I think we should all temper our expectations. We're potentially about to be in a very good position to do it all again but a lot of this kind of talk reminds me of the Swans supporters this time last year when they landed Buddy.

Basically there's nothing lost in keeping a lid on it.

except a whole lotta fun. the best bit out of our success is making sure the lid is well and truly off!

Why does everybody look 100% more likeable in those colours?

I'm at the stage that I am bloody proud of my club no matter what happens. I'd love us to give it one big crack at it last year, but if we weren't to do the 3-peat I would be so proud of our boys anyway. But seeing our team continually try to improve itself, and getting players like Frawley, want to come to our team means we are a destination club and its very satisfying to know we attract good players.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

We should try and shop Lowden to Essendon, they are the most depleted club in the ruck division, with Ryder going, they only really have Bellchambers on their list and a young 21 year old on their rookie list and after all that is going on there could be a good chance that Bellchambers misses time with this ASADA stuff.

Lowden would be a best 22 player most likely.

You cruel bastard.

Nothing against celebrating our success. Go all out on 2008, 2013 and 2014 but let's not get ahead of ourselves. "The higher they rise, the harder they fall". There'll be plenty lined up to stick the boots in as soon as we fail and last thing we want is dozens of threads and hundreds of posts claiming victory for a premiership 12 months out being bumped if it doesn't happen.

Quoted for truth.

The Swans with their midfield + litany of stars in the forward line + real hunger after a painful GF loss = a force to be reckoned with.
Fremantle's team + hunger from 2013 + one last real crack at it with Pavlich = a certain premiership threat.
Port Adelaide's midfield + run + hunger from the prelim + young determination = a significant chance.

We're up against it again in '15, no doubt.

I've lost it! Hahahahahaha

Hahaha lets hope it materializes so you don't have to change it tomorrow

Were there any GWS posters with Buddy avatars this time last year? Actually were there any GWS posters full stop?

Are you telling me to be cautious? It is happening mate - make some noise. Rub it in.
Last year everyone in the AFL world was okay with us losing Buddy for chicken feed in return.
It hurts others because we have just gone back to back and we will be short odds to go for a three-peat.
Buddy leaving has turned out to be a blessing in disguise allowing us to better balance the side both immediate and longer term

Mate I am going all out and celebrating the past and ongoing success. We are in rarefied atmosphere with where our players and club are and they deserve every accolade I can give them. They are true professionals and will not rest on their laurels. Enjoy it anyway you care to.

Nothing against celebrating the past and the present, or even getting excited about a bright future. I'm just suggesting it would be wise for people not to claim things like the 2015 premiership is ours at this stage because if it doesn't happen you're going to cop it from opposition supporters if it doesn't eventuate.

That's just my opinion though. Do whatever makes you happy, just food for thought.

Lake signed, Frawley announced tomorrow. Guess it's time to fap.

Loving the meltdown on the AFL board from Sydney supporters in the thread about ''can someone please explain Hawthorn's salary cap to me''

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

Winderlich anyone? apparently wants to play for another club.

My opinion is that he is a good smart player... but injury prone.

He can winderlich my bal....

That's exactly what it is. Total meltdown. A lot of pent up rage being let out by heaps of people all at the same time.

 

[WWSD]

Our club doesn't have a player who's playing in the reserves earning over 500,000+ per year.

TBF though, he might be a good player one day.

[madhawksfan]

If it's been reported by multiple media outlets (SEN, Hun, AFL website) there is a pretty high likelihood that Frawley will be a Hawk you would think.

Slightly nervous wait until it is officially announced though.
