    I don't know why he persists trying with the hair & beard to look like the last jumper #1 wearer though.

    A soccer goalie. That's what he kicks like.

    Hey Remi. Could you imagine turning up to training and kicking the ball like that when we were kids? The coach would have yelled "take it seriously or go home"
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs: Matt Suckling

    I've been to a number of Hawthorn home games and the whole crowd used to wind up when Suckers got it. Like some kind of siren was going off or critical mass was about to be reached until he kicked it.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Check his shoulders though, still hunched over at the point of contact which makes a massive difference to stability. If his left shoulder was already opened up and the right was following the kick wouldn't have travelled the distance.

    I have a question. Why is Roberts taking kick outs when we have the Suckling leg cannon locked and loaded?

    Fair question. Roberts should not be taking kick out's, for whatever strengthes he has kicking out is not one of them.

    The second kick out of defence is harder than the first and I'd much rather Suckling on that. Having said that, Suckling did take a few yesterday and coaches like to mix things up.
