we have the leading goalkicking full forward in the competition in williams

we have the best and most consistent ruckman in everitt

we have the all australian center half back in croad

we have the best midfield break in ; everitt to crawford to mitchell

we have champion and argueably some of the most exciting young players in the comp with buddy and roughhead.

YET... we've only won 2 games and everyone has been bagging the ******** out of us, having no respect that we can do anything this season except play out the young guys.

what the HELL is going on here? i know we've been in 5 close games where we had take the down side of the coin flip but judging by this, we should STILL very well be in contention this season.

a team of champions is different to a champion team ..
it takes time for the gel to set ..
the young fellas are on the track and starting to bond , give it some more time and clarkson will get what we are hoping for ...

yes but we are playing a different game style, new coach, new forward line, new backline, new midfield, and have been in good form. Considering that we have only won two games, and are getting such good media attention, shows that we are playing well despite losing.

I honestly believe we let games against Essendon, Richmond and Carlton slip, kangeroos was debatable. T

hink we are going to win about 8 games this year, which would be a huge step in the right direction.

im just saying that its really fudged up that us as supporters are forced to conceed the season. and people who still have a glimmer of hope, have to realisticly think in the back of their minds that they are only going to be let down.

You're talking absolute rubbish mate... Didn't you learn anything from the movie 'Crash'

Got it one Lasher.
Y'know when you're not ranting and screaming and tearing strips off the opposition supporters on their own boards you make some salient points.

thanks mate ,.. i only bagged on the dees board because i got sick of all the crap they came up with on the main board leading up to the game and in general really .. they really have it in for us , i think because we are so much more successful ..

.. they bag us more than any other team supporters so when we whipped them , i couldnt help but put them in their place and let them know that we own them ...

Yes, lasher, fair enough. Look what our players did to theirs (and their supporters) where it counts out on the paddock. Certainly our youngsters didn't take any rubbish and I don't see why we 'youngsters'

should accept Dee trolls trash either.

I am not being biased but I think we should be more optimistic than most teams. Only Geelong and St Kilda, should be more optimistic.

You think Kangaroos are a good side. What's the difference?

Nah, I don't think the kangaroos are a good side... You guys are probably better than us. But you would still be last 4 or 5 in the AFL.

steveo1010 · May 19, 2005

Don't get me wrong though, I don't dislike the hawks. I have more respect for hawthorn that 14 other teams in the comp.

So! Where does that leave Melbourne?

TheTigersReallyGreat · May 20, 2005

Hawthorn look better than last year, but there ladder position does not show it. If they start winning they will move up on the ladder, and their percentage will improve.

Why shouldn't he ... it's a free country. A young new writer should be encouraged to express his point of view. So many kids today have to be enticed to take pen-to-paper (in modern terms fingers-to-keyboard). Good on you, TheTigersReallyGreat, keep those fingers working (as long as you keep on being kind to the Hawks

).

pete_hawker · May 20, 2005

no disrespect to the Richmond supporters as their position is no mean (notice spelt MEAN) feat. But they are some strange supporters out their. As mentioned a few times before Hawthorn this year are goin to make some upsets but fall short against teams they should beat. Its how a new side (not gelled yet) works. So instant success is always unlikely mate.

CARN THE HAWKS!!!

How young do u think this guy is. i actually know who this is, i'm one day older than him. He's quite cut that he's being portrayed as a retart.

TheTigersReallyGreat · May 20, 2005

Yes, I know Pete so its okay if he is MEAN to me. I am sort of new to these forum things so i am still getting used to how they work. i didt MEAN to upset anyone. thanks for the encouragement Gary, I appreciate it.

Just checked yours and TTRG's BF public profiles, you are both 18 and should be congratulated for your posts. There are so many young people who cant write the Queen's English (encouragement needed) and I appreciate both of you for coming into a public forum like this one making comments and expressing points of view.

Hmmmm, I'm a bit sus.................

Gary Shadforth · May 20, 2005

Now .. now, binxy. I think I had 14 cups of caffeine before I wrote that.

I think there should be drug tests on posters to this board, binxy.
