Well said re Scrima for Hawthorn. I’m glad someone else has noticed how solid he is in defence. He will just keep improving with age and experience. Very underrated.

Your club's underrated performer: Round 3

Well said, I completely agree.

The backlash to Gibbs' send-off is laughable

Shoulda gone to Hawk-savers.

GWS drop skipper for Demons clash

I know, but facing them in form and in the finals will be a very different challenge and as Mr Right says below the Hawks (my team) beat Brisbane and Richmond earlier this season and looks where they are now.

Why the Giants are the AFL's most dangerous team

Good article. No doubt about it, when the Giants are on they are really on. When all their big guns are firing to their potential they can stand up to anyone and vary their style to suit. I guess the challenge is consistency and avoiding complacency in the last few games. I think they’ll need to stand up to a few significant challenges in the run to a possible finals berth, but they probably have a few teams in their last four games who can offer them that. In the finals I think they face bigger challenges against teams like Geelong and Richmond who seem to have the power to shut them down.

Agreed, but I was replying about O’Meara. Maybe he is a little more reliable?

Clarko, it's time to go

To be fair, he has had a couple of games that showed his brilliance this year. Just a little inconsistent.

This year there seems to be a new premiership favourite almost every week. So far I think we’ve had Port, Brisbane and Richmond. Someone might also have said St Kilda at some stage. There’s still some water to flow under the home and away bridge and the finals are still a different ball game; even this year.

It's time to recognise the Cats as premiership favourites
