Could also consider that they are holding off so the big CEO's can get the added bonuses to their pay packet.

How Flags have Hawthorn won since we played them in 1971?

Hickey does more around the ground. Longer's strength is his ruckwork and lost today. We shouldn't just gift games to Longer. Let him earn it.

I agree whether its the national draft or the rookie draft, we should be ruthless when it comes to our future. Even though I think Schneider has been great for us it seems strange to put him on a rookie list instead of paying him as a development coach. It's one less player we can develop for to bui...

We are on a journey.

Dunstan needs to lose a few kg's in the thighs. Players just run by him.

Good changes. The INs have more upside than the guys who went out, bar McCartin.

Why does he need to be a forward? Can we teach him to be a defender? At least that way he has to show responsibility to work for the team rather relying on others to chase etc. Has the right attributes and the opposition forwards could help him build a tank. Brent Guerra started out as a forward and...

Get Lindsay Fox to bail us out again and call it the fox oval.

Doesn't help the fact we go to Wellington as the reigning wooden spooners and no superstars to get excited about.

Seemed to me he was watching from a far..Never seemed to show any emotion.

What does this player offer to be ahead of Hugh Goddard who plays a similar position? Whenever I watch him he just seems lost and slow to react. Late in the last quarter he had a paddock to run forward to and just hand balled it sideways to virtually a 1 on 1 situation. He needs to evolve a attackin...

Sounds like from Tony's perspective next week is more important then the effort they've dished up so far.

Hypothetically, if Riewoldt is a late withdrawal, do we go with either Curren / Templeton or do we play Paddy McCartin?

Minchington for Curren? Similar players, but Darren seems to have a better scoring ability than Thomas does.

The Stanley Trade has effectively made Bruce go from the defence to a full forward as well as requiring a CHB for 10 years in Hugh Goddard

Need one more tall. When Bruce went in the ruck we had no options once riewoldt drifted to the wing. So I would bring in the second ruckman. billings and hickey for saad and Templeton .

Pretty weak effort by the saints members then. 20k missing. Andy maher is right on this one

Does he bruise easily? Always seems to stay down when he gets hit.

Good read.
Siposs, Simpkin & Markworth would be in the gun this year. I feel like Bruce can make a good contribution this year, so he is one to watch for me.

This could be like the St.Kilda v Essendon Top ups match, but we are Essendon this time.

I can't believe both teams earn roughly the same in wages.

Our forwards will learn a lot from Hawthorn's defense.

TEN 1% per centers from Goddard, 6 more than any other teammate. Good effort. Shenton, Wright and Saunders.. Have a lot in common. Have a crack, but their kicking skills are not even vfl standard. Thought all our forwards did a good job. All putting a hand up for round 1. Acres was slow in game sens...
