    The Griffen smother was hardly anything Wallis could've prevented. I thought Wallis did a solid job and I would like t see him persisted with in this role.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    Agree that the smother goal was something special. Can't expect Wallis to be running at his side when we've got the ball.

    Wasn't entirely unhappy with Wallis' performance yesterday, was certainly raising the ire of the Hawks players. A few of them went after him at one stage in the third.

    Re: Lower/Picken in the side

    I'd like to see Wallis play the year out as our tagger. He's had a terrible season but it's a way of getting something out of it, rather than him playing poorly/getting dropped and playing VFL.

    If that means Lower/Cross don't return, so be it.

    No-one can (will) question Wallis's desire & effort, his major issue is when he gets the ball in his hand which is really holding him back at present.

    I wouldn't be unhappy with that either. Wallis has so much to offer the club off the field we need to do whatever we can to find a role for him.

    Can't believe a player like Hodge could be such a sook for getting sat on. The master of playing 'unsociable' football just within the rules and was crying to the umpires that Wallis was scragging him.

    They needed to look closer at Giff beheld by the arm and scragged all day.

    Hodge needs to get over it princess and think himself lucky it was Libba senior.

    I don't understand how The Age gave Hodge votes and not Isaac Smith who was clearly the Hawks best player. Hodge did a couple of good things but Wallis also negated alot.

    Re: Lower/Picken in the side

    Any idea of Mr Lowers' contract length. Being a third timer, picked as a free agent it couldn't be more than a year could it?

    Useful player, but if Wallis is played with relative success as a tagger like he was on the weekend, and we've got Picken, where does this leave Eds' brother?

    The media love Hodge to bits.

    2 to 3 year deal I suspect. He knocked back a deal to stay with Fremantle.

    Wasn't he let go by Freo, who then scrambled to make him stay after McPhee retired?

    They delisted him but quickly told him they would redraft him. Lower knocked that back to come to us.
