Hey guys, I hope you don’t mind the intrusion. I lurk to read the training reports (which are awesome) and just wanted to offer my 2c as a Physio about Plantar Fasciitis - especially for those dealing it atm. The best way to think of it is an overload of the heel tissue. However, the...

Anyone care to list the top 5 KPF in this draft and our chances of being able to choose them at pick 33?

I always find it difficult with NGAs and the like where you hope we get them for nothing, but at the same time that would require no one to bid on them - which often gives the sense they aren’t rated highly.

Looks like a great kid. Says 187cm in the article, but he looks smaller than that. If he’s 187cm with that speed and balance he looks a great prospect!

What a sh*t comment. Show some respect mate. He has been a great servant of the club in his short time, and it must be difficult for him and his family - as it would be for many young men in his position. The last thing they’d need is some internet d**khead sinking the boots in unnecessarily…

The AFLW Hawks have done some heavy lifting for my nieces. They go to every home game down in Frankston and love it.

I love the idea that Sam and the team got together and said let’s back ourselves in to finish above Carlton. Will be a fun side story to the main event!

Came to comment on that. You never like to see anyone get injured at all, and I hope the West Coast Eagles player is okay. But on the other hand as the aggressor and someone who appeared to keep going at Kemp, it was good to see her stand-up for herself. The end result was unfortunate, but I’ll...

As much loved as Frost is, you’d have to consider letting him go first just and committing to seeing where Serong can get to. As good as Frost has been I think most would agree Serong could match and possibly surpass him in his own way if given a clear run at it. We’d also likely get more in a...

Such a shame. Port the best team in the first half, Hawks best in the second and it feels we lost it more so than Port won. Chol hopefully learns a tonne from the last few games, but hopefully Lewis/Sicily can replace him. Not a fan of Ken saying Ginni took a swipe at them when it wasn’t...

How good!!

I’m surprised to see how well Serong has done at VFL level this year. Pleasantly surprised. Is there a world where Battle, Barrass and Serong come in to the side next year? Scrimshaw and Weddle can play further up the field. Siciliy can go forward. Dear, Frost, Gunston drop out. The squad...

What’s super pleasing for me is that without those brain fades against Port and GWS - which we should realistically win if we had our time again, we’d be outright 2nd. It obviously doesn’t work that way but gee that’s fantastic as a supporter for a team that was 0-5. I’m tentatively optimistic...

The kind of player we should be trying to trade in… is a Mitch Lewis-type. Proven goal kicker, leadership qualities, yet to reach the peak of his powers, #1 KF allowing Chol to play Fwd/Ruck, and Dear to develop. Could win a game off his own boot. He’s the kind of trade target where you would...

I’m interested on how you do this mate. I picture you with a novelty-sized calendar up on a wall with the start of trade period circled and one of those tearable pads beside it with “96 days to go”?

But the general context is that someone is passing on information they’ve heard - which should always carry with it the caveat of potentially being wrong somehow. Whether it was right or wrong at the time, or the situation evolves from the time of posting to the official outcome. Whether it’s...

If you’ve been around the board a while mate, you’d know that any mail should be taken in the spirit it’s intended by those that go out of their way to post it. Don’t be another that shoots the messenger and ultimately ruins it for everyone else. I for one enjoy the rollercoaster.

I hear what you’re saying. It’s a bit both ways. Those that make it to 300 need a bit of luck, but I’d imagine they’d trend toward being better mechanically. And those who become hampered by injuries probably also need a dose of bad luck, but that can be mitigated against with more robust...

Thoughts on the AFL pondering shorter games or extra byes to help combat the large number of injuries floating around at the moment? For me, it's nice to see the AFL potentially thinking about things to improve player welfare, but I can't help but feel like we're missing the point a fair bit...

Do we think the spoil at half forward that went straight to another Hawk player (not the Hardwick one) and resulted in a goal was deliberate? If so, it begs the question - why don’t we see more directional spoils to another player’s advantage? We see them when defenders spoil to the boundary...

How good is Jack Gunston!

Hey mate, without wanting to derail the training thread, being barefoot is obviously normal. By extension of that idea, barefoot shoes should be considered more “normal” for us in a perfect world compared to traditional, built up shoes. The challenge with barefoot shoes today is a lot of...

I agree mate, I’d love to see every player barefoot in the gym. There’s obviously the OH&S side of things but I think we can do better more often.

Hey all, I’m not sure whether this will be interesting or not, but since I can’t get down to training and give back that way, I thought I’d put something up thats caught my eye from afar. There’s been a bit of chatter around the few ankle sprains some players have sustained recently and I...

Apologies if this has already been answered but I’m playing catch-up on the thread as we speak! One thing we see a lot is that because we call them different things - like a calf and an achilles, it gives off the impression that they are seperate, isolated things, when in fact one just flows...
