Will be a star if he stays injury free.

Pop quiz: which person said

A short player gets a few years to prove he can play.

A tall player gets x years to prove he cannot play.

Ruined by that cuckoo, Roughead. Came in, ruined a promising career, acting outside his remit, then inculcated Battle with the idea that Hawthorn truly was the family (babysitting) club, and then pissed off taking Battle with him. To rub salt into the wounds he achieved sfa and returned to his home...

As I understand it, Crouch will need to retire voluntarily, or else we will have to keep him on. Hopefully he will agree to go. Surely Van Es and Ross are gone. I reckon Bonner should be gone too, but I suspect he'll be retained. I don't understand why people think Hotton should be kept on: he's cu...

Bombers are playing like junk. They look worse than than West Coast.

Interesting to see this thread on the forum given that I was speaking to someone VERY close to the club earlier this week who said that the players don't really like him because he has an attitude problem (stuck up). Hope it's not true... I was called stuck up by some. Mainly I was underconfident a...

Coaches did well today Not sure if I agree. Lacking in imagination and flair. Battle up forward was good. But the overall setup was horrible. Something needs to change. What were your moves?? How do you coach missed set shots?? 18 inside 50s q3 for 1.5????? WTF does coaching do about that ??? Settl...

Something needs to change.

Xerri did so well against Marshall in the pre season.

Now being repeated.

Aliir 196cm powerfully built
Higgins 177cm small forward

To assume Aliir didn’t contribute by doing the mid air kick would be laughable.

First game back. Rusty and needing a touch. Interstate game.

I suspect he might get another chance, but not undeserved ones, I hope.

Never change… at least the team ain’t Norf.

Sensational. Another honourable loss.

Still 2 minutes to make it 67. I know the team’s got it in them.

It feels like the whole team did the Schneider clap.

Wow… was that a missed holding the ball?

Saints final score will be 67…. Just feels like that. 35 at half time. Double is 70. 67 seems prophetic.

I like Lyon. I disagree with the team selection though. Max should have been replaced with a tall and still hasn’t been.

Shame about Van Es. Foot injuries are the worst.

If he goes on LTI, will it mean a mid season pickup?

Looking forward to see Dow play.

1 more week for Wood. How many games has St Kilda won without him? 1-2?

Next week my expectations will be 0. If it’s not a 10 goal loss, it’s a win.

Not an aberration or reality check.

More a case of selection failure. King replaced twice with a runner when he's gone off for suspension or injury. Need a tall for a tall.

King suspended
Bring in a mid

King injured
Bring in a mid

So much so of a structure based system.
