I dont think ive ever seen a worse team on this record...I seriously hope Hawthorn dont make the top 4 because they will be out in 2 weeks..It must show how ordinary the competetion when hawthorn is in 2nd position..No Offence hawk fans...But i dont think you are the 2nd best team in the AFL...and not really rated this year as any finals threat by the football community...

Actually they were rated by some experts. Bruce McAvaney thought they would win the flag.
But we all know what a w***er he is though.

hmmmmmmmm very interesting topic.what is clear is essendon is the team to beat no doubt about it. to say hawthorn dont deserve to be in the top 4 is a tad premature at the momment.what has become a bit of a patten this season whoever plays essendon takes a fair while to regain there confidence its happen to practically every club.
its no shame to lose to brisbane in brisbane even the bombers lost but what would erk hawthorn supporters was the last qtr lack of effort but to say hawthorn dosent deserve to be in the top 4 well time will tell like i said at the moment the one club essendon will be worried about and they have the track record against essendon is carlton. its up to the other sides to shorten the gap between the bombers and themselves.
cheers!

hrmm so when we were winning those 8 games in a row we were a top 4 side but now that we have a lost a few we aren't... sorry but thats silly, port are having a bad run at the moment too so does that mean they aren't a top 4 side??? i don't think so
we are a top 4 side because we were good enough to win those first 8 games and we will be back!!!!

Neither Port nor Hawthorn are fair dinkum flag challenges. Clubs always suprise in the first half of a season, but remember clubs aim to be at top form at round 22, not 1.
The next few weeks will sort the contenders from the pretenders. At this point in time I cant see any other team other than Essendon or Carlton winning it.

Yeah, well clubs don't aim to be in top form in Round 13 either. Still a fair way to go yet, and once you're in the finals it's a whole new ball game.
That said, it ain't looking good for us right now.

I think hawthorn has done an exceptional job being where there are but after last night the question must asked whether their game plan of chipping and making no contest will work..i think they are a top 8 side definatley but not a top 4....There are only 2 teams that stand out which is ess and carl and i believe the rest are fairly even besides the bottom teams....

Hawthorn have been very very lucky. Lets see so far this year they came up against Essendon 1st v 2nd and got flogged. They wernt even in the same ball park.
Their next challenge was Port Adelaide in Melbourne. Once again came up short.
Then went to the Gabba against a possible top 4 team and once again came up short.
Against the Kangaroos you should have probably lost that game.
Hawthorn deserve to make the top 8 but they are definately not top four material. A few injuries and there is not much depth in the side.
Port Adelaide have been exposed when teams apply physical pressure to them. Port Adelaide will only win a final if it is at footy park or if they are playing Hawthorn.
