's knee injury?

 

[Lickmesocks]

Does anyone have an update on luke Breust's knee injury?

Don’t they normally let the swelling go down for 48 hours before doing the scans?

A lot of the time they can tell if its an ACL right away? Just was hoping somone had some inside news

Is every component of our form line purely coincidental??

I ask this because since Collingwood won in Round 8, we have occupied 17th every week since.

Each time we have had the opportunity to move up the ladder with a win, we have failed to do so (regardless of opposition strength).

Each time a win would not enable us to move up the ladder, we have won within a week (again, regardless of opposition).

To elucidate, Collingwood (16th) won in Round 12, allowing Hawthorn to win without moving up the ladder. The following week, we beat a top 6 Sydney in a much improved performance.

Collingwood again won in Round 13 and after a narrow loss to Essendon, Hawthorn knocked off GWS in Round 15.

After a couple of losses, Collingwood beat Richmond in Round 17. Hawthorn (also after a couple of corresponding losses) face top placed Melbourne in the next game they can win without going up the ladder. Hawthorn get a draw with the ladder leaders in a much improved performance.

On the weekend, a win would see Hawthorn jump a couple of places on the ladder and despite a better fielded side, Hawthorn's performance drops away to lose to the 16th placed side.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying we are secretly good or can simply choose when to win (or even that the above means anything at all - which I personally doubt) but the above is a little interesting. Is it purely coincidental? or does the intensity and effort lift a little when a win will not compromise our draft position?

Does everyone still feel this is pure coincidence - for something like the 7th or 8th time this season?

Collingwood win, meaning a win will keep us 17th and we come out and smash a top 4 hopeful in Brisbane.

Was this only a combination of the Clarko announcement and Brisbane being off their game or are we lifting when a win will not compromise our draft position?

If so, expect a loss this week despite a far easier opponent.

22 touches and 3 goals for Horne today.

Tomorrows game a real 8 point game (or potentially 3-4 pick game).

Way Richmond are playing we are every chance of beating them last round.

Apparently it was a 12 possie 3 goal 2nd quarter, talk about tearing a game apart.

Imagine him at u/18 level.

Guess we will see in the championships, if they ever happen

I’m crossing my fingers and hoping they happen, a lot needs to go right for them to happen though.

Me love you long time."

Cmon North!

Losing any game sucks, but we need to look at the bigger picture here.

 

[eldorado]

We're not getting the spoon, folks.

North need to win their last two to get ahead of us.

happens too often to be coincidence

They tanked so well yesterday. Early blitz then just let the Tiges open the floodgates after half time with ease.

Exactly.

I would not be in the least surprised if we win another two games.

[Big Hotdog]

The tank needed to hit it with more speed.

That is what happens when when you are not good enough!The team can keep up for 2 or 3 quarters and then the cream rises to the top when the other team is running out of petrol tickets!That is not tanking !!!
