No, I don't think that's being harsh. I haven't seen much of Rankine playing for Gold Coast, but I watched him play for West Adelaide in the SANFL. My assessment of him was definitely an AFL talent, but a selfish player who puts himself ahead of team. Unless he learns the team ethic, he may struggle.
Yeah, can’t blame them.True
They must’ve checked out as soon as the siren went
No. When you get run from behind your forwards run forward and give someone deep to kick to. When you slow play they come at the ball and leave nothing behind them.Did anyone at the ground notice if the fwds held position more? it seemed so
Probably due to a complete lack of pressureI am sure some will point to a change in game plan for this game but there was none. We still need to be better in the center square but our stoppage work was much better including our run and spread.
Yes of course the conditions did play a partProbably due to a complete lack of pressure
I just hope people don’t get carried away by yesterday’s performanceYes of course the conditions did play a part
I wouldn't think anyone here would be thinking that mate. We need players with class and x factor. Some game changing players be that through the draft FA or tradingI just hope people don’t get carried away by yesterday’s performance
It was great, no doubt, but the Suns were on annual leave
We need a lot of things to go right over the next couple of years for us to be back where we want us to be

Agree. Yesterday was fools gold. So many of our players look like superstars when the pressure is off and we can't make finals.With 24 hours to reflect on what was a class send off full of Hawthorn culture and integrity I hope we keep perspective as a club. This time last year our list depth was badly miscalculated. Our ladder position doesn’t lie; Wingard, Day, Mitchell and O’Meara are genuine talents of the competition but we desperately need more. Two of Lewis, O’Brien and Ceglar need to be traded, yesterday proved that. Having not being deemed good enough for most of the year poppy and Moore got kicks at will, says so much about the intensity of the game. We need to be ruthless to succeed, not hope it happens.
I think the list cuts more or less mandate a level of ruthlessness. In saying that I’m beating Lewis and O’Brien are both on the list next year.Agree. Yesterday was fools gold. So many of our players look like superstars when the pressure is off and we can't make finals.
Put any bearing on the game, and they go to water.
Must be ruthless this time. Or more of the same sh*t awaits us.
There’s an interview that where Burgoyne said “hub life didn’t agree with us. It just didn’t agree with us at all”.I haven’t listened to SEN all year but put it on for a short time this morning. It was interesting listening to Gerard Whately this morning with his commentary on the bottom 10
Hawks - Horrid season - didn’t like hub life, made no secret they didn’t like hub life, didn’t like Sydney hub at all and hated life in the Barossa. Yesterday was a fitting tribute for two premiership players but we aren't really going to know where they are at until next season
Essendon, Melbourne, north and GWS got slammed but surprisingly he just wasn’t ready to write us or the coach off as a bad season
There’s an interview that where Burgoyne said “hub life didn’t agree with us. It just didn’t agree with us at all”.
I’d love to know more.
Seems we really just cracked the shits and sooked it up.
