    Game Day Round 1, 2024: Bombers v Hawks, MCG Sat 16th March

    Making it way too easy for them to pinpoint passes inside 50

    Game Day Round 1, 2024: Bombers v Hawks, MCG Sat 16th March

    Very happy to see we seem to be able to mark inside 50, even though most have been on tight angles.

    Finally someone backed themself and kicked the bloody goal. A bit of selfish is what we need there. Good job Worps.

    Training 2024 Preseason reports and discussion

    Thank you so much for the many insights you passed on. You're a true loss to those of us who cannot get to training. Having grown up in the Riverina I wish you all the best. But not in a negative "The Riverina is a cesspool" way...it's just more Swans-focused than any sane person would dare...

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Jack Ginnivan!

    Happy with this, and continues our approach of bringing in die-hard Hawks supporters (Jack was definitely one growing up). Welcome Jack - may you kick many a goal, and annoy many an opposition supporter.

    Autopsy Round 22, 2023 : Hawks leash the Dogs

    Too often we seem to not be a preferred destination, but you hope that prospective trade targets (top flight ones...) see these past two wins as reason enough to tell their managers "I want to go to Hawthorn".

    News Hawthorn Racism Review - No player name speculation - opposition posters tread very carefully

    This is absolutely disgusting. I am beyond angry.

    Autopsy Hawks vs Swans

    Didn't watch the whole match, so can't speak for his early game, but watching McVeigh tear Suckling apart (and Suckling's horrible clanger kick that turned over to become a goal) infuriated me. Have very little doubt that Duyrea or Litherland would have crumbled in a similar situation, and both...

    My thoughts exactly. Suspect that increased running loads are affecting the ever reliable kickers.

    Past Player Of The Week - Mark Graham

    Definitely remember him as an honest trier, often against much larger and more naturally skilled opponents. Naturally, this meant he was one of the many eternal whipping boys of the era. Was a fair athlete too. From memory he competed against, if not beat, Koutoufides at under-age athletics.

    Unofficial Preview Aboriginal Allstars v West Coast Eagles

    I read it was a 56 man squad, so perhaps he is simply in that (really, really large) squad, and not the team.

    Discussion 1976, Peter Crimmins retirement and passing away

    Not old enough to have seen him play, but there is a special aura around Peter Crimmins' name at Hawthorn - evident in the Club Champion award being named after him. That photo with the Premiership Cup is haunting. He's a shell of a man, but what a great moment for him to have held on to at...

    Hawthorn Number Predictions for 2015

    Since 1961 maybe, but there were multiple captains before then (Peter O'Donohue, Kevin Curran, Ted Fletcher) who didn't play in premierships.

    Preview Rookie draft - picks 18, 36, 53 & 65

    Do we know when the AFL will release the draft order? I gather we'll be low down owing to the Premiership, but depending on other clubs' list management there might be some passes before us (like Sydney last year). I'm anxious because I'd love us to pick up Hodge Mk II.

    Toast 2014 National Draft, pick #49 - Welcome to Hawthorn Teia Miles

    Encouraged by his highlights reel (not the one in the draft discussion, the one on the AFL site). Good balance, awareness and appears relatively lively.

    Toast 2014 National Draft, pick #31 - welcome to Hawthorn Daniel Howe

    Totally agree. Hadn't watched his video in the lead up, but like the look of him.

    Toast 2014 National Draft, pick #50 - Welcome to the Hawks Marc Pittonet

    Having watched his highlights package on the AFL website I must say I do like his taps to advantage and his ability to hit the ball at maximum stretch at centre bounces (I.e. he seems to read the ball very well and hit it at the peak moment). Welcome aboard Marc.

    Strategy National Draft discussion (Dan Howe, Tay-ah Miles, Marc Pittonet, Willsmore, Webster)

    It most certainly depends on the team that picks you - but my point is that we weren't a good team back then, in a similar manner to St Kilda and Melbourne now. Whilst we had history on our side, we were not in great shape and it took some tough decisions to get us back to being a successful club.

    Strategy National Draft discussion (Dan Howe, Tay-ah Miles, Marc Pittonet, Willsmore, Webster)

    Look back to 2005 though...they top prospects were faced with going to struggling Tigers or Hawks outfits. Now Roughead, Buddy...sorry, "He who shall not be named" and Lewis are multiple premiership players. Just like St Kilda and Melbourne now, it was only speculation to suggest we had a chance...

    I know it's evil, but...

    Great thread! I'm tipping either the Hodge intercept, or Langford's boundary effort. Leaning more towards Langford.

    Past Player Of The Week - Tim Clarke

    Definitely a polarising player - mainly because he was the "athlete trying to be a footballer" type. Wasn't overly strong, wasn't overly skillful, but tried hard - which was always admirable.

    An early look at the 2014 draft from a Hawthorn perspective

    I wouldn't be surprised if we look towards tall timber - possibly Harry Dear (even though we opted against him as a F/S selection). Grimley doesn't appear to be a viable ruck option, but remains on our list. With Lowden now gone, and Brand the only other tall option outside of...
