2024 Picks

[VicBased]

Is your surname Cousins?

No.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

My two were told they could barrack for another team if they wanted to, so long as it wasn't Essendon.

They are both Hawks now but given their age it turns out they hate Geelong more than Essendon.

Mine were told they could barrack for anyone they liked once they protested. They were shocked at my response of freedom of choice.

Then added if you do not barrack for Hawthorn then, you don’t go to games All Hawks since then!

Similar , mine were allowed to choose at birth and all chose hawthorn. I’ve even said they can change teams if they are happy to change address at the same time. None have taken up the offer.

 

[DrkNyt]

My son is 1, and he doesn't have a choice to support us, and if he did have one, I'm certain he would've come to his senses.
He's already a member too

 

[The Kipster]

I have a mate's son (13 at the time, a Freo supporter) Dad can I change clubs? (The Dad is a Hawk) You can, but he stated that you require a reasonable explanation. "How about 13yrs of heart break?". Welcome son

 

[Clarkos_Soldier]

I don't have any kids but if I ever do they'll enter the world like this.

 

[Atch]

We've also got mad dog Hustwaite waiting in the wings. Another pre season under he's belt he might start banging down the door for games you never know...

 

[I got the outside word]

My eldest is 7 and has been a member for 8 years consecutively. The next too are 5 with 6 years and 2 with 3 years.

My Mum is a mad Tigers supporter but knew she didn’t stand a chance so she has been buying their memberships as a gift since conception.

The AFLW Hawks have done some heavy lifting for my nieces. They go to every home game down in Frankston and love it.

My mum and sisters have been trying to steal my kids to the saints. Took my boy to Moorabin for AFLW round 4, He came back singing the Hawks song and asking "why do the saints lose all the time?".

 

[VandoHawk]

F1, 32, F4 to Richmond for 18 + F3.

Seems a lot (it is) but if there’s a player like Weddle we like I could see us pulling the trigger on a similar trade.

Would require said player to be available for the live trade.

My 7yr old would tell his little brother that if he doesn’t follow the Hawks he can’t be in our family.

Mr 5 was pretty keen on the Tigers until I took all 3 to the second Richmond game and he saw the Hawks slaughter them, now he’s a Hawk and knows the Tigers are “really bad”.

My daughter had been flirting with being a Collingwood supporter due to a school friend, she came with me to the EF against the Dogs and she’s absolutely rusted on now.

On afl.com.au the ‘final frantic 10 minutes’ was just footage if Mackie strutting up and down the corridor at Marvel

Pur the tic

Hawthorn AFL is great to watch right now

Tell me more about ‘choosing at birth?’

This is the reason AFLW is so important. Gillon left a great legacy here.

I like the idea of having Carlton’s F1 and F2 intact next year when Bruest, Gunston retire

 

[Harper_Hawk]

I went with my 9 year old Carlton supporting son to the Hawks v Carlton game this year. Well we know what happened. Still no sway.
So I did something I’ve never done before in my life and went to a game that didn’t involve the Hawks. We went with my oldest son whose a Hawk and the 9year old to the Carlton v Stkilda at marvel. It was truly a strange experience being at the footy with no brown and gold. But I did get to witness up close how pathetic and annoying St Kilda supporters are. We know how that game ended.
So after the game I said to the 9 year old what’s it going to take to sway you to the Hawks. He said .. only if Crippa gets traded to the Hawks. I said Ok I’ll ring M.Voss at the club and speak to him. He said…can you do that dad.
I had to laugh.

Well, can you?

On another point who do they think they are fooling? The AFL

All this ‘last minute activity’ when every time they showed any recruiters they were sat twiddleing their thumbs (or on bigfooty)

Or footage of Mackie patrolling the corridors of marvel

My son told me at age 8 that he was going to barrack for StKilda, the year they lost to Pies in the replay. I promptly told him that's fine but asked where he was going to live?
He returned, obviously after much thought, 'Dad, i think I'll make StKilda my second team."
"Wise choice son." I replied, knowing full well that they would always make us look great.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

You guys are lousy parents
My three boys are all HFC members
Even the one with no interest in football says he supports Hawks
The other two are fanatics

Mate, as soon as he had a name he had a Hawks membership. Kept pestering my wife to commit to the name choice so I could sign him up.

Same with my two kids!

Daughter is a 5 year member at 4 years old (born sept 2020) and son signed up when he was born 12 weeks ago.

Daughter tries to rile me up by telling me she likes every team except Hawks, but she's not gonna get a choice in the long run lol

Told my boys - there’s no such thing as second teams !
There’s only Hawthorn - end of story

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Idk if it is a sign of how nuff me/my family is but there was never a possibility of me or my siblings supporting anyone else.
