Where will the hawks finish in 2004?

We must look to next season now where do people think we (Hawthorn) will finish next year. I think in the bottom 4 in the 8. Most times after a strong finish we have a good year after.

I think Hawthorn will still be a middle of the ladder team. Maybe a few years to go until you get right up there.

Anywhere between 6th-12th is my prediction.

Hawthorn should improve next year due to a better attitude and big improvements to many young players.

I think Richmond will be worse next year than they were this year, they are my early tip to finish near the bottom with Carlton and the Bulldogs.

I wasnt having a go at Hawthorn I just dont think that they will finish that high in the finals. The year after next ('05) is when I think they will be at their peak.

Good luck for this week too guys.

I agree Richmond need to go through a rebuilding phase. If they only used Richo better, he just looks like a player that needs a change of club just like Everitt did at the saints. I rate Richardson very highly and it would be great to have him at the hawks maybe we could get a complete season between him, Holland, Thompson, Barker, Everitt ... only if!

Could finish anywhere. It will depend on the playing list. IMO everitt is the best rucman in the game and crawford and mitchell respond wonerfully. They are good unit with Thompson firing and |Rawling displaying his best. Lekkas in the forward line is a huge boost. Hay is now becoming under rated. Smith is awesome. Grahem does his job every week. Somewhere between 6-10 i think at this stage. Brown will get games next season and he is a good player, shall be interesting to see what comes through the draft.
