      Why is Paul Bevan still on our list? And why is he a premiership player and not Luke Vogels? I banged my head against the wall, when Bevan was brought in for Vogels, Vogels was ripped off big time!

          a man called gary ablett left the hawks after 6 games cos hated it went and played in the bush, he could play a little too.

          Guess they were poor clubman though both changed teams didnt they.

          As youngsters they couldnt handle the move from home either.

          Wayne Carey wanted to leave north as a youngster too, look how that ended up, in court
          Good points. You can add Nathan Ablett to the list as well. According to Connolly's logic one of their premiership heroes should be cast aside because he's a perennial adolescent.

            In Carey's case they did.

              From memory Vogels was dropped after a quiet game against the Eagles in the QF, Bevo came in for the Geelong game and kept his spot through the finals.

              For a while though it looked like Vogels might get a call-up for the GF anyway!

                Bevan was quiet in the Semi and Preliminary Finals, so why was he kept in again?

                Roos must have an obsession as bad as Connolly's.

                  but Vogels didnt thats the point - even Leigh Matthews said when Bevan went up and got his medal "he's probably thinking "do I deserve this" - well I dont think he did - I can only recall him being on the field for a few minutes - mind you - nice work if you can get it!
                  I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

                      Roos gives Lance Thompson a massive back-hander in this article.

                      Clearly questioning his knowledge of the AFL system, and therefore his competence as a player manager.

                      I would imagine LT would be very p***ed off with Roos right now.

                      Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.

                        lol! nah I blamed Hunter for that - he may not have had anything to do with it, but he was on the field and also because I'm not fond of him!

                          That might give us a clue as to the current problem.

                            I want to see Davis in the team, but obviously only if he plays by the rules.
                            I think he has 3-4 years left as a good footballer.

                            Michael O'Loughlin has 1 year after this at best. His leg speed is long-gone and it's only some creative body work and (still) amazing instincts and reactions that are allowing him to contribute.
                            Davis for The MOL is a much better swap than for Playfair, who add's much-needed structure to our fwd line.
                            I'd hate to see us trade Davis, then for The MOL to go soon after (or the same time).

                                Oops, I was more thinking of Hall-gate and who would have come in as a forward line replacement if we weren't the AFL's love child rather than whether Bevo deserved his spot, but fair enough point!
