    Paul Roos - Shouldn't you be in Hawaii?

    Maybe I've missed something here, but Paul Roos spent all of last season explaining how he has spent his entire career in Australia at the expense of his wife who is drawn back to her home country. That's why he can't coach anymore. Time for her to be close to her family etc etc. Now all of a...

    Tactics and the Evolution of the Game

    There has been much discussion over the last 12 months or so about the state of the game relating specifically to stoppages, defence and lack of scoring. The game evolves organically and this time around that evolution has been a little slower to shift. As the season nears completion we've...

    Analysis Adam Goodes - the gentle art of making enemies

    There seems like quite a bit of discussion in the game day thread on this topic. Quite simply Adam Goodes is a dirty player. He trips and he dives, but is afforded an out by his standing in the game, as well as his efforts in reversing trends in racism. I commend him for the former but...

    Roast Goal kicking

    Our conversation rate in front of goal got noticeably better post 2012 GF but we've really slipped away this year. Gunston and Breust are missing really easy goals by their standards. I don't think we have being playing much bad football this year and given the fall of other top four aspirants...

    Neutral Supporters; Are you comfortably satisfied?

    I've listened to a fair bit of media yesterday and I'm just blown away with the response to the 'not guilty' verdict. Everyone seems to think Essendon are vindicated? Hird has apologised and now we forgive him? I don't blame the players and I'm happy for them to clear their names, but the club...

    Hawthorn got cold feet on drafting Jonothon Brown

    Just seen on a preview for open Mike. Done deal to Hawthorn apparently. Hawks backed out so he took the gauranteed FS offer to the lions. I'm not going to sit here and think what have could been. But interested to hear the full story once it airs.

    List Mgmt. Managing retirements.

    I sense the club has gone the all in option in regards to managing our senior players. Burgoyne, Mitchell, Gibson, Hodge, Sewell and Hale are all out of contract at the end of next season. Lake should be able to get a 12 month extension so he will also fit into that bracket. Should they play...

    Analysis 35 players used - 30 played 6 or more games.

    Going back and having a look at our list I'm amazed at the depth that we have. 30 players to play 6 or more games is incredible, further to that assuming Lake plays at least one more game that will be 27 players to have played more than 10 games. Just a fantastic spread of games will ensure...

    Preview Hawks vs $wans - Changes & Discussion. Light refreshments and Cola being served.

    So we have the bye next week and a nice little refresher before we play Sydney at the MCG on Saturday night the 26th July. Gibson has been earmarked to return for this game and you would have thought Hartung will come straight back in. Likewise Brad Hill. Sewell probably needs another week I...

    Overreaction to Injuries

    A lot has been made of the injuries on the weekend by the media. Bit over the top in my view. I mean seriously, Lake has barely played a game and whilst we did miss him against Geelong, we now have Schoenmakers back to help out in defence. Mitchell IMO has been our best player for some time and...

    Hawthorn - Fantasy, Dreamteam, Supercoach etc discussion - please keep it all in this thread

    Most people would be starting to assemble their teams by now so ask any relevant questions here... From a Hawthorn perspective I usually like to avoid our players but there are quite a few that I like this year. Who I'm watching; Suckling - Did his knee early last year so getting as close to...

    Xavier Ellis

    Any news on if there is any interest in Xavier? Was a favourite of Clarksons's but 16 games in 3 seasons has probably stretched the friendship. Ellis reminds me a bit of Jesse W Smith from NM. Could have been anything but just couldn't get on the park. It just seems to be the same old story...

    On the Couch - Paul Roos Goneski

    I'm as happy as a Melbourne supporter at the moment because Monday night TV has now become watchable. No longer will I have to put up with the continued bias that is 'Swan the Couch' Come on down Michael Voss!

    Demetrio - we'd talk to Franklin about an ambassador role in Melbourne

    Very interesting comment from Demetrio about Franklin On 360... Quote 'if he wanted to be an ambassador for football in Melbourne we would sit down and talk to him' Hawks could be more than competitive with an offer now.

    Preview Hawthorn vs. Israel - Aurora Stadium 3:40pm Saturday 3rd March.

    Here is our chance to see our youngsters play after they all missed out last weekend. Surely it was the plan to play a half strength side given our opposition? Not to sell them short, GWS looked good in their first hitout but will be in for some sort of a shock when those young bodies have to...

    Competitions Dreamteam & Supercoach - All Questions on HFC players in here.

    It's that time of year again, do your best to answer any questions coming in from other clubs about our players. Birchall, Suckling, Mitchell, Franklin and Hodge and all guns but will be expensive. I like the look of Savage to kick on and play the whole season. He kicks goals and has looked...

    Your team - Inside info on DT

    Preview NAB Cup - Round 1. Hawthorn v North Melbourne v Richmond. Etihad Stadium 17th Feb 6:45pm.

    I can't believe we're almost here... Just one month away from the NAB Cup. So we have drawn Richmond and North Melbourne, who seem to be in constant debate over 'best young list'. Whilst they continue to pump up their tyres I will be expecting Woodward to deflate them with just a few...

    GWS vs Gold Coast. Who will be the more successful side?

    I know GWS still have a few rookie selections to make, but we can make reasonable judgement on who has the best list and ultimately who will hold up the most cups in the next decade or so. Key Position GWS have the best key position players of the two sides. Please argue if you disagree but...

    Hawks - won't select KPP in National Draft.

    Just about every phantom has Hawthorn taking a key position player. Why? Same thing happened last year and we went for speed, our obvious weekness. This year we traded for one of the best available in Gunstan instead of drafting someone who won't play for 3 years. Largely caused by media, an...

    Is David Hale in our best 22?

    We have recruited a top 22 tall from trade week and expect to gain two more talls in Gilham & Roughead early on in the season. For those that arn't good at maths that's an additional 3 talls from our last side that was 3 points away from a Grand Final. Surely this is way too top heavy? Max...

    Mega Thread 2012 Fixture: Pros and Cons

    This is beyond outrage. How can this happen AGAIN!? The last Brisbane game was in round 5 in 2008! The game where Buddy & Bradshaw both kicked 8 goals. Bradshaw you say? Didn’t he retire years ago? So after almost 1000 days of no Hawthorn in Queensland we get the token game of Gold Coast, last...

    Hawthorn - Finished in 2011 apparently...

    I cannot believe how easily Hawthorn have been written off in the space of a few days. I know there is the usual BF banter but beyond that, the media have been out of control both on air and in news articles, all because of a 31 point loss. Pretty much what can be learned from last friday...

    Roast Not live in Brisbane... AGAIN!!!

    Last week the Hawks game was not live on free to air or Foxtel. Instead it was on Sevens 'Mate' channel. Seriously who the frik wants to watch better homes and gardens? Not everyone has digital tv, and in my case i'am lucky to have foxtel but because I don't have the HD option I can't access...
