what percentage game time did he play in the 1st two games?
- 63
- 75
- 47
His output roughly correlated with his time on ground.

Have we been spoiled by Parish and Heppell given how good theyâve looked since week one when this guyâs a higher pick than both.
Really? I mean, their own club rated them #1 and #2 last year. They also lost Hill. And Hodge and Burgoyne are both a year older. I just canât see how their midfield isnât weaker than previous. Especially when you consider they won something like 6 games by less than a goal. There is no way T. Mitchell and OâMeara can match the cool heads of S. Mitchell and Lewis in a tight game (IMO).

Theyâre not that far off the waning duo. Theyâll overtake them end of next year, if not earlier, imo.
No question that theyâll over-take them. Even maybe this year depending on decline. The question is if they can be as good as they were last year. Because if they canât, if one or both of Hodge & Burgoyne decline, if they canât replace Hill, then that team goes backwards in the middle. And if overall theyâre one goal a game worse - then theyâre on the brink of missing the eight given how many wins last year were less than a goal.
Well, thatâs the bet, isnât it?
I think, despite how much Iâd rather they fail, they have made very good choices for replacements.

I donât necessarily disagree they did as well as they could with replacing them. I just donât think theyâll be as good this year. And OâMeara is one injury away from not being as good ever.
Only saw the replay last night and i thought he was alright. Only got beaten in 1 contest i could see and as usual made good decisions and had quick hands.

I donât think so. I think weâre just getting greedy.
I said before the JLT there was no guarantee heâd play Round 1, and that that was alright. On the back of the JLT Iâd be comfortable with him getting a game, although I do think Dea and McKenna could consider themselves unlucky. Partially that they werenât even given a second JLT match each, despite both playing well at the back end of last year, and decently in their respective JLT matches.
Imo, theyâll barely make finals.
T Mitchell will see how figjammed & fcked up the joint is,then turn on them and be a dud until he gets out⌠and OâMeara will have ongoing knee issues, & hardly play a game, and the Hawks will be screwed for a decade or more âŚ
Chant it with me âŚ

Iâm all for some SMitchell and JLewis bashing⌠but I think it is wrong to suggest that have been replaced/upgraded yetâŚ
TMitchell is a very good player (VERY) but we are yet to see if he can play the #1 extractor role week in and week out. At this stage SMitchell has him covered by a mile.
Remember how we were all hopefully that Zaka was going to step up and be elite last year with his moment to shine? I am fully aware that TMitchell is a better player than Zaka but I also think he was just one cog in an awesome machine in Sydney and letâs wait until he reproduces that as the main man before we claim is better than a multiple B+F winner, former Captain and Brownlow***** Medallist.
I think JOM has the potential to be elite and I really really really wanted him to pick EFC but again, to suggest he is already ahead of Lewis seems a little off. Lewis was a cool customer that could play inside and out. Genuine match winner that was capable of turning an entire game on its head regularly when required. JOM hasnât even managed to string 3 games together in two years⌠and there is no proof he can play an inside role if required. Smooth operator who I think will be a star but right now doesnât have the runs on the board.
So I may be in the minority but I would much prefer to face TMitchell/JOM/Shiels/Vickery than SMitchell/Lewis/Hodge/McEvoy
