You would think though Hotdog, but then again, having a morose and unwilling captain must have really dragged the enthusiasm down across the whole group. They all just look like a huge heavy weight has been lifted off their shoulders. Maybe it's actually better that Griffynne isn't there full stop. Looking at games over the last few years, I don't think I ever saw him smiling. He was playing good serious committed footy, but seemed to be doing it joylessly.Quote:

Honeychurch Wallis and Jong are all tougher than Higgins, which is significant. Higgins will continue to struggle against stronger opposition, even though he is talented as you have suggested.Quote:

Yep, starred in the preseason without the physical pressure. Terrific skills but doesn't have the physicality or two-way runningQuote:

Another Brian fade by Lake:
Lake in court for driving while suspended
HAWTHORN'S Brian Lake will appear in the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Friday for the offence of driving while suspended.
Hawthorn said in statement that Lake had notified the club at the time of the offence and explained he was unaware that he had exceeded his demerit point limit.
Great trip to training from Caroline Springs to Waverley. :DQuote:

I think that Hawthorn might organise another means of transport for him. Helicopter, rocket ship or something along those lines. ;)Quote:
