Time to go to AA.2020, covid hub set the scene. Players and club cried like spoilt brats. Demanded they only be away for six weeks, because some players were married withkids!!!WTF!
Player trained and played accordingly. Traing went down the gurgler. Player lost fitness, became over weight, injuries happened.
And nothing since 2020 has changed.
Really, really good!If Hawthorn are this good, how good are they going to be with Barrass and Battle?
I get that there is still a fair degree of hate/scorn towards Ross The Boss, but I'm just not sure that folks realise what a unique effort he delivered in turning us (as an interstate expansion club) into a five year finals club. I fear it will be at least a few more decades before we get the same run of back to back prelims (let alone a grand final) that Ross delivered. Yet folks still mock and disparage him and anyone who dares support him, and salivate over the likes of Justin Longmuir, Fagan, Hinkley and Voss.It’s not out of reach. We went deep in finals with RTB and made a Prelim with Connolly after a 9 game run.
We need to have integrity at selection and a few key players need to be challenged to rise from mediocrity.
I think we’ll load up (sell the farm) this off season and get that much needed class especially in the front half. We the supporters and the team need to stop thinking small, making excuses about how hard things are and think bigger.
Ross was good. Great even. We just kept him too long.I get that there is still a fair degree of hate/scorn towards Ross The Boss, but I'm just not sure that folks realise what a unique effort he delivered in turning us (as an interstate expansion club) into a five year finals club.

Sorry I didn't explain it well enough - I meant we finished top 4 in 2013, 2014 and 2015, my bad in explaining it.Even Ross couldn't deliver back-to-back prelims I'm afraid.
But I agree with your overall point. It does pain me when people try to disparage Lyon's legacy. It might not have ended well, but I'll always be grateful for the brief period he made us relevant and somewhat feared.
To be fair we haven’t made the top 8 last 2 seasons, so we haven’t risen yet. Having an acceptable year, only to fumble the last 4 games isn’t rising.Why does bloody Hawthorn always have to rise just as we do. Let’s hope it’s us with the god damn three peat this time.
It was two years worth of 1st & 2nd rounders plus the 5-6 years of shit drafts prior where they only found role players besides a few in 2017.That's a fun meme but I'm not sure how much stock I place in it.
It was only one year's worth of picks wasn't it? One bad draft shouldn't cripple a club for a decade.
It was more likely them systematically f**king up every draft for 5 years while injuring half their players with incompetent S&C and letting the other half get fat and lazy, all brought on by an overwhelming hubris that they could do no wrong.
Go back to AmericaTime to go to AA.

Too many fat headed over weight brains here making comment, unecessary to say the least, on Sean Darcy.
I wonder if their views on Darcy are in any way a fact that they carry an injury that makes their heads and brains fat.
I honestly can’t pick between any of them other than CarltonI'm loving the prospect of Port getting straight-setted and since I feel nothing for any of the teams outside of that, I can just enjoy the games.
I don't even care if its Carlton.I honestly can’t pick between any of them other than Carlton
So all I do at the start of each game is work out which players or coaches I dislike the most
Lobb and Weightman lost last night but it was a tough call between them and Sicily / Watson
Damn that little ducker !
I need to force myself not to click on the bolded link for once and stay out of this thread in particular. It's nauseatingI know it's incredibly frustrating sitting out this weekend but this board is becoming a bit unreadable atm.
We all love it and follow it closely but at the end of the day it's just watching a game being played by strangers.
