Hawthorn to play finals in 2024?

[SSSSSS]

We don’t know how to pick players in the draft so may as well throw the kitchen sink at everyone coming out of contract….

I’d also like to know who this core group of young talent are at Hawthorn apart from Newcombe…..

You didn't say 'rebuilds are hard work' at the end.


Maybe Day, Weddle, MacDonald and McKenzie could do it for you?

What have i done to deserve that backhander mate?

As hawthorn are about to find out.

Been pretty kreuzy so far.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

As hawthorn are about to find out.

Hawthorn are about to find out nothing they didn’t already know.

Second youngest list in the comp, building nicely, still have plenty of bumps in the road to navigate and will build into the year as players return and the forward line gels.

North are still yet to find out / still finding out / may never find out

Who is the youngest list, again? Remind me?

What an odd response. Thread is about Hawthorn.

We were last year. 7 wins was the bottom.

It's all gravy from here on now.

17 wins in 2024 or bust.

Rebuilds are hard work.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Only one team literally wears a s**t coloured uniform though

its ******* dumb when ppl just can't admit they are s**t.

Could have had Sanders running through the guts this year but we are left with Nash again…..a player that wouldn’t get a game for any other AFL side….

Could, but most likely won't. If you believe Hawthorn are a bottom 4 team, as I do, then their schedule for 2024 is actually really nasty. Not a lot of likely wins on the fixture in my humble opinion. In fact, I'll demonstrate...

Below is how I project the season for both teams. I assume you'll disagree and that's fine. Regardless, a few notes for my projections;

• Even though I have NMFC as better than Hawthorn, I have us splitting the games. But obviously if North sweeps Hawthorn, or vice versa, that's a big swing in W/L totals for both teams.
• This only projects what I personally consider to be likely wins, and doesn't account for upsets (such as NMFC or Hawthorn beating teams when they play them in Tassie, etc)
• I'm not claiming this as a scientific process that will eventuate. Just explaining my subjective opinion of where both teams are at in the course of their rebuilds etc.

You’re asking someone who tips us to lose by 6 to 10 goals in every match day thread.

It proves how young and inexperienced they are that they have so much free cap space.

Its how the system works.

Lots of good players and 6 or 7 guns. Little to no cap space.

Team full of kids and a handfull of mature players, mega cap space.

A good KPI that they wont be playing finals this year. They simply dont have the depth.

 

[Obeanie1]

We are poo but North and the Eagles are historically poo.

There are levels to this game.

Hawks are one or two key injuries away from being bottom 3.

If they had the injury run the Eagles had they would be last.

Have lost Jaith and Day already. If Lewis got injured its bottom 3 in 2024.

Hawks fans a tad delusional thinking they are way ahead in the rebuild game. And rebuilds are not linear, at some point you cop a setback of some sort.

Several Hawks fans on here are all rainbows and unicorns in their predictions and hopes. This is the toughest sport and comp in the world and a serious challenge for young lists with 23 games to play.

Hawthorn to play finals in 2024?

Not a chance in hell!!

I am unsure what is worse, the fact that this thread was started, or the fact there has been 18 pages of replies.

Hawthorn will be back and they will win it again because that is what they do, they just must be a fun club to follow.
Mitchell is going about it the right way IMO, starting again and a complete rebuild.
He certainly has one eye fixed on the future, he is building for a tilt at a flag, not just finals.

But 2024!!!!!

Please just close as there is more chance of moving the Westgate Bridge, than Hawthorn making finals this year.
