Heard a couple of interesting quotes over the weekend, and thought it would make an interesting thread, so here they are: Robert Walls: "Clarkson is the best coach in the competition - by a street." Must admit Robert, I never thought I would hear you say that, it must have been painful coming...

I am not a fantasy footy player, but after reading the article on the AFL site, I would think Ryan Burton would be one of the best buys around, and he doesn't even get a mention in the article.

For those who of you who didn't know, Alma Freiberg is the mother of one of our club's property stewards, Ken. I don't know if she still does it, but until recently she was responsible for the laundering of the club's game day jumpers. There is a nice video on the club's sight. I would like to...

I must admit I watched a bit of the scum v Giants game today, and realised how much big Mummy means to GWS. Without him they were like a ship without a rudder. With a bit of luck the jabbers could have won the game. This made me think of big Pitto, he is of similar height and weight, but is ten...

Richmond and North to play on the Friday. The other option was Hawthorn v Carlton, but Gil said this would give Hawthorn an advantage over Freo or West Coast! Here we go again: It's OK to give one team an advantage over another, as long as THAT team ISN'T HAWTHORN. Once again, the A.F.L have...

Just like to take this opportunity to thank all the contributors to this forum for their posts, and wish you all a very HEALTHY, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS 2015. HAPPY NEW YEAR My new year's wishes, no resolutions (I don't drink or smoke, so what else is there?) 1. I make it to...

Almost 50 years ago this question was asked by the Immaculate Conception Church in Hawthorn: "What would you do if Jesus Christ Came to Hawthorn?" We all know that an anonymous Hawthorn supporter wrote under that question, move Peter Hudson to centre half forward. Well all these decades...

I believe the third quarter fiasco has already been swept under the carpet. I think it is disgraceful that Razor Ray has not come forward and apologized for his error. As for Lyon and Barrett, they always have a go at umpire errors, but this week, nothing. Why boys, surely a very bad error was...

Yes that's right. The Big Four losers of round 13. This claim is indisputable, if you are in any doubt, just check the results. What a laugh these clubs are becoming, how they have fallen.

It will be an anxious wait for all fans in the Asia Pacific, now that the government will cut the funding to the ABC, and Australian Network is to be canned. I have been watching the Hawks here since the last century. At that time the NRL and AFL both had a share of the television time here...

I placed an order with Hawks Nest over a week ago. Today I got a request to send them a scan of my credit card, and a photo ID - Passport, I guess. I have used my credit card many times on the Internet, and for ampunts 10 times more than this purchase. Never have I been asked for this info...

I notice both of these players aren't now on our injured list. Where will they play this week. I would suspect Shoey to be at Box Hill, but will Spang play there also, or is there the slightest chance he will get a run on Friday. He would be handy, if fit enough.

The best way to eliminate the so called 'Kennett's Curse' would be to win the premiership this year, preferably by beating the cats. I would take 2 GF wins over them against 11 H&A losses anyday. The question is CAN WE DO IT? Mathematically, we are closer now to beating them than ever, so...

When asked about the Melbourne coaching position, Clarko said he had unfinished business at Hawthorn Footy Club. He also emphasized how much he loved the place. We all know how honest, determined, and straight forward our coach is. These attributes frequently get him into trouble with arrogant...

I we just wondering where we might stand on the premiership tally if we had have received similar assistance back in the 20s as the expansion clubs get today. One thing that makes following Hawthorn special for me is the way we developed our club in the early days. The Family Club was born...

In all my years of footy I cannot remember when I have ever wanted Collingwood to win two weeks in a row. When I first started following the Hawks, the footy record each week published a win/loss ratio, and Hawthorn's record against all teams was very poor, our record against the Pies was...

Who else is getting sick of all the anti-Hawthorn commentators we have to put up with week after week. I would like to put forward some examples. Firstly let's look at free kicks without mentioning the poor umpiring, but concentrating on the how they were called by the so called experts...

I believe we could have a very special player in young Jed Anderson. So much so that I would like to thank all responsible for getting him to tha Hawks. The way he attacks the footy, and some of the skills he displays at this point in his career remind me of a young Daniel Kerr of West Coast...

Peter O'Donohue, a former captain and coach of our great club passed away on November 4th age 89. Peter was a true gentleman and friend of other greatly respected Hawks, John Kenn edy and John O'Mahoney just to name two. Condolences to his family and friends. R.I.P.

I wonder if Bucks will use the same tactics, that failed against Hawthorn, against the Eagles. There are a few big strong bodies in the West Coast forward, and if the pies start attacking the man again they could find themselves out in straight sets. I don't believe Collingwood are suited to...

Grant Birchell plays his 150th, and Benjamin Stratton his 50th. Great incentive for the boys to give these two great backmen a game to remember. Congratulations Grant and Ben.

Thought I'd share a fun story with other Hawk supporters. Went downtown today to my ATM, and after inserting my card, and punching in my pin, out came "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you." I have never experienced this before, and wonder if any ATMs in other countries recognise...

Anybody lucky enough to get to John Kennedy's Roast? There is a video on the Hawks site with a few snippets. Love Bob Keddie saying that at 3/4 time in the 1971 Grand Final Kennedy told him to go and stay in the goal square and potter around for a bit. Well known now that Keddie kicked four...

There has been a lot of controversy about Pop's head high free in the last quarter. For karma believers, was this because of the missed free Cyril should have received against Geelong. This may have meant a loss against the Swans, but a win against the Cats. Wouldn't make an iota of difference...

It appears that for the second year running poor Sav is going to miss the finals, this is after playing 18 H&A games. His best would have him in our starting 22, however he seems to run out of puff as the season progresses. Is there something he needs to address in the preseason to fix this...

Friday night's game between West Coast and Cats could well be labelled the Duck'n'dive Derby, as the two best exponents of ducking and diving face each other. Can't wait to watch this one.

There are three (maybe more) things I don't understand about many posts on this board. The first is that we lost against Geelong in the last few seconds. I ask all those of that opinion to take a look at the second quarter. If (I hate using if, but here goes) Young, Cyril and Smith had have...

If the ladder remains as is the only final at the G would be Cats V North. However, if Freo were somehow to make it to sixth, then there would theoretically be none. Surely that would create some headaches for Vlad and co.

Did Anyone notice that the goal Cyril kicked in the last quarter had the Buddy bias about it? It started out right of the goal post before swinging left to go through the middle. About that time b Buddy posted Cyril was a little master. Makes one think. Thoughts?

Since the Tiger debacle we couldn't have done things any better. Killing Carlton, Pies and Essendon is most satisfying and things look rosy. However, before we can go into September with complete confidence we need to put Geelong in the same box that contains the other victims. While I will be...
