'Questions that don't warrant a thread' Thread - Part 2

[PenAndPaper]

Why don't we (and other clubs) have an indigenous name for Sir Doug Nicholls round, but other clubs do?

Some clubs only do it for their home game in the two rounds

 

[phlogiston]

Potentially suburbs of Melbourne don’t have a separate Indigenous place name and are all classed as Naarm so there’s no name to distinguish us.

Not sure if it's considered a place name per se, but Boroondara means "where the ground is thickly shaded".

Why do some "Welcome to Hawthorn <player name>" threads' titles end in an exclamation mark, and others don't?

So Hawthorn is Number 1 Naarm.

Depends on whether or not SYL had a Snickers when he made it.

The indigenous name for North Melbourne is Shitat Marngrook.

Player U'19's Late Sixties​

My late brother played for Hawthorn Under 19's but Hawthorn can give me only one of his two jumper numbers. Can you help? His name was Joe Humphrey.

today and thought as both a Suns and Crows player he could answer some questions on the humidity levels as I know it’s become somewhat of a joke on these boards.

Said it was a huge factor and it was basically like playing in the rain. Specifically did sessions in dewy times such as morning to train for conditions.

Makes me wonder given the NT drubbing that the Suns gave the Cats - are they a wet weather specialist side that’s used to playing in dewy grass?!

Hi guys, hoping for a favour, does anyone have any footage or stories about one of Hawthorns most famous supporters from a few years ago, the big fat lift man who would stand up and go “Liiiiiiiiifffffffffffttttttttttttt hawwwwtthhoorrrnnnnnnnnnn lliiiiiiiiiffftttttttttttttttttt”.

I was hoping to find something on YouTube but no luck!

Did the lyrics to our song ever say “one for all and all for one is the way we PLAY at hawthorn” or am I imagining it? I know they sing ‘Are’ now but could’ve sworn it was play when I was a kid.

We're a happy team at Hawthorn
We're the Mighty Fighting Hawks.
We love our Club, and we play to win,
Riding the bumps with a grin (at Hawthorn).
Come what may, you'll find us striving
Team work is the thing that talks,
One for all and all for one
Is the way we play at Hawthorn.
We are the Mighty Fighting Hawks.​

They sing are. We sing play

 

[tl92]

They sing are. We sing play

Bizarre.

Odd because they play and we are.

So went to the game yesterday was great to see the whole team play so well couldn't be prouder. My bone to pick is I've got a general membership, rang up the headquarters asked if the general admission will get me and my mate into level one, she said yes, cool. Been to alot of games this was the case so I thought it was a sure thing, than when we got there the stewards said no today general admin is level 4! I asked why and they said they don't know they were just told this morning that's what's happening. Can anyone give me an explanation why this happened? I don't live in Melbourne so when I go to the footy it's a special occasion, and 36,000 is far from a sellout crowd, if anyone has any insight please let me know.

Why is Kath a boundary rider for WA these days.
What’s happened that she lost the chair Saturday nights on Fox

Can remember seeing him at the footy many times over the years and a few times on Street Talk (usually the Footscray ones?).

On a different note, does the club advertise open training dates and times in advance? Live in the country and looking at taking the kids to one in the school holidays. Do the players generally sign autographs and take photos, etc after training or is this only reserved for the family day, etc? Cheers.

Does anyone have insight as to when the HFC Foundation jumpers will be sent out?
This is the one for the Kennedy Centre.

Why on earth do I keep getting notifications about threads on the Swans board?
