Can Hawthorn succeed while ignoring the elite end of the draft?

Your boys are coming up to a decade without a flag. A mediocre year for you, and where does that leave Scott and co?
We've been in prelim last few years and been out of our depth. Simply not.good enough .
That's my point- results rather than predictions mean everything
Fair call. We're the same, measured by flags and haven't performed in that time.

yep they want to bring the hawks down to their level with the rest of the crazy people
Equalisation.
Look at the bigger picture too, they have 3 flags since they beat us in '63. We have 12, including 2 against them.
Facts and history are just so exquisite....
This is so true. Great point.
The last page has been Hawthorn supporters going on about how good they were 5 years ago. A lot has changed since then. Hawthorn were in the bottom 4 at stages in 2019... from top 4 to bottom 4 in the space of 16-17 rounds of footy is a big drop.
In my opinion Hawthorn supporters should get used to their team having to scrap for a finals spot with all the other mediocre teams. It's my honest belief that Hawthorn won't make finals in 2020 but I'm happy to be proven wrong. Let's see how they go.
I don't want to see Hawthorn do badly... just giving my opinion. And I don't think I was saying very similar things in '09 and '10 but happy to be proven wrong.

Why are you having a crack at Geelong? Your club is going down the exact same path of perpetual top-ups and stagnation.
Was comparing years without a flag. How's that potting? Ive got great respect for Geelong. A bitter rival and plenty of silverware in the last few decades.

Bastardizaton more like it.....
I have spent 2 years hurling abuse at anyone that was crazy enough to think freo was going to get the wooden spoon in 2018 or 2019

They're not comparable though, one's the past, the other's the future.
You can't argue Essendon will be s**t this year because they haven't won a final for 15 years, they'll be s**t this year for many other reasons!

I had thought it was for me
Big drag on our 60+% finals record
also four losses in a row is our floor. Watch out next time
That puts things into perspective for the blowhards around here.

Maybe. Unless he gets an AFL appointed gig like Paul Roos to go and fix a basket case club I can't see him moving though. He's already a club GOAT coach I would have thought (or Jeans/Kennedy Sr) and has resources, structures etc. around him so why would he move? A sack full of cash? A challenge of dragging a team off the bottom? Seeing a list like St Kilda in the mid 2000s and knowing they should be performing better?
Jock McHale coached 38 seasons at one club. Maybe Clarkson will still be where is now in another 20 years... One angry dwarf and 200 solemn faces.
