he does hence my excitement...i think he is the type of person that once the team shows he is part of it and can be a major part at that ON the field...not just at training...you will see him get more aggressive and actually feel the need to stand up for the boys ala at the eagles
him going toe to toe with a young pavlich was interesting to watch...both couldnt fight for peanuts however it was a solid show of aggression from the big boy
its not a once off either...soon enough i expect him to start doing the same sort of thing with us
Why don't you rack off you self-righteous piece of s***? Guy/gal has a right to ask a question. Whether you think it is stupid or not does call for a response like that. Makes me wonder if I follow st kilda or collingwood sometimes.
As to the original question, well I dont like the idea of Goose at CHF. I think his place is down back. However, Hamill imparting some lessons to say players like Charlie or even Kosi, who does well when he throws his body around, might not be a bad idea. Not sure if Hamill is the coaching type though.
Dunno how much I'd want Kosi throwing his body around, we all know how likely it is to break down!
Someone who I reakon has a bit of that real mongrel about them is Jones, I'm not saying anything about his skill, only that he has that mongrel and intensity about his attack on the ball.
I reakon Goddard has a bit of Hamill about him as well, however, I wouldnt really want to see him playing forward, we need his freakish delivery into our forward line more.
Armo looked great last week, really throwing his body around and really attacking the ball, really excited to see it! I reakon Charlie Gardner has a lot of potential as well!

Exactly. He doesn't have the agility/turning ability to play a small or medium role. I could have seen him as developing as a contesting forward a few years ago, but I think he's well and truly entrenched in the back half now. A quality CHB is a good asset, and not one you move around lightly.

was in good gest, but he hit me pretty hard, said he was gonna fire me up.
Went on and played the best game of my life. Got BOG.
After that he used rough me up before every game.
Whatever it takes to get the beast out, but i'm a big advocate of a bit of rough and tumble.
That's actually reasonably common in my experience, especially in bigger guys (smaller guys develop mongrel a bit more easily). It actually takes a fair bit to fire Gehrig up, for instance.
Blindly delusional optimist. Fan of the Blake.
