It's unlikely we'll drop our Captain this week when he is on the cusp of such a significant milestone - when he becomes the 36th Hawk to rack up the double ton in the brown and gold.
Sure, 2020 hasn't been his best (understatement) - but, he is still a triple premiership player and loyal...
A bit of me wants Geelong to make it through to the big dance as I reckon they have more likelihood of losing the grand final than would a Richmond. But, them losing tonight would satisfy as well.
Here's hoping we see lots of this on Friday night and Sic gets to celebrate his 50th game in the mighty Brown and Gold with an emphatic win (and a clean rap sheet.)
Was gonna leave this one for you to kick off Agent Smith but 'you snooze, you lose...'
Although, you'd probably say it's not up to you to organise your own party. ;)
Isaac has perhaps struggled a little this year without his running partner Hill, but hopefully he is building to a strong...
I figured we can change the title once game 300 is imminent but in the meantime...
This weekend he will equal the great Kelvin Moore for games played with the number 15 on his back.
Should Hodge play out all the remaining 2017 H&A games (assuming no finals for the moment), he will be on 306...
We didn't seem to have an official autopsy thread to allow the concentration of teeth-gnashing and all things doom and gloom.
Here it is. :'(
Will we be next week's version of the Gold Coast and respond in dramatic form to the inevitable media bashing (or will it be more like unabated glee?)...
I may be a premature speculator in posting this thread prior to QF team selection. ;)
I do hope that Ryan cracks the ton sometime over the next 2-4 weeks.
Whilst his value to the team is a polarising topic you just have have to admire his tenacity in sticking tough through his injuries and his...
Last weekend against the Gold Coast Suns, we successfully maintained our unbeaten record (8 games) against them. It got me thinking about our history of winning and losing streaks against all clubs.
The following tables are the result of that curiousity.
I must acknowledge afltables...
Note: Top 8 = T8 , Bottom 10 = B10
I was getting a little tired of hearing how awesome North are, sitting atop the ladder with an unblemished record. I get it that you can only play who you're drawn to play but there's certainly a fair bit of disparity in how many games current T8 teams have...
C'mon Hawkers... get on board and vote up the Hawks in this People's Choice award.
Vote early, vote often! (Note: Voting for the ABC Sports Personality of the Year and Team of the Year closes 17 February at 12pm AEDT.)

PS: and perhaps vote for anyone but Fyfe in...
WTF! - Just heard the audio on SEN. Unbelievable.
Edit: He's talking to KB now putting it into a bit more context but still, he could have chosen his words better.
NOTES:
a) Ladder is sorted on total matches missed, then by number of charges, then alphabetically.
b) The trophy is named in honour of Dustin Fletcher who, after his Round 20 (2013) guilty plea, holds the dubious AFL record for the most times (16) found guilty of an offence.
Club..... Matches...
Apropos of nothing in particular... other than showing just how awesome we are!
As at the end of Round 17, 2015 there are 122 players in the whole comp who have hit double figures in the goal-kicking stakes. 63 are from the current top 8.
Here's a summary of the top 8. The full, detailed...
Stupid, click bait rubbish.
We were supposedly interested in Harvey 3 years ago and that for some reason should still extrapolate to the here and now?
The actual article (by super scoop Barrett) then speculates that any number of clubs may be interested if Harvey chose to call Scott's bluff...
So, we're into the back third of the season. 7 rounds to go. I've had a look at the comparable challenges facing the current top 10 teams all hoping for finals action.
It's really going to be fascinating watching the remainder of the H&A rounds unfold. The AFL bwanas must be creaming...
Sadly, one of favourite threads, “Buddy's developing place on the All-Time Ladder”, no longer has any real relevance to us here. There were numerous calls to replace it with a focus on the loyal players(*) who have remained with the Hawks.
So, here it is! An ambitious attempt to track the...
Are you curious to know how your club is faring in the weekly intrigue of “Wheel of Fortune MRP Chook Lotto”? Well, wonder no more dear friends. I present to you the……..
MRP Ladder, 2013 edition
The winning club is awarded the prestigious Dustin Fletcher Cup
And after Round 20 the ladder...
Interesting interview/discussion on ABC today. Greg De Moore spent years researching the life of the flamboyant and brilliant Tom Wills, Australia's first superstar sportsman.
You can listen to the interview or download the mp3...
Mods - hope this is an appropriate thread to start up. Thought it might be useful to have a possible 'clearing house' for people to offer lifts/car pooling etc to others in the same city/region.
I'll kick things off:
I am Canberra-based. Planning to drive Friday, leaving early morning to...

Seriously.... his nickname has to be Jenny right? :D
I can't even remember if we had a Hawk contender this year
I've just been looking at the 'quarter wins' stats on the AFL's ladder page:
http://www.afl.com.au/ladder/tabid/74/default.aspx
We have blitzed the second quarters this year (winning 11/12). Weagles and Pies are next best with 8/11)
We are very ordinary with the 1st and 3rd quarters...
First time thread!
I was just looking at the AFL player stats page http://www.afl.com.au/stats/tabid/73/default.aspx#page=player
and sorted on goals kicked.
Interesting to note that of the top 22 goalkickers Buddy and Cyril both lead the average tackle count. Hard work leads to the...
