might wander down and get myself a rescue hound from the shelter or a greyhound.

Can't wait!!

Good on you Cimm. My wife and I have been fostering greyhounds for the last 10 years for the Greyhound adoption program. They are an incredible breed. We adopted one last year after our Border Collie died. There also plenty of other breed specific rescue groups out there as well as the pound. Enjoy.

Robert Heatley Stand / Bryce Gibbs & Marc Murphy
When Judd came he was leading a very inexperienced mid field, which contained the likes of Murphy and Gibbs. Judd got smashed by the opposition with little support but being the superstar he was, he was able to impact on games irregardless. Now Murphy and Gibbs find themselves the two most targeted by opposition coaches yet they still mange to have an impact. Murphy is killing all comers in the JP medal. A commentator made the remark a while ago that he had emerged from Judds shadow and was now a true leader in his own right.

Dangerfield isn't the greatest set shot for goal.
 
Gibbs plays the game in a manner that could be viewed as indolent, where in fact he works his backside off. He has the ability to create play and reads the game as good as anyone. As for effort, who can forget Simmo's 250th where he spewed at the end of the game.
Both these guys played with injuries (and Cripps isn't 100%) in a team with 7 teenagers, on a ground most had never played on against a team in red hot form. Kreuzers absence should not be understated either.

Tend to agree....was a big fan pre-draft as he had/has X factor but he has been disappointing IMO even given his glandular fever....his running patterns are not great and vs GC he couldnt keep up with his man or didnt want to, not sure which...
He can look lazy too when chasing and I wonder about his endurance....was put in the middle for a short stint on Ablett but that didnt work out too well as Ablett was too mobile...the other factor in defense of Charlie is he is being tried everywhere but not really being settled in one position.
Not giving up on him for sure but he is one I have under the microscope...re: Tom Bell....probably gave us a lot more initially than Charlie has....

I think It's unfair to compare Charlie at this stage of his career with Kouta. Those who want to do so need to remember that Kouta racked up 50 games in the reserves in his first couple of years before earning a senior call up in a side that finished 8th and 10th in his first 2 years at the club. Charlie already has 12 senior games under his belt as a 20 year old key forward. Bell was drafted as a 20 year old rookie and is a different player to Charlie. Not a lot of X factor with Tom.

Charlie has often been compared to a young J Roughead who in his early years was maligned by Hawks supporters. I think as we aren't in a position to challenge, Bolts has the luxury at the moment to explore all options with the group. Weitering up forward or down back. Williamson and Samo in a number of roles. Curnow has elite endurance. Why not exploit it early in his career to accelerate his development. I'm backing him in.
