Yeah, it's part of why I feel like we can't compare with either side. The Hawks '08 side had Hodge, Birchall, Lewis, Mitchell, Franklin, Rioli, Roughead, Brown and Ellis, who were all involved in the later premierships in some capacity (if I'm not mistaken). The majority of our experienced or middle aged guys involved in the 2016 premiership have since retired (Clay Smith, Robert Murphy*, Matthew Boyd, Shane Biggs) or moved on (Jordan Roughead, Luke Dahlhaus, Jake Stringer, Joel Hamling), plus Dale Morris and Liam Picken will probably be retiring this year. If we make another grand final any time soon, it's likely to involve maybe half the side we fielded that day, and most of them were quite young at the time:
JJ, Wood, Hunter, Bont, Macrae, Cordy, Boyd, Libba, Dunkley, McLean, Daniel.
We may have been a premature premier, but it will take a while for us to really rebuild properly, given that the majority of our experienced guys from 2016 are gone
West Coast: 54,304 kmsdid you see last season ? last season we almost travelled as much as a WA team did ..
Where'd the data come from? I dont doubt it but I'd be curious to see a comprehensive list.West Coast: 54,304 kms
Fremantle: 50,882 kms
St Kilda: 17,186 kms
Not sure which team you mean, regardless that's not even close to an accurate statement.

It includes Port and GC's travel to China, which makes it interesting.
how does it stack up against the rest of the melbourne teams ?? compared to the rest of the Melbourne based teams St Kildas travel schedule was (now here is the key word) ALMOST like an interstate club...West Coast: 54,304 kms

They should really include travel between Geelong and Melbourne even it's not flying.
There's a fair distance between the two cities.
That and you dont have to stay in a different bed etc.That would only add a few hundred kilometres to the total. That doesn't even get you out of the state if you're a Perth-based team.

It only seems a long way to Victorians because of how insular they are. Melbourne to Geelong is a commute.Travel between Geelong and Melbourne still adds up though, only seems like a short distance to Perth people because of how isolated Perth is.

Pretty much a standard commute for many Sydney residents. Even for some of our players crossing the City to Olympic Park.
isn't it just over an hour on a comfy bus? I know people who take longer on their everyday work commute
Geelong is not Travel .... if you can wake up in your own bed , play and then go to bed in your own bed in the same day its not travelAnybody who thinks 1hr trip between the cities should be recorded as "travel" needs rocks thrown at their heads
Takes people longer to get to work...

Bulldogs stayed the night in a hotel down in Geelong one year when they played there. Think it was 2016 if I remember correctly.
We have such a s**t record down there we are trying anything to try and get a win there....
Every side has a s**t record there except Sydney for some reason.
