Round 12-The other games

I thought it was scary how good Franklin was in the last quarter!

He was in defence, ran through the middle, broke the lines and created run going forward.

If he plays a role in the middle similar to what Richo has been doing look out, will be one unstoppable force.

As for Luke Hodge...Class. A warrior that I would be proud to go into the deadliest of battles with.

As for Callan Ward...Oops.


Agree on Buddy,

His natural ability is freaky

His natural ability is scary

He can make a mockery of his opponents

If he doesn't get a big head, who knows what he could achieve?

On Hodge, yeah he is a great player, no doubt.

like the look of him aswell, similar type to S Selwood although maybe a bit classier

eagles are tanking there way through the season beautifully


They are going about their business in an orderly way, agree.

They are after Rich if Natanui is not there in the draft

Cooney had a blinder again.

Making everyone who said that he was a dud 1st pick eat their own faecal matter. Well words I mean, but it may as well be sh!t.

Now, if only he could do something about that head of his.


Yeah he is another very good player, he has pace, skill, foot skills and is footy smart and knows how to read the play, any knockers would have to be hard judges
 
Adelaide kicked themselves out of last nights match, and really should have won comfortably.

There were some incredible umpiring decisions early that really favoured the Hawks - not usually the case when you're the Victorian club playing interstate.

He did look good in the short time he played down field. But he is averaging around 6 goals a game, I think they'd be happy just to leave him forward as much as they can.
 
gee there is a lot of luv for hawthorn on these boards lol

anyway...what do you all think of STKilda now, not the real deal?
Also, NM look to be in trouble, I think they lost a ruckmen with a PCL?

There should be plenty of Victorian interest factor in the second half of the season and the finals. Hawks, Cats, Dogs, Pies and maybe one other?

The Saints are a basket case & they face some very lean times ahead.No premiership in sight nor finals.

Bock didnt even man up on franklin past the 50m arc. If thats the best buddy can do unmanned then he aint a good midfielder.
yep.

went up ground in the last quarter to get a kick and managed to find it 9 times which was a good effort.

but 57% disposal efficiency,7 clangers,2 marks,5 frees against,1 tackle and 1 goal 6 is disgraceful from the so called best player in the comp.

Great, that means they might be fired up for next week, and who do they play?? ?? !! :-[

sometimes that works the other way confidence they may now be mentally a basket case, everyone knows now they are mentally soft and if a team is down by 8 golas at 3/4 against port they would still be in with a chance to win
 
mexican_radio said:
uh oh, Port are getting a spank-o-rama from the cats

Good riddance as far as I'm concerned they proved themselves to be cowardly scum with todays game.

Thankyou ! He was average to poor last night. Bocky really is a premier backman now. Sheehan wasnt wrong when he stated Bock as top 50 this year.

helps when Craig lets him play loose in the backline picking up cheap kicks, should of gone into the middle with Buddy but didnt Crows deserved to lose

Franklin won the game for them in the last with inspiration. Keep saying it but he's a freak. Most of his clangers would have been attributed to his wayward kicking for goal. Bock was the winner but if Franklin had his kicking boots on and kicked 5 2 instead it goes the other way. Fine line realy.
