That’s how you do a blockbuster NMFC

 

[Roosurgence]

Which one? We’ve more potatoes than the McCain factory.

I’m sure Noble will persist with Atu, so I will go with that match up.

 

[Themanbun]

Sam Mitchell is a great coach already.

 

[Waussie]

Hawks outnumbering them at every contest.

Note: 1 contests in the air....the rest stay down.

We don't do that

Obviously Sam knows how to prepare his group from the first bounce.

Hawthorn generally have better veterans, a more consistent coaching group (including a gameplan that has remained largely the same for years) and are more fitter than us.

No we prefer to spoil each other in the air.

So let me sum it up.

They are a better run club.

We’re spoilt for choice.

That’s irrelevant when you are happy with your second and third quarter though

 

[sutcliffe's hotel]

It will be used as the example of why we should lose Good Friday, you can already read the playbook.

Probably but would be a mistake. Isn’t this effectively just a regular fixture that does not involve additional hoopla?

You cannot manufacture a decent contest, indeed it would be incredibly suss if you did.

True sporting rivalries are organic & this is one of them.

Marquee games are a marketing exercise to largely help ‘big’ clubs be big.

 

[muttley45]

Good effort by Hawks without a Ruckman for s fair spell, hope Cats are slow to recover with a shorter break.

 

[LB2Snake]

Since when did they decide that scooping the ball upwards with an open palm is a knock on?

It’s a throw every day of the week, yet they never pay it anymore.

Braves flag

 

[Roosurgence]

Braves flag

The Braves flag was based on throwing, I think the Richmond dynasty was were the AFL let the open palm throw go under the guise it’s a knock on.

 

[LB2Snake]

If watching a team like Hawthorn who has no more talent than we do, play competitive football purely due to a sound gameplan and system, doesn’t have you worried what is happening at our club, then you are burying your head in the sand.

I like Nobes, but it def crosses the mind.
We are not fit, WTF not? Is the other question I ask.

 

[sutcliffe's hotel]

So let me sum it up.

They are a better run club.

Absolutely just look at their success. However, they almost stuffed the transition from Clarko.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

So let me sum it up.

They are a better run club.

Have considerably more resources than us.

 

[Themanbun]

If watching a team like Hawthorn who has no more talent than we do, play competitive football purely due to a sound gameplan and system, doesn’t have you worried what is happening at our club, then you are burying your head in the sand.

This. Adelaide and Hawthorn should be getting some (admittedly mild) alarm bells ringing.

 

[Roosurgence]

Have considerably more resources than us.

That’s too simplistic.

I think it might be that they have people in roles that have more clue about the modern game than we do.

 

[shinboner magic]

Hawthorn generally have better veterans, a more consistent coaching group (including a gameplan that has remained largely the same for years) and are more fitter than us.

Can’t we steal someone else’s game plan.
We’ve got the worst talent in the league.
Our lack of intent during games is akin to doing circle work at training.
Our club has been club med for around 20 years.
Gut the club of every former player as it’s all dripping down from the top.

I keep seeing 'we are not fit' on here.

We were fit enough to hang with Sydney.

We are ****ing LAZY.

Very true, although we aren't going to see this improve with the dearth of KPPs on our list.

In fairness, I think they are THE BEST run club. Have been ridiculously successful for over 50 years….they are miles in front of everyone IMO.
Shits me.

Edit……Also NONE of their ex players neither bag or don’t back up the club, ever.
We’ve got our greatest ever, a former President and a duel premiership player all pretty apathetic, at best, towards us in the media.

100%

We are not only lazy, but also ruderless.
