I was 12 months early. Sorry guys had to give myself credit here.
Outstanding call Roy. Was luke warm on Hale but he has won me over. He is comfortably the best ruck/forward in the comp. What has really impressed me over the past two season has been his competitiveness. I have heard his knees are dodgy but we do not seem to be nursing him.

His fitness base has really improved since being traded in as well has worked really hard and reaped the benefits

Top right of this picture there is a sign on the wall. Not sure the point of it(or this post) I just find it interesting that there is a sign up advertising something we already know.
It's mind control.

They don't want you to see that one that says 'We're all happy to earn unders to play for the Family Club'.

He's not TERRIBLE, but realisticly he's a backup ruckman at best, and comes with a minimum 3 years to his contract as someone else said, why bother when we could probably pluck seaby for half the money, half the contract who would do the exact same thing Hale does
Right whatever you ******* idiot

Saw that too.....no doubt just a reminder to the boys that their ability to run and carry must be called on to deliver success. It's funny in sports, even elite athletes can forget what makes them special, and under stress will perhaps just look to offload the ball and responsibility. When you do that - you become ordinary, unable to achieve the extraordinary results our players and club have been able to deliver.
I love seeing all that mind stuff playing out and knowing our coaches are constantly teasing every ounce of ability they can get from the Hawthorn footy players.

I can't believe they had the 2013 cup at the G for the 2014 decider!!!
They probably didn't. But I'd hazard a guess that it would be very easy for someone to leave the 'G at the 15min mark of the second and get back by half way through the 4th.

Whoa....The Kipster, Steven Tyler & BOSK getting their pants pulled majorly here!....Summer season is warming up;)
hahaha, I must admit that up until his finals last year, he appeared lack lustre and non-committed, I am unsure whom flicked the switch in him but kudos to both of them, as he has been a ripper since.

Glad we didn't get seaby bud?
