    Certified Legendary Thread Discussion arising from Shhhhhh

    I think this refers to a public statement by Gil that the AFL would prefer Cogs to stay where he is. Don't know if there was any further behind the scenes stuff though.

    Preview Roughead Returns - Round 14, 2019: Sydney v Hawthorn, 21 June 2019, 7:50pm AEST @ SCG

    Didn't you see the team sheet? Roughie to (centre) half back! :) As an ex-forward, he has the perfect profile for a modern (post 2015) Hawthorn backman.

    Autopsy Hawthorn defeats Buddy Franklin

    Presumably, in a close season, the theory would have been percentage will be important. Ours is poor, despite the same number of wins as Sydney prior to this game.

    Opinion Hawthorn's Downfall - Diagnosed

    Not actually arguing with your idea, but thought Brad Hill was still under contract and we released him anyway?

    Autopsy Hawks v The Streak.... vomits in mouth

    Well at least we'd know he was trying 100%.

    Pick 66 Paul Puopolo 2010 National Draft

    Cabin shape is very similar to FB/EK I would agree (my mum owned one). But from the decoration on the back flank I think you'll find it is a '57 Chevrolet.

    How did you choose your username?

    'Lurking' because I read a lot more BF posts than I write and 'Hawk' for an obvious reason.

    No Oppo Supporters Sam Mitchell traded

    Now i read we have somehow got pick 10?? What the actual f**k? Pick 10 is positive news. Apparently GC were focusing on our pick 14 and a player as part of the trade, so when 14 went on TOM, it had stalled JOM discussions. Now they can get things moving quickly on Monday, hopefully by centering...

    Opinion The rope-a-dope game plan needs to go

    I was sensing from Clarko's presser that he may be thinking the same thing. His comment about 104 tackles for 3 frees reflects what I have been thinking about this year - holding the ball is pretty much just a random umpiring decision these days. All teams (at least when they are switched on)...

    Opinion The rope-a-dope game plan needs to go

    I'm only assessing Squiggle movement totals by eye, rather than properly measuring as Simon suggests, but it seems West Coast is the most consistent side (at the upper end) and also the Bulldogs (after the first couple of rounds). Brisbane, Fremantle and Essendon look like the most consistent at...

    Game Day Hawthorn v North Melbourne

    Gunston misses a late shot (a la Adelaide match) to set up another 3 point win perhaps?

    5 things you have learnt and 5 things we need for 2016

    I don't doubt the endeavour of our boys; but in the two games that I have seen live this year, falling over after attempting a pressure act was fairly frequent and often fatal.

    From a proud "Band wagoner"

    That was exactly my logic for deciding to follow Hawthorn in 1972. Couldn't go wrong with the current premiers eh? I didn't join until after the 2012 GF. I saw a team that was near to a premiership and seemed to be really organised about addressing the minor problems that would get them to the...

    Preview Round 6, 2016: GWS Giants v Hawthorn, 30 April 2016, 4.35pm @ Spotless Stadium

    Nah, this is next year's problem. In fact I remember Dennis Cometti making essentially the same comment: "This is a team that has won three in a row - premierships that is, not just games".

    No no no, we don't want to be in tune with the 'does that make sense' guy!
