I could hardly watch the television coverage tonight because the commentators were so inane and one-sided both the match calling and the commentary. It truly is terrible and so unprofessional and unwatchable. Brian Taylor and Wayne Carey must have the IQs of peanuts plus Wayne Carey obviously...

For about the last six or seven years the Anzac Day game has drifted into irrelevance. Collingwood and Essendon are bottom level teams and are ruining the occasion. The game was a shocker uncompetitive and boring. (And we the follow-up with Carlton on Friday night.) The game is propped up only...

Couldn't believe the 360 coverage last night. According to Slobbering every Hawthorn player should have been rubbed out. But of course Joel Selwood should not have even been charged. Slobbering then went on to say Clarkson thought head high hits were ok. What a campaigner

Just watching the start of 2008 grand final on Fox Footy. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I never realised that Bruce had clairvoyant powers At the coin toss with the camera focused on Tom Harley Bruce stated "a grand final between a team that maybe will become the greatest of all time...

Just want to bring people's attention to a great article on hawks In today's Guardian by Tom Horn Enjoy

That bastion to good reporting Jon Ralph has reported today on the back page of the Herald Sun that Frawley went to Geelong. Then we have Robbo's semi literate say nothing article on Hodgie a few pages in. Can the Sports section of the HUN get any worse.

rumour on radio tonight he has asked to be traded from the Dogs Are the Hawks his preferred club!!!!!!

Had a look at our FIXTURE this year and again its hard not to think we have been mushroomed again by AFL. Our home games are mostly against low drawing or struggling club Home at MCG Fremantle, St Kilda, GWS Giants, Collingwood, Sydney, Melbourne, Geelong Home in Tassie Brisbane, WCE, Gold...

According to reports Pickering approached the Swans shortly after the Grand Final and told them Buddy wanted to move to Sydney and play for the Swans. At the end of season players trip to Las Vegas Clarko went over to Vegas and had a huge row with Buddy. Clarko and Buddy share the same agent...

How could Luke Darcy have allowed himself to do that interview. As i understand it when Shane Charters was arrested for importing pseudoephadrine and steroids police also found large ammounts of cash. Police also found records that a number of AFL footballers including HIRD DARCY and WOEWOODIN...

Does anyone have any information on how Alex Woodward Shoey Matt Suckling are travelling with their recovery?

See Rohan Connolly is already speculating (no doubt from inside AFL info) that with big drawing Victorian Clubs likely to be in the Finals the AFL will FIX(TURE) any Hawthorn finals games against interstate clubs at the Dump and not at our home ground.

If Buddy is so valuable that the AFL decide to pay a "marketing" top up wage to Buddy if he moves interstate then surely Hawthorn have every right to demand extra compensation beyond the normal free agency compensation. This sort of compensation should be available to any club that loses a...

I hear our President is reported as favouring financially helping Melbourne by increasing their salary cap. Why should we??? Just a few points. When we were 'broke" the only financial support we got from the AFL was their support for Melbourne in effect taking us over. To make ourselves...

With only 12 votes in 17 games the umpires obviously feel/know Buddy is just a good ordinary footballer. Probably lucky to make the All Australian.

As I understand it the Chairman of the AFL Mike Fitzpatrick's is connected to the company that owns or controls ANZ Stadium Sydney. The AFL have an agreement with FITZPATRICK'S company to play AFL games and finals at FITZPATRICK'S Stadium. Apparantly FITZPATRICK'S company also enterded an...

This season Hawthorn like Barcalona has raised the bar on the way the game can be played. The foot skills are the best I have ever seen. we have the capacity to dominate/humiliate The team is loaded with talent Much of the talent has been nurturedby the club The team is so well coached that...

Stop whinging. Injuries happen. Buddy wanted to play and declared himself fit. We have some of the best medical training staff in the country,checked and tested him, and they declared him fit to play.They had every reason to think he would be ok The coaches made the right decision in the...

Even tho there has been a lot of disappointment expressed in the last few weeks at trading Josh; my feeling is that over the years we actually haven't lost too many good players to other clubs; There will always be players who want to leave for love money family or whatever but generally I...

I have mentioned this before but it continues to amuse me how much the sanctimonious 'Carro' hates Hawthorn.Ever since AC had a go at her (off air) thro Jeff Kennett and continuing. Last week on Footy Classified at the end of the show she had a shot at Hawthorn. This week according to her we...

The Grand Final was a stark reminder of how important a big marking or contesting forward is. Altho premierships can be won without them as a general rule you need a guy doing the heavy contested ariel work in the forward line. Put simply if we had Roughie playing that role I think we could...

We were smashed around the midfield on Friday night and I don't know why. but what do know is that we have one of the best (if not the best) midfields in the AFL; and it is a midfield that is tough and good at contested footy. From what i have seen this year the coaches have developed a game...

I get sick of these armchair blog critics who flock to any thread that is anti Clarkson. Typical is the current threat asking people to rate our game plan? I suspect not one person who has responded would even know what the game plan is.... and what the coach is trying to achieve.But they will...

Did anyone else notice Arsenal's away strip last weekend. Yes you guessed it brown and gold (or yelow). and it looked great. Yellow top, brown shorts. That cements my decision to support the Gunners. Arsenal the new Hawthorn!!!!!!!

Last night I watched the FOX SPORT coverage from WA. The commentating was the worst I have ever heard. Brian Taylor, Danny Frawley and whoever the 3rd commentator was clearly had no idea who the players were even when there numbers were visible. So instead of calling the game they just inane...

I have asked this before and nobody seems to know. As I understand it the players were unhappy with the game plan early this year and Clarkson was approached and asked to change it to a more contested man on man plan; which he did. In the second half of the season we also seemed to have...

Over the last 3 seasons Clinton Young has shown that he has what it takes to be an A grader. If he has some luck with injuries and can get some match fitness he becomes vital. He adds pace, precision long kicking and goals. The team looks so much better balanced when he is in it. If he is...

Does anyone know what is happening with these 2 players . At one stage they both looked likely best 22 players , but both seem to be drifting to who knows where????.

Did anyone hear Rohan Connolly mouthing off about hawthorn on the radio last night. The Essendon supporting independant objective journo was saying how he was sick of the way Hawthorn behaved. According to him Hawthorns last minute player changes was a joke and contemptous. ( the bigger joke...

Does anyone know what is happening with Dowler & Muston? I understand Dowler was injured but not sure where he is at. Likewise Muston
