Your friend isn't a Hawthorn supporter. They're a Hawthorn admirer.I've got a Dees supporting sister who watches Hawks games sometimes, including the two most recent - didn't know who Newcombe was when I mentioned him last night. I was a bit shocked but made me realise that he's still under the radar, somehow. Then again, I have a longtime friend who's always said he was a Hawks supporter (admittedly footy isn't a big passion of his). I invited him around for a game about 3 years ago and he asked who a certain player was (Burgoyne). Even worse his young son had got the bizarre idea into his head that the Hawks got rid of Hodge because he was a cheat. Silently gobsmacked in all 3 instances.

It's funny. In the highlights video you actually see Worpel feeding him quite a bit and vice versa.
Looking at the the reel, you'd think Worpel had a great game
At this point in time I'd say Duke hedges Martin when you look at the stats of the two, taking footage into account it's probably Duke.To add to Buckley, Damo been pumping him up on Triple M and AFL website a bit over the last 1.5 weeks too. Feel a growing movement for him for the rising star. The media are a bit like sheep, will only take 2 or 3 to move the narrative.
Having said all that, Nick Martin is in some sort of form. Averaging 22 touches and kicked 10 goals.
Should have got more. He was better better than Parish, Merrett and Martin.Got 1 coaches vote.
6 touches in the 2nd half was a big drop off. Working on his fitness still.Should have got more. He was better better than Parish, Merrett and Martin.
Somehow I think that was deliberate by Mitchell only giving him 1 vote - trying to keep a lid on his prized bullShould have got more. He was better better than Parish, Merrett and Martin.
Send Mitchell and Worpel back to the tools not the twos
Still hasn't played 20 games. Still only had 1 pre-season.12 score involvements. 5 centre clearances.
Love it.
One might say he is the rising star of the comp.Genuinely could become a star of the comp.
He should clearly win it at this pointEnourmous again today.
Needs to be right up there in the rising star
