I'd be staggered if there was no punishment for Hawthorn. A fine seems the most reasonable outcome

Good fightback.
Showed a lot of signs. Port did have the cue in the rack to be fair after the third quarter.

A fine gets divvied up among the clubs in general revenues. A terrible look.
Needs to be a huge donation to some non footy Indigenous programs

Commenting quarter by quarter does seem to be a bit dumb
Never believed Mitchell to be tanking but gee, shifting Frosty to the forward line is stretching the friendship and he’d want to be careful of not being pinged for bringing the game into disrepute …

The commentators wanted more changes than that. Then when it happens’ gee something funny going on a FORM of tanking

Pretty obvious they tanked the first half.
That or port had coin on themselves for an under 60 win.

You’ve been a bit quiet.Never believed Mitchell to be tanking but gee, shifting Frosty to the forward line is stretching the friendship and he’d want to be careful of not being pinged for bringing the game into disrepute …
You’ve been a bit quiet.
Any Dingley developments I’ve missed ?
Would you envisage any further scaling back of the project in light of possible incoming financial sanctions and outgoing Tasmanian sponsorship/membership ?
The hawks have a lot on their plate atm but doubt tanking is an issue …

You’ve no doubt missed a heap while contemplating who your next coach should be.
I find it interesting that Carlton supporters are accusing a team of tanking, a team that has only one less win than them.

And over 22 games not just 12

Roby, having read my post closely and not just looked at the team supported, you would have no doubt noted that i don’t subscribe to the hawthorn tanking theory.
Hawthorn simply appear to be a genuine bottom 4 club and supporters have largely accepted that.
I’m keenly interested in the hawks rebuild and certainly, Dingley is central to that.
Loss of sponsorship/membership and possible incoming financial sanctions from the racism scandal may have ramifications for the Dingley project.
Any draft sanctions would obviously be catastrophic for the list rebuild.
This thread is dedicated to hawthorns rebuild and tanking allegations.
I’m sure the mods would appreciate it if we all concentrated on the topic at hand …

I did read your post. You said "I doubt tanking is an issue". You're basically leaving the door open for a possibility. It's really not an issue although you may doubt it.
On the previous page there was a Carlton supporter saying that the AFL should strip Hawthorn of picks. Maybe you should read the thread and it's context before getting on a high horse.
Sage advice as you would have noted in your thread research that I’ve posted a few times i don’t believe tanking to be an issue.
The rebuild and related matters are of much greater interest …
