if you want an impact player in the middle, Watson has played about 5 seconds in there, and grabbed the ball in the puoring rain, exploded out of the middle and laced it 45m onto Breust's chest (he was so surprised he dropped it lol)
get in the queue, Cody, got a heap of great players itching to...
hope the kid goes well, but to be honest, if he's getting a game next year, Hawks aren't going so well.
his role is the one most stacked on the list, and they are all good pressure forwards.
Breust, Ginnivan, Macdonald, Moore, Watson, Butler, Hardwick, Maginness, etc are a pretty formidable...
I'll preface my reply here by saying that I genuinely thought Hawthorn would finish bottom two or three last year, so take this with a grain of salt.
Hawthorn had their best chance over the next decade to win a flag in 2024. Should have won a flag in 2024.

Gary Ablett's first game as a Hawks player was in the VFL reserves round one 1982 against St. Kilda down at Moorabbin. Had not even trained with the club before that day. Had 50-odd possessions, kicked 4 goals, and had the other 35...
here's one for ssssshhh
Golfing nut Andrew Brayshaw is coming home to Melbourne as a free agent. Whilst Carlton seem to have the front-running, it is a long long way from Princes Park to Black Rock, that is a 60 minute drive. Dingley is, at worst, 15 minutes.
Brayshaw clan, all members of...
Heeney, lol, no... zero impact in three grand finals. Loved his limp post game yesterday, like he'd been shot. No such limp after the preceding two finals. The ultimate poseur. Fraud. Pissed off I went into the game hoping the Swans would win, what a gutless bunch of w***ers they really are...
whilst every finals team can claim what if's, tbh if we had a fully fit Day and Frost, we would have been playing in a grand final against a team that we have had little trouble with recently. Whatever the result, the game would have been a whole lot better than watching those poseurs and...
Mackenzie and Ward ain't going anywhere at the ridiculous valuations put up here. Both were top 10 picks and should remain so.
the Port Adelaide loss underlined Frostie's importance to the side.
Geelong has the absolute whip hand here, and the Dogs know it.
Nobody else interested, Smith was headed to the Hawks six months ago, but their interest cooled mid-season when it became apparent that Barrass (a far more important player to the Hawks needs) would be available. Smith only ever had...
we are really really thin wrt key defensive stocks at the moment.
Frost, had a belter of a season, Hawks will want to retain him. Heart and soul player, vision of his devastation after last Friday's loss highlighted this.
DGB, finished, had plenty of chances to impress, but is a bust. Face it...
not sure Port will get flogged if they play the same this week. Credit where it is due, they were absolutely fantastic and negated all our strengths with quite amazing pressure. Having said that, it is a measure of how good the Hawks were playing at the back end of the season, given we lost by...
Perryman would not get a game at Hawthorn unless there were injuries. He's a bottom six player at best, and his two finals proved that. Perfect fit for Adelaide.
Phillips had a terrible, awful final. You don't pick a bloke for an AFL final on that form.
He may well end up ok, I thought his one game was decent.... caveat, I watched the replay last night and even when we got to 41 points up after the Mackenzie goal, that side looks and plays quite...
people calling for Phillips to be in the side clearly have not been following BHH. Go watch the replay of that disaster of a final two weeks ago, you can't pick a bloke who is, at this stage, struggling at VFL level. This obsession with height is laughable, our best defender is 188cms and has...
sounds like that GP should retire.
elite athletes prone to viral infections and re-infections, particularly when the body is ultra-stressed.
I've seen it in heaps of young athletes.
great choice, seemed the only choice to me. No way were they picking Phillips, he needs more time in the system.
if he does as well as Josh Ward, he will be great.
good luck Jai!!
yes, its easy now to see why the interest in Bailey Smith has waned over the past few months. Ward and Mackenzie have really developed beautifully over the latter half of this season, and both look to be future stars. Plus, I am still very bullish on HH, and you'd think that Macdonald, Weddle...
whilst Richmond obviously would take him in the PSD for free, nobody else other than Geelong wants him. His preferred destination 6 months ago said thanks but no thanks, so that leaves the Cats in a very strong position.
despite all the bluster, he will go for their first round pick, and nothing...
like Hodgey in 2008, Butters will get the required injections 35 minutes before the bounce, and won't feel anything until about 3am the next morning, when he will be in agony for about the next 12 hours.
whilst you wouldn't necessarily do it in the home and away season, it is pretty routine in...
he wants mid-field time, Sam would have been honest with him (I don't know that, but it is my assumption) and told him those options in the midfield are limited.
when Barrass became a yes, mid-year, it was clear the Hawks knew where they wanted to use their first pick.
HS Jon Ralph reporting what I heard several weeks ago, Hawks withdrew their interest in Smith mid-season and told his manager such.
No doubt Paddy Dangerfield will make some nonsensical post-game comment how Geelong was his club of choice, but I can guarantee you that, in this particular...
can't jab ribs? are you kidding me?
marcaine 35 minutes before the game will last the four quarters. Routinely done at multiple levels, including amateur footy.
intercostal injections are quite simple provided you know what you are doing.
four players had that exact jab before the 2008 GF, yet...
