    Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

    I think he want's to play AFL not VFL so gettable. 2024 2nd rounder and 2025 2nd for their third - I just don't see GWS playing hardball when they have a good forward line. He was a pick in the 30's wasn't he? Hasn't made the seniors yet. Not sure how much more they could ask for him on that...

    Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

    Guessing. Ford is OOC - North haven't much bargaining. Do a deal for Harry Morrison maybe Max - 2nd rounder this year plus maybe swap future picks 2nd round for 3rd round? Andrew - Dunno mate - if he wants to come down, well we just get it done. GCS don't need picks so a player - I can only...

    Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

    Can I go probably too early for a wish-list? Mac Andrew - solves our KPD issues for 10 years. Will become an excellent player. 20 yrs old 202 cm. Never kicked a goal. Has significant baggage but will back Hawthorn in. OOC 2025 Eddie Ford - Honestly, this guy can play. In a rabble of a team...

    List Mgmt. 2024 Trade & List Management Thread

    Good morning gents. The consensus on our board is that if Hardwick leaves, and pretty much all the reliable ITK's say that's very unlikely, he will go to a team challenging for the Flag. However Harry Morrison is a player who would love to work with Clarkson again. They get on well. A good...

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Josh Ward. Extends to 2025!

    I think it's really really important that Josh be given a run of say the last 8 games in the midfield mix at AFL level. Tell him he's in unless injured or so badly out of form he needs a rest. He's a good 'un but I think he is maybe a little gun-shy after getting KO'd and concussed in his...

    Not underrated, but overlooked. Who and why?

    Brad Sewell. Always Hodge Mitchell and Lewis - Sewell was just as important in the midfield. Never liked the attention and criminally under-rated for mine.

    TGO was overcome this weekend with the Aurora Australia. "The Moon Gerard, where's the Moon?" TGO was so moved, he spent all Sunday night searching for the celestial orb of the night sky, laying on the grass at Albert Park, with only a bottle of JB, 25 Winnie Blues and a 3 day old Kebab...

    Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

    We have one MSD spot yes? Can anyone remember what the knock on Tom Highmore was? I recall he got a busted hand or something, and didn't play in his last year at St Kilda. Always struck me as a gritty tall defender, who put his head over the ball. Only 26 - worth a look? 193cm 94 kgs

    Preview Round 10, 2024 : Port v Hawthorn, 3:20pm Sun 19th May, AO

    I highly doubt Sam would be as silly to rush CJ back as some are suggesting. He hasn't played at AFL level since Round 9 last season. I think we follow the Chad route of returning and be very cautious with CJ as chronic soft tissue injuries are things not to be taken lightly. We aren't...

    I wonder just how much longer the AFL can keep kicking the can down the road that is North Melbourne? They are dying as a valid AFL club right before our eyes. Where to start? Memberships will plummet after this season you'd think. 0-23 is a genuine possibility with Richmond in Rd 23 as...

    Autopsy Round 9, 2024 : Hawks slap the Saints

    If anyone wonders where Dylan Moore got that mouse that was opened up in the 3rd quarter - Moore got it when Jimmy 'The Flog' Webster threw a cheap left hook into his right cheek at the 16.45 min of the 2nd quarter. Moore assumed it was from hitting himself - head to his own arm - in the tackle...

    Going back to the Premiership rings / Medals discussion.. I wouldn't be against players who played say 80% of the total games in a season getting awarded a Premiership medal. It still doesn't sit well that Derek Kickett lost out on one due to one mans spite. Brendon Whitecross would be...

    Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

    Amazing! I was just going to post exactly the same. GWS have committed to Cadman with a long term offer. The salary cap is tight and I reckon they may make a play for a top-liner (Bont?) whilst their window is still open. Watched Max in the VFL a few times. Got a lot of upside, and he knows...

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Ethan Phillips. 2024 SSP.

    If he's fit, then I have no idea why he isn't playing Sunday. We are missing Chol Serong and Ramsden for various reasons and the only tall added is Dear. If Weddle is 2nd ruck as suggested, then we are uber small down back against Darcy English Naughton and JUH. I have no idea why he isn't...

    Preview Round 8, 2024 : Bulldogs v Hawks, 4pm 5th May, Marvel Stadium

    No Phillips? Talls - Chol, Serong and Ramsden out, and only Dear in? Have to admit to being utterly confused by this. Another game that seems to put us behind the 8 ball for no reason. They have a very tall forward line, so we drop Serong, and use Weddle as ruck, but don't add support down...

    Yeah It's Collins Go screenshot the 20 min mark and tell me I'm wrong. Go look, come back and tell me what you see. You don't think there are problems at Hawthorn currently? Poor training, 1-6 record, and player playing badly? There have to be reasons. So I'm asking a few questions...

    I watched and enjoyed the video. I think there may be a clue to an issue or two at the club in it as well. Maybe, just maybe the younger guys are over 'when I played for Hawthorn' from Sam. When Sam addressed the group at the 20.00 mark - have a look at a couple of the blokes in the front...

    I don't think anyone can be unhappy with the progress of McKenzie, Meek and Weddle this season surely?

    If Sam can overlook the previous games where Reeves has shown: Very slow 'running' An inability to take a mark (ave 1 per game) An inability to kick goals (average 0.0) An inability to keep the ball locked in due to the fact he isn't an especially good runner, and isn't well known for his...
