Following our exes...................

[Dancin' Douggy]

Re: Following our ex's...................

Got enough of the ball but only had 2 tackles for the game and 1 tackle the week before.
All the best to Shaun I always wished he could have built on the 1st or 2nd season he had with before the elbow injury.
I think he wouldn't have the intensity for our new style of play and he struggled with the last style of play also.
I think if you remove the past merits all the players that have left with exception to number 16 would not have helped us move forward.

You would think though Hotdog, but then again, having a morose and unwilling captain must have really dragged the enthusiasm down across the whole group. They all just look like a huge heavy weight has been lifted off their shoulders. Maybe it's actually better that Griffynne isn't there full stop. Looking at games over the last few years, I don't think I ever saw him smiling. He was playing good serious committed footy, but seemed to be doing it joylessly.

Higgins doing well at North. Good on him.

He is the cherry on top of the cake. But if you don't have the cake, the cherry has nowhere to sit. Did Norf really need another one-way finisher in the Dal Santo mould? Time will tell. There's no doubting his talent and skill.

I would prefer Honeychurch in my team than Higgins.

Higgins is a much, much better player than Honeychurch is so many ways.

But I agree with you.
Our gameplan is based on tackling pressure, and for all the things Higgins can do better than Honeychurch - right now Honey is better than Higgins in the one aspect of his game that is the most important to us.

Honeychurch Wallis and Jong are all tougher than Higgins, which is significant. Higgins will continue to struggle against stronger opposition, even though he is talented as you have suggested.

Higgins is akin to professional athletes like Coop & Reimer. They're no good at one on one, but from a free throw line with no physical pressure they're great. Thinking, he's more like Squeak than the gun players of Coop & Reimer.

Yep, starred in the preseason without the physical pressure. Terrific skills but doesn't have the physicality or two-way running

Re: Following our ex's...................

Happy to occasionally see ex's in real life, but when it comes to the dogs, our ex's are dead to me - I cease to care about anything they do post us

I dont wish for bad things to happen to them, I just dont care, my only interest is the players we have

Another Brian fade by Lake:

Lake in court for driving while suspended

HAWTHORN'S Brian Lake will appear in the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Friday for the offence of driving while suspended.

Hawthorn said in statement that Lake had notified the club at the time of the offence and explained he was unaware that he had exceeded his demerit point limit.

Great trip to training from Caroline Springs to Waverley.

Bad enough with a car.

I think that Hawthorn might organise another means of transport for him. Helicopter, rocket ship or something along those lines.
