Well done to Sam Grimley at Box Hill today, who kick 7 goals, 2 behinds and 1 out on the full. He also gave off several more. He was just too big, strong, fast and skillful. He was like Lance Franklin, if Franklin took a lot of contested marks and kicked accurately. He was the ultimate...

There are some players who perform duties which go beyond what is expected of them. Such players are sometimes worth an extra man on the ground when they have a good game. Here are the Hawthorn players who I think are worth their weight in brown and gold: Jack Gunston: Is regularly seen...

Sometimes I feel Luke Hodge could be a successful multinational company CEO Sometimes I feel Sam Mitchell is the best even if he is a bit slow Sometimes I feel Liam Shiels will go far And Jordan Lewis could digest a small car Sometimes I feel happy that Max Bailey got a medal somehow And Brian...

How the Golden Hawk overcame the Purple Seaman Now and then, lived a Purple Seaman who had great wealth. His only ambition was to accumulate even more riches. In the woodland mountain, lived a Golden Hawk. He lived for truth and justice. In the passing of time, the Golden Hawk laid a...

Congratulations Matt Suckling on reaching 50 AFL Games. May there be 250 more games to come. May your kick always be long and straight. May your courage be never questioned. May you read the play like your fans read Bigfooty. May your right foot become as dependable as your left. May you...

"We're never losing to Geelong again", vow the Hawks by Mark Robbingson in the Herold Sun When the Hawks defeated the Cats in the 2008 Grand Final, the Cats were understandably shattered. When the enormity of the defeat had finally sunk in, the Geelong players regrouped and made their what is...

All these strange goings on with Roughead, Rioli and Franklin being played outside the forward line highlights how lacking we are in other parts of the ground that our match winners are constantly moved out of the position where they do their best work. What we really need is more Rougheads...

Do our players have enough interchange authority given to them? Can a player like Savage or Breust bring themselves to the interchange bench when they feel tired? If you look at a player like Dane Swan, he seems to decide for himself most of the time when he needs a rest and brings himself to...

I had the chance to see Box Hill play in a Semi Final (which they won by a goal) today. Here are my thoughts on some Hawthorn listed players. Jordan Lisle - At this stage looks like he will break into the team next season, either as a key forward or key defender. His marking and reading of the...

In the middle of a frustrating season, anything positive is highly welcome. Forget about the disappointments of the year so far with a look at Footy Flashbacks, which will focus on the 2008 Grand Final. Time:- 3:00 PM EST Where: Channel 7 Game: Hawthorn vs Geelong, 2008 Grand Final My...

The loss to Richmond make this our 5th loss for the year. It also happens to be the first defeat we have had to a side outside the top eight. Until this game, we had defeated all the teams currently outside the top eight (assuming St Kilda remain in the eight.) A good home and away side...

The way Stephen Gilham drifted inside 50 and slotted the goal against the Pies, you could be forgiven for thinking he had been doing it all his life. In reality, it was only his first goal for the Hawks and his second that he has ever scored. He played only one game for Port Adelaide, and got...

During last night's game against the Eagles, there was a passage of play which highlighted what Jarryd Roughead is all about. The replay shows two angles. The commentators are talking about turnovers in defensive 50 being eliminated. Just ignore them. n7fv6McASBg I think Luke Hodge was...

We've just been beaten. Our winning streak is at an end. A team lower than us on the ladder has just beaten us. Buddy and Roughie couldn't get us over the line. That's not going to dampen my optimism. Why? We got beaten playing at our worst. That's not even close to the way we...

Dear Mr Young, I have been following your career for a few years. I am most inspired by your perseverance and character. You shown this by working so hard to become a regular AFL player which any team would be glad to have. As it is, I am heartened that it is my team, Hawthorn, that is...
