News Hawthorn in the media 2025

[DogDaySonny]

Thanks, good article.

But I thought Jon Ralph hated Hawthorn?

A lot of people hate the French but that doesn’t stop one from recognising that pastries are super tasty.

Thanks, good article.

But I thought Jon Ralph hated Hawthorn?

He was one of the cheerleaders screaming for us to be stripped of draft picks and sanctions.

Just have a listen to him whenever a Hawthorn player gets sighted by the MRO.

Thanks for posting that - the analysis of Hawthorn is pretty good.

Kudos too to Ralph for being one of the few to openly ask the AFL to scrutinise the Cats in the last section of the article. Compare and contrast that with 360, on which the Geelong-supporting Whateley has made absolutely no mention whatsoever of the much-publicised AFL audit into 'his' club; not even in the 'Furnace' or 'Real or Overreaction' sections, which usually contain issues raised on other footy shows and other sections of the media, like the Geelong audit issue was.

It's a reverse psych. Trying to pump our tyres up so we fall

To be honest, I still find it a bit unbelievable how quickly things have turned and we are talked about as the premiership favourites.

I love Hawthorn.

Love buddy and he still loves the brown & gold

Haha thts a new one.

He's a muclraker but he's not got it in for Hawthorn.

I swear some Hawks fans just yearn to be hated and play the victim.

No need for it when the footy is this good

Let’s try to convince him to enter the mid season draft

That brought a tear to my glass eye.
Bud still loves us.

A great day for AFL Society as Damien Barrett’s head explodes

Go Hawkerrrrzzz

Go Hawkerrrrzzz

This is awesome.
In my experience, at least as a supporter group, we can have a laugh at ourselves. No like some other supporter groups who would be pissed at this.

Good try but one of the most unfunny guys putting himself out there

It would be a form of tanking.

On another note, we've come so far:

Simpson's analysis on 360 of our backline work was a good watch

The difference is Cornes puts his hand up & says he got that wrong.

Not many others do that.

He’s our biggest fan in the media and although was wrong, admitted it and jumped on earlier than anyone else.

Agreed. Was a massive turnaround, which is why I said "we've come so far."

 

[matey]

Man I love the character of our boys and the way they represent the club. And hats off to Buddy a Hawks legend

That article is so 2022…

This is a really good read, Sam and Lyndal are all over it. I find it interesting that saints revised offer of 900k apparently ‘blew ours’ out the water. Is battle really on only maybe 800k? Thought that wouldn’t be enough for a band 1. If so that is a huge steal for a ready made key who costed no draft capital.
