    How do we turn it around???

    I'd like to address these points. I appreciate and love the uncompromising, "NO EXCUSES!" philosophy you'd like to see the club - particularly our defensive unit - embrace, but I think it would be unwise and unrealistic to embrace it as tightly as you've described above. We have to...

    Effective kick-in percentage?

    I think Dragz is on the money. With our much scorned playing of personnel out of position combined with the defensive press and zoning, our half of the ground just ends up a stewish clusterf*ck. It's quite hard to find loose targets or lead into space when an opposition number is camped every...

    Brad Sewell

    Couldn't agree more. We're very one paced. I've said in a couple of different threads that I don't think Hilly got enough of a chance to prove himself against the Weagles. If Smith isn't fit he'd be the logical inclusion for mine... Personally I'd prefer both though. Also, to clarify my...

    Brad Sewell

    I see Sewelly as an integral part of Hawthorn's best twenty two, however, I think he should be given a spell. Lots of people have touched on Brad's biggest strength - his competitiveness. He flogs himself week in and week, throws himself into the contest with reckless zeal and will generally do...

    Hit outs.

    I disagree. I don't dispute that our ruckmen aren't excellent at tapping the ball to advantageous space, but I don't think that's primarily their fault. The problem, as I see it - and discussed in painful detail in Hodge2Franklin's thread - is that our midfield sets up poorly at stoppages. To...

    Another Rumour - Travis Cloke - Massive offer by Fremantle

    Sorry to intrude, but I felt compelled to let y'all know that not all opposition supporters hate Eddie and most of us certainly don't envy Collingwood for his presence. Admittedly, I can't stand Ed's media persona. I think the reason most opposition supporters find him distasteful is because...

    Gerard Whateley on Hawthorn

    This. At this point of the season Sydney are a superior outfit to us. We're in a bad spot at the moment and there's no point denying that. What matters is who's the 'tangibly better football team' heading into finals, of course, but at this point in time Gerard is on the money.

    OK enoughs a enough.

    Couldn't have said it better, Bosk :thumbsu: Alarmist talk will always fly thick and fast after a rough trot, but responding to the alarmist talk with alarmist talk won't unify the club. Just keep it together, girls and boys! :)

    Is there a team that brings more community cheer than Hawthorn?

    Soon, my brethren... Soon...

    Where would you play Lance Franklin?

    In between the goal square and fifty-five meters out. Has to play in the forward line permanently. Just has to.

    Is there more to Buddy's game than meets the eye?

    I laughed :D

    Is there more to Buddy's game than meets the eye?

    Sh*t yes! Gotta get the selfish, cherry-picker out of the brown and gold before he poisons us any further. I'll get on the phone to Clarko about Danny Motlop. I'm sure we can sort out a "brown paper bag" arrangement and get him down to Glenferrie as a canteen lady or something. Then...

    Rioli overrated?

    Yeah, Rioli is overrated. Anything else?

    Why does Joel Selwood make you mad?

    I like Joel Selwood. :thumbsu:

    Is there more to Buddy's game than meets the eye?

    Buddy is overrated. I admit it. We should probably cut him loose. How would you feel about a straight swap- Franklin to Geelong for Steven Motlop? Geelong have a really strong culture and I feel you guys could probably iron the selfish, squibish elements out of his game far better than us...
