We are going to get him for nothing and he has a bit of zip about him.

I definitely remember McEvoy being a very average player. Of course he is a decent player under the hawthorn dynasty of coaches. He would not be as good as he is now if he stayed with St Kilda.

Last game he got 21 hitouts 20 possessions and 2 goals. We know what we are gonna get with Hickey and Longer. I'd prefer we keep Hickey and get rid of Longer, but I'd prefer Lycett over the both of them.

Most likely Lycett is rucking in the forward line where it is the most packed. Almost impossible to hit out to advantage with 90% of the players on the ground inside that forward 50. Comparing hitouts to advantage isn't a good comparison.

Lycett averaging 20 hit outs as a back up compared to longer and hickeys 24 hit outs as the prime ruckman.
Billy Longer hasn't taken a contested mark this season according to AFL stats however Lycett and Hickey have the same number of contested marks at 11.

A lot of people are comparing Lycett to Hickey and Longer without realising majority of the games Lycett has played 2nd ruckman to Nic Nat... While Hickey and Longer have played their games as the prime ruckman yet are averaging same whiteout numbers; that's saying something. Seems an obvious upgrad...

I am no ITK, however I have heard from a reliable source that Billy has said he has no passion whatsoever for playing AFL and only does it because he's good at it and because it pays well. He says he would rather be playing in the locals with his mates; his mates can't believe this and say they envy...

It's been hard to be optimistic due to all the injuries but 2 30+ disposals in his first two games back gets me real excited. Given he is something different that we don't already have I hope he gets a gig soon. Did anyone watch his game yesterday?

I hope paddy does end up recovering from these head knocks and you can't fault his courage to attack the ball. Watching the game however, he attacks the ball with his head, and I am starting to think whether he actually has a brain. Almost like watching a caveman, he genuinely throws his head toward...

It's not just that its that when we get the ball with brown playing we are playing with 17 players.
Nobody kicks the ball to him because he can't kick; he literally just takes up space.
As solid as he is defensively, offensively he is horrendous.

I used to agree with you but after seeing Newnes kick it out on the fool which resulted in a goal in which he didn't give a s*** about. Pretty shithouse

ok he might be the best ruckman on our list but he is still s***. Hence my point about our s*** ruck stocks

Ok if you have a problem with this then tell me who he is better than Sam Jacobs (ADE), Stefan Martin (BRI), Jarrod Witts (GC), Brodie Grundy (COL), Paddy Ryder (PA), Ben McEvoy (HAW), Todd Goldstein (NM), Max Gawn (MEL), Zac Smith (GEE), Aaron Sandilands (FRE), Nic Nat (WCE), Kreuzer (CAR). He is n...

This is a pure analysis IMO. Billy Longer fit and firing is still in the bottom three ruckmen in the entire competition and that is a fact. Jack Billings is my favourite player and I hate to say this but he is a pure outside player that struggles in the midfield when contested ball is involved. I ha...

Was he fit?

Did he manage to get to some contests?

What happened here

He was average at best.
Shouldn't expect too much really but to be honest he was s**t.

Hipwood is a year younger and already has 50% more career goals than Paddy. And I think Hipwood started down back. Let's face the facts. Part of the reason Paddy gets concussion is his lack of awareness and lack of athleticism. He has also played roughly 50% more games than paddy has and he's young...

https://www.zerohanger.com/just-in-fourth-victorian-clubs-enter-the-race-for-tom-lynch-18415/ Just read we are chasing him with HUGE money behind it. I doubt he will leave as the AFL will pay for him to stay at the GC. Personally, he would be a great addition. I know we already have a number of key ...

Sadly newness is nothing more than a role player. Yes he has metres gained because he bombs the ball long to no one. Whether its our horrible bomb it inside 50 and hope something happens game plan or his lack of talent I'm not sure. He hasn't taken his game to another level for the past 3 seasons yo...

A few draftees think he's one of the best kicks in the draft so he mustn't be too bad

If you switch picks 8 & 9 from last years draft, he guessed the top 10 exactly. I'm not saying this is how it will go, but it may go like this.
He is predicting we pick up Hunter Clark and Nick Coffield.
I would love Clark personally, and not as keen on coffield but what do we all think?

Your percentages are completely made up and only based on your opinion of the teams this year. You don't know which teams will go up and down, and that will happen, the ladder never stays the same the next year... Injuries, game plans, team chemistry... It isn't just about what players you have, as ...

He is very quick but a s*** kick.
Averages 4 turnovers a game

Raph 'The greatest of All Time' Clarke is not the whisperer.

Contracts mean stuff all these days.
