    Kids these days are so soft. Tim Watson had played 2 full seasons by the time he was 18.

        We have a smallish player who can play as a forward and take contested pack marks, off the ground and overhead. Take a look at the first quarter of the first match against Port at the SCG. No names no pack drill. Our problem isn't the lack of short arses but finding a mobile tall.

          I think it's finally time for Grundy to be given a decent run in his natural position.

            Contested marks from 14 games - 3!!

              We should have kept Vogels - I felt he could have been a star if given the opportunity. Reminded me a bit of Nathan Ablett watching the 2005 highlights DVD a while ago.

                    Haven't noticed other clubs queuing up for Vogels services.
                    The Carey and Longmire affair was a long time ago when the club was in a very different situation to what it is today.
                    If you are going to make comparisons, at least make them logical and relevant.

                      What about trying leaping leo up forward, he is becoming a bit of a liability in defence, however he can take a good mark, not sure what he's like in front of goal but i know that he used to play as a forward early in his career!

                        Not such a silly idea. His kicking for goal is not too bad, he kicked several goals last year.

                        I thought he may have been pushed into the fwds on Sat nite, but maybe he was following his opponent. And yes he does seem to be too much of a liability down back of late. And most of all, we all know he loves to take a screamer!!

                          We got Hank.....who has done a serviceable job.

                          Although I do like the idea of White - may stretch the Hawk defence.

                            Hank is a great lead and mark, but, if only his kicking was a bit more, umm, consistent.

                              There's something very consistent about Hank's kicking.

                                Hehe, I knew someone would pick that up. Glad u didn't let me down DA!!

                                But to be fair to Hank, he has kicked 3 in a game for us, and is averaging 1 goal a game, so he is a little consistent.
