Just rewatched the last half of the GF, (talk about bored) just to watch this kid Hamling. Wasnt much to write home about in the half I watched. Two possessions, never played anywhere near Buddy and the only one on one I saw, Buddy was way too fast, marked and drilled it.
He did do one spoil, one uncontested mark, an accurate 30 m kick across to the fat side, thats all I saw.
VERY small sample size but I agree its funny how the post game sorta came out as he towelled up Buddy.
On Hill, my Dad and I always argue about who had the best Hill. My argument was that our Hill was an inside tough player who won his own ball and could play on the outside as well whereas Brad was an outside receiver only. Im happy we picked him up though as Premiership teams need at least one B Hill type.
Cam Mac kicked 35 goals or whatever in a team that plays the most scintilating fast forward attacking football in the AFL, (along with the Bullies and Hawks). To me that translates to less than 35 goals in a Roly Ball situation. Dockerlanders talking about 60 goals might be in for some disappointment. Hope not.
Im quietly excited for next year but then again I always am, just saying we might have to temper our expectations.
If we can pick up a star midfielder with pick 7, somehow jag it, I think that changes the whole equation. It will potentially allow Fyfe, who is already banged up with shoulders and legs, to go forward maybe not now but in a year or two when we are approaching our premiership window. Fyfe forward, if Bennell and Walters are fit and firing then our midfield and forward line becomes absolutely elite. Apparently we have so many mids we have to get rid of Barlow yet no one will consider sending Fyfe forward.
