I was told that he kept Weddell distracted by talking to him non-stop for 120 minutes, which kept him down to his lowest disposal count for the year. Whatever it takes, Jed is the ultimate team man and will deliver.

Top 5 IMO, especially with SPP out. He is the only dangerous forward we currently have, and his importance is amplified by the lack of form and productivity from all of the tall forwards. In fact, DBJ is our second best forward, both based on goal return and on what your eyes tell you when we...

We’ve got to get more AFL games into him when he comes back after this injury lay-off.

I expected a few more Hawks votes tbh

I realise weather conditions were poor but 6 of our taller 7 forwards and backs were pretty ordinary. BZT gets a reprieve, but between the four taller forwards, Aliir and Ratugolea, our big guys weren’t great and haven’t been much chop all season.

I would take doing the basics very well over what we currently have in our forward line. Four tall forwards against the fourth bottom team, with Frost and debutant Phillips defending them and no Sicily and Scrimshaw. The result: 1 goal.

Two positives this year are Mead and Burgoyne consolidating spots in our 22 and playing solid, reliable AFL footy. I haven’t minded Sinn either given from how far back he’s come. They’ve gone some way to cover the disappointment of Bergman, Williams, Marshall, Jones and Georgiades not coming on.

I can’t get over Jake Waterman’s form. His stats are consistently reading like peak Tredrea. 17 touches, 13 marks, 5 goals. What a season he’s having.

I find it very hard to wish for Boak to be dropped when we have about 8 players consistently worse than him. The guy has limitations, some that have worsened with his age, but he’s working tirelessly when others are putting in baby steps. Unless Burton, Georgiades and McEntee are dropped first...

Close your eyes for a minute and imagine Connor being out there today. Ask yourself, would he have done what JHF and Butters did to get us the win. I’d love to think he would, but I have major doubts. He’s a fantastic footballer when everything is humming along. He needs to make sure there are...

Now is the time to punish poor form. Burton and Georgiades must be dropped. Sinn makes way injured. Bergman is in a hole playing on the wing and we are unable to take an intercept mark in defence. McEntee for all the over-dramatising of a couple of one percenters hasn’t kicked a goal since...

Surely the coaches see what we all see.

He’s almost certainly got paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. He may need an ablation which has a cure rate of 80-90%.

They sure are. Someone mentioned during the match how poor we are at defending ground ball in defence. They were spot on. We fumble, get out positioned, concede goal-side all the time and can’t stick tackles to save ourselves back there. Burton and Aliir are the headliners. Farrell looks the...

He was near the footy enough today to get more than 9 measly touches including an awful shank from the back pocket that cost a goal. About time that he and Georgiades matured a bit. They are being shown up by a lot of other draft contemporaries and younger players. Bergman is not in the same...

He kicked three goals as a forward on a day where we barely got it there for three quarters. Often contested against two opponents. Shame - not - for Karl Amon. Gave away the free for the Rioli goal with 33 sec left, then got tackled and dropped the ball with 5 sec left near the goal square.

He’s a downhill skier until he shows what JHF did today and what Butters did in the last quarter. That’s leadership.

After today, Lord and Scully could easily come in for Georgiades and Finlayson. Sweet has to come in for poor young Dante, who never gave up but just isn’t mature enough physically against the beast rucks. Jones - who I don’t rate at all - is a massive upgrade on Burton. Mckenzie could play...

If he can keep doing what he did today, he might just be the kryptonite to our football club’s Hinkleyfication.

No excuse. He’s fumbly. He was worth a lot in a trade last year. We missed out.

Perhaps ever

How many times were we given the shush sign today? Chol. Ginnivan. Maybe one other. Karma.

He kept us within 5 goals all game. Where were his mates for three quarters? Houston perhaps with his finishing. Farrell pretty solid. Burgoyne and Boak were competitive. But boy, any chance of our midfielders helping JHF?

Meek was too strong. We got back unit when Dixon went into the ruck.

By far the best.

This man is head and shoulders our best player. He is the one guy who keeps going regardless of what’s happening around him. Take a bow JHF.

Bergman 9. Burton 9. Georgiades 4. McEntee 7. Carn. Those four are pathetic.

Butters 14 disposals in three quarters, then 17 in the last with 7 contested. Amazing turn around. Amazing leadership. I crucified him through the game because I thought he had gone missing. He had. Then he was resurrected.

We could genuinely drop 8 players after that performance and yet still won. Ridiculous.

His last ten minutes was brilliant. Where was he for three quarters?
