Unfortunately Hawks are likely to win the spoon. Opposition will kick 15+ goals on us most weeks. Very hard to win games that way.
Red time is the worry. Seemed to be getting blown out late in quarters

The scoreboard flattered us. That should have been a 100 point demolition job, they missed some absolute sitters. We had close to our best 22 playing.Red time is the worry. Seemed to be getting blown out late in quarters

Imagine we had St Kilda‘s injury list with 15 players unavailable for selection.
Says the insolvent Saints.Hawthorn to merge with Tasmanian team is on the cards.
We could not play a game for 15 years and be more relevant than your mobHawthorn to merge with Tasmanian team is on the cards.
Why drag Tassie down?
We didn't have our two best forwards either tbf, we might have won it by that much if they were inThe scoreboard flattered us. That should have been a 100 point demolition job, they missed some absolute sitters. We had close to our best 22 playing.

Still think Hawks and North are the front runners. West Coast also look bad but I'm thinking they should win at least a few games at home, I'm not sold on North after one game where they just scraped by against them in Melbourne.
Hawks look a shambles at the moment, they lack leadership, experience and have lost a lot of talent over the last few years that is going to take some time to replace. Missing Lewis for the first third of the season isn't going to do them any favours either when they're already stretched for talent. They absolutely smashed Port last year though so I've seen first hand that they're very capable on their day.
North have got a good young player in Sheezel and Wardlaw still to come in, their midfield looks not too bad really but I think they are still a little young and unexperienced and will lack consistency. They have a gun key forward in Larkey and solid to good Key defender in Mckay if he can stay on the park, so if they keep this group together I think they have a lot to look forward to and the foundation is set to build around, even if they finish bottom again.
Although they will want these young guys to come on quickly with Shiels, Ziebell, Cunnington Greenwood and Goldstein all coming towards the end of their careers.
Also a bit of a worry Kayne Turner is still a starting 18 player.
I'm going
16.West Coast
17. Hawks
18. North
That's what happens with very young sides. Their mids collectively just don't have those multiple pre-seasons under their belt so can get outworked by more experienced opponents in red time.Red time is the worry. Seemed to be getting blown out late in quarters
At this stage I am tipping North and the Hawks to finish level on points with North completing the 3peat on %.
2 kicks the other way and they’d be 18thEarly season wins is pretty common with a young group. It's still Norths to lose IMO
This is fair based on this 1st qtr of the season. I think the WCE game in Tassie is winnable, plus a few shocks down the road.The Hawks. ave copped some fierce poundings but a good win v North and a near result v GWS suggest green shoots. Though their talented kids may tire I reckon they have 2 or 3 wins in them.
StKilda & Essendon on the thread list have suprised me tbhAnyone still on St Kilda?
A lot of the early posts in this thread haven't aged well at all.
Don’t rule us out just yet.StKilda & Essendon on the thread list have suprised me tbh
But that's not what has happened. We won those 2 games. Either way the Carlton and Hawthorn games were both really winnable but we threw them away either due to inaccuracy or our 2 best midfielders missing.2 kicks the other way and they’d be 18th
