Have a freakin crack.

Dont let them play the possession game. Because you can bet the lot on the fact that they will play us the exact same way they did last year.

Numbers are near his B&F year at the crows.
That's why we got him in.

Sunscreen
100%

Would be incredibly handy to have him available for this game.

Good chance Marshall will miss.

Yeah she's a smokeshow. And a dead set gun footballer too.

Which nearly golden years is he talking about?

Systematic incompetence.

Unless you are getting near 50 goals a season as a small forward without any other tricks like midfield ability.... Really two years is the absolute max.

It needs to happen.

Good thread. Great post Teflon and I couldn't agree more. Lyon in a supporting role would be interesting. He had done many years as an assistant before getting a main gig. It all depends if he can buy in to Ratten's plan and way of thinking and can separate himself from the senior coaching job itsel...

Meanwhile Petracca is looking at a seven year 900k deal.

Yeah I just dont care before round 17.

And that is only if we are a chance at finishing in the eight.

Five plus would be a good start.

No Moon ball entries = Good Seb Ross.
Moon ball entries = Bad Seb Ross.

Good Seb.

Good on him.

yeah minimum of four, probably 8.

Out of character for him. Really out of character.

Will be absolutely fine.

I reckon McDonald would have continued on being s*** if he was traded out.

It was the firecracker up the jaxie that he needed.

Long was a best 22 player last year.

So much so we damn well appealed at the tribunal for him TWICE.

Down on form, down on confidence. Needs his head pulled in in a hurry.

String a couple of games together at Sandy and he will definitely be in the running again.

Bytel was at the start of at least three of our goals in the second quarter.

His first use is OFTEN, very, very good.

Worst hawthorn team fielded in 20 years.

Should be at least five more goals ahead.
That said, good things happening. Shepherds, blocking. Running in the right spots.
This is a confidence builder.
Just dont shyt the bed.

You have to pay someone in this crazy system.

I guess we could have thrown an extra 300k at six tackle Jack Newnes or something..

Front loaded.

Still making a killing but heavily performance based.

The list of hindsight blunders is a mile long....everyone has them.... EVERYONE. 2008 Draft: We could've had- Premiership players- Ryan Schoenmakers, Luke Shuey, Jack Redden, Jordan Roughead, Liam Sheils...... Premiership players AND All Australians Dan Hannebery, Dayne Beams All Australians- Rory ...

Personally I would have been baulking at the diabetes issue. Petracca was still the best player in the draft, but not the best key forward. The importance of the decision here should have seen them minimising as much risk as possible. Diabetes, skinfolds... That would have been enough for me. Thanks...
