Where did I say that?
Hawks 2011’s teams had a similar age profile to ours in 2020. They also shared a similar history to us regarding the 2008 and 2016 premierships.
However, Hawks were a super competitive team in 2011 - we’ve been uncompetitive versus the better teams this year.
Does that help?
Uncompetitive against the better teams? - Yes we lost to them, but we were far from uncompetitive against Port, Geelong and Brisbane. We beat WC and last years Grandfinalists GWS. We've only been flogged by Coll, St'k and Richmond and Carlton and of those, id say we got stitched up against the Tigers, copped Collingwood at absolute full strength on the G, and lost it at selection v Carlton.
We are building agian this year and while its frustrating, we have won 3 of our last 4 games and could be finals bound with a streak of 5 from 6 all going well with the loss being against Geelong and we all know we weren't outplayed in that one
