    Autopsy AFL 2024 Second Semi Final - Port v Hawks Fri Sept 13th 7:40pm EST/7:10pm CST (AO) Teams in OP

    Surprised at the land of the giants selections. I don't know Port's list that well, but with their outs, is it possible they've decided they won't try to match us at our game and instead try to beat us at contest and smash it long to where we're undersized?

    Review Round 21, 2024: Box Hill Hawks v Werribee Tigers, 18 August 2024, 2.05pm @ Box Hill City Oval

    That's crazy. And I thought the AFL was compromised.

    Review Round 19, 2024: GWS vs Box Hill, 4 August 11.05 am @ Blacktown ISP

    No preview thread posted yet so I thought I'd jump in. The Hawks travel to Sydney (not Canberra) for a big match against GWS. The Hawks currently sit 5th, percentage behind Brisbane and two games in front of Richmond in 10th, so likely finalists with just this game and one more to go after an...

    Toast Hawks made finals in 2024! - Hawks finals discussion

    The next 9 games are going to be a ride. Can't wait! We've won 7 of 9 and need to do it again. Not sure if anyone follows Tony Corke's Matter of Stats blog. I always have a look after the weekend is done. According to its model our chances of making finals are going up pretty significantly...

    Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

    So Battle, Perryman and (I've heard) 184cm defender Luke Beecken in the MSD. (Not a commentary on the individual players, just the first thing I thought of.)

    Review Round 9, 2024: Box Hill Hawks v Brisbane Lions, 25 May 2024, 1.05pm @ Box Hill City Oval

    I'll do the honours. 13 AFL-listed players makes it a strong squad. Very happy to see HH back. Ins: J. Peacock (NEW), J. Serong, N. Reeves, F. Maginness, H. Hustwaite Outs: N. Philactides, C. Stephens (inj), C. Jiath, A. Stefanakis, B. De Bolfo Squad: 1. H Morrison, 7. N Reeves, 20. C...

    Game Day 2023 Grand Final : Pies v Lions

    I reckon Brisbane and GWS have been the best teams of the finals. Pies lucky to win both games. Not sure if the MCG will be a factor, but I think Brisbane wins.

    Best semi-finals of all time

    I was living in Japan at the time, and it was much harder then to watch games (complete shock: the AFL site was shit then as well, and the radio links to Hawks game were regularly not working, making me contact support to explain that it wasn't my operating system, you just need to make the link...

    Would be surprised if Serong got cut.

    List Mgmt. Hawk's List Management 2023

    According to Footywire, we have 11 players out of contract. I could see half of them being delisted without much on-field impact. Expecting some deep cuts this year.

    Preview 2023 Records vs Top 8

    OK, having taken the feedback into account, I've managed to narrow it down to only include each top 8 side's best game against the others. I've taken out percentage, as points scored and conceded are so variable week to week that they're pretty meaningless at this point of the season. See if...

    Preview 2023 Records vs Top 8

    Yeah, that means the maximum would be 14 for a finalist and 16 for a non-finalist. Eight vs 12 is a more significant difference than that.

    Preview 2023 Records vs Top 8

    I do this after the H&A every year and it usually throws up a couple of interesting points. 2022 for reference. It can be useful as a finals win predictor but like all models, it's pretty blunt and best used with your own judgment - it doesn't account for injuries or home vs away, for example...

    Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 23 - Demons v Hawks Sun Aug 20th 3:20pm EST (MCG)

    We already have - Pies, Lions, Saints and Dogs. Don't think we'll make it five though.

    Review Round 16, 2023: GWS Giants v Box Hill Hawks, 8 July 2023, 12.55pm @ Giants Stadium

    Anyone know what happened to CJ? Assuming he tweaked the calf again.

    1st Ashes Test England v Australia June 16-20 1930hrs @ Edgbaston

    Just asked an English mate if England is the first side in history whose bowlers' ages are higher than the batsmen's averages. Took it surprisingly well.

    Think Tank Which club has the all-time spud 22?

    There were more. Could've made an AS squad of 40. I think Judge (PBUH) brought over half of East Fremantle.

    Think Tank Which club has the all-time spud 22?

    Tommy Sheridan and Marcus Drum :fire: Some great names in here. Had forgotten about a bunch of them. Didn't Mitchie miss more games than he played? Shane Kersten gives Tim Allen a run for his money. Also Croad > Croad

    Chosen narrowly for FF over the great Kingsley Hunter.

    Almost made it into ours. Call him an emergency, maybe second ruck.

    Think Tank Which club has the all-time spud 22?

    Jeez, I knew the Dees had a few lean years, but that is a spud team for the ages. No. 1 pick > no. 2 pick. The HBF rival ours too. I think it would actually give us a run for our money. Did not expect.

    Think Tank Which club has the all-time spud 22?

    Fine choices both, but it's supposed to be your club. Good few years for you to pick from.

    Think Tank Which club has the all-time spud 22?

    Hey baybes. As I’m sure you’re all aware, the mighty Hawks are currently on their inexorable rise to another dynasty. But in all honesty, that might be several months away and we’re a bit rubbish at the moment. And it got me thinking: who’d make our all-time* spud team? But more than that...

    Peptides! The *Essendrug Dopers: come smell the bull****! -PART 2

    I don't subscribe to that rag but a mate passed on some screengrabs of the story. The 'setup' was that they... wait for it... questioned Dank and took evidence from his own phone. Also, the affidavit is part of a FOI submission by Bruce Francis. Oh, and they want a royal commission. The whole...

    Preview 2022 Records vs Top 8

    Hey everyone, thought I'd do the annual records vs top 8 to see whether it throws up anything interesting. Last year for reference. First, top 8 vs top 8: (Note it ranks by points, then fewer games played, then %.) Some thoughts: The fewest possible number of games against teams in the 8 is...
