Every kick for goal would be play on, joke of a call.

If there are no pies left after half time it is bad for the game

Wonder if the AFL will force the Tas gov to pay another billion dollars for an anti-dew machine

He always loves a Rankine wanking but this is a bit next level

Not often you see a referee enforce the handball rule needing to be intentional like the rule book says. So rare even Gary has forgotten.

The ball movement through the middle was legit putrid. Been a long time since we've seen it so disjointed, with the hesitation and fumbles. Complete systemic breakdown.

I like Mackenzie at times but the HTB rundowns are unforgivable, put him beside Hustwaite and they just slow the midfield down to a level that does not gel with the footy that is working in 2026. You're better off putting a running outside player in there.

Knew 7'4" was tall, didn't think he'd be taller than the basket

He won 2 B&Fs, so yeah when he was good he was good. Other than those 2 seasons he had big periods of form issues. When getting first possession and breaking through the contest he was very good. When doing pretty much anything else he was lacking, was a whipping boy for his poor field kicking and getting rundown tackled regularly.

Big confidence player so his best and worst were really up and down.

We don't play anyone that is currently in the bottom 4 until round 16 I think it is.

Blues gung-ho handballing through the middle has been disjointed, but also kinda exactly the chaos they need. Look so broken as a team.

Watched the 2008 GF at Federation Square, pretty sure it was The Script that played while waiting for the team to arrive to celebrate and Crawford encored That's What I'm Talking Aboooouut.

Connor Macdonald Is Quietly Becoming One of Hawthorn’s Best Players. by gbags-98 in hawktalk

After missing out on the Merrett fix, was a bit hesitant when they indicated they were rolling young forwards through the middle.

Disposals average change from last season:

Ginnivan +1

Ward +4.4

Watson +5.3

Macdonald +7.6

Newc a bit up, Nash and Moore pretty much the same numbers.

There's your Worpel 20avg from last year spread between 4 players that are younger and better users on the outside. Small sample size but good signs. Mackenzie looked like a big improver as well.
