couldn't find anyone to trade Broughton to; dropped him to the bench for Smith and Toy. Broughton to be loose man in defence, ton up.

 

[Jono]

I'm giving Broughton another week. With Suban's injury he could receive more ball.

Will see how it goes.

 

[Spikey]

jason gram was gonna be the one if any. phew.

 

[Jono]

FFS St Kilda.

Look absolutely pathetic.

 

[Spikey]

broc mccauley what a star.

probably gonna stay up to watch this despite knowing it'll be a shocking, boring match.

 

[Jono]

Should have gotten Adcock in DT. Dang.

 

[Jono]

Lol Saints.

**** coaching, **** strategy. Just ****.

 

[Spikey]

Oh man if you didn't have him before then yeah you've ****ed up not getting him for broughton. I had a bit of doubt about him, you know having to play in such a ****ing **** team and all, and his first round had me worried. but man since then. bit worried about drummond coming back and wrecking his score though

although drummond will only last a game before doing a quad anyway so.

 

[Jono]

That's the reason I didn't get him. Worried about Drummond. Adcock's an awesome kick, but Drummond's even better. He'll definitely hurt his score.

I also don't believe in sideways trades in Dream Team. Either upgrade to premium or downgrade to rookie. No middle ****.

Lol @ Drummond's quad though. Must be made of paper.

 

[Spikey]

if broughton keeps this up he might have to be considered a dud

 

[Jono]

There was no point the Saints selecting Kosi. Would have been better off playing a plank of wood.

 

[Jono]

Come on Saints you ****ing pricks.

Put some dough on you bitches to make the 8 @ $2.50. Don't ruin my bet already!

 

[Spikey]

think they've won it

 

[vic_orthdox]

Adcock has hurt me in the past, gets injured a bit too often.

wtf, 'a' and 'd' are nowhere near 'c' on the keyboard. Weird typo.

Why you so convinced the Hawks will get up?

In terms blithering idiots might understand.

Meanwhile, I'm mildly screwed DT wise this week; missing Cox, Goodes, Grimes & Darling from my starting line up. The returning Riewoldt (N) delivered a below par 80 too.

Most people will be in the same boat though, everyone will have Cox, Grimes and Darling will be pretty popular as well. I'm missing Cox, Grimes, Sylvia & Tapscott this week. Still hopefull of a decent score, started well with Adcock & Fisher serving me well

Hawthorn always shape up against Geelong (fierce rivalry stemming from the 1989 grand final*) irrespective of their place on the ladder. They match up so well against them, and if there's been one single way to beat Geelong over the past 4 or so years, it's been by pressuring them over the whole ground and watching their handball game break down due to pressure (perceived and actual).

I don't know if you're familiar with basketball, but if you are, it's akin to a full court press. Every possession has pressure on it and it becomes hard to execute under pressure. Collingwood are the best at this, and Hawthorn are the second best. The hard part is keeping it up over the full 4 quarters, but given Hawthorn's form I reckon they're capable of it.










*Greatest game of football I've ever witnessed. Shading that match between Essendon & NM
