So what you don't barrack for a club if you don't agree with every choice they make ?
All you do is constantly whine about anyone & anything Hawthorn.

What makes it worse is any other negative post gets a 'like' from you.

No one is asking you to agree with 'every' choice the club makes, but you don't agree with any.

lol, wow.

Sounds like a #StandByHird crowd but with a Hawthorn flavour.
I wouldn't expect any different from you.

You can change your name but you're still the same negative poster. Strange choice of names too. I like it but it doesn't suit your posting style

I don't put blind faith in the club but I support them & accept that they won't always get it right. If I don't agree with it, I might post about it but not over & over & over.

Truth be known, you & the other 2 I mentioned probably had a constant whinge about the club picking Hodge over Judd, even though 1 of you used his name

Think you got the wrong person. I've only once changed my name and that was late 2007 or early 2008.

I was posting positive comments and dismissing complaints when we were 17-3 and lost a home & away game. It didn't matter if we finished top 2 with 22-0 or 17-5 etc.

I haven't whinged about Judd over Hodge in my lifetime. Judd blew out of the blocks but Hodge has well and truly reeled him in and overlapped him.

Even if you stop their careers at the end 2007, Hodge was still the player that suited our needs as we needed tougher midfielders and a leader. Something Judd didn't have over Hodge.

I remember an old Herald Sun backpage labelling our midfield/team as a bunch of mothers boys and that we were soft. Leading up to the 2001 draft, it was only talk of Hodge or Luke Ball as they were the types we needed.

Must of been around 2004 or that time. I think it was a David Parkin quote.

I mostly remember Steven Greene, Tim Clarke and Nick Ries being on the page.

Parkin said they were young enoug to be with their mothers

The Hun didn't need much encouragement to twist it
Yeah can't remember the actual content but just the headline. But do recall Parkin had to explain what he meant by it, as it looked like one of our greats was attacking our club.

The article came out on Friday, as we were playing Collingwood Friday night
I remember my mate at work holding up the Herald/Sun so everyone could see it (he is a mad Pies supporter)

We beat Collingwood that night (Simon Cox kicked the sealer)
Went to work on the Saturday, found Friday's paper, and stuck the back page to my mates locker with a note;
"If Hawthorn are mummy's boys, what the hell does that make Collingwood"?

Ah, good times!

Simon Cox was the Matt Suckling, before Suckling was around.

Such a great kick.

Parkin: Hawks are Mummy's boys


Mark Stevens Herald Sun 19/5/2003

DAVID Parkin has urged Hawthorn to get back to trench warfare and quickly address an over-supply of light-bodied kids. The former Hawks football director said yesterday it was obvious that six to seven players hadn't had the physical capacity to go with the hard-nosed Bombers on Friday.

"They should be home with their mothers in a real sense," Parkin said.

Parkin said he was immediately struck by the physical mismatch of Hawk Michael Osborne against Bomber beast Dean Solomon on a wing. Steven Greene, Rick Ladson, Tim Clarke, Nick Ries and Chance Bateman were other lean, young Hawks in action at the MCG on Friday.

Parkin said all the junior Hawks had the potential to be fine players, but questioned whether so many should have been in the heat of such a crucial battle.

"If you're struggling and you want to get a contest, you've got to get them into the trenches a bit," Parkin said. "If you go out with six or seven of the 22 who don't have the physical capacity, it's difficult.

"Every one of those can play and really has a bright future, but they're not going to be able to play a game which demands a really physical game plan."

As anyone who has ever been interviewed for an article will tell you, you have no control over the headline! How often have people said one thing only to have it portrayed as something completely different!

Surely no-one now thinks that Judd delivered more for his teams than Hodge did for us???

That's just incorrect, I said the Tom Mitchell deal was a massive win by us.

Ok. I apologize, clearly I have mistaken you for another poster. My mistake

So after all the focus from the commentary on Hodge involved in the wrestle.......nothing....SFA......and rightly so.

I'm just pissed off Adams wasn't sighted for his two cheap shots. The initial jumper punch and then the gutless bump at the end when Hodge wasn't watching thinking it was all over.

So the AFL ticked off on the umps 'no 50 m call' for Dustin Martin,yet dead silence on the'no 50 m call' for Breust in the last quarter that was a blatantly awful decision by the umps.
As soon as I seen that article I clicked on it to see what the response was.
Correct, dead silence, no straight bat or PR rubbish.
Was that bad no spin could cover up the blatant atrocity.
