Well that's odd you mentioned her name. Brooke Shields was a Hollywood actress perhaps best remembered in Blue Lagoon.
Liam Shields is a Hawthorn midfielder with, ummm 3 premiership medals if I'm not mistaken. But you wouldn't understand what they are.
Malcom Douglas was an outback adventurer.
Richard Douglas is..... nothin special.

Probably in the 6th to 10th region. Don’t think we are ready to push for the top 4 and it will be a log jam from probably 6th to 12th and think we will be in that mix somewhere

Won the trade period but would need to win another 3 or 4 in a row to be a flag chance. Still too many mediocre players and a weak midfield

With roughy and burgoyne a year older, i cant see them continuing to have the impact they have had either.

Liam Shields isn't the worst... he is better than a few of yours!


More on the wing though right? Smith and shield are good wingers but depth in the midfield I was more thinking


Dont know why i bother with you blokes that dont watch anyone but the Crows but Shiels is a tackling machine in the mids, one of our taggers if the situation calls for it, hes a three time premiership player, but thats alright you Crows fans keep beating it over all your premiership players.
Id rather have our mids than yours with Sloane in it whos output relies solely on the whim of the opposition coach.

How did your first six and last 6 go?

Sydney are your bitches

Defenders will need to be exceptional as I cannot see your forwards kicking big scores

I agree, especially when you win it. Everyone else are runners up.

For a fair chunk of last year we were in the best 2 teams.
The only question for me is how much of an impact losing Hodgey will have.
Gunston will play forward with Roughead, Breust, Rioli, Puopolo and Obrein/Sicily, the band wiill be back together.
Impey/Smith the outside runners
Defence will be sound enough, Stratton was a huge loss, Frawley, Birch, Hardwick and Burton very good
Midfield is our problem, but IF Jaeger plays 18 games we finish top 4 no doubt, probably need Langford or one of the rookies to have break out years


Only Brisbane, Fremantle, North and the Suns had a worse defence, even Carlton didn't leak like you did.

Frawley isn't just a spud by name, Hodge is gone and Birchall has just had another knee clean out. To make up for this short fall the likes of Roughy, Rioli and Gunston will have to have massive years and Breust will need to take the skirt off.
PAFC. Forever.

Maybe it's them not bothering with you because of statements like that?

There isn't a bloke in the football world who would want the Hawthorn midfield over Adelaide's.
