Essendon equal with Hawthorn!

[Fangblast]

that's right, after hawthorn's loss today both these teams have the same win/loss ratio. who would have thought? hawthorn - the team that is easily the most talented team to ever step foot on an AFL field, the premiership contenders, the team on the verge of something very special is equal with a bunch of slow, old plodders and no talent yougsters.

hawthorn = over-rated and playing out of their skins. enjoy the casual slide back to mediocrity reminiscent of last year.

 

[MC_9]

ok then, run along now.

Essendons best player = 34 years old.

No serious Hawks supporters are talking serious premiership contenders for this year. Let's keep watching this season and see where we end up.

And your best player is 32 (or however old Crawf is). What's your point?

There was this guy, Leigh Matthews...

 

[Upgrayedd]

your best preformers each week are from 27-34
ours are from 19-24, thats the difference

Meh, I was cheering for the Dawks today........

Why did you have to go say that. For what its worth Leigh Matthews is at least his equal...

Hawks have a good, young quality list that will see them up there for the forseeable future.

Lost today to a more experienced team and a grand finalist from last year. Fail to see where Essendon should come into the equation.

Ridiculous thread. Coming from an Essendon supporter.

you'd be pretty surprised then. hawthorn supporters have been talking themselves up all season..no doubt about it but have shown no respect to a team that has the same record and has beaten better opposition.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Davey, Ryder, Stanton, Winderlich, Slattery, Welsh, Watson, Lovett and L-M when fit.

But whatever makes you sleep at night.

 

[drewie_rama]

bay 13 please...
although a serious note on the hawks, i think its how they respond next week, with their momentum now halted, will say a lot about this side, good luck to em, one of victorias biggest hopes

Find me one example where a hawk supporter has said are a chance to win the flag. Just have a look at the hawks board, most of us believe the we will finish around 4-8 this year.

Well actaully our best player is either

Hodge = 22
Mitchell = 24
Franklin = 20

so whats your point.

yeah our best midfeilder stanton is only 24...
winderlick is always among our best and he is like 23 i think.. maybe even younger..
mcphee isnt old his normally in our best..


ridiculous post man, pathetic...

also to whoever it was who started this can you stop bringing essendon into these arguments, i would rather just let our actions do the talking, rather than mouthing off at every opportunity

 

[evertonfc]

Memo to self: never tip soft sides.

Nice one, Hawks.

Hawthorn and Port are the two teams who have killed my tipping every bloody week.

Hodge and Mitchell maybe. But Franklin is WAY too inconsistent yet.

 

[evertonfc]

Quite frankly I'm really regretting tipping Geelong against Adelaide as well.

I don't know why I followed the bookies today...eugh.

Should have known far better. Avoid soft teams against battle-hardened units.

Lesson learned.

Essendon won this week and last week vs. last years Grand finallists and one of them was away

 

[CyberKev]

Hodge and Mitchell maybe. But Franklin is WAY too inconsistent yet.

He has only averaged 3 goals a game across the last couple of dozen played.

wouldn't take much to be bored after the match today would it?

Same here dude. Have probably tipped Hawthorn incorrectly the most of any team this season. They can look like world-beaters, but when the get beaten, they look horrible.

They should have won today. The Swans gave them a lession in tough football. Thats where that side has to get to if the want to compete in September.

 

[OB1]

Come on Fang, no need to sink to that level. We had a great win & they had a dissapointing loss. There's no need to to try to sink the slipper. Sure many of their supporters would be lining up to have a go at us had we lost but try to show some more class. For what its worth the Hawks have played some good footy this year (in between some yawn games like today) & should be looking forward to some September action. Hopefully we can be in the mix as well & the more Vic/Tassie clubs there mean more chance we'll actually get a chance to go to a final. I've certainly got no love for Hawthorn but I would prefer to see the Swans missing out. For Essendon's chances we are much better off with the other sides already in the 8 continuing to win rather than teams like the Swans who were just outside forcing there way in. With our very tough draw this year the teams coming into the 8 could end up being at our expence.
