    Also thought it was funny that his hip injury was touted as an excuse for his lack of fitness and his conditioning at the start of the year, but when he needs to find a list spot then his hip injury is no issue at all.
    He had most of the year out and had surgery. I imagine that would have helped his hip troubles.

                Still a nice way to earn a crust though.
                They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                        Not as if rumoured he was part of the issues with the kids at our club.

                            I hope he makes a go of it. On ability alone he should have had offers from a few clubs but this indicates there are some doubts on his application more than his ability. Collingwood, Essendon and the Suns should have been lining up for him.

                                It may just be that we questioned his ability to get up, but on the surface it definitely sounds like something more to it.

                                I would sleep much easier at night if Crameri and Stringer didn't end up at clubs that will be around the mark next year. Why couldn't North Melbourne or Carlton take them?

                                    It doesn't really matter. It only matters how our team goes.
                                    Hawthorn have watched Gary Ablett and Lance Franklin go on to play some of the best footy we've ever seen at other clubs - but neither played/have played in a premiership once they left. Richmond lost Brett Deledio, we lost Ryan Griffen.

                                        Good luck to him. His 7 goals against the Bombers in 2015 in a thrashing will always live with me.
