Right now, I'd have to say the inability to win interstate.

What is your team’s major weakness?

Our stadium is too small.
3 things in particular at Hawthorn...
1) Dysfunctional forward structure that is clearly the worst in the comp.
2) Lack of genuine class and legspeed in midfield.
3) Complete absence of proactive nature and killer instinct.

1. Got the hard workers in the middle..need the polish to make the hard guys jobs easier
2. A CHB. Tried playing players not suited to the role and it has hurt hard, but, the fault of the players concerned.

Don't you mean FINALS!
At least you're making the finals though.
Impossible to answer for Richmond as in one particular thing. Let's see - Skills, Fitness, Talent, Coaching Staff, Recruiting, inept president and board - did I miss anything?

Eagles:
1. Kicking for goal has be atrocious of late, to the point where it cost us the game against Port Adelaide.
2. The spine is relatively inexperienced & consequently needs bulking up. Is heading in the right direction though.

Fear of big matches.
That is why CC talks up every game to get them trying to win when in big match mode.
I think the final last year is still having a huge impact. We would have been better off missing the 8.

It doesn't quite add up though, because he always pumps up a game (e.g. Collingwood) and then when you lose he just says, "meh" and eats another pie.
As for the Crows, apart from Jenny, its ******** poor drafting and trading.

Looking at things - the Collingwood game deserved pumping up as it was an absolute MUST WIN to make the finals. So why not pump it up.
But it is pumped up to give them the experience - that is why do it as often as possible - I'm sure there is much more than "meh" behind the scenes. Or at least I hope so...
Re: What is your team’s major weakness?
being banned by the federal government from cloning NIcK reiwoldt and Robert Harvey!
our biggest weakness is Brisbane, and I think that goes for just about every team besides brisbane
seriously though I think we lack experience and hard bodies.
we can match it physically with most sides, but a stronger and bigger brisbane and port smashed us physically, as they do most other sides when the want to.
we weren't switched on when melbourne and footscray pantsed us, but then most sides have an off day (even the brions!)
add 20 to 50 games and 2-5kgs of muscle to Dal Santo (21), ball (19), goose (19), penny (21), kosi (21), reiwoldt (21), x clarke (20), r clarke (18), schwarz (22), goddard (18), blake (21) and brooks (20) and a few others, and you'll have the nucleus of a good team.

Mark Bolton and Aaron Henneman!
Seriously, our slow midfield is our major weakness but not being able to win in the rain or interstate is a huge one that costs us at least 6 games a year.

Henno is below par as a player, but Bolts?
The thing with Bolts is this. He is an absolutely fantastic player who is just played in the wrong position. Kevin Sheedy... he is NOT, NEVER WAS and will NEVER BE a defender. Bolts is an explosive tall from Half forward flank and that is where he is best played. He gets towelled in defence 8 out of 10 games.
Finals experience. The Majority of our top players will have played little or no finals, which could be cause for concern.

On field you would have to say a lack of a quality tall marking forward, we have barely had anyone take a strong packmark in the forward 50 since Modra!!!!
Off field as Macca stated would have to be our recruiting and trading, it physically it hurts me every time I see Danile Wells with the footy!

Our Midfield's defensive skills.
With Harris and Simpson aside, our midfield does not chase back or tackle.
Our Forward line always seems to be far too crowded.

Nothing Earth shattering here - we dont have a power forward who can break a game apart. Whatsmore, the forwards we do have are generally inaccurate when kicking for goal.

"Just about" every team, except for the navy blue and gold.
Hrmmm you've got him there.
The number of free kicks we get in our Forward 50, been our biggest weakness for a couple of years.

Just a guess, but I reckon you probably have about half of those ages wrong. Penny and Blake for a start are over 21.
