Prediction Who will be better in 2025? Carlton or Hawthorn

[Sirlemsip]

So true and it’s happening again. All this player comparison of who’s A, B, C is fun for many on BF. Hawthorn players that play their role well are judged harshly ….. but not by our coaches and supporters! Internally at Hawthorn players are rated by our theme song:

“Team work is the thing that talks,​

One for all and all for one​

Is the way we play at Hawthorn.”​

Don't forget that they informally changed the lyric to be:

"Is the way we are at Hawthorn.”​

Specifically, to signify that the input of non-playing staff (coaches, medical, etc) is just as important as the players themselves.
The club website hasn't updated this (they should get onto that) but if you listen to the boys sing/shout after a win you'll hear it. Here is a clip from a few years back:
Hawks after win

Imo Carlton are a risk of missing the finals unless they have a good injury run as they lack depth.

For this reason I vote the Hawks who have addressed their main squad weakness adding 2 key defenders.

Our depth will be mostly unproven next season after moving on a fair few experienced players in the off season.

Will be interesting to see how they go in place of those we moved on

Close on the betting markets for the flag. Pick swap attached. Nice belting in round 22 likely making the Blues want revenge.

Wowee - this could be tense

Nice poll.

Carlton - Between 2nd and 8th

Hawthorn - Between 5th and 12th

We're going to tilt at a flag next year....at least get to a prelim.
The lads are inventive and curious and "take no prisoners"

Obvious answer here is Carlton.

Obvious answer here is Carlton.

At winning the wooden spoon? I agree

Both will be average in 2025 hawks got in everyones faces now made them a target.
Carlton will just be carlton and do carlton things

Ladies and gentleman, we have an early clubhouse leader on the contributions board. Not shocked by it either

You should post another ladder prediction where Collingwood finish minor premiers and win the flag, Timmy.
