Why do Hawthorn crave to be in the BIG 4

Hawthorn Dawks: 9 premierships, 11 wooden spoons

Essendon Bombers: 16 Premierships, 4 Spoons

6 premierships, before we entered the competion, when the game was just a recreational sport for cricketers to keep fit in the off season.

Take away 2 premierships in the 90's for blatant salary cheating

Hawthorn 9 > Essendon 8. :) :thumbsu:

Say what you like mate, at the end of the day...

EFC = 16 premierships (thanks for 84 and 85)
HFC = 9 premierships

OK if we can selectively edit the data.

Since 1992,

Essendon 2 > Hawthorn 0 :) :thumbsu:

possibly, we will never know. Not sure why the Knights appointment reeks desperation, if he fails then the board are gone so wouldn't they get someone who is on the right track?

Because the board is looking to paper over the cracks so they don't get turfes out on their arse for letting the club go down the road it has. Knights may well be better than Sheedy. Sheedy has to shoulder a massive amount of blame for the quagmire your club is sliding into. Your list is age heavy and shows signs of a genuine lack of talent by your recruiting staff. Personally I love Sheeds for the way he has bent you all over the table for the rest of the AFL to roger. :thumbsu:

But I digress. The board wouldn't listen to a total rebuild scenario that most of the candidates put forward and chose instead to appoint Knights who blew smoke up the butts about how good the players he has been looking after are. So he looks good and the board doesn't have to go through the pain of rebuilding with the abuse they would have copped from the feral supporters during it. Works for both of them.

Knights better enjoy the time he's in charge because sure as you like he will be shafted by your spineless board long before they take responsibilty for their mistakes.

were you in on the meetings?

you sure seem to know quite a bit of what went on in all interviews, you wouldn't be getting your information off Big Footy would you.

oh dear, you are.......how embarrassing:eek:
 
Quite amusing reading these insecure bummer fans trying to rattle the Hawks cage - thought you lot were mainly realists and avoided the slanging matches, my how a few years in the trough makes one bitter.
Time to face some home truths however, we own you now and you all know it, you also know there's going to be many years of mediocrity to add to the 3 already achieved.
I'll take top 4 over big 4 any day - but keep clinging to the irrelevant if that helps you get through this period of crud, a period that is yet to fully bottom out.

as soon as you win a flag without having to buy 90% of the players feel free to bag Essendon supporters, until you are our bitches

2 Grand Finals
1 Grand Final

we only count the ones that matter

Daniher, Gumbleton, Jetta, Hislop, Davey, Houli, Reimers, Ryder, Dempsey, Neagle, Hocking, Lonergan, Monfries, Slattery, Nash, Stanton, Winderlich, Laycock, Watson, Lovett, Lovett-Murray... plenty of young talent there and more to come in November.

Next year we'll have one of the youngest lists in the AFL.

The board wouldn't listen to a total rebuild scenario because we don't need one. Our list needs a lot of work but doesn't need a total rebuild. You don't give away your champions no matter how old they are.
 
Poor old Essendon. After years of dominating in a competition the strength of the local netball comp ( pre 1925 ) they now cannot hack hearing about the rabble that their club has become. You only have to drive past Windy Hill atm, looking in great shape with holes in the walls everywhere- in stark contrast with the state of the art facilities at Waverly. Their coach got belted by one of the smallest men ever to play the game so it looks as if they about to embark on yet another period of softness, which will follow the years of unwillingness to put their heads over the ball since Hawthorn tore them a new one in THAT fight.

Not sure what this means? EFC don't pay their players?

Mal Michael went to the club for free?

Maybe you should look into paying players, you know, an incentive to win! :thumbsu:
 
Sorry i'm late, i hope i haven't missed all the skum bitch slapping.
I'm still laughing at the desperation of essendon supporters already clinging to the past because their future looks the bleakest in the compitition.
You've got nothing left! The idols you worshiped so fiercely have left the sinking ship and now all you have to look forward to is a long future of woodern spoons and the joy of being the bunt of everyone's jokes for generations to come.
'Watch the bombers crash down, down!'
 
