You argued for about 3 pages that the injuries to key players had no effect on our side, because "they all played in your bad losses, so they would add nothing even if they were fit".
That you'd still try and argue that dumb logic after last night says it all.
Quite the opposite Mr Hawk.
When saw the result thought I would pop in to see what the happy Hawk fans were going with, presumed it would be along the lines of the yooff is better than many think, only one win out of the eight etc.
But to see you use that result as some kind of vindication in relation to the supposed key players you were missing was surprising, as the majority are still missing!!
The R14 team was a much younger and inexperienced team compared to the one that played in the R2 loss to the Crows. How does that performance somehow back up your point? Brand, Hardwick, Burton and even Sicily down back were great...what do you gain by dropping them for Gibson, Stratton and Frawley?
Howe was magnificent on Sloane; Langford and Hartung actually gave run and carry.
Just imagine if the Hawks had actually traded well in the off-season....scary thought
