    -Mitch Honeychurch looks to be running on top of the ground again.

              The best quarter I have ever seen Mitch play. He was clean and showed a real turn of foot.

                Darley ain't got it.
                Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                    Love how Zaine puts the hurt on if he can't affect the spoil.

                    Got a bit of mongrel in him.

                      I'm still in the camp that sees his maximum damage as a rebounding and running tall defender. And that's saying something as Mick Turner and other Falcon cheer leaders have made your comparison for 18 months. He's going to be a very good player, perhaps even more so than I thought when I first saw him and then I thought he'd be very good.

                          How has Darley looked by foot?
                          Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                            Just switched on the TV and realised the this game was on.

                            Gee we look slow. Windy conditions are making our skills look pretty ordinary. The bombers look sharper.

                              Hamilton through traffic to Boyd in the square. What a star.
                              They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                                Tom Boyd should really be dominating at this level like we saw Stringer and Bontempelli when they were back in the VFL. He took a decent contested mark during the 3rd but it was just his height that gave him the upper hand. I want to see him use his body strength to move defenders and protect the ball drop.

                                Smith looks like a keeper. He moves well and found himself running into space a few times. I like him.

                                Hamilton looks ok from what I have seen. He is a smart player with a nice sidestep.
