injuries than just bad luck. Two promising young careers that look on a knife's edge if their tendons and ligaments don't start holding up to stress.

Quiz of the day…

QUIZ: Random Hawthorn players from the 2000s

Few good names in here 💛🤎

www.zerohanger.com

Geez I wish picking the Tattslotto numbers was that easy

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Bulldogs dumped from the Good Friday game vs Norf, in favour of Carlton (so it's Carlton vs Norf)

Wow. I think they dumped the wrong side.

 

[FB19]

There has to be something more to the recurring Max King and Ben King injuries than just bad luck. Two promising young careers that look on a knife's edge if their tendons and ligaments don't start holding up to stress.

The lesson is don’t be so mediocre you have to rely on potential star 20 year olds to change everything. And of course can we get either on the cheap given their injury history?

 

[TylerDurden]

Hawks and Clarkson conclude business with 450K payout

Hawthorn have reached a final settlement with Alastair Clarkson, paying the four-time premiership coach the $450,000 that he was still owed for his last contract.

sven_inc has shared some theories on Max and his running style before.

 

[GOHORCS]

16/16 pretty easy really

Couldn't remember Lonie's first name and chose wrong. 15/16.

Could easily be something to do with their connective tissue not quite being as strong as other people.

Could be the way they run or they are unlucky.

Hopefully it’s just unlucky and we can see them live up to their talent.

Ehlers Danlos is a bugger.

 

[James Buchanan]

Phillipou has already tried to claim jumper number 2 at the Saints. Kid has got front.

He's got that Mitch Thorp energy.

 

[grumbleguts]

Ehlers Danlos is a bugger.

Isn't it though. Seems to be more common today too.

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

Isn't it though. Seems to be more common today too.

Or more just diagnosed correctly?

 

[Rhayader]

Claimed the captaincy and life membership on day 1 also.

Keep an eye out for the DVD of his first 10-session training streak

 

[grumbleguts]

Or more just diagnosed correctly?

Yes. I probably see three cases a year.

Saw a case of this on 24 hrs in A&E recently… terrible affliction for those with the worst symptoms, wouldn’t wish it on anyone

Really depends on which type you get as well. Vascular can show next to no symptoms until it’s too late.

Where as others can be non life threatening, but absolutely ruin your quality of life.

Especially if you get POTS linked in with it.

Big sis to a T.

Big sis to a T.

I developed POTS. Certainly a big screw around with ones life.

The AFL aren't in a hurry to release this fixture are they ?

 

[moginie]

The AFL aren't in a hurry to release this fixture are they ?

Well, have a look at the reaction when the AFL announced round 1 and the timing of it.

What's the hurry? Seriously? 2023 will still happen when you wake up tomorrow.

For fans that are dedicated enough to travel to games on a regular basis the earlier the better, makes it easier with work and accom etc..

Other than that it makes no difference really, but yeah for the fans and planning it is a lot better.

Yes, I empathise because I'm in the same situation as you, and I have to wait until the VFL draw is released too so I can see which Hawthorn games align with Box Hill.

But 2023 will still happen when I wake up tomorrow.

Probably looking to release and announce a few rounds at 11:05 on Boxing Day

Given what will probably be less than pleasant memories of our club's time there in the 2020 hub, it would be fantastic to see us light it up with enthusiastic effort and hopefully a big statement win.
