Recuperating Powers of Hawthorn
It is starting to become uncanny. We all agree that thanks to the trainers, the Hawks are an elite fitness group. But let's not forget the ability to get players healthy: Cyril Rioli: hamstrings were killing him. The club literally retrained his running gate WTF. He has come back as one of the... -
Jonathan O'Rourke
Ok so he's highly rated. Got picked up 2nd in the draft and GWS risked him by getting him to move state. Again, highly rated so they took a gamble. Then he did his hammies (did a hammie before getting drafted as well). Broke a jaw. Did nothing in the two years with the Giants. Now we have him... -
2014....can we improve?
Some will fade, some will go, but I reckon there's a huge amount of players that will improve next year and give us a good chance to have another crack. Will Improve - Hill - will just add so much to our squad next year. Could be a real real champ - Schoenmakers - was looking good, will... -
First Use
There's plenty of grief and emotion threads. Can we just talk some tactics for a moment? It seemed like Geelong got first use of the ball all too often. When we got it, we managed to score fairly regularly - but they had first use nearly 60-70% of the time (there's gotta be a stat somewhere)... -
Opinion The REAL test is coming
Sydney Swans. Last year's preliminary final against Collingwood showed us up in the forward line - only Buddy as a target (Roughie injured) was pretty limiting. In 08 we had Williams, Dew, Roughead and even Young (even Bateman!) at times. Fast-forward this year we don't even need Buddy in the... -
Wayne, what the? Breust? BREUST!
I was working this Sunday so I got snippets of the game on the MMM radio. Now someone clear this up: Wayne Carey said that Breust was in the game's second best with a few goals and something like 10 score assists. Is this true? Cannot be... Carey had Gibbo at BOG with heaps of spoils and... -
Missing the point - it was our forward line
Hi, Can't remember last time I started a thread - so here goes. Apart from some bad umpiring late in the game, and the odd contested mark that cost us (killed us in the Geelong game too), for mine the biggest problem was our goal kicking options. Contrary to what people on these boards think... -
Muston, dropped off the radar?
Hello all, From memory this kid had 30 odd touches and a goal or two in his first game. Meant to have explosive speed like "Judd". What's happened to this guy. He looked good for mine. -
REALITY check
I'm sick of hearing people say we have injuries thus this is the reason we are losing a game. The REALITY is is that in 2008 we had many players injured througout that year - inlcuding Hodge - yet we still managed to win heaps of games throught the season. 1. The REALITY from then compared to... -
Ben McGlynn will carve us up...
...if we trade him. I never rated him except as someone who gives his all (probably the best attribute a player can have really), but this year his high possession games and the odd goal really impressed me. He's only gonna get better. I say keep him... -
Where can I download the game?
anyone know?...i was listening to it on an ear peice at work!! -
Good place to watch the game this Sunday
Hello boys, any advice as to where i can take a new Hawthorn convert on Sunday. Vermont area (outer East) in Melbourne. Cheers -
Hawks Vs Carlton video download
i worked on Saturday anyone know where's a good download? cheers -
Shots at goal
I heard a statistic that said the Hawks shot at goal 25 times and the Cats 26. Can someone enlighten me if this is true or not? If true, it goes against the perception that Geelong had a huge disproportionate amount of chances. People are claiming that Geelong could have won the game if they... -
What has Jeff Kennett done for us?
Seriously. Dicker came in and saved us from bankruptcy by insuring if one of the banks (NAB from memory) pulled out then the ANZ will take over our loan. Sure enough NAB pulled out and we would have been GONE if it weren't for Dicker's business smarts. Then the membership drive. Remember we...
