We were an infinitely better team when Hadley was on the park. When he was there, that's when our midfield looked unstoppable. Simply put, we beat Geelong with him playing, but suffered our worst losses (Collingwood, Essendon* and Adelaide) when he wasn't there. And now with Brock in there too, expect our outside mids to run rampant.
couldn't agree more.
am a big fan of hadley. in several games last year - early on and then just before he broke his arm - he was the only player who was committed to putting his head over the ball and also dishing out a bit of protection for judd and the smaller guys, when smart alecs from the opposition were starting to throw their weight around unnecessarily.
go hads!
