They'd be behind the handbaggers if they weren't "gifted" a dream draw every season.
Ditto Carlton

The AFL no where its at, they are now part of the aspirational middle class :)

The types that bought their council houses off the Iron Lady in the 80s, watch ACA and aspire to appearing in VB ads

They should leave it to the Pies, Hawks and Eagles to get shit done

nearly as much as you do :D
Show me one post where I've complained in this thread? I simply put forward a view, which turned out to be incorrect, but that happens often here, as in life. Best not to get yourselves too caught up in it all. Enjoy your win, you're hanging in there, despite all the terrible hardship.

...in Sydney and despite this amazingly were still ahead of you on the ladder. Well see in a month how you go on our deck
They struggled to beat Richmond on a proper oval, Hawks and Port will do a number on them away from the SCG.

Try not to thank the afl enough when buddy runs out.
You have Richmond to thank for him ever pulling on the wee and poo.

Oh, and the fact you tanked for the picks, don't forget that.

We all should be happy to have seen him play, I certainly am, and have been for years. He is a truly remarkable footballer, was at Hawforn, and remains so at Sydney.

You have no idea.

Footscray screwed up the draft.

Hawthorn never tanked for picks.

Other teams just have millions more to buy who ever they choose.

Who need picks when you can just buy players with cola?

I'd say you're living in the 70s but remembered Essendon didn't turn up for that decade (Hawthorn, North, Richmond, Carlton and Collingwood did - guess Essendon were busy with the Melbournes, the Footscrays etc).

Guess I should say you're living in the 40s then.
thats funny the club did penuts for that decade, came back in the 80s and 90s, & gone missing for the last 13 years and are still more popular than the hawks:cool:
what happened when the hawks went missing in the 90s, they where broke and about to merge but didnt thanks to Jeff & his politition mates didnt want that and to get popular again lived off hand outs & sold games to Tassie:thumbsu:
10 points for being the usual whorethorn flog

Mabye when the druggies get anywhere hawthorn membership numbers,you can talk.until then,rely on the afl gifting you blockbuster games to make a profit.
they get the block buster games because K Sheedy re started the ancaz day tradition, as well as the Dream time games, Essendon made those games what they are they also turn many games in to block buster games because of the sheer size of the club, which results in the crowds that attends the game, hence after being pretty terrible the last 13 years, they are still one of the financialty strongest AFL clubs,
