If Port do succeed in getting Ryder it is going to make a fast, mobile team that bit faster.

They'll be hard to stop next year.
Spells the end of Lobbe, IMO having Jackson trengrove comming in and able to ruck as a KPP is a benefit and add's another runner to Port, IMO they have to drop Lobbe

I really don't think that Port have the structural problems that Fremantle have.

But, given one or two injuries to their backmen, they will struggle again.
I agree. My point was more about people making long range predictions when so much can happen in the interim. It's like people who think they know who the premier is going to be before the season starts. I don't even think about it until the first week of the finals, and even then I'm not sure.

Look at the Hawks 2008. People talking back to back, by mid-2009 we were decimated by injuries and no chance of the flag.

Was going to put this on the 'Squiggle' thread on the main board but I'd get my arse banned again for doing so, therefore I'll sticky it here!

The Squiggle needs to be re-gigged in order to account for 'Faux finishing positions,' fabricated by AFL draws incommensurate with actual ladder finishing positions from the years prior!....Perhaps we could refer to such a factor from now on as the 'Bottom of the Harbour anomaly'???:)

Can't wait to see the draw for 2015 Procrastinator. I'll take odds now $yd doesn't play the other 7 clubs from the top 8 twice, but we do.

You'd get slim odds indeed on that score Thaihawk!....Must have been great viewing from over there in the tropics I'll bet!....I'm on my 3rd replay already:)

The cynicism from on high has become so overt, they just don't bother to even attempt to explain/ rationalise their corruption any more....When you make as much money as they do, then who gives a shit what the public thinks/wants any more?....Alls they do now, is dole out prescriptions for which we must be all thankful for!....And the media continue to do their bidding for them unabated. It's a riot!

The AFL could really pull one out of the bag and make us play the other top 7 clubs 3 times .... with only 16 men on the field at any one time. You could see their devious feeble little minds ticking over today thinking, "What in hell do we have to do to keep this Hawthorn team down? They're stuffing up our plans for north eastern domination".

Why is it the last time I saw an AFL executive smiling was at the 2012 GF. Demetriou nearly broke his face that day.

Watched it with the other Thai Hawk, and am watching a downloaded replay as we speak. My mate suggested, due to $ydney not getting the chocolates this year, and as part of their equalization plan, $ydney will be allowed to have one extra player on the field.
On today's form that would have given them one man amongst the chickens they put up against us.

Well he got it last year, so should he just have it in perpetuity now?

Should just rotate between him and Lyon.

I just love it, when Hawks are standouts during the season another coach gets it for making good improvement.

When Hawks make good improvements, another person gets it for having his team as a clear standout.
After today's performance from the boys, I completely retract anything I said about Hinkley and his team!

Maybe they'll decide to give us a really weak draw and the Swans a tough one, after realizing that teams lose the ones that count if they've had it easy for too long!
