Are you sure he said that? He's a massive dud and I want you to be right so someone can tweet him his hypocrisy and likely just get blocked... But my attempt at verifying only turned up the opposite

Dennis Cometti during a big win against Carlton in 2007: "Hodge... just sets the tone... When it comes to hard nuts he's up there with macadamias and Courtney Love."

Thanks for your response, and fair enough too. You're very right about the 3 goal margin ceiling for some reason. The two notable games are: -2014, Bud's first game against the hawks, where he kicked terribly for three quarters then won the game in the last. Score 107-88 -2016, a flat affair...

If you've made the decision that (1) whatever you're paying for is worth either, (2) the possibility of giving up either is real, and (3) you definitely have $0 at the end of it all... Then the answer is neither. More accurately, the question is fallacious. St Kilda can ask "What is better -...

What I'm saying is that this kind of thinking is probably just a fallacy though. The outcome matters a lot to St Kilda, but to us its just an empty hand in the first round of the draft. High pick? Low pick? We have to embrace the reality that it doesn't matter. "Take the sting" though it may...

Hello swans fans. Hope its ok to visit. Kudos and condolences. Was a treat to see Buddy in flight. I come humbly with a question for some of you after perusing this autopsy thread: Why the thought among some here that "Horse has been outmatched by Clarko consistently since 2013"? That he...

All the hoo-ha about where we finish at the end of the year is grossly misplaced. I'm seeing it again this weekend, with posters hoping we finish above St Kilda. When you actually have pick number 1 or pick number 18 in your hand, you can meaningfully talk about whether a player is "worth it"...

We stuck our chode in the comp til she came three times. This is us having a f*cking cigarette.

Is it just me or has O'Meara been turning it over a lot? Love the guy and can't wait to see what he does as he builds a career with us, but his disposal sometimes seems very pedestrian these two games.

Josh Kennedy? Jack Gunston?

It looks like things have changed. You're right that the six in 2008 was very low, but the numbers are unprecedented now. Here are the numbers of players being traded each year back to 1998 (which is as far back as it is easy to find on wikipedia). Note that when it comes to free agents I'm only...

I've been looking at previous trade periods and drafts and am growing yet more confident that Hawthorn is miles ahead of everyone in their approach. Here's why: 1. Smart money knows that the draft is a lottery Top picks often come good, but plenty don't. Likewise, we've seen all manner of...

Hmmm, didn't they already have 4 and 8?

Yep. I of course mean overrated by apparently most people except of course our brave and fearless Clarko and Wright.

Lord, even pick 22. Here is a list: 2000: Richard Hadley 2001: Mark Seaby 2002: Matthew Ferguson 2003: Cameron Thurley 2004: Jesse Wells 2005: Beau Muston (lol) 2006: Albert Proud 2007: Scott Selwood 2008: Jackson Trengove 2009: Gerrick Weedon 2010: Mitch Wallis 2011: Josh Bootsma (lol) 2012...

This is such a good point. My first thought when landing O'Meara was sweet relief regarding the trade period. My second thought was that it would have been a very good trade period if we had extracted a bit more value for Sam and Jordan. My third thought is - would pick 44 be any less bloody...

You're correct - our successful club takes unders to treat its champs right. Your right to whinge about our trade period disappears in light of this notion.

Good lord thats over the top

I keep seeing this suggestion. Does anyone know if it is legal? Is it draft tampering?

I don't love pick 88 any more than anyone else. But if you were a good young footballer looking for a club, who would you rather play for? A club that cops pick 88 on the chin to get you where you want to go, a la Hawthorn, or a club that talks tough and threatens to sit kids out a whole year...

http://www.hawthornfc.com.au/video/2016-10-14/sam-mitchell-highlights-307-games 3:03 ish.... Right hand to left foot. Wtf are you doing and how are you this good at football.

Lakey was in the 70s so maybe all is not lost :drunk:

What a remarkable week. Best and fairest yet again at almost 34, and then gone in the blink of an eye. I will miss Sam profoundly. That side-step, those skills by hand and foot. Please share your favourite memories and highlights of our champion so we can all reminisce.

I don't know much about this but what you are saying seems quite logical. What is the AFL's reasoning behind the 90% of the cap rule? Is it just the result of AFLPA advocacy? It seems to fly in the face of equalisation that a team of spuds is hindered in their effort to recruit big-dollar...

Why in God's name are you rubbishing Hodge? Tantrums about Sam but you seem to think our other champ is a piece of $hit. You are the worst. Have a lie down mate.

The loss of our best player would still be real. Isn't it crazy to be saying that about a bloke who turned 34 today.

The bloke kicked 11 goals in the 2013 finals and was second behind Lake in the Norm. Good grief. Potting all sorts of players, the coaches, the club... In what sense are you actually a Hawthorn supporter? Do you like anything about them? Seriously. Just stop. Please.

I feel the same way, but if Sam himself doesn't then we should probably calm down. He's the one who has pulled the jumper on for 15 years. If he is happy enough to go then its likely that sentiment plays less role for some of these blokes than we might have thought.

How is he going to go? Big step up from the shadow of Parker, Hannebery and Kennedy.

The way Sam talks about getting a good outcome for the club even in departure... Just when you think you've used all the superlatives you can to describe this player we have loved... This is dead-set Batman type stuff. We don't even deserve him, but he's the hero we need right now...
