it is interesting to see Dean Galea in the VFL side. I don't doubt his talent but unless someone inserted a brain he is useless once rattled, which isn't hard

I presume they will need to find a replacement for Valenti - he's been elevated off Melbourne's rookie list to play for them this week!

So they've got Kenna, and we have Callinan... 3 years ago it was the other way around...
Does kind of show the whole thing as a bit of a farce really...

Is that Brett Johnson ex Hawthorn and Carlton?
If so I thought he was a little underrated in his AFL days.
James Byrne will be getting plenty of heat from yours truly- worst skipper ever!

And he will respond by waving his last fat PAMFC pay cheque he is still trying to cash after it bounced!

As a Hawks fan, I was more than happy he left the club. Always believed that his thought process was a bit slow, caught holding the ball, rushed into poor disposal ect
