And then there’s the ongoing thread about the bummers, which is even more excruciating…

I'm stoked about Hazza Mozza sticking around. At the very, very least, he is excellent depth.

I was just thinking exactly that.

B and B will not be ‘old news’ until the paperwork gets put through and they pull on B&G guernseys…

Be the bigger person Saints. Saints: 'yeah nah.'

What do we call this now, the 'Swanniwobbles', or simply 'The Swobbles'?

We would have averaged 100 or so for the second half of this season I reckon.

Yeah I’m absolutely broken up about that…

Missing footy season....

Is that even without Barrass and Battle officially in our colours? Edit: just checked, it’s true. A smidgeon surprised at that.

I repeat, I'm talking about Hawthorn standards. And yes, I'm aware there were reasons for a lack of premiership success, as there always is.

I feel like we're in the best imaginable hands. I've had this stigma/voice at the back of my head whispering that the successful coaches we've had since Parkin have all been non-Hawthorn greats and the unsuccessful ones have all been former Hawk greats... Jeans - non-Hawk great, massive success...

Yep, as I said earlier, I distinctly remember very similar kneejerk objections to Burger, Goo, Lake, Hale, Gibbo, Big Boy…………

A lot of fans and BF posters don't object to this sort of thing based on any kind of fact or reasoned thinking, they simply mindlessly kneejerk object to any name that gets thrown up, just coz....

Once again I find myself stoked out of my mind that BF posters are not Hawthorn recruiters or list managers. People talking themselves in circles trying to talk themselves out of grabbing Barrass have NO idea. If a player of his calibre and profile drops into your lap, you fall all over...

Selection headaches galore. Good to have. Inevitably there will be injuries, and I feel we're building really good depth. Everywhere except maybe in the tall forward department....

I really do wonder if we're going to seriously hunt a key forward this trade period. Our KPF position is not terrible, but not great. Dear is going to be a star, we can be reasonably assured of that. Lewis could be a star but is monumentally injury prone, and may not be back 'til mid-season...

He’s outpolled Bont! Will win one one day, he obviously catches the umps’ eyes….

Na coz we don’t offer farms and stuff…

I doubt he’d be entertaining too much in the way of coulda shoulda woulda’s….

I understand, and agree with, the notion that Sic, as a floating interceptor, is unquestionably one of the elite defenders in the league. But I have to say that, with Barrass and Battle (hopefully) coming in, I'm completely tantalised by the idea of him going forward. He did that multiple...

Oh man, the pussy tears are sweeter than sweet tonight....

Karma for Kenny tonight…

Don't start throwing names out there, it triggers the mindless kneejerk auto-responses from the nuffs. I actually don't think we are short in the midfield, especially if Weds moves in there like I think he could and should now we (hopefully) get Barrass and Battle. A midfield of Nuke, Day...

I’ll probably be laughed at, shouted down and have my post deleted again, but I’m still waiting til it’s official.

Good signs.

Publicly?

I believe that if a deal can be struck (if a deal in principle hasn't already been struck), the Hawks brains trust will strike it, Barrass will come to Hawthorn, we'll get 4-6 excellent years out of him, he'll be a very strong contributor and he'll probably win a flag or two with us. And this...

I'm wondering if things with Frosty at the HFC hinge on us getting both Barrass and Battle...

If he gets a better deal elsewhere and wants to go, we sure AF ain't forcing him to stay. Just as the weagles aren't forcing Barrass to stay. Contracts mean nothing in this sense.
