News Hawthorn in the media 2024

[Strapping Young Lad]

Just like last years thread, whatever Barrett has to say is not Hawthorn in the media.

Couldn’t care less for his shit takes, they don’t belong here.

Taz was On the Couch this week and I nearly jumped/ fell off my own couch when he said he saw great similarities between the Threepeat Hawks and the current ones.

Was mostly about the way Clarko got them so synced, disciplined and following team onfield rules, structures etc. and how Mitch has already got them doing the same with his gameplan.

It was the most accurate description on how we are tracking . Our last 2 wins have been our biggest margins but our least impressive. We are only getting better.

Think you’re reading it wrong.

His "our Hawks?!" did have a bit of "oh no, we're just good friends" energy about it.

"Oi ya little campaigner, request a trade home. We'll have ya"

Thought it was that or..."get a haircut"

He’s questioning Kanes “our” rather than his own.

How can anyone think otherwise? He was having a laugh at Kane referring to our Hawks.

 

[Stard Picket]

Hodge hates Hawthorn after being forced to captain 3 flags and only winning 2 Norms

It’s will be interesting if we can improve our scoring profile once Lewis returns as our defensive profile is doing really well and so is our midfield, but can we kick big totals once Mitch returns.

Nailed it

Hodgey is Hawks through and through always will be

But he's decided hia future is in the media and he plays the game beautifully. Always associated with the Hawks, finished up in Brissy, Comes from Colac and came up through the Geelong Falcons but barracked for the Tigers as a kid - plays all these hands as required.

He will be loving watching the hawks as we do.

I think he'll come in this week, with Alphabet Stadium being so skinny, you'd imagine there will be plenty of contested marking opportunities

He also loves Brisbane, just listen when he commentates them.

Joey got called on his 10 year Rebuild call on Triple M by Rabs

Comment was "4 Years In"

Will be his fall back comment

Never listen to a bloke who can’t pronounce his own surname.

 

[HawthornHawk]

Smith would be our third best mid, nowhere near a Petracca - even if we did need one. Melbourne have had THE Petracca and have only managed the 1 flag.

Not sure our footy department see it that way

 

[dermott]

Exactly. It was just a bit of by play between Hodge and Cornes.

I've heard him say a few times how much he loves the Hawks but at the moment I still think he still has one foot in Lions camp. He'd still have a few mates playing there (and of course Fages) which would emotionally tie him to them.
Once some of those guys retire/leave club he'll probably gravitate emotionally more towards Hawks.
Cooper may end up in Lions jumper and of course things may shift then.

Why?

 

[Ned Ryerson]

He also loves Brisbane, just listen when he commentates them.

He played with and was involved in the development of a lot of their current squad - of course he is going to enjoy seeing them do well. It's like people who think Lethal has no Hawthorn left in him because he advocates for Brisbane who seemingly forget he's on their board.

 

[triple treat]

Just on the Does Hodge like the Hawks anymore thing, My brother lives in Kununurra and had Cyril Rioli go to a game there (was apparently meant to play but didn't). he had all 4 off his Premiership medallions with him (my brother sent me a photo withe the metals around his neck) and said he loves the Hawks.

So what im saying is when you win a flag (or 4) with a club that connection and love would be almost unbreakable.

Sometimes you get the feeling that Brisbane is his new love and Hawthorn is his ex girlfriend.

Derm did the same kind of thing didn’t he.

Hodgey loves Brown and Gold! The guy lead our three premiership teams and bleed for the club.

The fact some of you are unsure because he is professional on the job, just tells me he is doing his current job well.

He will be dead to Hawthorn if his son joins the Lions as an Academy player

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Derm did some coaching with the Giants early on and then whenever he'd commentate games he was always a tad partial to them I would notice. I guess when you've worked closely with blokes it would be hard not to be excited/happy to see them doing well.

Speak for your self, Luke Hodge will not be dead to Hawthorn. But it will suck very much for supporters.

Even if Cooper nominated lions, there are restrictions. If the Hawks like Cooper that much we draft him early.

If Hawthorn played GWS, Sydney or Collingwood in a GF Derm would be desperate for a Hawk win. If it was a Hawthorn v Brisbane GF Hodge would be happy either way. Hodge now bleeds brown, maroon, blue and gold.
