    They have some big games coming up, they would hope this is only minor and doesn't linger.

    He will still win the coleman if he misses three games you would think, but stupid by the club to risk him against GWS. Very silly.

    Disappointed at hawthorn on face value. Will be good to see what buddy says when he does come on. But if he carried a niggle into the game then it's pretty poor.

    Indeed. Hawthorn wanted to boost their percentage Silly move in hindsight!! Hopefully it's only two.

    P.S. You were right in that other thread, no need to remind me ;-)

    Oh well
    We play better with him out of the side

    We looked far more organised with him off the field vs gws, and we have looked more organised when he has been out of the side in the past

    Decision to play him on the weekend was as bewildering as putting Luke Ball back on.

    Returning to top 4/top 8 thread.

    Srsly though, it's obvious they just wanted his 500th goal out of the way and they're paying for it now.

    Clearly didn't need Buddy for a percentage booster against a bunch of kids and has beens.

    Very poor decision to say the least.

    It's not just Buddy that's been mismanaged. Hodge comes back to early, gets hurt and we don't see him for 12 weeks. I mean, what the **** is going on down there?

    Big out, I'm still very confident we won't lose a game, based on Roughy's form this year.

    Just wasn't necessary. This and the Hodge decision. Could have us out of the four if we lose to either Collingwood or Essendon by close margins.

    Was surprised that Franklin played against GWS, surely if there was any injury risk you would rest him for that game.

    Could be a costly decision for the Hawks

    Is it true Hodge is also suffered a setback? Could just about rule him out for season.

    Not good at all.
