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.

The 14-club finals race... and brutal bottom four reality: Early verdict on every AFL club’s 2025 fate

Win-now team’s masterstroke; brutal bottom four reality: 2025 Verdict on every AFL side

Tip for D+ crew: Don't use double negatives if you don't know how to.
"Unsurprising to no one, the 2024 premiers are the benchmark of the competition."
The above means the opposite of what you actually meant to say.

How the Barrass deal sealed Hawk's delisting, interest emerging from other clubs

“If they couldn’t get the trade done, I’ve got another year.”

Tim Mitchell ran with the same story in the Hun and I learnt that

"...the Barrass deal had been done for a suite of future first-round picks..."

Seriously, can't the Hun afford an editor or is Slobbo on the piss again?

The theme song to Family Ties takes the cake on this one.

"'cos there aint no nothing we can't love each other through" quadrupled the sh!t out of that negative.

Typically poor insight from Fox Footy journo’s. It’s like they’re the absolute dregs of footy media trying to cobble together opinion pieces that no one really cares for, but will go for when there’s nothing else available.

If they bothered to look, they’d see that Hawthorn are actually equal favorite for the 2025 flag with Brisbane at the moment.

 

[TylerDurden]

Theyve got Collingwood ahead of us, with 12 blokes over 30 on their list. Lulz.

 

[cryptor]

The "footy experts" struggled to identify who would make finals 1 month out. People are wasting their time reading what they think will happen 10 months out. 2025 lists aren't even finalised, and we don't even know who is training the house down yet.

ChatGPT will soon replace all this filler content. A one person able to write half decent prompts will soon outperform every newsroom in Australia combined for this fluff content.

 

[cryptor]

Pretty sure their 2024 ladder prediction was just the 2023 final ladder with a few teams moved up or down a couple spots.

Thanks wahawk, I had to laugh. The readers votes have Carlton top pick for the Flag with 30%, lot of inner city lefty Italian's read the Age!

Lefty Italians would be an even rarer breed than lefty Carlton supporters.

Does anybody really care that much whether some random fox sports journos rate us?

“Sam Mitchell and his band of social-media merry men”

This part of the article cracked me up

just another opinion. Or many other opinions. As long ast they arent the Montagna and Kind type comments, no need to fret.

Swans weren’t the best team right up till grand final. A few teams had better form going in to finals

Even if it was Montagna type comments, wouldn’t bother me in the slightest.
We just keep doing what we do.
Win.

I hear what you are saying.
My point was the King, Montagna, Purples type commentary was more than just run of the mill opinion. It was deliberate and based on resentment

Sugar hits, when Sam first started getting wins
Rebuilding coaches don’t last
10 year rebuild
Tanking accusations
Culture killers

These were some of the more vulgar comments targeted at the club involved. Not general commentary that hear often about other clubs

Of course with so many in the media, they rush to be heard and so like the arseholes they, everyone has one about everything
