    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn, Chad Wingard. 200 games! Announces retirement (2 Sept 2024)

    I have to admit, i thought Chad was a talented tool when he was at Port. However, after hearing him being interviewed i have changed my idea! I sound like an old fart, but what a well spoken young bloke!

    Preview Round 8, 2017: Hawthorn vs Brisbane, 13th May 2017, 1:45pm @ UTAS

    For mine, Poppy just looks all out of sorts and with our forward entries against the Dees, shouldn't have provided more. I'm glad you mentioned Poppy. I don't recall him playing to his usual standard this season at all, so maybe a spell at Box Hill is required. If that's the case, then Stewart...

    Fitzpatrick

    I am very pleased that Fitz kicked that great goal against the Pies, but did anyone notice his high ball drop! I know he's tall, but there's a lot of room for error between his hand and foot. Mind you, the Hawks have had their share of players with a terrible kicking style - I am old enough to...

    Hodge hate

    I have a bunch of mates that support Carlton/Collingwood/Essendon/North Melb and whenever they have criticised one of the Hawks, I have simply responded with "would you like him playing for your team"? I am usually greeted with a massive backdown and "well, yes...of course I would". Hodgey cops...

    Bob Murphy

    Bob Murphy my favourite non-Hawk by a long way. A beautiful mover on the footy field who plays with skill and flair. All the best to one the games genuine 'good blokes':thumbsu:

    Opinion Is Tim O'Brien facing a make or break year in 2016?

    I asked a good mate who has worked in the AFL for a number of clubs, "who will be the better player in 5 years - O'Brien or Sicily?". Without hesitation he said Sicily. He's got all the ingredients to be a 200 game player for the Hawks. He reckoned O'Brien lacks a bit of ticker. Maybe O'Brien...

    Is Hawthorn too great for its own good?

    Agree. I caught up with a good mate the day after the GF. He is a lifelong supporter the Bulldogs and in his 50+ years he has never seen them make a GF, let alone win one. We chatted about the 2015 GF and he said, "do you realise how fortunate you are? You are a supporter of one of the best...

    Sweetest grand final win the last 3 years?

    Of the last three, the 2014 flag against Sydney gets my vote. It was an incredible year for the Hawks where they overcame immense adversity. Buddy (one of the most dynamic players of the past decade) left for Sydney, Clarko was struck down with a debilitating illness and out of action for 5...

    Autopsy Hawks vs The Dockers - pick over the stinkin' wharfie cadaver here.

    Our best performance since the 2014 GF (although round 1 against the Cats was pretty good too!). Great to see Big Boy do so well. However, one of the best things about the win was that it underlined (again!) that to win a GF you need to kick a winning score, not just be content to hold the...

    Is the cliff coming....

    The Hawks currently have a brilliant team and have done extremely well over the past 7 seasons - possibly only matched by our great rival in that time, Geelong. We have great depth and if we can keep certain players on our list, we will remain competitive over the next 3-5 years. However I...

    Hawks players you miss from the game

    Joel Smith - tick! Such a consistent player who always had time on the ball! Chance Bateman - tick! Something positive happened when the ball was in his hands. One of my favourite memories of the 2008 GF was Chance kicking the first goal!

    Preview Round 3, 2015: Hawthorn v Western Bulldogs, 19 April 2015 @ Aurora Stadium

    Very excited to be flying down to Launceston with a good mate (and long suffering Bulldog supporter!) to see my first game at Aurora Stadium :) Also pretty happy to see Whitey and Hartung in the squad...and expecting for a solid win! GO HAWKS!

    Game Day Hawthorn v Sydney Swans, MCG, 7.40pm

    Against my dear wife's wishes I am dragging my sorry, sick ass to the MCG tonight. It is a big game and I am nervous as hell, but I feel a higher calling...is it Hodgey or Clarko?? Praying for a win :thumbsu:

    Best Premiership Ever in 2014...?

    IF the Hawks were to win the premiership in 2014, would it be our best? I know at this stage of the season it is big IF, but taking into account the injuries (Mitchell, McEvoy, Rioli, Gibbo, Lake, Stratton, etc.) and Clarko going down with Guillian-Barre (sp?) and being out of action for 5...

    Your 10 most disliked players

    Geez, can't believe I left Hawkins out of this list! I can't stand him. All floppy, hair foppish on-the-toes run, and college boy looks. And he kicked that 'after-the-siren' goal. Should be cremated!
