I know that as footy nerds, we often talk about our club's bad draft picks or bad trades over the years.

But just reading again about Dan Hannebery going into have surgery on his calf, surely this would have to be one of the worst trades ever.
Saints gave him a 4 year deal, on over $700k pa and in this, his 4th year, in total he has played 15 games. Pretty lousy return on their investment.

Was it only a four year deal? Damn, I thought it was five. Absolutely shocking deal by the Saints, even the numpty's in the street knew that Hanners had a pensioners body n should have been sent straight to a nursing home.

Saw a glimpse of the sport segment on 7 News.
Bont has a shoulder injury, think it is the left shoulder.
He might be in doubt for round four.
Our players can target if he plays.
It would be a massive plus for us if he is out-of-sorts.

The trope at the heart of Cyril Rioli’s retirement

The revelations about how the champion player was treated at Hawthorn are part of a familiar pattern of prodigious Blak talents leaving footy too soon because of how they are treated.

‘The only club I wouldn’t put my hand up for right now’: Why Hawks legend Cyril Rioli has stayed away

It is almost four years since Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett spoke to Cyril Rioli’s wife Shannyn in a manner that ultimately precipitated the champion footballer’s dramatic exit from the football club and the game that he had so richly punctuated for more than a decade.

That reminds me of another pr!ck. What happened to Mark Noclue on Fox Footy?

I think they found someone who could crack a smile and didn't look like they'd been eating wasps before coming on air

Noclure always sounds like his got hard lollies in his cheeks when he talks.

Noclure always sounds like his got hard lollies in his cheeks when he talks.

That explains why he always looks so uncomfortable no matter what seat he is using.

Now premiership favorite coach Truck Rutten is out for Covid and legendary messiah Caracella takes over in his 1st coaching role. Interesting to see if Bummers can pull this off under him even considering they're playing the Cows at the Dump.

The Kennett letter to members, classic buck passing.

Club on the skids. Board challenges coming.

Wines still in hospital after last night’s game with an irregular heartbeat.

Odd for a fit young bloke.
Hope he is ok.

 

[Letsroar]

Has there ever been a player who has a better run with the umpires than Shovekins.

Hayden Crozier the other week as well.

I have not watched one minute of this game tonight between the Salties and the Bears

Broncos v Roosters been a good contest.

NRL is my prefeerred option these days when Tigers are not involved.

Even though they are doing their best to ruin NRL as well , they havent ruined it as badly as the AFL has completely f#%$#&$## the footy.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Hayden Crozier the other week as well.

Yes it's a bit disconcerting.

Seriously, Essendon so bad. Miles off it and supporters melting down.

They are Richmond at the Danny Frawley stage. Think they are close but actually not even close.

Watched some of the Hawks v cats game from y/day.

I thought Connor McDonald, picked at Pick 26 from last year, was very, very good. Inside mid. First time I have seen him, pick 26 wow.

They picked Sam Butler at Pick 23 before McDonald. I remember reading on BF a few Hawthorn posters were surprised they didnt pick Sonsie with one of those 2 picks.

McDonald looked a very likely player. Contested player, speed and endurance.

I hope we get pure mids in the next draft we need them badly.
