If you sit down and pick the best Hawthorn team ever - as one does at this time of year when nothing much is happening - how many current day players get a game?
I reckon Gibbo is now worthy of a spot in defence. I saw Kennedy, Collins, Parkin, Langford etc and I reckon he's better than them...
Does anyone think that Buddy could be Hawthorn captain in 2014?
Consider this.
Hodgey is battle-scarred and getting on. Buddy is out of contract. Perhaps offering Buddy the captaincy might make up for the difference in salary between what we can pay him and somebody else.
He seemed to mature...
How do we rate this bloke?
Without Clinton Young, it seems to me that we'll need his kid's outside run, but is he good, really good or just a list-filler? There's not much of him, but he seemed to show a bit in his five games last year.
Where have our training spies gone?
Surely not all our sessions are behind closed doors.
I'd like to know if Bailey's on the track, is Gilham training, how does Birchall look, is Hodge moving freely....?
But nothing.
I'd go myself, but life's too short to watch training.
How far is Buddy away from our Team of the Century?
He won't replace Dunstall, Hudson or Platten, nor Arthur and Brereton, but he must be closing in on Bucky.
Bucky played 154 games and kicked 293 goals and was described by Allan Jeans as Hawthorn's best big game player, but was he better than...
If you had to pick a Hawthorn Team of the Century now, who'd come in to replace those currently named?
For example, would Hodgey or Mitchell get in ahead of Jim Bohan, Brendan Edwards, Dipper or Ian Law?
Would Buddy push Buckenara off a forward flank?
Was Crawf better than Ian Law or...
In Mike Sheahan's review of the Hawks, he said last week that nobody on the list had improved and that Stratton was the only bloke to advance in 2010.
It seemed harsh, but, looking at things, I think he's right, and that's an indictment.
Forget our A-graders for a minute, because they...
I don't know what the rest of you think, but I reckon it's about time Birch took on a heavier workload and moved to CHB.
The club says he's 193cms. Barry Hall's 194cms, Jonathan Brown 195cms, so that makes him tall enough to play on the power forwards, and he should now be strong enough and...
The Cats announced today that Kane Tenace, Dan McKenna, Scott Simpson, Adam Donohue and Bryn Weadon will not be back for the 2010 season. Should we be interested?
