Was in M9 standing and enjoying a good game. In the final quarter, turned to the side and saw a Hawthorn supporter out cold, on the ground, and the police jumped some Richmond fan. My mate and some others got him into the recovery position before police and aid workers took over. Didn't see...

Rioli: forward or midfielder? Don't blink, or you'll miss him DateJuly 19, 2012 By Emma Quayle Cyril Rioli is running himself into a new role. CYRIL Rioli has heard what everyone says about him. How they love the way he chases, tackles, picks pockets, kicks goals from impossible angles and...

Hawks' revival hopes Matt Murnane May 29, 2012 http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/hawks-revival-hopes-20120528-1zfdh.html "Wallace, a dual best-and-fairest winner at Hawthorn, said the most pressing issue was the midfield balance and whether the club could continue...

Is there room for these Stratton, Schoenmakers, Gibson & Gilham in the same back line?? Stratton 189cm Schoenmakers 193cm Gibson 189cm Gilham 192cm & Birchall 193cm Just wondering whether people think the backline is too tall, but no one individually tall enough? Playing Stratton...

This article sums up the a lot of the Hawthorn problem in one line. "Perhaps that made Hawthorn's lack of effort even more stark. What is becoming patently obvious, though, is the gap between perception and reality with a side making a habit of becoming the AFL's great tease. And some...

Just throwing his name up for discussion as he never seems to be under the microscope. Is not having his best season and that stupid coat-hanger job on Jake King, in the first quarter, was hardly inspiring from a leader and indicative of a guy under a bit of pressure. Whilst he wasn't in our...

Just thought it was interesting to note that during the Malthouse reign, the Pies had only won the GF on one occasion out of 5 attempts. Probably lucky the Saints showed up that year.

Amazing game by Lewis. Great season and capped off with a great final game.

Just a quick heads up

How surprising is it if a Hawthorn player takes a overhead mark in a contested situation?? Hugely!! We have next to no one who can do one of the greatest aspects of watching AFL football. Our backline struggles when the ball goes in the air, with our serviceable 6 footers looking for the punch...

I mean that's the same as Hawthorn and Collingwood/Bulldogs/Saints. Wasn't as if you dominated or anything.

Watching the game yesterday, I kept thinking that Campbell Brown should have been played in the backline. He did get one goal and provides defensive forward pressure, but surely with that side we had heaps of other options: Peterson, Hooper, Ozzie, Whitecross... to do the same job. The ball also...

Today's game versus Sydney might be a little reflective of our season. We let the thing slip early, pulled hard to bring it back into a positive position, but in the end our poor form early caught up with us. Finals contention is still in our own hands, but shocking form over the last...

With two wins in the past two weeks, and Campbell Brown leading the way with his hard nut best in our defensive half, I think it's time to put to bed the experiment of Brown playing in attack. We've got the goal sneaks and forward pressure in Hooper, Osborne, Rioli and co to handle the job...

Hawthorn won, so suck it down, you losers. You know who you are and you're pathetic. :thumbsu: :D

After Campbell Brown gave him a bit of a welcome to the big league, Jackson lost his cool and went the weak heatbutt. How many weeks are the AFL paying out these days, for gutless headbutts? 2-3 weeks? http://www.afl.com.au/video/tabid/76/videoid/54243/campbell+brown+bump/default.aspx#VideoPlayerB

Why did McLaren start the first quarter at the Hawthorn attacking end?? Then the second... Then the third... And finally starter the fourth in the middle. The first 3/4's the lovely McLaren started as the umpire in our forward line. WHY? Surely they should have switched it up?

That Mitchell to tackle to save the game was just AMAZING! Awe inspiring effort from the captain. :thumbsu:

Just checked out the goal kicking ladder and it reads as: Pavlich 27 Brown 25 Fevola 24 Kennedy 23 Bradshaw 23 Hall 20 Roughead 19 (19 goals 16 behinds.) People have been raving about Bradshaw's season and he's just 4 goals ahead of Roughead, with a team on fire, drilling the ball to him. Hall...

If Hawthorn steps up and beats West Coast I will... 1. Book my ticket for the Round 12 versus Adelaide game in Tasmania 2. Be nice to my fellow Hawthorn Bigfooty Supporters for the rest of the month. (This will take some doing... :rolleyes:) 3.Write a letter of apology to Clarkson, on behalf...

Remember the decision to let Gibson off the hook after the pussycat doll issue. Didn't seem like much of an issue at the time, yet years previously Hodge got dropped for a birthday party Interesting to see we're allowing "new" players to have fun and do what they wish without consequence...

There is an "issue" down at Hawthorn and it needs to come out. The side is a disgrace from the selection committee, coach and players... right at this moment. I watched a club with Buddy, Hodge and Rioli playing their guts out for it. Loads of others looked soft as mustard. Everyone is...

Looks like Ablett tackled the tackle out of his shorts....

I predicted Roughead to shine tonight, in a Buddy-less forward line. He had two gettable shots in the first quarter, one an absolute gimmey, but failed to convert. He's been kicking like a spud all season, but still has 12 goals for the season! Good, but could be better! Has been good, without...

Sorry, but Mitchell played a shocker today. His kicking was terrible... the worst of his kicks put Lewis into complete strife. Looked shell-shocked by his own woeful kicking, especially after the Lewis kick. Thoughts?

Could have been a Blues win if Carlton Captain Cornea Crippler taken the field. Oh well... :rolleyes:

Thinking about having a crack at the AFL membership. Looks like a pretty good deal as the club gets roughly the equivalent of my usual membership. Anyone else do the AFL membership thing? Thoughts? (I'm guessing i wouldn't get my Hawthorn Membership Scarf, though...?)

Who on out list make up our forward line? Talls Roughead, Franklin, Dowler & Thorp Mediums & Smalls Williams, Rioli, Osborne, MyGlynn & Moss Not sure if others make up the core of our forward line, but surely we couldn't trade one of our tall forwards. If one of the twin towers go...

Now that chrome dome jnr has stuck it to his Dad, over winning a brownlow, what are the things Gary Ablett Snr could tell his son that he has done that his son hasn't. How about that, Son? I choked in 3 Grand Finals.
