New Hawthorn numbers for 2023
First of all No 3. Newcombe - This guy could be anything. He is a star now. He is a Hawks fan and knows what the No. 3 means.
then No 7. Reeves - Takes over the No. 7 after Big Boy retired.
then No. 10 Ward - A young player that gave alot this year, with more to...
The first thing I knew was the front page of the Herald Sun today. If it was what people are saying, with the Lifeline at the bottom of the article, they should have thought more about putting it on the front page. Maybe sat on it a few days or put it in as a small article in the sports section...
The thing was that Nathan Buckley was seen as being the then Collingwood President Eddie McGuire's favorite player. Nothing like that is happening at Hawthorn.
The landscape of AFL is different today to how it was when Clarkson was hired. A succession plan in coaching was never talked about. Jason was my favourite footballed growing up. He had a big say in Clarkson being Hawks coach. But all things come to the end. Someone was going to be the next...
I will finish what I was saying before. Clarkson went to Hawthorn's Football Department Head with the question on his coaching future with the question of the Collingwood coaching position and possibly the Carlton coaching position coming up soon and what will Sam Mitchell do if offered either...
What has Alistair Clarkson brought to the Hawthorn Football Club since he arrived post the 2004 season? The time Alistair Clarkson has had at Hawthorn has been really great. If you said to me in 2004 that the next coach at Hawthorn would bring four premierships to the club I would have said get...
Playing games at Marvel Stadium (fka Etihad Stadium, fka Telstra Dome, fka Colonial Stadium) is something that I don't like. The ground was the reason why Waverley Park isn't a AFL venue any more. Hawthorn is a home team at the MCG, Carlton is a home team at Marvel. We have to play a game at...
Jeff Kennett shouldn't be making statement like moving Hawthorn to Tasmania. He would be out of the club quickly if he wanted to push that idea. The problem with Tasmania getting a licence for an AFL team is that they haven't got the population in the state to support a team. These are comments...
I am not saying don't go for the team leader, however the role of captain of an AFL club involves more than just leading the team out. What happens if the best person for the job of leading the club isn't satisfactory at all the other things that a captain does. Why can't you have the person who...
It isn't who is best for the role as captain, it is which group of players are best to lead the club. The person who is captain has to go to the toss of the coin and be involved with the media more. But the leadership group is the team the leads the club. Whoever is named captain for Hawthorn...
If you remember back to The Footy Show a few years back, the big thing they teased Garry Lyon with was him breaking his leg against Footscray at the Western Oval. This occured back in 1988 so it was before Garry did anything of note in his career.
Saying he was going to be a multiple Brownlow...
We really only need two sets of jumpers, our home jumpers, the traditional brown and gold stripes, and a new away jumpers, which I have made by adding the chevron style to the current away gold and brown stripes. This jumper will give us a jumper that doesn't clash with away team the clashes...
Well the voting panel didn't agree with the afl.com.au panel. In their voting for the winner (http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-30/our-reporters-pick-this-years-rising-star-winner) Ryan Burton got plenty of 5 votes from their experts. Out of the 17 writers polled, 11 gave Burton 5 votes, the...
All we want the Chief Executive Officer of the Hawthorn Football Club to be is the best person available to fill the position. If that person happens to be a woman, who cares. All we ask for is the best person available.
I am more for seeing Sam be a one team player. He came up through the Hawthorn system through Box Hill, onto the Hawthorn list then to be a Premiership Captain. A five time Peter Crimmins Medalist, I see him coaching at Box Hill or the Eastern Ranges and keeping his family in Victoria. I...
Don't know why Brad Hill hasn't been included in talks for either Mitchell or O'Meara. It would be good to get something that we want for Brad, and then Fremantle can satisfy either Sydney or Gold Coast and not have those clubs wanting our players.
Does anyone know if they are releasing the limited edition Premiership Bears again this year. They only produce 1000 and each are numbered with a numbered metal button on their left foot. I have one for 2008 and 2013, so I want to keep the collection going.
There will be two different kinds of...
When you have picks in the draft so late because you were the previous years premiers, taking a chance on someone like Dayle Garlett could have been a master stroke if it came off. Getting a player who would go first round at 38th pick. However, it is like the Irishman we recruited last year who...
It is good to get it out of our system. Someone we have defended, someone we cheered for, someone we purchased merchandise of, get all of our anger here so we don't do something wrong in public when an opposition supporter tries to make us angry by bring up the Franklin situation.
What have we...
I said the club should get him back in 2004. If we were going to finish last we might as well get someone like him. I was think that we should draft him No.1, but we didn't finish last and we got him with pick No.5.
The player we drafted in 2004 has changed. It may be the people he deals with...
Just watch the AFL ignore it. They ignored the public when they got rid of Waverley Park.
Just think that the AFL clubs voted to save the Swans in 1993. We save them and they turn around and bite us.
Franklin said it is hard to leave Hawthorn. What we are hearing at the moment it is becoming...
This was posted on www.afl.com.au moments ago. He was interviewed at Channel 7 today and it sounds like it was from the same interview.
LANCE Franklin insists he had not made a decision on his playing future before Hawthorn's Grand Final win over Fremantle.
The forward met with AFL...
Looking at all those Hawthorn supporters wearing their jumpers around at the moment that have 23 on the back can he explain it to them. "I'm with my boys baby" was his comment on Sunday. Was he talking about being with the Hawthorn players or being with Sydney?
On another thread on the Hawthorn section grizzly is offering free name changes to those people with Buddy in their user name.
I thought a good name would be IAmNotABuddyTrader.
I was asking for Buddy to explain to his (I would say former) young fans why he is leaving? Explain to all those children with number 23 on their back why he is leaving.
Are you saying because he likes to pose with other half naked blokes?
