    I don't post here much anymore. But by geez, this theard just gets better with age.

    http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/how-many-flags-will-hawthorn-win-in-the-next-5-10-years-2-3.213042/ One of the reasons I stopped posting here was the fun was being taken out of it by people like Mantis. Looking back, it was still the right decision to leave but a little visit to perhaps...

    2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 14, 18, 21, 22, 26

    Pretty stark viewing of what we've done over the last two seasons when just laid out like that. While there are those who are sceptical to the draft policy we are aiming for I reckon that just looking at the numbers (not even mentioning last years recruits) should be a bit of a salve...

    Nawthorn

    "We're an osmosis team at Nawthorn, we're determined to become the Hawks We will grab your spine, come think or thin trying with everything we've got to be Nawthorn And there will come a day so grand and enlightening our players will once have been all yours (down to the core)...

    Hay gone.. Lonie as well

    More details later, looks as though we kept pick 22 though so that's okay.

    That's better.

    http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,16549513%255E2722,00.html "Hawthorn has said it is not interested in giving up either of its first two picks, three and six, for Fevola." much better.

    2007 or 2008?

    How soon before a really really strong competitve squad can be put together for the HFC to once again be challenging not for just respect (something I reckon we made gains on this year fwiw) but as a serious Premiership contender? As this stage, I'm thinking it's more likely the latter of 08...

    Thanks Soloman for your pick six that is...

    OUR pick six. Yea, it hurt at the time but there's always a little bit of karma. If we'd of won that now (and hadn't thought about it until Irish pointed it out in another thread) on the scoreboard (instead of a moral win... which doesn't give four points). We'd just have pick five and...

    Big virtual pat on the back to you all

    Just want to say thanks for the season just past and the discussions raised. While it may get heated at times, for the vast majority of it I reckon I've precious little to do on here in terms of having to try to clean up posts or slap wrists for naughty posts. Even when things get heated...

    "2nd year blues".. should we brace ourselves for it?

    At least a little? While I'm more than pleased with the development/shift towards bringing in youth to the side (and quality youth at that). Will there be any let down or leeway given if some blokes have any of the "2nd year" blues/tailing off in form for 06? There will be more focus on...

    A possible ruck trade option for pick six

    Well..maybe one to consider in a hypothetical anyways. Meesen was touted last year as the ruck we'd pick up with pick seven. He's not been heard of much since going over to Adelaide and the latest word has had Maric being pushed as a likely/next inclusion if they get an injury to either...

    The seventies or the eighties

    Where would you rather go back to? Now the eighties had the GF run and an extra premiership to show for it but.. those seventies had their good points as well. You had the extra "biffo". More real one one one (even by the eighties this type of footy was declining) contests. The...

    Really liked reading this line from Todd

    http://hawthornfc.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=display&articleid=224496 In a late "Tuesdays with Todd" there was the following paragraph about 3/4's into the article. One line (underlined here) I really liked. "There are no regrets among the coaching staff with how we went about the...

    Will we win Sunday??

    Amid all the talk of tanking or what's better for the club to win/lose etc the actual result of the game has been little discussed. So quick poll, are we going to win (regardless if you think it's the best result etc) or lose to the tiggers? Plenty of outs but coming off a game that we...

    Dutchy retires.

    Official release. http://hawthornfc.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=display&articleid=221511 Good times early, bad times late. Thanks for the good times Dutch and sorry that it went pear-shaped at the end. Good luck to him for his future.

    Just for something different...Viney, Hardwick, Rath, Smith

    What are the general feelings of we supporters towards the assistant coaching staff performances in their first seasons thus far with the club? Todd's tuesdays notwithstanding, they've been a pretty quiet bunch, going about the jobs with little fuss or fanfare. Are we happy with our...

    Dixon HAS photo's!! Team changes

    It's the only explanation. In Franklin Out Nixon. Maybe it's a typo on the fax?

    Congrats and good luck

    Will be one to admit I'm VERY surprised by how well your lot's travelling but..winners/grinners so, to good and well done on the win. Glad that we made you earn it just the same. Outright second and looking well set for the rest of the year. Cant fault that form and can only say best to...

    Seven or Nine (and I'm not talking tv stations) or 50 plus?.

    We had seven debutantes from 05 play last night, we also had two blokes that have managed to not quite make ten games combined in their debuts of 04 (Sewell, six games in 04 and Brennan, three games in 04). Port had one player (Ebert) that hadn't played at least 50 games. One player...

    Clarkson, Hardwick, inside info this week?

    Given that they've both been pretty well involved over the previous few seasons, why hasn't there been any "Clarkson and Hardwick will know what makes them tick" style posts??? Was hoping that somebody would pop up with the "no worries, it was really AC that led them to the flag and since...

    The 'Ignore' option

    A few of you seem to be having trouble with certain poster/s. The easiest way to deal with it is this way. Right click on the persons name you are having trouble with. This will open a screen where a blue bar with the option of "Add ****** to Your Ignore List" Click that, the person is...

    Tszyu v Hatton

    Gets underway shortly. Predictions? Kosta probably inside three rounds. To strong, to quick.. just to damn good. Hatton has a lot of heart on what (limited) I've seen of him but looks primarily a grunt type. Wont be able to handle the step-up in class that Tszyu will bring to the ring...

    Brown, hopes to him on a swift recovery

    First off, this isn't trolling but a genuine post. I've no love for your lot but what happened tonight to Brown is a tradgedy for not only the RFC but also from my pov anyone that really hates to see players from any club\s going down injured like that. Fully wish him a speedy and more...

    Should we take a lesson from soccer?

    Relegation now, bottom three teams to lower league. I say 'aye'. One week only window of opportunity, submit yay's or nay's as you like. :)

    Congrats on the win

    We worked hard but in the end, just couldn't match your midfield or quality overall. Glad that we at least made it a real contest and made your lot work hard for the four points. Good luck for the rest of your season, you should be amongst it when the real stuff (finals) start. Cheers.

    Hi guys, quick question

    With the speculation going on over Fevola (and I haven't heard one way or the other as I type) being available im curious as to how far away your big Setena (apologise for the spelling) might be to getting a game? Reckon it'd be great to see him line up as I'm a bit of a wrap for the 'Irish...
