    Preview Round 7, 2024 : Hawks v Swans, 4pm Sunday 28th April, MCG

    Would much rather Gunners than Serong out of the team TBF. They have 3 big forwards and we looked better balanced last week with the extra tall back there. Lewis and Chol is what we should be going with. Blakey doesn't play like a tall he would run off Gunners at will. Need to match their run...

    Situation is the same as Sam Walsh. He hasn't missed a beat since coming back. Day is in the same boat I rekon.

    Ah the good ol' days

    Disagree. It's when the focus to more defense orientated styles started to kick in IMO. They were much better games of footy to watch. Wasn't just all out attack more a balance between the two. Bombers of 2000 blew teams away all year because they were brutal offensively AND defensively. Umps...

    Preview Round 7, 2024 : Hawks v Swans, 4pm Sunday 28th April, MCG

    Not Heeney I would be sending him to Gulden. He will destroy us if we allow him to freewheel all day. If we're any chance he must be clamped. Scrimmers to take Heeney when he drifts forward.

    Autopsy Round 6, 2024 : Hawks skittle Roos

    He gave the impression they were lucky to lose by 40 odd points. Not a whole lot to be positive about except for Curtis and Combden. Praised the way we played which was good to hear as alot of coaches make excuses for why they lost which Clarko didn't. Knows there's alot of work to do and it...

    Autopsy Round 6, 2024 : Hawks skittle Roos

    He's not a ruckman's a-hole. As I said in an earlier post doesn't position himself where he should around the ground anywhere near what he should be. Obsessed with winning his own ball to the detriment of his fellow midfielders. His stats do not tell the true story at all. A whole lot of...

    Autopsy Round 6, 2024 : Hawks skittle Roos

    Larkey kicked 3 but 2 were from turnovers that weren't Frosts fault. That dropped mark was just unlucky as he created a great contest and that ball could have spilled anywhere. Barely lost an actual 1 on 1 against him all game and chopped off heaps of entries by killing heaps of contests. Bloke...

    Autopsy Round 6, 2024 : Hawks skittle Roos

    Absolutely spot on. Bloke doesn't venture far past the middle of the ground either. Instead of being down the line for the bailout kicks he wants to ruck every minute of the game. Sure he won the hitouts but Meek had much more influence around the ground because he played like an actual ruckman...

    Looks like Sam was right too. Any amount of physical pressure on this mob would have seen us competitive at the very least. There the definition of Jekyll and Hyde ATM.

    Geelong to go undefeated in 2024??

    It's the role players I'm referring to not the stars. They are better than most role players at other clubs and can have significant impact on a weekly basis. Miers, Close, Blicavs, Zac Guthrie etc. There's no way in the world these players develop the same way anywhere else. These are the guys...

    Geelong to go undefeated in 2024??

    They have the best coach in the business and has been near the top for a decade. Whilst he has still got his sharp mind for the game there not going to bottom out at all even with a few retirees. That's not being a smart Alex as a Hawks fan it's begrudging respect. What he is doing with a decent...

    All ground pressure and absolutely clinical with how they score is how there winning ATM. There not dominating games like 2022. The stats last night strongly suggest this. Far more efficient with ball use and decision making.and what I also noticed is they cheat a bit out the back especially...

    Hold your horses. Good win tonight but the Lions are not a premiership threat based on what I've seen this year. First real test will be next week. Blues really should be 6-0 as well choked away the win last week. Their midfield will cause problems that they haven't had to really deal with this...

    The Cats will win every game in wet weather. Their physicality and big bodies will see to that. That alone made them favourites for this game IMO. Lions want to play a dry weather game and are not used to playing in those conditions. Not sure how there doing it considering all there stars merely...

    Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

    It's a red herring. It's us or Geelong. Pies won't have a sustained run at the top. They have 1 maybe 2 years at most to stay up near the top. They need key forwards and key backs not another midfielder. Murphy now retired has left an important piece of their backline they need replacing. Howe...

    Coach Sam Mitchell's direction for the club and 2024 news

    What alot of these reactionary Muppets seem to be missing is when your in a full scale rebuild you can't afford to have some of your best players on the sidelines as you don't have the depth to cover for them. That's what we're seeing ATM which Hoyney was pointing out. Cornes has also pointed...

    Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

    He's good mates with CJ too. There's no correlation at all with who he wants to play for. More to it than that. Shows how much Landsberger knows about the situation not alot.

    Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

    Landsberger FMD 😅, blokes track record is horrendous. That suggests to me straight away he's not even talking to the right people. Hasn't once mentioned Hawthorn as a potential destination for what it's worth. Should tell you all you need to know. He's decent at certain areas of reporting not...

    Autopsy Round 5, 2024 - Suns destroy hopeless Hawks

    Come on mate Phillips should be walking into the current backline. We are robbing Peter to pay Paul having Scrimshaw and Weddle playing bigger than they should be. We have to utilise them were they can have maximum impact on games. If We don't think Phillips is ready than we should have kept the...

    Autopsy Round 5, 2024 - Suns destroy hopeless Hawks

    Absolutely disgraceful draw for a bottom 3 club. The way we have played hasn't helped things but clearly there's no intention from the AFL to give us a leg up unlike their mates down in sleepy hollow. We would have played everyone who finished in the 8 last year besides the Giants by round 11...

    All 6 of their opponents so far this year are currently sitting outside the 8. Brisbane should be in the 8 as should the Dogs but there not. Incredibly cruisey draw that they have taken full advantage of and it's set up another finals appearance regardless of how they go the rest of the year...

    Game Day Round 5, 2024: Suns v Hawks, 7:30pm, People First Stadium

    Seems to be all these blokes care about. Latest trends, How many followers on insta etc. I'd be blocking access to that sort of stuff if I was coaching till they start taking what there getting paid for seriously. Care about the fact we're not a good football team.

    This is sad to watch how uncompetitive we are I'm not going to lie. We can throw up the we are in a rebuild give the kids time excuse but this is a group who's confidence is rock bottom. Not sure what Mitchell can do TBH. Supporters are going to drop off like flies to watch this current team...

    Society/Culture OJ Simpson - Dead at 76

    He was involved in some way. Either did the deed or arranged it for somebody else to do. Overwhelming circumstantial evidence should have been enough to send him to prison even though they didn't have the smoking gun. Lot of people are happy this has happened. Got to live years of freedom when...

    Takes a fair bit of shine off their dominance when they end up winning by only 20 points because they put the cue in the rack. There still 2-3 now and percentage will be important if there any chance at top 4. Could have been even closer too. Take the win but not the way they finished the game.

    I'd argue it's also arrogant on Scott's behalf that every player with issues can be fixed if they get to play for Geelong using the Tyson Stengle card for Tarryn Thomas. This is a different situation and it's mischievous from Geelong to suggest otherwise.
