This is not whatsoever a thread deserving to be in Bay13.
Hawthorn have a ridiculous amount of talent for how they have performed in the last 2 years. They have seemed to have lost the hunger since their premiership.
Should they rebuild or will they pull it together with the current group they have because in honesty being a geelong supporter i do think they have the talent. But they seem to be content with the 2008 premiership.
I decided to make this thread as I was giving some banter to a mate about them being knocked out and he said in short "he was still living off 2008".
Is this the same for the players? are they content and satisfied with the one premiership.
Ill do a quick analysis of their team and you tell your opinion and leave bias and hate aside.
Midfield is A/A+. (lacks one or two speedy players)
Hodge - A+
Burgoyne - A/A+
Mitchell - A/A+
Sewell - A
Rioli - A could be better next year.
Young - A (he is so important to this hawthorn side) underated.
Lewis - B+
Ellis - B+
Bateman - B (these days) (2008 an A grader)
Forwards (very difficult to judge) (losing williams hurts more than expected)
This year B+, (2008 A+++)
Franklin - bad attitude. (will kick 100 goals one more time in his career) (a+)
Roughead - (pull your finger out son. So much potential all the attributes to be a gun, learn how to kick straight) (b+)
Osbourne - B
Whitecross C+/B
Backline - C+ / B
Brown B+
Birchall B+
guerra (finished) B
Stratton - will be a gun (B+)
shoenmakers - will be good (b)
you judge should thy start rebuilding?
