More like lol-lywood hawks. The pies will make the GF while we lament a wasted period under this awful regime...

 

[philreich]

Talk about statistic overload - they just said on 3AW that the last Hawthorn goal was the 80000th goal at the MCG since 1897.

Hawthorn are shit

 

[240volt]

Can’t understand why Hawthorn are shit, there coach is young and has hair!

 

[Ford Fairlane]

As funny as it is to see #freekickhawthorn get the rough end of the pineapple from the umps, some of these decisions have been laughable.

Collingwood player soccers the ball straight to the boundary line 40m away, throw in. Meek does a fresh air fend, free kick in front of goal to Collingwood for high contact.

Even the commentators are trying hang Meek for the late spoil, After Pearce pulled a Houdini escape act at the tribunal concussing our player without seeming to make any attempt at a mark or spoil, no one should ever get rubbed out again.

Mitchell is looking massively overrated as a coach. His entire Plan B is Move Sicily forward.

Maybe the second half of last season was the aberration in Hawthorn's trajectory.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Hoks exposed as fakes. Aint winning shite.

Yep - this year and last year.

This year after Rd 11 against the current top 8, which will probably only change by 1 position I reckon, are 1-3 and will be 1-4 after tonight and 6-1 against the bottom 10.

Last year they were 4-5 against top 8 and 10-4 against bottom 10 and they played and won the 7 games they played against the bottom 4 - Adelaide, WCE (once), Norf and Richmond.

He's been pretty honest in the media I reckon he basically hasn't been pleased with the stat sheet & KPI's even when they've been winning.

But the Corn calls him a gEnIuS.

[PortAdelFC1997]

Whilst the Hawks rebuild and list strategy are great, they are still a few years away from genuinely contending and their so-called "depth" is proving to be more of a myth than a reality.

Billy Frampton has beaten him after half time.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Maybe so but that doesn't make him a good coach. Before the hawks went on their winning run last year, you could hear the knives sharpening. Next he was being lauded and people were lining up to hand them this year's flag. Now they're sinking into the mire again. And he's been well-supported with recruiting.

Hopefully they'll rediscover last year's form against the crows in a week or two.

Hawthorn look good when they're getting a mountain of free kicks

 

[JimmyBC]

Houston 22 disposals guess he's finally starting to warm into it over there.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

As overrated as I think Hawthorn are, they are a lot better side - maybe 3 or 4 goals, with Will Day playing in the middle for them.

Last year they were 12-4 with him and 3-6 without him, including finals games. He missed the last 3 games of the year.

This year they were 4-0 before he got the stress fracture in his foot and may not play again this year,

He hasn't played against Port in Gather Rd this year and the SF last year.

Love to get an assistant out of Collingwood and steal some secret sauces , they are so clean with their hands, so preictable to each other in the ball movement, just all in sync and for the oldest group exceptionally fit.

He had a howler of a first quarter though

Hayden Skipworth is their midfield coach and maybe we can entice him back to SA. He was a hard arsed tagger / defender who played a bit forward for the crows. Helped WWT break their GF hoodoo against Centrals in 2006.

Let’s see how much slack Sam Mitchell is cut if he only manages a solitary Elimination Final loss over the next 5 years.

Do I recall he played a bit for the Dons as well?

Meanwhile at Port, the players have to try harder and longer at the contest.
