The Hawthorn injury excuse 2010 thread

[Greystache]

I'll kick it off, given this one will be rolled out ad nauseam as soon as the season looks like it might be going sour.

Cue the “But Franklin missed the entire preseason after major surgery, and played on one foot when he was in the team”

from The Pelican....."Burgoyne's knee is rooted & he didn't tell us".

Expect it any day now.

 

[Big Pipes]

We're actually going great guns at the moment. Buddy will be back in full training in a few weeks (if you read the article and not the title... which I highly doubt) and Burgoyne is just about ready to start full training with no discomfort.

Croad is the only guy on our list to worry about but we've got depth in to cover him this year, so no excuses if we don't make finals this year.

For the Dogs though, if you fail to make the finals it'll mean that you're over the hill and your window is closed. I know which position I'd rather be in

Interesting thread.

Incidentally, what will the Western Bulldogs excuse for bombing out of the 2010 finals be?

"Too many washed-up old hacks" would be my first suggestion.

Too many short people running around in the forward line?

Good luck with that, Geppetto.

Something along the lines of "Well, we've been one man down, ever since Barry killed a guy in round 2....it's taken it's toll on the whole playing group."

 

[Hodgepodge]

"Barry Hall assaulted five of our best KPPs"

 

[PumpyChowdown]

Let's face it - the Dawks only have two good players in Buddy and Hodge. Buddy has the IQ of a watermelon and is always in for "minor surgery" and Hodge is...well a fat **** who reportedly can eat his own weight in KFC in less than an hour. No mean feat considering he weighs close to 150kg. The rest are plodding Bradbury's, spuds, flogs and never-has-beens. Will fail to make the eight again.

Hooper>>>>Betts.

Expect to see the below image on a particularly regular basis (like every stoppage or every time the ball is down the other end of the ground) when the going gets tough.

He'll stay on the ground having no impact on the game despite being in hideous pain (as far as we know) because he's just that tough. Rinse and repeat every game till round 22.

poor form trolling an injured player, boo to you

a team devoid of the mettle to ever win a flag?

By all means, expect that. With all your hearts.

Prolapsed something or other...?

Mate that is one of the great images of our nations game, hodge playing on injured that day was inspirational to the team and anyone who likes watching elite sport, he was a rock in defence that day and then followed it up with a Norm Smith


Hodges Arse Grum Nuts >>>>>>>>>>>>>XThinksCockIsGoodX

 

[Jaeger]

Na XThinksCockIsGoodX its from the Prelim v aints last year after his ribcage was shattered

 

[Beerfish]

You mean after he bit his tongue.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

You mean after he bit his tongue.

Ssshhh, let him go on. I want to hear how many ribs were broken. So far the winner is 6.

 

[Jaeger]

What next? Sewell is soft because he only had a headache?

 

[mess]

You mean after he bit his tongue.

He means after he bruised his lung.

 

[Beerfish]

What next? Sewell is soft because he only had a headache?

I thought his head was shattered?

Soft anyway. Hodge would have stayed on.

He's just that tough.

 

[HAWKS HEROES]

Ssshhh, let him go on. I want to hear how many ribs were broken. So far the winner is 6.

well that is the number told at hawthorns best and fairest in 08 after beating your lot ! in the best GF in the last 3 years last years was ok,
08 was by far the best by your team and ours even though you lost,
07 was a very boring game to watch port were not ready for it they were very lucky to even get there and that comes from a couple of port members i know !
