I know it's probably been mentioned already, but the fact your club extended Ken's contract is absolutely mind boggling. Does anyone here know why Ken's contract was extended? Over on the Crows board, it's been mentioned by someone 'in the know' that Ken has a performance clause in his...

Interesting thread. Collingwood have the more feral supporters, but we have more feral supporters than them.

True, which is why I'm surprised to know Geelong supporters were watching our Best and Fairest this year, especially after they've just won a flag.

It's already been 4 years since Hawthorn played finals, and last time they opted for the scorched Earth rebuild saw them miss finals for 5 years before making it back into the top 8. This time, however, it'll likely be at least another 3 years before they're playing finals again, and there's no...

I'd be worried if Hardwick started to become placid and lose his passion. Look at Ken Hinkley, who hasn't shown passion for some time now, with his own captain saying "we lost the fire in the belly" this year. If anyone from our club said "we lost the fire in the belly" I wouldn't be too...

Hawthorn benefited greatly from the old priority pick system, along with Fremantle being stupid enough to trade pick 1 in possibly the greatest draft of all time which everyone knew was going to be a superdraft. With the old priority pick system gone, along with the draft order being diluted by...

I don't see any problem with what he said, especially when taking into account where it was when he mentioned our track record against Geelong in finals. Also, it's not like Hardwick said we've beaten Geelong when it matters like Kennett did.

13 of their 15 cups had to be handed out retrospectively by the AFL so their trophy cabinet wouldn't be a joke.

Jesse Motlop looks to be a talented small forward. Pittonet and De Koning aren't great, but Stanley and Blicavs aren't great either, and that ruck combo just won the flag.

Melbourne have the list to win at least another couple of flags if they get it together on field, their second half of 2022 was a mess caused by too much bathwater being consumed, but I'd back them in to get their mojo back next year.

6 of the top 10 posters with the most posts in this thread are Geelong supporters. You guys just won the flag, why do you care what Hardwick thinks?

Sydney (2 wins 5 losses) and Collingwood (2 wins 1 draw 4 losses) are the biggest grand final chokers in the modern era. Geelong are lucky they got to play Sydney and Collingwood in grand finals, oh and St Kilda and Port Adelaide before that too.

How does this thread have nearly 1000 replies? It was a comment Hardwick made at the Best and Fairest, speaking to the Richmond faithful. What did people expect him to say? That we were no chance of winning the premiership this year? Also have to laugh at those people comparing it to Kennett's...
