Who should have the coveted number 23?

Re: Who should have the converted number 23?

And we did it despite having Ken Judge in charge.

As I said it was amazing

Ken did something no coach has done since at Hawthorn; Schwab,Connally, Ronald McDonald or the BIG AL. He won us a piece of silver ware.

2001?

Only memoriable thing about 2001 was the QF Final about the scum.
Oh so close.

2001 had it's own special mediocrity. 8 wins in the first 8 matches, then we won only 5 games in final 14 rounds. A reasonably good finals series flattered us a little.

Very true.

1996 was also good, just to make the finals was a hell of an achievement

Lost to the swans in Sydney by a goal

We were flying that night until Dunstall went down.

The irony is that if we would have won we would have knocked Essendon out of the finals. Which would have been even better then usual since it was Salmon's first year away from the ugg booters.

What about the 2001 semi final at Football Park in the Wet, one of my favourite games of all time

I loved listening to it on radio with a SA feed. Talk about one eyed. Adelaide Hawk I can understand what you have to put up with through those stupid commentators. I shudder to think of the locals

I danced in the streets that night. What makes it better is when you listen to the parochial South Australian commentary as well, its rather enjoyable.

If it's radio station 5AA you're talking about, they are a joke. I don't listen to them which means I have to rely upon the paper and Internet for my footy news. We had SEN in Adelaide for a few months which was fantastic, but it went off air.

I have a mate who was doing the stats for 5AA that evening, he is an avid Hawks fan. He said when the siren rang and Hawks won, everyone in the 5AA box were devastated, and he just wanted to jump up and down and punch the air with delight. One of the great nights in Hawk history.

Well, no I wasn't ... not a bad idea though

CJ for me.

In the mould of Derm and Buddy, a flamboyant gamebreaker that will bring people to the footy and that has you expecting something exciting whenever they are near the ball.
