Can Hawthorn succeed while ignoring the elite end of the draft? - Part 2

[Chaisa]

I'll be very interested in seeing what impact coronavirus has on future seasons. Does it mean that the kids are more AFL-ready? Does it give a chance for the oldies to recover their sore bodies properly? Will it give coaches more of a chance to work out a winning gameplan?

If 2020 is cancelled or only a few games are able to be played 2021 will be a absolute mother****er to predict, lol.

Final 10 would have seen Hawks premiers in 2019

Unlikely, just Grand Finalists if we could have avoided Richmond until then

It could be a good thing for players like Burgoyne and Frawley. Not having to play 22 games and less minutes might mean they play on in 2021.

Players tend to peak at 28

considering they are all 26, not 27 as well...

Ah but they'll be a day older today...

How many of robbos top 10 was over 26?

 

[Scotland]

won 11 games last year that will push for top 4 this year.

Started 2-3, though.

Can't afford to have a slow start in 2020. Top 4 after Rd 2, lock it in.

That is worry as we generally start slowly

No double ups throws a huge spanner in the works for everyone.

It bothered mysterious powerbrokers who ensured it was buried

I'd be careful threesixpio about your movements

It was a thread to keep us all entertained. It had at least two years in it too and could be bumped in future epidemics.

Some shadowy forces are concerned you may be getting too close to the truth
