For those old enough on this board to remember, the West Coast drug crisis of the mid 2000s was all that anyone spoke about when referring to that champion team, from Chad Fletcher “flat lining in Vegas”, to Cousins being found drunk outside the Convention Centre and many more incidents. The...

Interesting thought exercise that's been doing the rounds on social media and the podcasting world. A sporting Mt Rushmore is the idea of selecting and enshrining only four individuals for their contributions or successes. The fact that it's only 4 makes it interesting. Who would be your 4?

With Dimma signing today, it's going to be fascinating to watch who will enjoy more success at their new teams. Clarkson - 4 flags, 5 GF's Dimma - 3 flags If the footy whispers are to be believed, Clarko had the opportunity to take the Suns job at the end of 21, but chose to take a year off...

Definitely wasn't the only one to have a quiet game today, but on a larger note - where is he at in his development? Has played all but 4 games this year, is 22 years old and is getting close to those vital 60 games under his belt. I've definitely seen improvement in his game in brief glimpses...

Didn't see a thread about it, but how about the performance of McEvoy all season - but particularly yesterday? He bossed Mummy and Lobb by himself. Two of the best rucks in the comps and he took them to the cleaners. Sure, his hitout effectivenes could have been marginally better, but I'm not...

Yes, people are going to whinge about another loss. But given the amount of youth we are blooding, I choose to be pretty damn positive about this result. It reminds me a lot of the 2006/07 days where we had young bulls in our midfield trying admirably to get us across the line but often not...

Thanks to the Hawks Facebook page for the reminder - but thought it was well reminding everyone today marks 1000 consecutive days for Hawks fans to savour being the Premiers!

Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I'm just in awe of Clarkson and the program he and the rest of the coaching staff have put together regarding Sicily and his development. You compare the Sicily from the beginning of the year, who without question had some moments of brilliance -...

Whats bothered me most about this season has been the old, "this is Hawthorn's last hurrah". Amid all the noise, I think one big thing has been missed. We are 5-2 and blooding some valuable game time into some super exciting kids who will only be better for it. Hartung Lovell Brand Langford...

Always knew the kid was going to be great - didn't know his rise would be this quick. 38 disposals, 24 contested against a tidy midfield unit tonight. What's more, loved him giving it to Rance at the end for his dog act. Future captain of Melbourne. How good is he going to be?

I think all of us thought if Buddy went to GWS, fair play, it's $2 mill a year and he's going to a shitty team who wont challenge us for the next half decade. But if reports are correct, $1.4 mill a year is only marginally better than the deal we've offered him? * the Swans, why dont we...

As much as most of us are (likely) revelling in the fact those cheating Scumbags have been penalised - is this a good opportunity to pilfer their list for value? I've always been one to look at a negative situation to find value - and this seems like as good an opportunity as ever. Obviously...

Howdy folks, haven't posted in a while but excitement about this Friday's clash compelled me. Hawks on a roll, Pies coming home with a wet sail. Could we be in store for a massive crowd this week?

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/sport/collingwoood-magpies-spend-20m-to-buy-flag/story-e6frg7mf-1226049430571 When we won the flag, everyone jumped up and down about how we spent a lot on the football department to make it happen. Since then, if the article is to be believed, we've...

Why is everyone so down on us after the loss? Sure, we lost - but I came away from the game yesterday actually thinking that we'd be a real chance the next time around. What has happened to our fan base over the past few years that rips us to shreds every time we have a loss? Look back...

The best thing about the draft for me is that we picked up an absolutely quality young midfielder with our first pick. For some reason, it seems like it's been quite some time since we did that! I think it raises the question about our engine room. In 4-5 years time, the likes of...

Not sure if i've completely missed the thread about it, or whether it's just passed people by, but I read this on ABC ... http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/11/15/3066033.htm AFL Tasmania 'filthy' with Government over Roos/Hawks decision Perhaps it hasn't been announced to the...

A lot has been said recently about our 'need' for a big tall defender to hold fort down back. Tarrant may be the answer to that problem, but only time will tell. Another problem that we had was a genuine lack of pace around the midfield. It's fair to say that in our premiership team, a big...

30 years old in a few weeks. Wants to come back to Melbourne. With Brown going, what would you offer Fremantle for him? An older, established player and a reasonably draft pick, or just a quality first round pick?

Didn't freo fumble it through to finish the quarter?

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/08/04/2973733.htm?site=sport&section=afl What a remarkably stupid comment. Given the amount of work we do in Tasmania, to call the club 'uncommitted' is just a slap in the face. We'd be well within our rights to walk away from Tasmania and flip...

It hasn't been announced as yet (I think), but there's obviously talk about it happening from next year. Does it mean the Tas Government will spend less on future deals with Hawthorn? If anything, i'd be pretty confident that North will be unable to do a quarter of the work that Hawthorn...

http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,27352297-23212,00.html Damn shame, was a fantastic venue.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/jeff-kennett-wants-action/story-e6frf9jf-1225876681108 Another matter that Jeff firstly didn't need to say anything about - and secondly, does us no good by commenting on. If people wanted a reason as to why Buddy may be persecuted by the MRP, the...

None of us are medico's, but for those of us with some sort of medical background, can we do any more damage to Rioli's OP by playing him? I remember West Coast were in this situation with Judd a few years back - and if today is anything to go by, Judd can't kick anymore. :o Is it time we...

We speculated about it pre-season, I believe we're fielding this team now for the first time? Rioli Franklin Peterson Burgoyne Roughead Hooper Impressive!

I know everyone will be chucking money at him - and he's most likely to stay with the Swans in a coaching capacity, but i've always been of the opinion that forget Bucks, forget Hird, forget anyone - Kirk would be the best player-turned-coach when he retires. Here is our chance!

I saw for the first time today the 'old' Premier League logo and it struck me that it reminded me of something else ... Were there ever any copyright issues brought up by Fitzroy with Barclays, given the similarity that the Lions logo had with the old Barclays Premier League lion?
