Intra-Club Clash

whilst disappointed (only got to watch the first) 1/4, i'm sure it was something else than worry for other clubs that had it taken down.

I'm sure there was opposition reps at the public intra.

They've been filming full reserves games for a few years now. Why do you think that's never been offered for public consumption?

For sure, other club spies would have been there but a video provides a permanent record available for everyone.

AFter the Mitch Johnson pre-Ashes exercise wouldn't surprise if AFL clubs play cute over the pre-season. What's the betting that we don't see Tippett, Goodes and Buddy all play together before round 1.

On the basis that most conspiracies are just incompetence, I am guessing there were questions on the quality and it was taken down

The full replay video is still missing from the site. I wonder if it's a permanent decision. Perhaps the coaches had a word to the media department and didn't want to provide opposition clubs convenient footage of our players and game plan.

I expect us to lose to Happy Acres next week, given they will play their A team and we will play rookies. Excited yo see how our young rucks go on mummy and would love to see how a midfield of Lloyd towers Harry B jack et al goes

Agree with most of AG's comments, except the one about Bird and Benny. I think Bird is a better kick and decision maker than Benny. Bird can also kick on both sides. It is difficult to compare them because Benny uses his quickness as his main weapon, while Bird tries getting to the right spots. Both are good defensive players. I think both have set themselves up for good years.

As AG has said, Swampy looks to be continuing in that defensive midfield role that he started with last season in the ressies. He's a great size for that role and the speed to go with it. We've learned from experience of what can happen when you start as a tagger, given the success of our 2 captains.

After watching the first 2 NAB Challenge games, I would say we are going about the same as Geelong and the Pies, who both looked a bit rusty with the skills. I know Hawthorn played an inexperienced Brisbane, but they looked very sharp. Nearly every player hit targets by foot with ease. They looked very well organised and continuing on from their GF win. They also had many regulars not playing as well.

I hope we give Lloyd and Robinson a go in the game next week, as both showed they are ready to continue on from good first years in the reserves.

And while we're at it, I like Dane Rampe's suggested nickname for Aliir Aliir: Chand.

We used to have a mummy. Now we're left with a nanny and two dads.

Who said Hawthorn is the family club?

[dimelb]

Is it too early? We have lost a Mummy, but I think we may just have replaced him with a Nanny (Nankervis).

Thoughts?

Good one Primmy - if I can't have Mummy I want my Nanny.

[magic.merkin]

iVe just been calling my fellow tasweigen "Knackers"

[Nico]

Yeah, pretty impressive after losing Mummo, White and Everitt. Not just rucks though. All our tall players seem either quality A-grade players or A-grade capable. The player with the biggest question mark would be T. Walsh - you just can't see him breaking into this forward line.

Rucks: Pyke, Derickx, Nanko, Naismith
Forwards: Goodes, Buddy, Tippett
Backs: Ted, Reg, AJ
Swingers: Reid, LRT
Up and coming: X, AA. T. Walsh?
Project player: P. Mitchell

Reid and LRT are Swingers!

[Primmy]

YOu are too literal Auntie.

Mummy Nanny. Geddit?huhhuh??

[Auntie.Gerald]

I think Nan is good but Sammy is better - just my opinion.......Nan got the easy role of playing a lot more in the forwards on Wed night and didnt have to run as much as Sam. Sam is just such a dominant figure in the ruck

BUT Nan is exciting
