Love how he just shoves blokes around, not much animosity there, just a bit of F off this is my turf.
Shouldâve had 7-8 today.
You get 100% effort from him every week unlike some others. He was having a very bad day at the office to start but just kept on persevering.

Reckon every interview he gives they ask him about the wine. Has anyone had a crack at it?

Nice to have another big forward who gets involved in the score when Joe doesnât.

First part was right, he wonât reach the same levels as a forward as he did as a defender, but that probably says more about how good he was as a defender than it does as a forward.
Up to 32 goals, hopefully he can get to 50. Pretty â â â â â â â good if you ask me

Yes. We bought a couple of cases of the Shiraz last year.
Lovely wine.

How many of our last 10 seasonâs would 32 goals have won our leading goal kicker? As you say, doing pretty good.
The title of this thread could not have been more apt today

Lots of teams would love a ânon-forwardâ like Hooker kicking a bag and winning a game for his team.

Head down, run as fast as he can at the man on the mark, kick the hell out of the ball at his head and hope he ducks⌠sometimes it even works.

Hears a few comments on how we canât get away with him being so quite and then switching it on in a game like that.
Playing forward is a tough gig. They donât always have to kick a bag and the best thing about us now is that you never know who will pop up.
But Iâll take him having a poor game but standing up when it matters and almost single handidly draging us over the line with burst impact any day of the week.
If it were JD people would be frothing. But Hooksey ainât fashionable, his great attitude and constant effort are immeasurable.

And that young fella playing on him (or maybe some of his Norf team mates) must have been a bit too chirpy.
You donât see him reacting like that normally. I mean he loves a goal (which I enjoy seeing) but itâs usually reflected in positive celebration. This was different. That bit where he slapped him had me in stitches. And it lead to an easy shot from a 50M.
I like it a lot.

I agree whole heartedly, but the team needs him up forward this year, I have feeling heâll move back next year.
But I reckon heâs a great old fashioned full forward, making leads out of the box and staying inside 50âŚ
Get him up on the wings like Stewart and he struggles a bit, just doesnât have the kick forwardâŚ

On the Sunday Footy Show later, apparently North were upset that he was giving Neilson a bit of stick after each goal
