Hawthorn - 20 flags by 2050

[Gavin Excell]

Given this thread has gone off course and is now ably and refreshingly considering left field centre concepts- can i note the 35th anniversary of Fast Times at Ridgemont High

We seemed to manage just fine in the 70's, 80's and 90's

Hence my post about random events with patterns. Do we live in a Hawthorn winning universe?

No.
Hawthorn fail for ever

We live in a world where Donald Trump is President so it's possible. I mean, this is clearly someone else's dystopian alternate reality

Heavens above are you pathologically unable to discuss your own club without the deflection?

Our doping saga has precisely zero to do with big Jeff buying into fan fiction, now, does it?

I disagree, your doping saga now means that we must endure the endless Essendon are back bull$hit through the club and media. Afl realised that they went too hard on Carlton for salary cap cheating and it made them basically look ineffective for 15 years +.

They are pulling out all stops so that the Essendon cash cow is back in business. The media propaganda was so strong that it cost Ryan Burton the rising star award. What a joke.

Hard not to conclude that Hawthorn in crisis

 

[Bombermania]

Considering the Hawks record over the past forty years this doesn't sound overly ambitious, surely they would be closer to 25 flags by 2050.

I agree... Only 7 flags in 32 years? Pfft what an embarrassment that would be.

 

[Badesumofu]

Reading between the lines... Jeff's 5two50 plan turned into 8four70 in reality. So if we translate 2050 vision into that format we 32seven[undefined]. So what we should expect is therefore, is to win 14 flags in the next 51 years.

I believe I will be okay with this. Well, anything will be better than this current flag drought. Genius stuff from Jeff, really.

This. Considering we won 4 in 8 years, and 8 in 20 from the early 70s to the early 90s, 7 in 32 years will be a walk in the park. Only a fool or an opposition supporter blinded by hawk-envy would doubt us.

HAWTHORN ARROGANCE

 

[Badesumofu]

More good points - Hawthorn have won 10 flags in the past 40 years. Really it would be a bit of a disappointment if took until 2050 to win another lazy 7 of them. 2045 is closer to the mark.

I believe I will be okay with this.

I’m coming around to the idea.

Disappointing times anead for much loved hawks fans

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I remember the last time Hawthorn made a bold plan to win more flags and have more members...Bigfooty weren’t very complimentary of the chances of that happening.*

*theres some serious gold in that thread.

Little did they know, at that moment another Kennett Curse with them winning no flags for the next 100 years had begun

Threads not about Freo.

Truth be told 7 flags in 32 years would be pretty underwhelming. I’d expect a higher target from Jeff.

Seems a little conservative to me.
