Yeah good, our list looks s**t hot, we seem likely to add to it in a meaningful way, and our annual report is likely to make me kind of randy.
Did We Write Off Hawthorn Too Soon?

It's going to be enjoyable to watch the slide back to irrelevance over the next few years.
I hate hawthorn as much as anyone but I respect them greatly and while I believe they have similar issues to my own side, also like mine they have a habit of simply manufacturing a way to stay in the mix to varying degrees.
I hope for the sake of the stupid equalisation measures taken by the league that Hawthorn and the cats continue to eat up a quarter of the finals spots every year.

The game has clearly gone past Hawthorn's older "stars". Can't be relied on any more. Not sure where their replacements are coming from.
Will very much enjoy Tom Mitchell leaving to chase success elsewhere when he becomes a free agent.

Roughead, Puopolo, Burgoyne, Frawley, Shoenmakers.
Bruest and Gunston fall to pieces in big moments.
Hawthorn used to be able to stand up for the big moments and big games. Two straight sets exits in three years show this has changed.
Very, very lucky to make top 4 this year. No one but Hawks supporters were surprised they didn't win a game.
Doubt you make finals next year.
Hawthorn, keep promising to be crap, but are good
unlike Essendon,
who keep promising to be good but are crap!
Oh well.

Sorry, Hawthorn are good?
Depends on recruitment, development and injuries.
Theres plenty of upside in the kids playing, if you watched Boxhill lots to be excited about down there too.
Im pretty confident 19 will be another step forward towards the next dynasty

Only 1 good team each year. Down from there its bad to bader.
Hawks are 5 Bad, Geelong 8 Bad, Essendon 11 Bad and StKilda 16 Bad!
Your optimism is often misplaced but feel free to tell me again "how it is".
Have you got nothing else to do for the next 6 years?
Good - yes
Great - no

Considering where they were at the end of last season you’d have to be happy with the year if you were a Hawks supporter.
They had a relatively easy draw following their low finish last year, granted, but to make the top 4 after losing to Brisbane twice is amazing, really. Winning all those close games certainly paid dividends. Sadly a couple of their guns in Roughead and Burgoyne look just about done though.
They definitely need help in the midfield (like most clubs) moving forward, no doubt they will be making a big play for a couple of high profile players as we speak

s**t, I was getting worried.
Rough - yeh he is coming to the end. But it has been that way for 3 years now.
Puopolo - obvious hall of famer who will be impossible to replace
Burgoyne - hard player to replace. But given we got him by offering Essendon Shotgun Williams I am sure Clarko can arrange a similar heist
Frawley - another first ballot hall of famer
Shoenmakers - umm, he is 27. And the same level of mediocre he has always been
But yeah, another hall of famer to replace You see, the main flaw in your argument is that except for Rough and Burgoyne, all the superstar old players are already gone.
And Hawthorn made top 4 without them.
And the reason they did it is because your club is a joke.
