 Yeah i agree Gilly, I told myself not to make a big deal out of not having a beer since Thursday though.... Yes thats right, Friday no beer, Saturday no beer, SUNDAY NO BEER!!

 

That is a huge deal no matter which way you look at it...

 

I'll definetly have one in the morning on the way to work....

 

I just feel Gilly that if the Hawks can keep the most underated player in the league ( James Frawley ) fit then its their again....

 

The bags he kicks and the Forwards he subdues is incredible....

 

Bring on the footy!

 I am here.  Just not doing much fishing!  Went to watch the women on saturday at the new stadium.  And both the stadium and the footy was pretty bloody good i thought.  Always good to beat the cold pies.  To their credit, the girls on both teams handed out quite a few hard hits and some biffo too.

#17 for freo, dana hooker goes alright.

Mon, 2018-02-12 08:45

 My expectations are for Fremantle to pushed back into contention for the 8.  A few more wins than last season.  Another preaseason into the youngsters and a couple of good trades and drafts.

 

My wish for 2018?  That Harley Bennell actually realises that AFL careers are not built on talent alone, but on a commitment to train hard, obey team rules, and respect his team mates and fans.

That's what I'm afraid of Unc and for what? The Big Bash has revitalised domestic cricket but the AFL doesn't need that and I'd rather see a return of the State of Origin even if it was West Coast that began killing it by not releasing their best players for fear of injury.

Not expecting big things from West Coast this year but looking forward to seeing if Ryan can translate with game to the AFL and what Rioli can do at ground level. Also looking forward to seeing Venables and Watson take the field as well as Duggen and Yeo moving into the midfield a bit more and no Masten.

And then there's Nic. Geez it'll be nice to have a ruckman or two taking the field this year and actually get first, clean usage of the ball.

 100% agree.....

 

Although Clarko says "if it aint broke, smash it" I don't get what Gill is trying to achieve with this one.....

 

I'm not sure how the Afl can persuade teams to play better players but IMO you'd be foolish to take your eyes off the main prize.....

 

Just like 20/20 I wont take much notice until season proper starts, well all except keeping an ear to the ground regarding the youngsters form guides as i'm in a couple of Supercoach leagues again...

 

Good to hear you on the mend Unc, Good to see you're still lurking Randall....

 

I would like to see my team ( Hawks obviously ) have a year that is not plagued with injuries, a rebuild is necassary but a rebuild with some of the best out hurts....

 

I'd like to see Omeara play a couple of injury free years to see what all the hype is about with the lad.....

 

Be good to see Barlow get back to playing good footy after the leg snap

Thu, 2018-02-15 08:13

You'd think he'll definitely miss a few Boon. As someone that recently did an ACL (3 months before NicNat) it's not the injury/surgery that's the issue but it's everything else around it that sets you back. I reckon Nic has the mental strength to put the injury out of his mind and go in at 100% but the worry is his graft hammy and the degeneration of the knee joint with his 100+kg frame which could see him coming in 75% fitness. We've all seen an unfit NicNat and he does look veeery lazy at times.

That being said I'm looking forward to seeing Shuey getting some silver service at full tilt off those fijian palms this year.

That Brad Hill sure can run... away from the contested ball. 6 disposals of which 4 were clangers. He's effectively just a fast Chris Masten.

Mr Potato Head sounds like he's somehow gone further backwards and can't even mark a cleanly delivered footy.

Perhaps the job was advertised on Seek, maybe thats why Jetta is a front runner?

Frost as an Eagles supporter i think you are a barking up the wrong tree trying to smear his image while rooting for a team that thrived on the gear for years.....

Langdon just tipped the dockers to finish higher than Eagles this year.....was only JLT I know but a big difference to the hundred point flogging we got this time last year.

 Yep long season perhaps but momentum is everything nowadays.....

 

You can be sure a couple will suprise with it and a couple will fail....

 

St k & Melb i'd say are two that could go either way also?

 Not sure if i was more surprised at freo's improved ball movement or the lacklustre eagles performance?  Hard to judge freo's game because the eagles were pretty ordinary.  I liked what i saw from freo, but expect it to be much less effective in the pressure of home and away.

True Randall...i dont have the confidence to pick them away in R1 V Port thats for sure.

Langdon tipped Sydney to slide a couple this year also...so R1 at the new stadium makes a hard pick also as the eagles will be finding there feet at the new ground compared to Subiaco!!...but 60,000 strong support might be the difference.
