Essendon are in a real slump right now, and have proven they cannot keep up the form they showed during the preseason and in the early rounds. There is no doubt in my mind they are a team on the rise, and have alot of talented youngsters. We come into the game as favourites but I am seriously...
Brent Renouf lines up this week as our only genuine ruck option, with a small pinch hit options. The question is, after an interrupted preseason in his young career does Renouf have the tank to ruck 90% of the game?
I know personally I cringe seeing talent like Roughead in the ruck, or even...
After the trade week, we come out winners and loosers in some aspects. We gained the services of a great midfielder. Yet we lost some depth by loosing Benny Mack and Mr.Kennedy. We also gained some picks in the process while loosing our first round pick.
Now dont get it wrong, but Hawthorn...
Roughies Future In Limbo
By Sum.Spud
The up and coming star, and runners up to the Demons most prestigious award is yet to confirm his re-signing with the club as the free agency period is swinging in to full force. “With my club the Demons failing to make the finals, I’ve had the time to...
Every week after a loss I have come on this forum to read threads attacking the same players. Murphy is a hack, Taylor is useless, Why is Stokes playing? Its obvious we arent playing at times up to half as good as we did last season, but to pin the blame on our last selected players is rubbish...
This season I have held back on being critical of the team, and individuals. But after the effort against Brisbane, it makes me wonder if we have given up. Bar Hodge, I cant think of a player who showed any desire, hunger, or heart, in the 2nd half.
We have Guys like Campbell Brown or a...
I do not know if any members have participated in simulated fantasy football but its a bit of fun. For those that dont know what fantasy football is, you pretty much sign up, join a team, choose a position and your team along with other members face off against other teams. The 22 players get...
So I was just thinking about some reoccuring incidents that happen in our games that are worthy drinking too. Feel free to add.
You drink every time these incidents happen
-Every time Mcglynn ducks his head and nearly gets it ripped off in the process
-Every time Buddy gives a free kick...
Hawks have had one clean passage of footy all day. The skills have been poor, were definatly looking rusty. Thorps looked good in defence. Gilly looks like his gained a yard of pace. Tuck will be in our regular 22. Shiels also impressive. Roughead is a star. Rioli has had 8 disposals all...
Over recent times we have seen players like Grant Birchall, Cyril Rioli and Jordan Lewis play some great football in their first years. Birch and Rioli especially just looked so composed in their first year, and just looked like they should be out there in the big time.
I know I will always...
For those who watched the draft through the AFL's coverage and live stream would have seen a list of players on the right in alphabetical order. I decided to look through at the names and saw the one and only Ben Kennedy.
Kennedy has been a mystery to the people on BF with rumours of him...
This Lisle "steal" seems to have a lot of Austin Lucy written all over it. Teams dont really let talented players slip this far in recent times. Especially players who have had the acheivements that Lisle has. I hope his pace queries arent as serious as clubs think they are, or we could have the...
With Hawthorn having such a young list where the most arent even reaching their peak yet, I thought I would throw up some names and we could discuss where these players will be at next season. Are the players On the decline, at their peak, or peaking in their footy careers. Obvisouly some...
Great teams stay succesful for long periods of time for multiple reasons, bar the obvious coaching staff and their playing list. But players get old, injured and retired, but the good teams still manage to play in september. I think Essendon made a ridiculous ammount of finals consistantly under...
It seems the big footy rookie hopeful has been invited to draft screenings. Unlike the draft between 1 and 4 clubs have to nominate you to get invited to the screenings. You would think Hawthorn wouldnt invite the youngster after having him on the list already and also having a close look at him...
This thread is for the players that arent the obvious important cogs to our finals campaign but they play a big part to our success.
Chance Bateman
This one is obvious to hawk fans. He is probably the hardest running midfielder in the game right now, but more importantly his disposal has...
(H2F arrousal level growing)
Renouf was impressive today I thought. I think the kid has a real future as a ruckman. Of course playing against Cox, you are going to look a bit 2nd rate in the hit out department but is an area he needs to improve. But the positive to come out of this is it is...
Great player, Sh*t House commentator. This is what happeneds when television channels hire inexperienced, stuttering, pea brained ex players as commentators. I am all for getting players a job in the media, if they can infact perform their job properly and Jackovich fails.
He commentates for...
So after a few bourbons I have got to thinking about how being in premiership contention may hurt us in the future. Look, there is nothing wrong with being a top team, but now would be the toughest time to be one coming into the future. As the dawn rises on the AFL's expansion it has become...
For all the Darwin Hawk Fans, Gary Buckenara will be holding a hawk night on Friday. Get down to the Nightcliff Sports Club, to watch the game, get quarterly reviews by Gary, and have your chance to put a bid on numerous signed gurnseys by our very own Hawk players inc. Stokes, Buddy, Chance and...
The two youngsters really couldnt cope today. That game was played in finals like atmosphere, and the two boys looked bad in it. Rushed kicks, no looking for targets, they were content with just bombing it anywhere. Now I am not knocking these kids as they are just kids, and I am glad they got a...
Well I wouldnt call it an actual Music clip, but there are a couple nice shots of Mojo and His Missus in the video it self. Check out my new video clip to my new song Deep-"There Will Never Be"
Feedback is appreciated! Thanks for anyone who takes the time to listen, it is really appreciated...
Well as we all may know I am Jarryd Rougheads biggest fan, and I try to keep from pumping this young superstars tires up too much but right now I cant help my self. How good is Roughie's marking? This kid is on the way to have the strongest set of hands in the league. The ammount of times he has...
I know there is alot of Young bashing going on this forum, and its mostly for the way he handles him self in contested situations. I think its safe to say, with his frame and size he tends to either go in half arsed at the contest, or he is completely outbodied. Alot of peoples defence to this...
Jordan Lewis is the Umpires Most Wanted! The bloke couldnt catch a break today! Surprised he didnt get rubbed out today he would have been very frustrated!
