I have had the rare privilege of seeng them all. 1. Hudson 2. Knights 3. Cyril.

I've heard similar stories. It makes a mockery of some people who think this whole thing boils down to a Jeff Kennett dad joke. And then use every opportunity to vilify Kennett.

Essendon effectively delisted a rookie called Massimo . Greatest call of all time

I think the umpiring model ls completely wrong. The most professional football games in the world.(Soccer and NFL) have older umpire who are not required to be marathon runners. This enables a much bigger pool of people to draw from. Look at average age umpires/refs in those leagues and...

We moved that the full length of MCG wirh only 1 kick ..Nash

Yep $1 for them $1000 for us Altruism at its finest. The words ABL and altruism are rarely heard together

Hahaha you are right about one thing ABL are the exact opposite of ambulance chasers. They are smarter than that. They are government chasers. One big reason firms like ABL do pro bono work is to 'qualify' for the highly profitable government (taxpayer funded work). Don't kid yourself and others...

Many terrific points have been made about individual players on this forum. But the most significant work done to enable this revival is that of Sam Mitchell. He is a genius. But he is a genius who backs it up with hard work and commitment. Make no mistake his coaching Is the reason this team...

I have been watching the hawks for many years. I have never seen a hawthorn team transform itself so quickly and completely as this. It is a tribute to Sam Mitchell his staff and the recruiters. Thanks to them we are so close to being in it this year. Nic Watson and Ginnivan were inspired...

What is totally unacceptable is that Caroline Wilson just admitted that in relation to Chris Fagan the only allegation she is aware of is that in a player meeting Fagan allegedly nodded his head apparently at something Clarkeson said ( which Clarkeson denies saying). So when was Caroline...

In that case please tell us what it is that we have to do

Sometimes very good or even great players get beaten. Against Melbourne on clearance plays Viney sat behind Duke and effectively pushed him under or through the ball all game. Duke will work his way through it, and be all the better for it. BTW Melbourne used similar tactics all over the field...

Agree completely The plan was to build a competitive group from the bottom up. Sam is learning. Players are learning. Mistakes have and will continue to be made. I am very confident Sam and the club will get this back on track.. We must be patient.

Part of the club's strategy is to build up the list with sufficient depth that can then also be used to trade in for needed players

Anyone who doubts Nash's importance to the midfield group should listen to last year's interview with Will Day on Hawks Insiders where he emphasised the vital importance of Nash to the midfield. From memory , I believe he said he was the person who loved having in the midfield.

On slightly different vien. Kennedy's Commandos

Clarry

You have the monumentally flawed position,or a giant deflection. You claim, by assertion with no proof, Kennett was a dictator because other directors agree to resign if asked to. Oh dear how dare you Jeff. But you cannot point to a single occasion occasion where Kennett acted on this so...

If we can bring the ball out of the centre or backline with speed and elite kicking (Sis Amon etc) the small forward line can work.

I didn't miss your point(s) And you just regurgitated them. In summary Kennett was a dictator. I have nothing to prove he acted like one. I and others don't like Kennett. I just do not understand why you and others want to keep attacking people who have done so much for the club over such a...

Who is naive? Last time I looked all president positions are 'heavily engineered', including the current. That is the way things work. Good luck to Andy Gowers. I hope he succeeds massively. But please don't just make stuff up to denigrate both Kennett and the Hawthorn board as "irresponsible...

Glad you agree

You are so wrong and one sided. Clearly you don't like Kennett. But at least get your facts right Kennett did not insist that he come back his president. The club pleaded for him to return as president because Newbold had gone and Richard Garvey had completely stuffed up the CEO appointment...

Club are not happy with the condition Chol arrived in.

...easily Just maybe the player is wrong

Yep you are right It's Jeff Kennett's fault that he won't be presented with his Life membership.

The club had decided he should be awarded life membership Why "wait a bit till this legal stuff is sorted " A terrible way for the family club to treat its family.

Who will ever know what is the geographically most convenient? Ask the club im sure they don't know either. All I'm saying is that I'm sure this is not the reason for moving the AGM to Waverley where access is difficult for all.

Refusing to present JK with his Life membership is a terrible decision. It reeks of petty vindictiveness,and is certainly devisive. Whatever your political opinion on Jeff, he certainly had the best of the club at heart and often put himself in the firing line when tough decisions need to be...

Watson trained at Hawthorn . We would know more about him than any other likely first round pick. So whatever we do with him it will be as fully informed.
