1 Crimmins - has to be number 1 at Hawthorn, the impact he left on the club is still felt there.
2 John Kennedy Snr - there's a statue of him at Waverley for a reason.
3 Mathews/Tuck/Hudson - hard to split
Hawks paid a lot to get the SB deal done. Hope he lives up to the expectations here.
I was depressed going into trade week with the announcement of Robbie Campbell's retirement. I feel worse now.
Re: Burgoyne deal done
I'm going to really resent SB next year I think. Loosing not only our first draft pick but Mark Williams who has been great at Hawthorn. I hope he has a good year next year so I can overcome my bitterness for this deal.
Re: Either way this Burgoyne trade will cost us a premiership.
I tend to agree with you CaptHodgey. I don't think some appreciate what a loss Robbie Campbell is and we have wasted far too much time on the SB trade. On a player we don't even need!
I think you underestimate how much Robbie Campbell contributed in our premiership year.
A very much underrated ruckman and I worry about next year now.
We don't need star ruckmen. But it looks a bit shaky to me right now.
Who knows maybe Renouf will have a great pre season and put on some...
Re: I ****ing hate trade week!!!!!!
I hate trade week too!
I don't care about getting SB. If we pay pick 9 AND Mark Williams, that's just too much!
I'm annoyed we haven't been linked to getting any ruckmen. Seem to be concentrating all our efforts on the SB deal. Robbie Campbell is going...
My favorite part of the medal presentation at last years GF was when Robbie Campbell got a hug from that little girl, it was so sweet!
Gonna miss the big Bob!
Re: Peter Crimmins Medal - Now
OMG! I'm so sad for Robbie. The most underrated ruckman in the league. One of my favorite players. On one side I'm glad he made the decision for his future mobility but I'm going to miss him. :(
I love the whole 3 generations at Hawthorn thing. I'm sentimental.
I picked 2 years, would of been more but 2 seems to be the go unless you're a gun player like Hodge.
Would be a very sad day at Hawthorn to see him go. But if he sees more opportunities for himself at another club I guess...
Nope, dunno. Maybe the mod was disappointed in it and didn't read my post properly.
Anyway I still say while channel 10 need a new commentary team they were really generous with after game footage. Not like scummy channel 7 who has to get as many ads in as they possibly can.
I used to love getting to a game early and watching the reserves play.
But I have no problem with the Hawthorn/Box Hill alliance since I barracked for Box Hill in the VFA.
Hmmm, actually, I liked the comments on each player. What's wrong with that? Wasn't like they were doing a speech. Was disappointed with the gf dvd last year that tripple m commentary didn't go that far, they did the same.
They are also doing ongoing stuff on Ten-HD, geez would of loved that last year.
All we got last year in the way of aftermath stuff was what channel 7 showed us between ads, minus the footy song and The Sunday Footy Show, on channel 9 mind you. That was it.
Agree commentary wasn't great, if...
I'm jealous of the coverage of the GF this year.
Channel 7 last year went to ads during much of the aftermath of the GF. Also they didn't comment on different players as they were presented like channel 10 are doing.
Very pleased as well, especially about Ladson with his name being thrown around. Couldn't believe some people willing to part with 9 AND Ladson! He is so underrated. By the look of this forum even by Hawk supporters...:confused:
Though I hate this forum right now. People willing to throw...
Wasn't actually supporters I was talking about when I made my comment. Mark Thompson is so arrogant. Won't forget the time he said if Geelong played Hawthorn 10 times Geelong would beat them 9 out of the 10, unfortunately that 1 was the GF. So Arrogant!
Didn't really mind Geelong till last year. Pretty ungracious in defeat. Didn't give the Hawks any credit.
But anyway I'm with the poster who said don't really care who wins out of Geelong and Collingwood as long as they loose the GF.
My most hated teams are still Essendon and Carlton.
Sorry about that, but there is no way, NO WAY I could cheer for Essendon. Go Crows! I want Essendon to be so smashed out of the park they'll wonder if last week was worth it.
Can't believe everyone wanting to get rid of Tuck. Give the boy a go! He's a TUCK!
Ha! Same thing was going on last year to get rid of Josh Kennedy. :(
We would of struggled to get a full team out there next week anyway.
Oh well, hopefully the boys will have good pre-seasons. And be raring to go next year.
Lot of disappointments this year. Made worse because expectations were high. (I think).
Bring on next year I say!
Go Hawks!
Re: Hawthorn fans - hypocrites
It did look way worse than Buddy's to my biased eyes, but it doesn't matter anyway. He made head contact, he will be gone at least 2 weeks. That's where the AFL stood with Buddy's case.
