Think Tank Hawthorn's B&F: Concerning Youth Exposed

[STP18]

I know I'm not alone when it comes to thinking that Hawthorn is mere moments away from reverting to the good old days where its' members battled valiantly to vote their club out of existence, only to fall agonisingly short. Well fear not Hawfs, in the not too distant future you will be called upon again to put your decrepit club out of its misery once and for all, and this time the whole football world wishes you luck in finishing the job you started.

Now the Hawks have just finished their BnF and the only players to really poll all that well rely on a zimmer frame for mobility these days. Take a look at this and try and tell me it's not #concerning.

1. Josh Gibson – 204 ----> 32 years old next year
2. Cyril Rioli – 194 -----> 27 years old next year
3. Sam Mitchell – 192 -----> 33 years old next year
4. Luke Hodge – 171 -----> 32 years old next year - only played 16 games, kids couldn't beat him still
5. Shaun Burgoyne – 165 -> 33 years old next year

Best Player in Finals – Sam Mitchell
Most Consistent – Luke Hodge

The future looks bright at Dingley, that's for sure!

Of the punters watching the Hawks B&F streamed live on our website I tend to wonder what percentage were Geelong fans. Second highest rated program of the year down in Sleepy Hollow behind Adelaide's B&F I'll bet.

I was cheering on dad's army and they came home with a wet sail. Not a player under 25 in sight. Expecting Jed Anderson to push these older blokes next year once he gets fit though.

One of them is Cyril, therefore your argument is invalid.

Yep just oozes potential this bloke. At 27 years old next year the Hawks will be hoping this youngster can carry the load when the 30+ old fogies drop off.

Indeed it does - quite flattering that a handbagger supporter can appreciate the fact that Hawthorn has got the very best and extended the careers of it's champions when there own team have thrown them on the scrapheap, ignored their own talent and just tried to rape the competition whilst expecting to get it all for nothing.

For such obnoxious clowns - pretty impressed they where up to feign concern actually.

So many attempts for so little a result.

Pity you didn't list the top 10.

 

[Breustiful]

Two Hawthorn threads in one day STP? You must have

 

[ameen_ssnp]

Lol who cares how old their players are still doesn't change the fact they won 3 in a row.

Wow - 3000 posts - were they as mediocre in your brain as what they evolved into on the screen?

I think that's the point...

 

[skipjack]

Cause Selwood, Enright, Lonergan, Taylor, Hawkins and Johnson are all spring chickens .

You just freaked out Jed Anderson so much about Hawthorn's future, that he has just requested a trade

St Kilda's is pretty bad too

I ****ing hate how whenever you eat hard shell tacos they spill shit everywhere. Like seriously, hard shell tacos are delicious but they are so messy, I'm so sick of eating soft Tacos just to save mess.

Why is this 1989/2008 sore an...oh wait, I remember.

Seriously sad obsession. And clearly bitter that the second best Hawks team is better than Geelong's best ever, with its paltry 3/5.

First world problem caused by a 3rd world food brah.

Try pretending you're vegetarian for a while just to bang a self respecting hottie who's full of all kinds of self confidence some time...

 

[Geelong Dynasty]

The drop off will be swift and fun to watch

 

[09 Cats]

Hawforn will be lucky to make finals next year.