Actually its still

Essendon 8
Hawthorn 9

:) :thumbsu:

nah, i'm counting the times we beat each other in the big ones

you know, the only reason we follow the game(it's been a while i know but c'mon you know what i'm talking about.....)

that's right, i'm talking about Premierships.

Essendon 2 over Hawks
Hawks 1 over Essendon

you are forever our bitches.

hurts doesn't it.:eek:

i'm talking about drafting players, not poaching them like teams did prior to 1987.

and people told me Hawthorn supporters had an education.
 
The Essendon posters are starting to reek of desperation, hence all the anti Hawk threads they have posted today.

Seems to me like they are starting to shit themselves, knowing their future isn't a very bright One.

But the worst thing for them is that it's the Mighty Hawks who are giving them a football lesson.

Bottom Dwellers = Bottom Feeders.

I can barely remember the last time Hawthorn were beaten by essendon??
I can how ever remember the last few schilackings we've inflicted upon you.
Get used to it fellas, coz it's the future you face.

Mate you are definitely clutching at straws there.
Daniher: Was drafted yesterday how the hell can you say hes the cream of your young guns
Hislop, Reimers, Dempsey, Neagle, Hocking, Lonergan, Laycock, Gumbleton,Jetta: If these blokes cannot crack a game regularly while you have been bottom 4 or 5 regularly what hope do they have ???
The rest: Apart from Lovett they go alright cant knock em
 
Poor old Essendon. After years of dominating in a competition the strength of the local netball comp ( pre 1925 ) they now cannot hack hearing about the rabble that their club has become.

We're still one of the richest clubs though, you guys just keep playing games in tassie in search for more money... :)

You only have to drive past Windy Hill atm, looking in great shape with holes in the walls everywhere- in stark contrast with the state of the art facilities at Waverly.

What are you doing driving through Essendon and passing by Windy Hill? The obsession must run real deep ey? BTW we're doing upgrades.

Their coach got belted by one of the smallest men ever to play the game so it looks as if they about to embark on yet another period of softness

Yeah because you're ability to coach well all depends how well you fight...

which will follow the years of unwillingness to put their heads over the ball since Hawthorn tore them a new one in THAT fight.

Ess 24.10.154 def Haw 12.8.80 - you mean THAT fight?

Now come on mate that is very very unfair. Our golden run of 10 years at least is abotu to start and you hacks will be bottom 4 for that period at least so how are we meant to beat you in Grand Finals ???? I spose now that Knights has left Bendigo they might go alright and if Box Hill can get it together we could play each other in a VFL grand final but as for AFL you are no chance
 
Mate you are definitely clutching at straws there.
Daniher: Was drafted yesterday how the hell can you say hes the cream of your young guns
Most of them are in order of being drafted...

Hislop, Reimers, Dempsey, Neagle, Hocking, Lonergan, Laycock, Gumbleton,Jetta: If these blokes cannot crack a game regularly while you have been bottom 4 or 5 regularly what hope do they have ???
They've been injured. I think you'll be surprised how many of them crack our 22 next year.

you weren't good enough to make '86 or '89 - they also counted.

ownage relates to current day streaks, it'll be that feeling you'll have in your stomach as you go to the next Hawks v Bombers clash - ie fear.
 
Yeah because you're ability to coach well all depends how well you fight...



Ess 24.10.154 def Haw 12.8.80 - you mean THAT fight?
Mate i didnt say how well you fight determines how well you coach its the attitude that the coach brings. Clarkson was a dog of a player tough as nails and look at the steel he has installed into us. Sheeds was the same for a while but now Knights. Jesus u blokes are in trouble. And thats exactly the fight i mean the one that has made you forever sh*t yourselves and seen you unable to beat us without the help of goal umpires
