News Hawthorn in the media 2023

[Strapping Young Lad]

Please don’t bring Barrett’s sliding doors rubbish here. That’s not the Hawthorn footy club in the media.

That’s a desperate article, trying to get clicks every week.

Racism penalties????

Here we go.

Clickbait. Gutter journalism.

 

[eldorado]

Take it to the international court of arbitration if it happens. The report clearly said Hawthorn is a safe space now.

Sounds like utter nonsense to me

Yep. Don’t click. Don’t read. Do something else with your time

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Robbos must be worried that Hawthorn will still win a final before Essendon does

 

[Kil Phearns]

Heaven forbid Slobbo and Damo are ever held to account for their constant bullshit.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Not joking here, I would go burn down the afl offices

Settle, Gil has already said via AFL media there will be no penalties, as the Hawks are trying to impove as a whole.

 

[cs61]

Gil did rule it out but apparently didn't 'emphatically' rule it out.

Here we go.

"Doomsday scenario".
That as desperate click bait as I have seen.

The anti Hawthorn agenda in the media is astonishing. Do they realise how desperate they look??

They know we're coming and they're afraid... very afraid.

Shouldn’t say this (especially considering eagles look more likely to finish 17th) but would be interesting to see what the afl would do if north finish 17th and then end up with Reid in that situation

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Its pretty clear the sanctions wont be draft picks

Barrett has stopped with it

“Yeah but they haven’t stated there will be no penalties for a form of tanking” - D.B.E Barrett

Cornes already ragging on Hawks on SEN this morning - going back to losing the experience may have won yesterday's game.

Based on our clearances being significantly better this year, I'd almost argue it would make zero difference, considering the biggest issue is the lack of a big body in the forward line.

Bucks was again sound of reason, basically saying it's way too early to judge this rebuild and much better to get experience into young bodies than delaying the inevitable.

I thought the media would at least positive about the effort and big wins we made yesterday, but nope. Honestly, the modern AFL media is just all about "scandals", "hype" and stories that could be generated from ChatGPT.

When did he say this?

Not a shot, just genuinely curious to hear it

Buckley is outstanding. Wish he was at our club tbh.

This year, in one of gils interviews / videos Feb - March 2023. Sorry i never thought to book mark it.

I feel like a Buckley-type is just what our coach's box is missing. The Swans have looked dynamite since Don Pyke took over their midfield, we know Clarko had his string of gun assistants, and I just don't see that from our current staff. Hale, Kade, and Chris are all alright as line coaches, but we don't really have a strong deputy. If we could get someone like Bucks across as a senior assistant I feel our development will go very smoothly. Maybe wait until after we get the ball rolling on a winning season first, but to compete for a flag either an existing coach needs to step up or we need a good head.

FWIW I think Littlejohn is brilliant from what I've seen at Box Hill and could very well come into the fold as an up-and-comer. Much better than just throwing in an old-boy AFL player, I still think the AFL is a step behind other leagues with our policy of giving coaching jobs almost exclusively to ex-AFL players.

 

[theiaofseed]

Yes the AFL is going to give Hawthorn draft sanctions but allows Fagan and Clarkson to continue to coach with out penalty

And the thing is Sam has already answered this exact criticism to Kane weeks ago. We've improved dramatically in the midfield since cutting T.Mitchell and O'Meara. We're winning the clearances with a refreshed midfield group. It's the putting the scores on the board that we're struggling with. And even though Sam wanted to keep Gunston, I don't think we'd be any better off in that department given his performance at Brisbane so far.

Littlejohn is a very impressive individual.
Would not surpise me at all if he gets a senior AFL coach job sometime in future.

We're blessed to have Collins back in the fold. Hugely underrated.

 

[smeltitdeltit]

The midfield improvement doesn’t necessarily counter the point though. Yes it’s vastly improved. Yes that improvement may not have happened with Tom Mitchell taking up a spot. But you can’t tell me Tom Mitchell wouldn’t have helped with a clearance or two in the 3rd last week to help stem the tide.

Problem is , Mitchell had no interest playing a secondary role. And that’s fair enough.
