Yeah, he is a freak athlete and one of the games top ten players. 6 in a row for Hawthorn so they have picked themselves up and in the 8 now. Probably shouldn't be posting this on a public forum
(can't help myself,
) but Sam Mitchell's aunt is a member of the Woodend bird observers group and my Dad knows her (also a member).
He is now a Hawthorn supporter because of this.
Very pleased with Richmond's progress even though our wins have come against super crap sides. A tough stretch ahead, we need to beat top eight sides that's the next challenge for the team. Cousins, Martin, Newman, Riewoldt, Deledio and Collins are stand outs atm for the tigers, I just love watching them play, especially Martin and Riewoldt. Nason has also showed plenty for us, great pick up so late in the draft. Angus Graham also showing something in the ruck.
Damien Hardwick is a fantastic coach, very down to earth, focused and passionate about the club after a very short time at the helm. He encourages toughness and hardness at the ball, taking the opposition on and direct play. He is the polar opposite to Terry Wallace. He has introduced a winning culture to the group and that is the most important factor that has led to the club's improvement this year. Also been fantastic with the young players along with Ben Cousins' influence (assistant playing coach IMO
)
