I don't think that's quite fair on Chol. He has proven that he can be an influential player at AFL level. I think that being out favour with Hardwick at the Tigers and then shoved aside to make way for younger, developing forwards at the Gold Coast would leave a player feeling perplexed and...

Thanks for your solid contribution The_Axeman. I've looked forward and thoroughly enjoyed your reports over the years. . Your training reports read like a well written novel, its emotive and it draws you in. It's quite a talent and it's going be sorely missed around here. . Best of luck in...

Couldn't help but shed a tear when his name got called out. Well done young man. Your dad would be so proud.

Don't get me wrong, I like McCabe and I'm certain he'll turn to be a good player. The comparison wasn't based on talent but merely just the physical development between the two players at this point. Curtin is plug and play and ready to go whereas I think McCabe might need a bit more bulking up.

Problem is McCabe is very slight of frame and is at least a couple of preseasons away to have an AFL ready frame. Curtin is a 98 kg manchild and is ready to hit the ground running.

I'm prepared for the daggers aimed toward me with this opinion. I'm not here to try to get a rise from anyone but here it goes I think for the draft price we paid, Watson needs to be a Cyril type talent. My preference was Curtin- I feel his assets will translate better in AFL. If he fails as a...

As a long time Hawthorn supporter I'm used to us getting the arse end of the fixture, gameday umpiring, tribunal decisions, All Australian selections, biased reporting from media the list goes on ... It's a given if you choose to follow this almighty team. It's like we're being handicapped for...

I'll put it out there that I think we'll beat the following teams next season: Eagles Beggaroos Freo Tigers Cats Dons Dogs Pies Saints That's a possible 9 wins, need another 4 from the double ups. So yes I think we will play finals.

Fair point. It was an incorrect use of a metaphor.

I like the look of O'Sullivan. Tall, big body, 92kegs. Marking and intercept type defender. Could well be developed as a stoppage/ gorilla. Might might well be a diamond in the rough.

Ease up fella, there's no need to get worked up. All I'm saying is that it's a bigger risk to take when using up a top 5 pick on a small forward. These types could be picked up in the late teens or further down.in the draft. It's merely an opinion and I'm entitled to express mine without...

Nice one, I know what you're getting at. I can name only 2 players in the AFL right now with Watson's stature that are better than average. Caleb Daniel and Kozzy Pickett. Two players within the entire AFL populous that are the exception rather than the rule. My point is a player like DGB...

Other than Reid, I don't know much about the the draftees. It's all a speculative pick anyway until they pull up a jumper for a senior AFL game and keep that form for the majority of the year. But if was a choice between Watson or Duursma- I would take the bigger, taller player everytime...

From an optimistic perspective, the addition of Maboir and Ginnivan together should reap at least 50+ goals to the yearly tally. If we had close to a similar season injury wise in 2024 - it wouldn't be out the of the realms of possibility for the team to be pushing for a spot in the eight. As...

Welcome to the Mighty Hawks Maboir. May you have a long and successful career at Hawthorn. Don't hold back, give us everything you've got! Best of luck big fella.
