You may need a new Melways if you think their facilities are in Toorak.

What is everyones opinion on Rowell?

He cracks in obviously, but how much class does he have? His numbers are pretty meh for a bloke who does not separate himself with any match winning magic.

Closer than to Collingwood. Where is it then? Richmond

Technically it's in Melbourne, Richmond cuts off at Punt Road. And it's still closer to Collingwood than it is Toorak by about 1km. Also a very weird hill to die on when you look at how far both our current and future home base is from Hawthorn.

I don't think he's any better than Worpel, perhaps he is able to get it a bit more, but I think he lacks polish. Dodgy ball drop, dodgy handball. Every side needs someone which elite in tight ball winning, which he has, but I think compared to others in that role, Worpel, Viney, Tom Mitchell, Libba he is a rung below and I wouldn't go all out on that type.

Cripps, Bont big mid types that can push forward, or smash through a contest yes. Elite users you can get heaps on the outside and make excellent decisions and hit targets like Daicos yes. But I wouldn't give a farm for a bash and crash little handball out type.

probably true right now but he was an animal on the inside this year coming back from injuries... I think he can be one of the premier inside players... does need more tricks tho

Bomber nuff getting a bit ahead of themselves

Who's Your Pick for the Next 10 Years?

I might be jumping the gun with this poll since the Hawthorn players have shown a lot more so far, but here we go anyway! So, who would you choose for the next decade? Calsher Dear Height: 195cm Age: 19 Nick Watson Height: 170cm Age: 19 Vs Nate Caddy Height: 193cm Age: 19 Isaac Kako...

Kid's hamstrings are made of tissue paper.

Huge concerns for North as star Roo sent for scans

North Melbourne is sweating on the results of scans of young gun George Wardlaw, who injured his hamstring at training on Wednesday

Poor bastard - could be a star yet he's saddled with injury and having to play for Norf.

He’s certainly not become the star he looked like he might have been.

He’s still the best two way contested mid in the comp. Tackles, clearances and contested possessions he’s in the top 6 in the comp. Just has nothing when the ball gets outside the contest.

He’s got a very similar skill set to Cripps without the size of Cripps (the one thing Cripps has going for him) but a better defensive side.

Really sad. He's definitely a player.

You'd think Clarko would be sourcing / employing the same training methods we had for Cyril when his hammies kept pinging. Wardlaw could seriously be anything if his body let him.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Good ol Richmond, want to turn a failed defender turned failed forward into a defender.

Jacob Koschitzke failed to make a lasting impression as a forward in his debut Richmond season last year, and the Tigers’ coaching panel has since made the call to trial him in defence. The former Hawthorn key forward has played in the back half this pre-season during match simulation and given Noah Balta’s absence for the first four games due to suspension, and pending the short-term health of Josh Gibcus, Koschitzke will be in the frame for early-season senior action as a defender.

Wouldn't you?

I mean, seriously, wouldn't you?

Other clubs. Other people's choices.

Except a member of a decent team.

Did he sign a lifetime contract or something?

He's just got to be good enough to earn promotion to an AFL club.

It’s amazing how Collingwood fans think they are going to be premiership contending this year. Theirs a great song about a leaky boat

We can't really throw shade there, we're off to Dingley!

Of all the Vic clubs, we'll have the biggest distance between our training centre and our home suburb

He meant our spiritual home - i.e. the distance between Dingley and Hawthorn.
