Opinion List the Top 5 Midfields

[Wild Bill]

It's funny. Majority would say we're a better club than you but that's because it's true. Oh and at leasf we blood youth.

10th V 4th. I will let you work out which is better.

10th V 4th. I will let you work out which is better.

Oldest list in the AFL vs a list with 33 under 25.

 

[Jesslc]

Hawthorns depth is what sets them apart (obviously biased) we have so many players that go into the guts.
This year I think you'll see Stratton, Gibson & Birchall also go into the middle.

lol good call on that one

Was a bad call but guess what we're Premiers so I don't give a flying f***!

The same place where North Melbourne beat minor premiers Sydney in the 1996 Grand Final.
