    Caleb Daniel to the half forward line!
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Worst case scenario if we lost next week, then Duryea costs pick 66 this year. Another good Moneyball trade.

    Unbelievable pick up. Really strong overhead, uses it very well on his left and has a real calming presence. He’s exactly what our defence needed.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    He seems to go about his business without a lot fuss and fanfare. But I think we suffered when he was out for those few weeks.

    His gotten better playing for us. He had a poor disposal reputation at hawks. Clarkson tends to let these players go early .

    I think his playing within his means. And to his strengths .

    Fantastic pickup and thank you Taylor for choosing us !

    Clarkson has made some strange decisions regarding list management , not sure and don’t think it’s salary cap issues, he has let SUckling, Duryea Lewis and Hodge go but kept on Burgoyne and Roughead, not saying they aren’t good players but he would have got more years out of who he let go. Roughead was only going to slow up and struggle and Burgoyne at his age was a huge gamble to keep.
    Hodge and Lewis would have been good teachers as has been shown, and you would have got more years and experience out of SUckling and Duryea , I am sure they would have had players who struggle in the list to drop them than get rid of all these players.

    They look set to contend again without going anywhere near bottom 4. They know what they’re doing.

    They’re also an old side.

    Last week they had average games played of 135 games, ours was 75... they keep hanging in there, but I’m not sure how sustainable it is.

    They are still an old side even when you take their retirements/delistings over the last couple of years into consideration.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    The team that played the Eagles was a great mix age wise worth Burgoyne the only real old timer for the Hawks.

    They had 4 players under 50 games, 6 more under 100 and the rest over 150.

    They were on average 1 yr older and 5 games more experienced than the Eagles. They continue to stretch the envelope.

    With that sort of games ratio you'd want to be making finals at the least. That's a massive gap in the group you would normally be moulding your next leadership group from.

    Pick 59. That’s what this guy cost.

    Another great game last night. Love everything he brings to our club.

    Second hardest player at the club behind Liberatore.

    Now will be the back line general for a few weeks while Keath is out.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    It's a good observation.

    There is often some hesitancy in bringing in players from other club but he has been one of the generals of our back line since he arrived and he has been one of the more consistent performers.
    It's a shame he missed so much football last year.
