I am not sure if it still holds true, but the general calculation used to be for every week of no exercise, it takes around four weeks to regain the lost fitness. So if the players were to spend six weeks with no exercise, it would take nearly six months to get back to a similar level of fitness. No...

it is after 8 consecutive years of service at the same club. That would make someone who played VFL with them eligible at the end of next year.

What about GWS? I thought a few of them were becoming free agents? No, GWS has not been in the competition long enough. How does Rory count then? Just curious He is Gold Coast, they have been in longer. Also, they are counting the year before the Gold Coast started when they played in the NEAFL

Looking at what they have left themselves with for the next two years, you can only assume that they are putting all of their eggs in the free agency basket. They are hoping that the hawthorn "brand" will allow them to keep bringing in free agents to top up. The issue they may face is that...

They way I see it their net position is....

In:
Mitchell mk2
O'meara

Out:
Mitchell mk1
Lewis
Hill
2 x 1st rnd pick
2 x 2nd rnd pick
3rd rnd pick
4th rnd pick
Any illusion that they are somehow the masters of trade week.

They are left with a first pick of 88 in the draft.

Bailey Rice our sprinter. Ran midfield in his heat, no chance even if he scraped through to the final. Majak Daw will only be challenged by the suburban footballer.

Glad gresh wasn't rested this week as one of our posted constantly suggests. Said poster has him pigeonholed as another small forward. He'll come around when he sees that Gresham is a gun midfielder. Just making up lies hey BC. Gresh was obviously being groomed as an out and out mid eventually - pl...

Glad gresh wasn't rested this week as one of our posted constantly suggests. As long as he is fit, he should be playing, this sort of experience is priceless.

Greg Norman?.... No never heard of him?? Hang on, we he that 'shark' guy who was a two time major winner who was number 1 in the world for 5 years??? Hmmm ... I though he went ok?? Jordan Would you bank on him to sink two frees or Nick Riewoldt to kick a goal from 40 I've missed more than 9000 shot...

5: Steven 4: Riewoldt 3: Bontempelli 2 Weller 1: Dempster 5: Dempster 4: Steven 3: Bontempelli 2: Geary 1: Riewoldt My guess is that AR gave Dempster 5 for some role he played in the team that 75% of supporters wouldn't have a clue about. Or Steven 5+4 Bont or Dempster 4+2 Dempster or Bont 3+3 Roo ...

So if we win next week we are only 1 game behind North. However they have a percentage of 111,9 and we have 91.7. Speaking of maths, I don't know s*** about %. Does someone know if that is catchable by the end of the year? Games against Brissy, Blues and Tigers give us a chance to hit the scoreboar...

Dunstan was ok and won some inside ball... Played one of his better games But again, 17 touches as a starting inside mid is not going to get it done for a vote He was not poor by any means... But I had the others as clear winners in there positions Fair enough, I thought his 6 clearances (equal hig...

Very hard to split... Except Jack S 5- Steven 4- Weller 3- Geary 2- Riewoldt 1- Dempster Unlucky Newnes, Hickey, Gilbert, Membrey Interesting that you couldn't find a spot for dunstan. He was instrumental out of the centre. Can't argue with the blokes you have in there but he at least deserves a me...

Great game again. Interested to see what a few posters say now.

Dunstan playing a sensational game.

Probably as bad as you would ever see it.

Melbourne should absolutely flog us.

As in the only team to have lost to Essendon this year?

Would have to be one of our youngest sides with roo, dempster and fisher all out

Geary would get a game in just about every side in the competition. His disposal looks worse than it is because of the immense pressure he is usually under when he turns it over and because of the lack of options he has to kick to. It is not just the precise kicking that makes hawthorn look good, it...

Murdoch? Didn't set the world on fire on Saturday being more solid than impacting, but as a defender of similar stature to Geary came from behind the player with the ball and roosted it 65 metres thru the centre. Compare. J. Geary 0 goals, 2 goal assists B. Murdoch 1 goal, 0 goal assists Not remote...

Hurley unlikely to go anywhere. Spoke to him after the newspaper reports saying he was going to the Tigers and he was as surprised as anyone. Hadn't spoken to the Tigers at all.

Not too many right footers kick all that well with their left either. Waste of time working on your non-dominant side when you rarely use it. Much better value on working on your strengths rather than your weaknesses.

Probably as mouthy as you would be standing in front of Geary. Absolutely zero chance of him being dropped, barring injury he will play every game this year and probably next year.

He got it

Every player in the afl has horrible mis-kicks and turnovers. Savage, Webster and newnes are some of our best kicks, but they can all have terrible shanks. More so savage who has some shocking turnovers. Lee was brought in partially because of his kicking, he had some horrible mis kicks on the weeke...

Geary wasn't the main culprit in that incident. He played on because Templeton was free but just as he was going to kick it, a hawks player closed Templeton down. Instead of moving to space, Eli was stationary. Something that Eli will learn from. If Geary had of kicked where he was originally intend...
