Fantastic work guys! This sort of reporting is awesome!!! Bring on the NAB games

 

[madhawksfan]

Birchall and Smith playing on ball roles is hopefully a sign of things to come. Hill and Hartung on the wings with Smith running riot in the guts is a tantalising proposition. Birchall getting more of the ball closer to goal is also exciting.

Great to hear JOR having a big impact. Hopefully he is pushing for a spot in the 22 for Round 1.

Sicily will be tough to dislodge if he carries his form over to the NAB games.

I like the attitude of Sicily.

Oh how I miss the good old days of Dermie and Dipper.

Whitecross was busy got a lot of the ball should be a valuable contributer this year. Looks fit and ready

It appears that the Intraclub is on this morning.

Purple shirts v Yellow shirts

Are you trolling, ffs you would think a supporter knows we are GOLD.

No the shirts were definately yellow not gold.

Look at the photos.

 

[jiphoc]

Look at the photos.

If you look at the photos the shirts are a mixture of both. So you are both right

 

[Hawthorn United]

Looked over his shoulder to check out his notes. His drawing was nice but he forgot to put a door in the front of the house.

That's cos we trained the house down

Jeepers, silly season effects people in different ways.

So Lithers still banging it long, any other disappointing performances?

We always like to hear who's smashing it, but the poorer performers are often more indicative.

Hodgey didn't get a touch

I really don't get the on field love for this chap. Not saying he's not a super bloke and a great contributor at VFL Level...

Every time I see him play it's the same stuff. Works his butt off, compete's hard in the air but plays smaller than his height and is not a great contested mark, good when the pill hits the ground, breaks the lines really well but seems to have one disposal method, hoof it long up the line.

Hardly the MO for a Hawthorn half back these days...

What am I missing???

I agree to a degree. I think he's definitely AFL worthy. And would have played many more games at 17 other clubs.

He's got some great attributes. Can play tall and small. Is quick. Has a massive roost on him.

However at Hawthorn, if you don't have a great short kicking game; you need to be a KPP generally. He isn't that.

It's unlikely he makes it at Hawthorn unless he improves his short kicking game or we change our game plan.

Will play 150 games of league footy, most likely not at Hawthorn. IMO.

 

[MrPremiership]

In the last 3 years, who should he have been given games ahead of?

Practically competing for a spot against Stratts/Duryea.....miles behind them

 

[LuvMyHawks]

It was a pleasant surprise for me, seeing Number 24 back reporting. I was getting worried about you N24Been so long since I saw you in here. Great report, as it always was, and hope it continues..

I'm not necessarily defending the guy and agree it does seem opposite to the Hawthorn style/ethos but we are not privvy to what his orders/instructions are from the coaching panel. I mean, you'd think if it was bleedin' obvious he was just adopting the 'kick long in hope' methodology against team instructions he'd soon be pulled into line.

You mean like being selected for 13 games for the AFL-level team in 2014 and then less than half that (6) in 2015?

 

[IdiotBox]

So, he'll be good for just the 3 games this year then? That'll learn him!!

 

[LuvMyHawks]

Did Hodgey play? I didn't see him in the play at the club.

 

[GinniAndTonic]

Not sure this is the thread to put it in but, what day do the teams come out for the first nab cup game?

 

[IdiotBox]

Very true. I imagine this thread...
