Guys going to be a super coach.
I know some people on here think it’s nuts to say this but Hawthorn are arguably the best team in the comp right now and it’s going to take a seriously good team to beat them in September.
They can absolutely win the flag.
They can absolutely win the flag.
I don't think it's nuts more than it pisses me and a lot of us the **** off.
Just flown right past us in the space of 3 months.
Sam Mitchell is a bum.

Yuck. The worst part of that is they’re taking advantage of the exact same opportunity this season presented to us, that we have somehow managed to completely bottle
Pound for pound similar ages, experience levels. I don’t even think they’re better than us line for line.
We just stagnated and they’ve kept improving.
But the real difference is the coaching
None the less the
can definitely coach.That list whilst young and has some very good young players it is still playing 3 levels above realistically what they should be given their overall talent
Amazing
Yeah but he pisses all over our coach no matter what you think of him.
Coaching and all the advantages you get as a Victorian side.
The cheap recruits.
Selling home games against similar teams in the ladder.
Lack of travel.
I'd put it out there that our final ladder positions would probably be just about swapped if we played in Victoria and they played in WA.
Sadly their not and I’d argue anyone if it’s even debatable
*with the disclaimer being their small fwds absolutely piss all over ours
Yeah it's not as simple as that. We should definitely be a lot higher than we are right now. Our stagnation just coincides with injuries, whereas they've had all their players return right in time for this run they're on. I don't think there's much between us and them, but the little things add up.
One thing they've well and truly got us covered in is forward talent.
They are seriously well drilled. Very player knows their role well and the team played with confidence and assurance and swagger.
Thats the main difference between us and them. I’d argue we have more talent.
Yet again, all those little factors that can have a big difference when compared side by side with us.
A lot of salary cap to work with and a guarantee that you will be b22 and they can entice just about anyone they want. No one is coming to Perth unless they're from WA. Rules us out of getting all these cheap recruits like Ginnivan, Meek, D'ambrosio etc.
God it's depressing isn't it? Just sucks the will to live outta ya.
That all counts but they have a psychological advantage too.
They choked a game vs Port early in the year and Sam Mitchell went to town on it and the coaches improved their tactics and the players improved their mindset. He’s on SEN every week here in Melbourne and talks about that game a lot. They annihilate last quarters now.
We choked our early game vs Carlton then… proceeded to choke almost every other close game for the rest of the year too. And JL seemed to learn nothing each time except how to get more and more anxiety from it.
We definitely have more talented players. Hawks just have this unwavering arrogance and belief in themselves that honestly propels them over the line a lot more, whereas we seem a lot more timid and reserved. Didn't Buckley say that we were a very introverted group compared to a lot of other teams?

You only have to go back two weeks to see how Hawks choked another huge fourth quarter lead. 28 points up and lost to GWS.
The only difference with them now is that they're getting big enough leads that the game is over by the fourth.
They've also been blessed with their run home. Only losses vs GWS and Geelong but get to play Richmond x2, WCE, Adelaide x2, banged up Carlton and a horribly out of form Collingwood.
Only game in that lot that was actually close that they won was vs us. And that was more so on us than them with Meek getting to run over Jackson and Pearce being out injured.
No, Buckley said the coaches box is quiet and reserved compared to others

Hawks are gonna be without Will Day for a few weeks. Broken collarbone.
lol the Hawks have improved a lot but they aren't that good, a lot of wins against average to crap opposition.
He definitely said the players were quiet and introverted as well.
