Top moment for me was a Richmond fan screaming over their child at another Richmond fan about Jack Riewoldt's performance.

Jack lining up for a junk time goal after doing nothing all day, guy in a tigers jumper hits the Bronx cheer and takes the piss out of him, Richmond fan about 10 seats down pushes their child down by the back of the head so they can lean over them and yell at this other fan "leave him alone, go support another team you dog".

Was like a well written symphony of feral.

We lost by 50 to this team
We lost to them by 46

Same as richmond just did with no Mitchell

Eagles could learn so much from this club at all levels.
Every club, and I mean every club, could learn from the Hawks

They'e had some nice slices of luck with things but by and large it's no accident they've won the last three

Well coached, well run but truth is they're about to fall off a cliff just as the threepeat lions did

i personally dont think they will fall away like that. I think they are well run and as a destination club will still get good pick ups via other clubs and their ability to develop talent is great. They get these players like Hartung & Duryea from no where and they just turn into solid players.
Their ability to be honest with their players like Schoenmakers end of 14 about where he sits in the scheme of things (I think they told him they want him but he is not best 22 at the moment and they wouldn't stop him from wanting game time elsewhere) with no guarantees he decides to stay work hard and crack a game and plays in a premiership. You cant buy that kind of competition for spots and loyalty.
They moved on Hale, Lake this year and haven't missed a beat. They will lose Burgoyne, Mitchell & Hodge very soon but have a great core of:

Rioli
Gunston
Breust
McEvoy
Hartung
Lewis
Duryea
Poppy
Stratton
Birchall
Gibson
Shiels

See them Geelonging their way back but even without that kind of drop off and not needing to get a name like Dangerfield.

Jeez if you all love Hawthorn so much why don't you just marry them? That is if Daniel Chick doesn't mind. Be sure to let me know which church you'll be at too so that I can set the place on fire.

So the top 8 heading into this round are a combined 18-0 at home against interstate opponents. But no, it's the Eagles who "can't win away" according to every media douche.

Best interstate win by anyone this season is probably Norf at GC, which doesn't say much.

GWS met with Fremantle yesterday to talk on McCarthy , seems they are talking on trade also ........Fremantle offered there 2016 first pick in hindsight GWS should have accepted as a top 5 pick could have been on the cards !!

It's the same narrative every year if you're an interstate side. I mean, just look at the current obsession with Dangerfield. Apparently moving cities instantly made him a better player.

I thought Dangerfield has been considered a top A-grade mid for at least the last couple of years. He's exactly the kind of player we need here.

Reminds me of how they fawned over Ben (Cousins) when he moved to Richmond for a fresh start in the twilight of his career
That's because the Herald Sun will publish anything remotely involving Richmond.

I hate to think what would happen if they finally made a GF

More SuperCoach questions.

Captain Goldstein or Captain Franklin (playing KPD-less Essendon)
Goldy is sore and in doubt if you listen to rumours. It explains his turd score from last week. Other than that, Hickey has been good at matching it in the ruck, kept his opponent to low-ish supercoach scores each week.

Buddy all the way, always kicks a bag against Essendon
