I'll be hoping the bulldogs win for a raft of reasons, one of them not being "because they're playing Sydney".
Yes there's some jealousy that the Swans are there, but I have a lot of respect for this team. They could make it 2 flags from 4 years with a big chance to back it up next year when you...
And he's got a beard that could turn Wayne Carey gay.
Jimmy is an absolute champion. Even when the cats were breaking my heart twice a year without fail, I could never bring myself to dislike Mr. Bartel. His accolades are ridiculous, probably the most decorated player in the AFL right now.
The Pendlebury comparison is only 1/2 of the glass really. There are plenty of players around the league who "slow down time" such as Xavier Ellis, Farren Ray, David Myers etc who aren't great players. Pendles is a star because he's also super fit, has top 1% skills in the league and reads the...
It's a reasonable point and time eventually catches up with everyone. I don't think there's 8 better teams than us without Roughead, there's too many "what if" teams at the moment. Geelong / GWS / Richmond / Collingwood / Bulldogs / Port etc are all capable of making finals but have all shown to...
In 2013 we added a mature star from a small Victorian club who played in the GF. (Lake)
In 2013, one of our assistants left to coach a rival (Simpson)
In 2014 we added a mature star from a small Victorian club who played in the GF. (McEvoy)
In 2014, one of our assistants left to coach a rival...
IF we lose on Friday, then win our Semi, win the prelim and face West Coast in the Grand Final...
Will we have to wear it again? Imagine if we won, I'd erase all the photos and evidence of us wearing that Sigfried and Roy outfit from history
You just don't know. This team is capable of surprises but we just seem to be having too many "off" weeks and we don't seem capable of beating a side if it's close in the last quarter. Only exception to this was the game against West Coast.
For example:
That game against Collingwood, we won a...
Hi HFC Official. Assuming the ladder doesn't change and we play an away final, when do ticketing details for Hawks members become available? Is it again a ballot for WA members and what details for Victorian travelling over?
Thanks in advance, your help here is always greatly appreciated.

The All-Australian is the least VFL aspect of the AFL as we know it.
They have selectors in the SANFL/WAFL states (Ricciuoto, Jackovic etc.) who really only watch the local teams. There's been a massive representation of Port, Adelaide, West Coast and Freo over the past few years. Even GWS has...
Freo won't tank the Derby. Just won't happen.
Anyway, this should be a good match, Geelong aren't in bad form and aside from the last 2 games always lift to another level to play us.
I'd like to see a few of Simpkin, Anderson, O'Rourke, Litherland, O'Brien, Sicily, Howe and Whitecross get a...
Must be a terrible time for this impressive and inspirational young lad. Seriously, this guy is almost the model AFL footballer and deserves a lot of respect.
I seem to recall he was raised almost exclusively by his mum, what a horrible thing to have to go through. Hope the Eagles boys lift for...
I feel like we play a bit better when we're missing a few players. It forces the other guys to lift and help the inexperienced understudies fill that role and we generally play better as a team.
That said, the only player where this doesn't apply is big Roughy. If he doesn't play, we're nowhere...
Yeah, well said. There's a reason Smith is always "ahead of the play". It's not because he's cheating, it's because he run like a goddamn maniac to get there and lose his opponent.
There was footage 2 years ago when Hannebury was tagging Smith. Hanners tried to go with him for about 400m and...
In 2012 we had Xavier Ellis, we had Hale & Roughead as our rucks, we had Schoenmakers as our key defender and we only kicked the ball to Buddy when going forward. Savage was the sub
We also didn't have or had but weren't playing regularly:
Langford
Lake
McEvoy
Frawley
Duryea
Ceglar
Hill
Pffft, we poached Simon Minton-Connell when he was in his peak back in the 90s. I use the word "peak" very intentionally there.
Anyway, this won't be an easy game but Sydney will either make us lose this game or we'll play at 70% and belt them into submission like the ugly red-headed step-child...
That's pretty rough for Brisbanites. That was a cracking game back in 2008 too. From memory Buddy kicked 8 and Daniel Bradshaw kicked 7! A good ol' fashion shoot-out!
Email just came back saying that I'd missed out which is pretty deflating being the only game here this year. Don't suppose you got that ticket anyway and plan on selling to a fellow BF Hawks member?
:(
Just received an email saying I missed out on this ballot. Apparently 1200 applications for only 600 tickets which is tough but also ridiculous when you consider it's less than 2% of the overall capacity, hurry up Burswood!
I also missed out on the general admission sales so would love to...
