Yeah just think of all the people who go and themselves tattooed to celebrate when they made the top 4. Granted, St Kilda fans probably would do this.

Or win ten in a row...

And, in their tattoo, they'd misspell the operative club name.

Somewhere in his tiny hindbrain he believes that 2 > 13 in the last 63 years.

Ah some of my fondest football memories... Making the final 4 in the 2011 finals... Making the final 2 in the 2012 finals series.

Just imagine getting to repeat those more often and not have to carry the burden of winning more flags.

And to think, all those pointless premierships, had we lost them the AFL would have had no reasons to keep introducing more equalisation measures.

Just remember our three-peat wallpapered over the cracks the team had.

I think this bloke gets in line at Kmart with Saints supporters to buy regular season games DVDs.

Is it really true though? More of a Sydney or Geelong vibe

But tale collingwood and hawthorn pivot around 1960. Half league history It’s a mirror image.

Collingwood 13 flags before, hawthorn 13 after

 

[Rushed_Behind]

Hawthorn is the club Collingwood think they are.

Why aren’t Melbourne using their draft hand for Tom lynch. He’s exactly what they need, they have good picks and tigers don’t after getting average giants. No brainer for mine. 5 or 13/24 get it done then they are flag favourites.

Yes, we were, at the same time, an average team with a great coach, and a great team with an average coach.

But mostly it was something, something Expansion teams.

I mean how head ****ed do you need to be to celebrate Prelim stats ?!?

Lynch won't be that interested as he has already got 2 flags. It would need to be a big financial offer for him to even think about it. He would kick 80 a year at the Dees with their midfield.

Tom’s deal is back ended. Getting $1.5 mill next year. He has no interest in moving clubs.

Thats backending at its finest...dont drop the soap :0

But you cant put a value on winning premierships.

Would be great that general members of the public would have a shot at tickets, that's for sure.

Class action issued against the AFL in the Supreme Court last week for its failure to protect players from racial abuse . The lead plaintiff is Phil Krakouer. Other group members at this stage unknown and it’s unclear whether this is related to Hawthorn or not, though I believe it is separate

The same firm has conduct of the concussion class action so basically the AFL’s least favourite law firm

 

[Off The Couch]

The court documents would be an interesting read as to what they think the AFL should of done
