If you go around just believing club statements and press conferences, good luck to you

The hawks would never say "we're dropping Tom" but after a series of stinkers, he was left out following the Bombers loss, initially "rested" but then they said he'd been a bit crook. Anyone can make their own judgment but after hearing Sam talk about It, sounded like he'd been left out of the...

Yes, bound to happen...Hawks wanted to drop him this year and it created a media storm. If we can get anything inside top 20 it's a huge win. Have serious doubts if he'd make it through another season of seniors before going back to Box Hill so it's essentially something for nothing if we trade...

Do you think its ok to voice opinions on here about players shortfalls or weaknesses or who we should move-on or delist, or is that taboo? Lets just say how great our entire list is (until the club delists and trades a bunch of dudes at the end of the season - then we'll wish them all the best)

hmm..who do you want with the ball in their hands, Tom Mitchell or Jai Newcombe ?? Let's see which direction the club goes with him post the end of this season.

Callow doesn't have the size of Lewis, below average kick, not as athletic and much lower ceiling overall. I don't actually know what he does exceptionally well at the top level. Tom Mitchell in veteran status. If he cant be traded, then he goes back to the 2nds, like Liam Sheils has this year...

Yep...agreed and I'd throw Lukey Bruest into the mix. He's given great service but getting a 1st back now would help us move fwd. He and Gunston will command a solid return after the seasons they've had. Probably just trade one of those though IF they are happy to. - If Geelong were interested...

I think a lot of Hawk supporters remember ‘bad dan’ like we saw on his first possie last week but that’s no longer reflective of who he is as a player

He's get knocked around imo I think he's lost size as time's gone on

I don't think Shiels playing actually means we are more likely to win. He's been a feature of the line-up the last few years when we've lost the majority of our games. He no longer moves the dial. I think the side has been picked to give us the best shot of winning.

Chad so flaky these days. I wish we could get the hey day Port Adelaide version

ridiculous to think that the mere presence of Tom Mitchell makes James Worpel play bad. It's about confidence I think for Worpel, he's lost all swagger. Would love to see him get back to playing more on instinct. Hunting the ball and the man, regardless of where he's playing. When was the last...

The ankle is no longer his concern, it's about conditioning and avoiding another soft tissue hiccup. He's young though and has done a block of work, so he'll be good to go

What's happened to Dan? Had a bump on the head in the preseason but was back to his best in the VFL Lets not forget this guy had a career year and is a much improved player. I think Harry Morrison 2nd half of last and so far this pre season has been someone who's gone under the radar. Very...

Can you get injured playing for Box Hill?

Despite Mitchell taking the reigns, haven’t we already been in a rebuild? We’ve been a bottom team the last 2+ yrs. I think we’ve been patient through that period and really since 2016 when it was clear then regeneration was needed. Clarko never went a full scale youth movement but for the fans...

I think you’re still hurting from when we beat you in the grand final

Scrimshaw pretty gutsy actually … have you watched much of him ? Actually, don’t answer that..

Wish we could bottle that type of intensity. Loving the work of Phillips and Hartigan, two guys I was bagging earlier in the year. Phillips has been solid in his role, and has had a few nice hit ups with ball in hand, and generally applies the right type of pressure and tackle. Hartigan, despite...

The game was obviously lost for reasons outside of Tom Mitchell but that missed tackle in the 2nd that resulted in a Freo goal was inexcusable. Had to rewind multiple times just to understand how he did not try and wrap the bloke up

I thought Mitchell was supposed to be playing more of a forward/mid role and seemed to be doing it very well, but looked to be in the middle for the most part again on the weekend where we are just not dynamic enough.

Players need very good - Elite skill to become consistent goal kickers. The pressures in front of the big sticks are real. Nash would definitely be better served around the ball as long as he's not creating too much damage to our system (which is horrible anyway). He can use scrap kicks to get...

Howe has quietly had a few solid games on the trot, and using the ball really well by foot. You might be right though as he'll be 27 next year.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's delisted at the end of this year. His effort has been admirable but simply cannot get near it yet at AFL level. I'm not sure which attributes will allow him to become a regular in the 1's

given our lack of depth at the position it's probably not too late for him to string some games together and earn another 1 yr deal

Yes, agree with that. Not only 2 goals, but his disposal was neat throughout and did the non-negotiables with his contested play.

I reckon you've done enough. Clarko will come to your door and sing Christmas carols this year.

whether or not we want/ don't want him aside, I think what is clear is that his name is coming up in trade rumours, and his footy has been frankly ineffectual the last few years since the injury. If he had as much value as some suggest, the club wouldn't be considering trading him out, and at 28...

fair few people seem to be raising the possibility of trading him, make sense?

The other side is, they might be really happy with where their lives are at and salaries they earn, and not interested in uprooting their families to go play 1-2yrs somewhere else to achieve something both already have
