Ian Dicker rigging the draw?

manicmagpie · Oct 8, 2003

Well, it looks like Hawthorn only play 3 away games interstate this year. And guess what, they don't travel to Perth! And this after only going there once this year. I expect a lot of people to question the role Ian Dicker has played in all of this. Obviously any success at all that Hawthorn acheives next season will be open to question.

This is disgraceful.
If they make the 8 it will come down to the rigged nature of the draw.
It is unfair that a club President has got involved in the proper workings of the AFL.
Shame Shame Shame Hawthorn

Where is the public outcry! Even the Pies went interstate 4 times last year!

GOALden Hawk · Oct 8, 2003

HSBC is a very powerful corporation.

We don't play an away game interstate after Round 8.

Not to mention we have the bye in Round 22.

Stevo · Oct 8, 2003

Not sure if it's at all possible, but it would be nice to see every Victorian side play a game in Perth, a game in Brisbane, a game in Adelaide, a game in Sydney.

We don't go to Brisbane this year (I'm disappointed at that, we usually pull a good crowd). Collingwood didn't go to Perth last year. Hawthorn don't go to Perth this year. Not sure what else there is...

In all seriousness, I think the Hawks should play in each state once. This means interstate supporters of the team may not get to see the Hawks play live at all.

I'm sorry, but it's a fixture list, not a draw. "Draw" implies some randomness.

Dane Swan Fan · Oct 8, 2003

Who cares? It's a pretty even DRAW.

Apparently Ian Dicker was spotted in very serious talks with Ian Johnson,
'Sam' Newman, and Trevor Marmalade this morning as well!!

Just adds to the underhanded way this whole fiasco is being dealt with.
What next a Hawthorn Footy Show on Channel 9 in prime time.
We need to put a stop to this unfairness now!!!

And no longer will there be an 'Eddywood', but a 'Hankthorn'

EG1978 · Oct 8, 2003

Ah, the Magpie fans come out of the wood work don't they. After a week of hibernation - they've resurfaced.

All year, they escaped the wrath of travelling to Subiaco. Considering it was the year of the 'hoodoo' that meant anywhere between 2-4 extra wins. But you didn't see Eddie complaining.
Only problem was, they got found well and truly found out on Grand Final day.

As for Ian Dicker having control of the 'draw', I'd like to see where that one came from. You all scoffed at claims that Eddie had a hand in it - oh that's right - no conflict of interest there - but Ian Dicker..? Come on..!

Nice

If Ian Dicker could rig the draw he would be our President for life. All you can do is take what the AFL give you. For our 3 interstate away trips the sides we play, play in WA the week before. We also get to play the Bulldogs after they play in WA and get to play Collingwood after we have a week off and they play in Sydney. Also for good measure Adelaide have to play two weeks in a row in Melbourne and you guessed it - we play them on the second week.

me_dane · Oct 8, 2003

There will never be a 'fair' draw until each team plays each other twice

Joel · Oct 8, 2003

Imagine the outcry if it was Collingwood.

Yze_Magic · Oct 8, 2003

Ian ****-head can rig the draw all he wants

David Neitz will still rip them to pieces in round 1, and the pansy Hawks wont make the finals despite the softest draw ive ever seen

The hawks pansies? Mitchell, Hodge, Brown vs Yze, Johnstone, Armstrong. Hmm...you'd have to hope for a free kick or two, or those sheepdogs will go statless. You have the softest side in the AFL bar none, and the most pitiful supporters.

Tell me, how does it feel to support a side that voted itself out of existence? Face it Tragic, you're just depressed we said no to the merger - threw away the only chance of success you'd ever have.

Enjoy the slopes next September.

Michell, Hodge, brown hahaha.. rightttttt

lets see if any of them stand in the way of Neitz

No chance

morgoth · Oct 9, 2003

Umm they won't have to as you will be lucky to get the ball down that end of the ground. You actually have to get the ball sometimes rather than hand around the wings.

I hope your new sponsor is Uncle Toby;s 'kick it to me, kick it to me', would suit your players.

Neitz is the most overrated hack in the competitiion. The only thing he knows to do is too gutlessly try to pommel smaller players.

Grow up Yze. Your constant love affair with Neitz is sickening.

THough I guess it makes it easier considering he is a homo.

morgoth · Oct 9, 2003

Nasty Jacqui! Can't wait for Yze tragic to point out his GF etc.

Still, me thinks you could be on to something.

Sera · Oct 9, 2003

Ian Dicker is an aspiring Eddie.

As Catman would say: Clueless fool.

I guess 147 goals in 2 years is 'hack' material hey?
