Hawthorn midfielder Will Langford, signed this week to a new four-year deal, hopes to start making his way back into the senior side through the VFL this weekend. Langford, whose season has been interrupted by niggling injuries, expects to play his first game in several weeks having overcome a...

Out: Hale Sewell Ross IN: McEvoy Langford Hill.

I think its pretty safe to say that the 3 teams at this point of time that look to be fighting it out for this years premiership are Hawthorn Geelong and Sydney. 95% of the time you win the midfield battle you win the match...Damn you Grand Final So how does our midfield stack up with the best...

Half asleep listening to SEN Sunday morning they had a discussion about Brad Sewell and whether it was in his best interest to seek a trade to another club next year. It got me thinking whats in Hawthorns best interests! Sewell has been an absolute warrior for the football club and a...

I'm not too sure what to make of our form when we come off a weeks rest. On the past two occasions (finals & bye) we have played quite poorly on our return. After the Collingwood finals game last year, our form dropped and we never regained it. The only thing that changed was an injury to Whitey...

Hey fellas, I will be missing my first game for the year in Melbourne because my idiotic mate decided to get married on Preliminary final day....seriously questioning ending our friendship. Is there any sites that offer streaming on the net through the mobile phone platform?

There has been a lot of talk about our midfield brigade, no doubt it lacks pace, but one thing that has gone missing in all this is that it also lacks size. Our midfielders have been bullied by the bigger midfielders of the opposition recently namely Tuck 189 and 92 kgs, Kennedy 188 and 92...

He's out of contract at Collingwood this year...for those who don't know him he's Collingwoods head recruiter, He's done an absolutely brilliant job at the Magpies, he's probably the the best recruiter in the game currently. With Pelchen standing down it may be time for us to throw our cheque...

Just going through its list i don't see any players of aboriginal decent apart from Troy Taylor who has gone back home. I find it odd that in a celebration of aboriginal contribution to the game that only one side will be fielding aboriginal players. I understand that the jumpers represent...

I think we all saw yesterday what Lewis is capable off and why he is being played out of position, in any other side he would be a starting inside midfielder. Last night Mitchell was out, Lewis was used in the guts and dominated. The Hawthorn football club has made him lose weight and...

How embarrassing, a nuf nuff pretending to be important.......Tom Harley as coach :thumbsd: http://www.bomberblitz.com/News/1271/clarkson-don-t-make-plans-at-hawthorn-for-2012 http://www.bomberblitz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=60866

The Football landscape is changing, different game plans, new rules, new teams etc..... and in tune with these changes so has the recruitment philosophies of football clubs such as Collingwood and Sydney who dabbled in recruitment from Ireland, Hawthorn - New Zealand, Essendon-USA and lastly...

I thought i'd have a look at the drafts from 2005 to 2008 following the thread on the main board re; Wayne Hughes Carlton recruiting Manager. On that board an Eseendon supporter stated that Pelchen was a gun. I thought i'd look a little deeper to see how much of a gun he really is. I thought...

Yesterday I was watching Melbourne very closely....... play on at all costs, exciting ball movement, playing to their teams strengths and not worrying about the opposition, moving the ball quickly and directing it through the corridor and straight into the forwards where they had one on ones. A...

First and foremost this is just my opinion, I blame boredom and the anticipation to the Sydney game .......so please be gentle. :) Now I understand that many variables apply to our future side, such as future drafts, form, injuries, retirements, delistings etc. How well are we placed for the...

The forgotten man I thought was our best defender last night. played his best game for the year, made all the right decisions, correctly executed his skills and defended very well. I think he may have wandered through this board and got a little jealous about all the love for Stratton.

Well I'm quite bored and its silly season. So I thought id share in the festivities. Garland or Frawley for pick 9 and Thorp or Dowler. Now i think we're offering quite a bit but we are getting a young gun defender in return, depending on which tall is traded it still leaves us with one...

When Jeff first took over at Hawthorn I thought we had replaced Dicker a passionate emotional president with Kennett a robotic unemotional leader who thought nothing more of Hawthorn than just a business and another life experience. At yesterdays game I finally saw Kennett show some real raw...

Obviously yesterday Worsfold hinted that pick 5 or 6 may be on the table for a small forward, he intends to move Le Cras up into the midfield and replace him with an established flanker pocket type. Williams i think fits his replacement( fast leading forward nice hands and an accurate kick, he's...

I think we should.....he's a Ruckman trapped in a non existent forward line at the Kangaroos (basically being played out of position) much like Paul Salmon was before coming to Hawthorn. He has very good skills nice mobility a great set of hands and is still reasonably young......I think he'd...

First I'd like to say i'm a massive Birchall fan......he's an absolute weapon. Following on from the other trend of posts about Murphy and his inability to stand his ground in marking contests i chose to have a look at Birchall and how he fares in one on one contests. For a player standing at...

*edit* And no, I'm not talking about hitting up Pelchens wife as my thread title suggests. :o Pelchen is widely regarded as one of the best recruiters around in AFL circles within Hawthorn and by the majority of our supporters he can do no wrong........since i'm bored sh*tless id like to see...

Why the hell did we leave Renouf out when we knew we were going to be up against 2 athletic Ruckman........... In effect Essendon was playing with an extra midfielder, there was no way in hell Taylor was ever going to keep up with Ryder. Renouf has next to none attacking ability at the...

Hawthorn's 2008 premiership gave it the best strike rate of any club in the ratio of finals played to premierships won,edging ahead of Melbourne,whose drought of premierships extents back to 1964. Club..............Flags..................Finals.......Rate Hawthorn...

I am having a bit of a debate with a mate regarding merges or relocating, my opinion is i would rather my club relocating, to survive, rather than merging with another club. So I'm asking, Is there any difference between two clubs merging or one club relocating, for example the brisbane/fitzroy...

HAWTHORN has told the Sydney Swans it would consider any one of more than a dozen premiership players as a swap for Ryan O'Keefe. Sources said last night the Hawks had said only seven of the premiership 22 were off limits. When Sydney nominated a player, coach Alastair Clarkson apparently...

THE Hawthorn Football Club's climb up the AFL ladder has again been emphatically matched by the club's off-field success with the awarding of a multimillion-dollar gaming-machine licence at Caroline Springs...

Just on SEN Mitchell has been charged with a level 2 offense, but because of his great record he will only recieve a reprimand. The only downfall with this is that he is now ineligible for the Brownlow because of the seriousness of the charge. So either Hawthorn fights it and risks a one...

Ohh dear, The oldest club in the land has supporters with less passion than the Fremantle Dockers, this is clear indication something is seriously wrong with the fabric of this football club. Kennett comes out during the week and states that the Melbourne FC won't survive if they don't...

AS LANCE "Buddy" Franklin lined up for a set-shot at goal, a trio of opponents scurried into position. They formed a line along Buddy's left from the man standing the mark foxing, waiting as though for the flag to drop to charge at him. It was as if Franklin was on the right-hand point post and...
