Back on the glass barbys and do it again probably. Some justiceYep, he's been on part time supervised leave since 2018 I think.
I still wonder how the 2011 GF would have gone had we held on against the Pies.
You have no idea how valuble he is to our team. Your ignorance is breathtaking.Ah yes, the guy that every Richmond fan talked up massively but in reality was never that good.
If this were south america , he'd have been clipped by nowI heard he's pretty close to release from his facility, that's nice for him.
Has Adam Goodes dome research into his Irish ancestors, his father is Irish after all.What if....
People stopped f###ing around and just admit the booing of Adam Goodes was entirely based on racism, and was a disgraceful blight on the game, instead of trying to apologise for and excuse racists?
What if North was forced to go to the Gold Coast? Biggest misstep the league has made. So many of the league's issues over the last decade have come from them wimping out on that.
I've thought about that a few times. It's tempting to say we'd have beaten the Swans at the MCG 2 weeks later and then used our edge in experience to knock over the Bulldogs, but I don't think so. The Swans were red hot against the Cats in that Prelim Final and had beaten Hawthorn at the MCG in 2016, 2015 and 2012. Even if we'd got past them, the Dogs midfield was also way too hot for our boys. They would've whipped us.What if Isaac Smith kicked the goal after the siren against Geelong in the 2016 Qualifying Final.

In 2016, the Hawthorn players had extreme confidence from 3peating and maybe a few of our opponents were psyched-out by our winning aura. It helped us pinch a number of close victories that year; games we probably should've lost. That more than #freekickhawthorn was the cause of our 6-0 W/L record in close games that season. We could've easily been 1-5 or 2-4 in those games and finished on 13-9 or 12-10.
The reality is we weren't that good. We were on the slide, but winning on memory.
Forget the 6 close wins ... Let's just focus on our 3 point win over the Bulldogs in Round 3. If that result was reversed, we'd have slid from 3rd to 7th on the ladder. That was the Rob Murphy knee injury game when Hawthorn came back from 19 points down and young Sicily kicked the winning goal from 50m with a minute to go. The Dogs dominated us in general play 420 disposals to 330, but somehow found a way to lose. They were clearly the better team, IMO.
The top ladder postions were absolute raffle in 2016: 3 teams on 17 wins, 3 teams on 16 wins and the injury-plagued Bulldogs on 15 wins. If the Bulldogs had not had injuries, they probably would've finished on top of the ladder (and choked in September!) Their injuries and 7th place finish was almost a blessing for them because it lowered the fan expectations and perhaps enabled them to ambush their opponents in the finals.
The Hawks played really well to almost upset Geelong in the Qualifying Final. We nearly pinched victory, but the Cats weren't that great either.
The Doggies started really nervously in the Semi Final and gifted us a 4 goal head start, but once they knuckled down in the 2nd half, they completely dominated us. It wasn't close. If they played that game again, I reckon the Bulldogs might've won by 8 goals.
And yet no one booed Alex Rance or Matthew Lloyd...Yeah, for some reason people are trying to rewrite history on this topic. Towards the end of his career Goodes dived so frequently and obnoxiously that it'd make Lindsay Thomas blush.

Well, Hawks fans did after Sewell hit, but not for divingorlly?
What if Buddy kicks straight in the 2012 GF. Hawks four-in-a-row!
Hawks were arguably a five goal better team than the Swans and most teams all year, but found a way to lose the 2012 GF! Buddy kicks 3.4 and two OB's during the match.
About 6 mins into the last quarter Buddy is lining up for goal from 35m in the right hand pocket to put the Hawks 17 points up - but it barely scrapes in for a point....!
Swans rebound and shortly after kick a goal to put them just a goal behind - in hindsight these two outcomes were the turning point of the match.
The fact I've attended only three GF's in my life and flew half way across the World to be there (I was based in BKK at the time) just adds to pain of what could of been....
Geelong would have kept GAJ and who knows what then....On the field the biggest impact has undoubtedly been the introduction of two new clubs.
So the biggest what-if is how things would’ve gone if they weren’t introduced.
. What if the Adam Goodes racism saga didn't occur?
. What if Fremantle won their first premiership?
. What if Carlton hadn't sacked Ratten or Gold Coast with McKenna?
