Just an early evening stroll through the thread, I come across this pearler.We've had an absolute mare of a season with the messaging that's come out of the club.
That comment.
+ the "no ceiling on the season" comment. *
+ leaders at the club talking about Finals. *
+ this idea that the club is done focussing on drafting and there has now been a shift in direction for recruitment (which has been mentioned too many times by some posters).
That was all rather misplaced arrogance and a complete overrating of where we are as a club. The cold hard truth has now slapped us upside the head.
* it's fine having internal goals. But don't go mentioning them in public like that when they're extremely ambitious, especially given how poor the last several seasons have been. Talk is so cheap and those comments are proving to be rather embarrassing in hindsight.
Oh that's a bad oneJust an early evening stroll through the thread, I come across this pearler.
Seems to me the leaders at the club were right to be talking about finals, seems they knew exactly where they were.
To quote almost your exact words from the post above: Talk is so cheap and some comments might prove to be rather embarrassing in hindsight.
I’m kinda annoyed it’s at Geelong, this pulls 70k+ at the GHawthorn are playing sensational footy of late.
Biggest Geelong/Hawthorn game since the 2016 QF coming up? We are in the home stretch of the season and both teams are thereabouts, albeit not genuine contenders. Better fare than the usual 3rd vs 17th type stuff we've had over the past 5 years.
Anywhere from 3-13 is even.Current ladder positions of teams Hawks have defeated over the last 8 weeks:
16
17

14
8

9
Form isn’t nearly as impressive as the media are making out
If they can beat Geelong then it might mean something, but I doubt they will
If we didn't beat Brisbane, they would be 3rd on the ladder and talked about as a challenger to Sydney/CarltonCurrent ladder positions of teams Hawks have defeated over the last 8 weeks:

Superb response.Yeah I was wrong, and I'm glad I was. At that point in the season we had been putrid, obviously. I doubt anyone saw the last two months playing out the way it did.
The Port game was the turning point for me, feel free to trawl through those posts.
As someone who has never admitted to being wrong in your whole entire life, ever, I know it will be impossible for you to relate to that.
So consider this a lesson O' self-proclaimed Galaxy Brain; people can change their opinions, opinions based on the evidence at hand.
I would've thought the current ladder position was more relevant as it's a better indication of where the team you played is likely to finish.Hey scoop, isn’t the more pertinent stat the ladder position at the time we faced that team?
Or nah.

This is round 16 ladder 2023. Big change in positions to the end of 2023I would've thought the current ladder position was more relevant as it's a better indication of where the team you played is likely to finish.
5 teams on 32 points, one on 34 points, 3 more on 36 points.
9 teams separated by a game and %.
That tells you where the season ends? The bookies would love you.
How's this then?
The Hawks "big winning run" has included 4 of the bottom 5 teams, and those teams aren't going anywhere soon.
It was an exceptionally soft run which is about to come to an end, let's see how they go over the next 3 weeks.

Where have you read that?Found it somewhat amusing that Harry Perryman is being labelled as a "big fish".
