You're still salty Rioli was a better player than Shane Edwards I see
Be interesting to see how the hawks do next year with a top 6 draw, not sure they have the talent to compete, especially in the midfield and up forward, am particularly interested in how they react to being given some of their own medicine, they seem to enjoy trolling, but cannot handle it coming the other way, i call it #sookball

On the bright side, as bad as Hawthorn has been post the hat trick (and 4 flags in 8 years), and for a time it was the worst Hawthorn team since the early 1950s, we never wooden spooned.
That said, I do agree, it would not surprise me if Hawthorn slid next year and had a bit of a come down.
Growth is not linear. The Hawks stagnated after 2001 (and even 2008), the Dees after 2018, Pies in 2020/21 and even the Tigers took four years to kick into gear after making the 2013 finals.
There are no guarantees…
Now do the Cats. You've had a very quiet season mate but your opinions are constantly later deemed massive fails.Be interesting to see how the hawks do next year with a top 6 draw, not sure they have the talent to compete, especially in the midfield and up forward, am particularly interested in how they react to being given some of their own medicine, they seem to enjoy trolling, but cannot handle it coming the other way, i call it #sookball
NO AFL coach would take Edwards over Rioli unless they're tanking
Agree. Plus maybe another A grade mid. However you'd think Mackenzie and Day being fully fit could fulfil that. A fit and consistent Mitch Lewis should provide the missing forward tall.
Ignore list is your friendNow do the Cats. You've had a very quiet season mate but your opinions are constantly later deemed massive fails.
Should be better on paper but a tougher draw. Easter Monday will be a Cats home game at the MCG so avoid a trip down the highway. But top 6 draw says we have 3-4 away games against Port, Giants, Sydney or Brisbane.Our team changed a fair bit from 2008 to 2009. Injuries and retirements.
On paper we should be considerably stronger next year.
Shouldn't you be playing with the North supporters these days?This has long been resolved, do some research

Me too.Will be an inter sting watch next year.
I have the Hawks either
A). Continue upwards and end up a top four team and contending.
Or
B). Out of the eight completely as they have a flat year due to a harder draw, being the hunted and some younger players just 'expecting it t heppen' attitude.
Either way I don't see them in the 5-8 range for some reason.
It's really common for young teams to poke their heads up before dropping down for a bit. That great cats team poked their head up, but then dropped back down before slaying the comp in 2007 and beyond. Melbourne did it - up in 2018, then back down before getting back up for the 2021 flag.On the bright side, as bad as Hawthorn has been post the hat trick (and 4 flags in 8 years), and for a time it was the worst Hawthorn team since the early 1950s, we never wooden spooned.

Do you want me to spend another summer telling you that Hawthorn isn’t other clubs?It's really common for young teams to poke their heads up before dropping down for a bit.

True.Do you want me to spend another summer telling you that Hawthorn isn’t other clubs?
Get a clue.True.

The only club where emotional dysregulation and losing your shit is an admirable leadership trait. Pretty funny:
"I’m proud of our captain ... He was able to stand up and lead in a way that he can be proud of" - Sam Mitchell
"I think what I do as a leader is I always have my teammates’ back and I will stick up for them regardless of who is in the right or the wrong. It is something I pride myself on" - James Sicily

Get a clue.
Sicily had every right to go back at Ken after he’d targeted one of our players after the siren.
Yeah. I've got no issues withGinni's smartarse tweet, or Kenny's smartarse comeback - a bit of banter is good - or Sicily having words. But he wasn't just having words, Sicily had lost his shit. He kept going whilst chairing Bruest off and nearly dropped him. Losing your shit seems to have become a thing of great pride for the Hawks leaders. It's all very Clarko.Get a clue.

With our luck it will be a gather round 'home game' against Port and an away game against PortAfter last night you can lock the AFL giving us 2 matches against Port next season
Pretty sure the AFL can't do thatWith our luck it will be a gather round 'home game' against Port and an away game against Port
