    Round 7

    Looks like Rodan's done his knee.

    Shame, I love that kid.

    Whoever said Hawthorn are going to worry us needs to have a re think. Two very average teams.

    Re: Round 7

    Didn't Rodan tear them to bits early on? Hope it's a medial.
    Who was saying Hawthorn are better than us? Maybe on the day, but not tonight IMO.
    Port - maybe not "the Pakistan of the AFL" afterall ^_^ Made hawthron work for it.

    Hawks didn't impress me much tonight.

    They have been lucky to get away with 4 wins thus far.

    If we loose to them in round 10 I would be very surprised.

    They're still the "Pakistan" of the AfL .How do you explain being 40 PTS up on a bunch of kids and last weeks lamentable 38 tackles and flogging from an ordinary side. Yeah the effort was good, but it's only every so often.

    Based on 2007 ==> now, aren't Hawthorn the Pakistan of the AFL?
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    Was thinking this last night. I guess Hawthorn have the excuse that they have a large Port presence.

    Are we a good side? I think we are just above average at the moment.

    Re: Round 7

    How bad was the decision to pay the mark to Hodge deep in the 3rd qtr?

    The resulting goal was a huge momentum changer.

    Hodge playing on would have been some sort of indicator to the ump that maybe he didn't have first purchase.

    There is a lot of talent on our list though.

    I think we are a good side going through a rough patch. We just need to keep working
    hard until a few cards start falling our way. We have played a lot of kids , the intensity
    at the contest under Boyd's leadership has been consistently pretty good. I've been impressed with him.
    A few of the kids have dropped their heads occasionally but for the main part we have
    not as a team dropped our heads.

    Things are very fluid at the moment with our lineup and we are a long way from settling down into our best 22.
    If we can scrape a win today and get on a bit of a roll, get some players back, I'm confident we can come good. We miss Wood, a fit Higgins, a fit Cooney , a fit Lake, Gia and Hall . Sherman and Libba have been fantastic pickups.

    Agree.

    Essendon and Freo are going OK at the moment but will possibly fade as the season goes on.

    Collingwood some way in front and Geelong looking like the only possible challenger.
