Fossilised according to some

The cheetah can reach a top speed of over 100 km/h.

Yep I'm tussling and hustling one right now...

Wow does that help them run faster?

 

[Leeda]

Actually no, it would still be travelling at the same speed even if inside a car

Hold it out the window

Away, I would think.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Making top 4 would be a real reach

You think can do it?

Some Hawks supporters laugh at the concept of missing the top 4
Your expectations seem quite high.

Sashay dude...way too green for me

Ah yes a GF appearance

2008 repeat. This is what I see.

I think "be better" needs some clarification for example Carlton's guernsey can't be 'better' it is the best was the best and always will be the best - sory brown and yellow stripes dont cut teh mustard in the be better stakes.

These 'be better' threads are too ambiguous and allow too much squiggle room eg witness the contortions that the Collingwood supporters have put themselves through in arguing that Collingwood was better than Carlton in 2024.

I'd appreciate some clarity around what exactly does 'be better' mean - and then I can respond to a clear definition of the question being put to the forum.

Thought we had decided this early - season progression and if both lose in same round of finals, overall H&A record then if same wins head to head record then head to head percentages before overall percentages (as that can be swung by draw inequality)
Edit oops looks like I shifted from my earlier post.. I’m getting old and senile

No, we laugh at the concept of making top 4 being “a real reach”.

Go through the ladder predictor thread and see how many posters who don’t follow Hawthorn have them in the top 4.

Fair enough

100 years coming up for the HFC this year. In its existence won a premiership 13% of the time, since 1961 won a premiership every decade and on average a premiership every 4.8 years ……. will be interesting to watch this group over the next 7 years. Exciting times for the poos and wiz!

The one positive of you guys win a flag in the near future will be the Carlton and Essendon bewilderment of a rebuild less than 20 years

Carlton and Essendon are archeology

Carlton 30 years!

Pies were a laughing stock after 32. Big watch

Worry about making a prelim first. It's quickly already become around a decade without one.

 

[Pistol Night]

Worry about making a prelim first. It's quickly already become 6 seasons without one.

You do realise Essendon supporters read this you savage

 

[Mr Meow]

They're irrelevant though, something you can't accuse Hawthorn of being. They'll obviously make another prelim soon - probably in 2025 - but it just shows how quick a decade can go. It didn't feel that long.

 

[RAPPA]

Not sure why Carlton is involved in this match up. Better thread for Carlton would be “Which half of the season does Carlton cook - first half or second half?”

Least it’s only half a season these days

They're not laughing at missing the top four, Hawthorn could easily miss the top four... They're laughing at you, and your post.

And this post that you just wrote is even funnier, you show an extreme lack of self-awareness.
