Clarko had the boys playing similar unattractive safe football in 05 / 06 to stem the flow,
whilst giving the young guys exposure, similar to our game style, doesn't look that great
at present, but he will release the shackles at some point, when he feels we are ready.
You are bit silly mate. Our coaching staff have the runs on the board, we on the outside know very little about what they are planning and thus most is just speculation. They are recruiting players for a specific role in mind, changing game plans etc, also development in the Hawthorn system...
Sammy has been a great player for the HFC no doubt. An absolute champ.
Its not like he is being pushed out, he and the club are exploring options and he is looking at setting himself up for the next phase of his life after playing, that will be coaching and also whats best for him and his...
I have to say that I was concerned about Fremantle & Gold Coast ( What was I thinking? )
We are a formidable side, that is so versatile it is ridiculous 10-12 goal kickers over the last 4 weeks!!! ( Watch other clubs try emulate )
You have to give full credit to Clarko, the way he has rebuilt...
mmmmmm not sure about that, career was given a lifeline at the Hawks, premiership player, not blessed with speed in fact he is slow, but has footy great footy smarts that overshadow his lack of speed, is not an issue, especially in defence. A beautiful kick and rarely makes an error, never...
Re: Now onto the delistings
Id much rather keep Laddo, Bruce may be able to run all day, but his disposal is very average at best, doesnt suit our efficient game style.
Laddo gives his all, good skills, I hope he gets a go at GWS if he is delisted, good depth player for us if he stays, Bruce...
Agree! 2 years with no luck on the injury front / interuppted preseasons to many players is not the coaches fault. Clarko is an innovater - look at 08, he took a while to change game plans in 2010 but he did with good results. The guy is still learning the coaching trade, he is clever enough to...
it may not be great but its still good, not many will kick 6.0 a game its certainly better than 2.4, he Roughy seems to have more confidence in his
kicking / follow thru this year, so thats a good sign
Re: List Changes Speculation
2 Knee recos will do that, he has come thru this year unscathed, confidence is growing, just needs to settle into 1 position, has been pretty good when he has played a good preseason and I rekon he will have a break out year 2011
Dont quite agree, Laddo has had a couple of average years injury 09 and dealing with his ol mans passing 10, everyone deals wth these things differently. Was pick 18 from memory, great skills and a premiership player who is sill only 26yo, so I think he still has some currency left if a trade...
From what I understand GC can only prelist players that have been on an AFL list in the past ( i.e. Andrew Krakouer ) Not 100% sure but i think thats the case
I think we should all be a bit patient, lets look at Geelong and St Kilda, earlier this decade they supposedly had the best list's. It took them both 4-5 years to really get the ball rolling. I think we should be patient, after all we won a flag 2 years ago, So we obviously have the nucleous of...
I think its great that the Hawks cover all bases as far as the community is concerned. These guys have made a mistake in life as we all do ( in varying degrees of course ) and are paying the price, the club provides a good experience to these guys and no doubt would lift the morale.
The club...
Hes had a huge hand in delivering our 10th Flag, turned our list around to be the envy of all clubs, gets the job done in excellent fashion, who gives a croc if other clubs / supporters dont like him? We should be kissing his behind!!! We got plenty to look forward to over the next few years...
Jeff is a pollie, he didnt say no premiership player would be traded he said, it was his desire that no premiership player would be traded. There is difference, so effectively it was a clever use of words.
Re: Official: Burgoyne a Hawk
Its seems to have worked out ok for the Hawks, our window is open for the next 5 years, Willo has been a great servant of the club, who now is a premiership player, he will never be as good as he was over the last 4-5 years. Good luck mate, even though its...
Renouf & Tails will get better, these big boys take a while to mature some dont hit their peak until they are 24-26yo, unless they are a freak, patience fellow hawkers
Dreaming!, Browny would be on the list of untouchables, heart and soul of our club, we wouldnt want him to leave and he doesnt want to leave. That wont be happening!!!
He cant get a game because of a guy we let go ( Zac )
we are in desperate need of a KPD, dont why we ever let him go. His skills and decision making were good enough, just needed to bulk up a bit now we are looking at $250-$350 for KPD, I think the guys are doing a great job with the list, but I...
Pelican / Clarko are concerned with the welfare of the Hawthorn Football Club, Its his job to extract as much value from every deal that the club is involved in, its seems to be working well so far. Remember the Bulldogs joined the VFL / AFL in 1925 along with North ( Dogs 1 Flag / Roos 4 Flags...
