So with the Hawks handing out the first legitimate thrashing of the year to Richmond last night I have to ask the big questions.

Are the Hawks really that good?

Are Richmond really that bad?

Is it a little of both?

I thought the Hawks were OK and Richmond was woeful. Hawthorn made a lot of turnover errors but Richmond would just give it straight back to them. Granted it is only Feb but I can't see (say) Geelong or StKilda giving them second chances if they do that in the home and away.

On the bright side my $100 bet on us finishing higher than Richmond is looking better and better.

Anyone know of a live stream address for this arvo's game by the way (mac based)

Richmond...same same. Hawthorn will be up there, but we will give them hell in Round 1

Hawthorn will be up there after we give them an early wake up call in Round 1, as they experience a 9 point loss

As expected, the Tiges are poor, BUT, have more young talent than I realised. Obviously Cotchin & Vickery are there with Martin showing something, but I also like Collins & add some other regulars& they have the frame work to build on.

Let me take you back to the end of the season last year, when i made a bet with a mate of mine, that i would run 1km, in the buff, on nepean hwy that we would finish higher than Richmond. Looking good

i live near nepean Hwy so i look forward to that piece of lunacy-but i think you are safe, Richmond have been rebuilding since 1983.

The foundations keep falling over!!

I think they'll fall over at either end of the ground for a while yet. They have a raft of smallish zippy midfielders, but few real quality talls to prop them up.

Hawthorn was quite poor in some of their skills. Against a better side, they wouldn't have looked so flash.

Richmond were just shocking.
