    Opinion Did Lance Franklin play better football at Hawthorn or Sydney?

    Here's a good breakdown from an informed Hawks fan with an 01 join date:

    AFL Tables fans are posers.

    Opinion Did Lance Franklin play better football at Hawthorn or Sydney?

    Hawks, IMO. As for the specific year? Either 2008 or 2011. He played deeper/closer to goal in 2008, was more athletic and mobile, and was a better overhead and contested marker. He injured his thumb and shoulder after that and was never quite the same at marking the ball. He played higher up...

    Autopsy AFL 2024 Preliminary Final - Swans v Port Fri Sept 20th 7:40pm EST (SCG)

    Logan McDonald is so goddamn slow. Such a mediocre athlete. I expect those types to be more skilled natural footballers to compensate but he leaves me unsatisfied.

    Where does Jesse Hogan's 2024 season rank compared to other modern era KPFs?

    Very nice.

    Where does Jesse Hogan's 2024 season rank compared to other modern era KPFs?

    Was it better than any of Curnow's seasons? How does it rank compared to C. Curnow, T. Cloke, J. Kennedy, L. Franklin, J. Reiwoldt, T. Hawkins, J. Roughead, J. Cameron, T. Walker, and T. Lynch? I think that about covers the best KPFs of the 2010s and onward. Jesse seemingly combined Travis...

    Jesse Hogan: 2024 Coleman Medallist

    Great season. Shame he wasn't able to reach this form with Fremantle. Can you imagine a Hogan-Treacy tandem?

    More disappointing era: 03-05 Freo or 22-24 Freo?

    Why would anyone want to discuss one of the worst teams in the AFL? It's been repeated ad nauseam. I think you're acting paranoid. Stop derailing the thread.

    More disappointing era: 03-05 Freo or 22-24 Freo?

    This is a legitimate thread. I noticed several parallels between these two eras, including the final game of the season being a Finals-deciding matchup against Port Adelaide. Not everything has an agenda. Chill.

    More disappointing era: 03-05 Freo or 22-24 Freo?

    Seeing Hogan reach his potential must hurt. It just wasn't meant to be. There's an alternate reality where he's doing this for Freo, they make multiple Finals, and Ross is still the coach.

    How scared are you of St Kilda this year? Original post edited.

    Lost a handful of close games. Some to very good sides. Bounced back well to end the season. Expect them to rebound next year.

    More disappointing era: 03-05 Freo or 22-24 Freo?

    Both began with breakout Finals appearances, followed up with disappointing seasons of missing the eight. If I'm not mistaken, the Chris Connolly era was seen as a talented list underperforming and not meeting expectations. They turned it around in the back half of 2006, finished in the top...
