A key part of the hawthorn 2008 flag winning team was the experienced heads on the bench. Crawford and Dew. Players such as Goo and Ossie are too valuable for us in the next few years to simply discard. Sure, maybe in 12 months BW will develop into a decent BP, but when he gets injured or needs...
At the start of the year I, like most of hawthorn fans, saw we played Fremantle and Collingwood in the final two rounds of the year and felt this was potentially a nice ride into what would hopefully be a return to playing finals. Fremantle are no longer the easy beats and we hardly have reason...
The problem is 'Personnel'. Why do so many people on this board still think we are putting the 2008 GF team on the park?! a quarter of that team not longer plays for hawthorn, and of those left at least half of them have had some major injury problems int he last 18 months. We are a team on the...
I somewhat agree with the OP and doubt hawthorn will play for a flag for a few more years. At which point Hodge/Mitchell/Sewell will be nearing veteran stage, Buddy/Roughie/Renouf/Brichall/Lewis/Ellis/Rioli/Young will be in the prime of their careers and the likes of Schoenmakers & Sheils will...
Sure losses are crap, as is the likely hood of a second failed season. But if the worth of your life depends on Hawthorn winning each week you've all got a serious problem - cos it ain't gonna happen.
With that in mind I would like to point out the main positive from tonights game.
JKT...
The ball was less than 10 metres away and in dispute. Lewis was out cold, arms in the air. The chance of play heading towards lewis was high. Hardly a stubbed toe. I don't see how stopping play to check the welfare of an unconscious player makes it netball. I want to see heavy contact and big...
what a joke our game is. Apparently the AFL wants to protect the well being of players, especially in regards to the head. I thought the contest was all legitimate and have no problems with the clash, but Lewis was so clearly concussed the second he hit the ground and the umpire standing 2...
I was fairly happy with Morton today. Both goals were nice set shots, the first with a small amount of pressure from the oncoming player and the second a crucial shot to keep us in the game. Would still like to see him become more dominant around the HF line, but finally showing some promising...
1) Re: Prince Park. There are plans for a new train line that runs up the city underneath swanston and has a stop at parkville.
2) Best option PT wise is Caulfield Racecourse. Quick train ride from the city. Caters for the expanding east side of Melbourne with VLine trains. Tram and buses...
Re: A summary of Hawthorns best 22 ....
Given he is the only current player to have the number 22 on his guernesy, surely Travis Tuck is the best 22 we currently have. Seems pretty obvious when you think about it...:p
Re: Every Player in the AFL or who has ever played afl, should we pick them up??
When you get selected I will make sure I have your number on my jumper. Chances are you could get the #9...
Re: Sam Mitchells bucks
This was classic - Buddy wasn't used to driving in to the game with so much traffic and they didn't arrive in time for the interview so they did it on the phone.

"Geelong and Essendon will be the second game of the round, on the Friday night, while Hawthorn and Melbourne will again play a first-round contest"
Tonight I went to one of the most exciting sporting events I've been to. And I went to the 08 GF and the 07 Elim.
Womens Roller Derby is fast past, high scoring, intense and delivers some massive hits. I saw players get airborne as the other team tried to take them out of play. My new adopted...
With Williams OUT and Burgoyne IN, I'm predicting Rioli will spend more time in the forward 50 in 2010 (break out as dominate mid of the comp in 2011). So Rioli for me.
