Hawkers should’ve traded him...

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,670]

Ridiculously early, but Hawks to miss the 8

She's like many Hawthorn people I know. Doesn't really care what happens, but if they win is happy to say "Go Hawkers".

90% of their membership. You watch them disappear if Whorethorn lose games regularly this year

How's the Suns jumper? Copy of the MFC jumper per chance? They also lack a front of jumper sponsor.

I may be the only few that don't really have an issue with hawthorn and there success. Maybe because I admire Clarko and how he managed to knock the cats off in 2008 when no one game them a chance or maybe because he actually had the guts to come out and say what he thought of Hird and the essendon saga. 

Also he wasn't a superstar player like hird, buckley, voss or even tim watson. So he has proved you don't need to be a superstar to be a successful coach. 

Plus my friends who are hawks fans wernt arrogant when they wee successful unlike my bomber ones who after 2000 already said they would win the next 3. 

And I wish they knocked off the bummer last week. 

So now it's a different side and they have to get used to there team losing games. But I think 37,420 is a low crowd. 

Also it seems putting a different jumper on Vickory hasnt changed or helped him much.

I'm still baffled as to how an AFL standard umpire could make a decision like that.  I know we all make mistakes, but that's something I'd expect to see at Under 18 level in the local leagues.  Just a mindbogglingly bad decision.

Don't exaggerate. You wouldn't see it in any league!

37,420 (if that was the crowd) is a terrific crowd for a game against Adelaide at the G. We'd be delighted by that.

Hawthorn have never had particularly massive attendances for H&A games. Their actual membership numbers are high, but not many attend.

Just watched the free kick to poppy again it's on the afl website, I just don't understand how the umpire made that call it's absolutely mind boggling

You actually know Whorethorn supporters who are not arrogant, Christ i used to work with 3 of them who would organize Grand Final holidays 2-3 years in advance!

I am not joking either. Whorethorn in the '80's...Wow.

Then they beat us in that bloody merger game in '96

No problem with Clarko at all

They did make a wrong call this year though and it is beautiful

Hodge is cooked. Finished.

Jordan Lewis hopefully has 2-3 years left at least, maybe more if managed.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

The footy was so good last week the umpires are just trying to remind us they're still here this week. 

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Looks like Gold Coast learnt from their start last week...

This is pathetic. 

[Chook 15,023]

I wonder if the Suns are even a little embarrassed that they’ve been completely overtaken by their younger brother the Giants.

[Adam The God 30,644]

Wow. Just wow. Anyone see Ablett's jog then?

I think it's team rules, they all are. Something not right with this mob.

Didn’t see it but I wouldn’t be surprised if Gaz is just completely mentally checked out of that club right now.

It has a bit of the Neeld days about it for me. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a bit of a revolt there. I'd target Saad and Kolodjashnij and see if we can woo them. I would imagine it wouldn't take much to want to get out of there.

Hawks finally making Chip feel right at home!

Jono brown called it last week, said suns are missing something bit of grunt and heart, eade is passed it won't last the year

Who goes first? Buckley or Eade? Potentially Eade the way it's going today.

[monoccular 17,700]

For premiership favourite the AFL should be ashamed at the crowd! 

Will no doubt inflate the few thousand.

Remind me - has Eade been sacked once already?

GCS expectations far lower, at least in their fans' eyes, than Collingwood so Bucks may be under greater pressure. If his godfather wasn't the President he would be gone already (or maybe never got the gig). 

[brendan 3,452]

We play suns in round 10 and pies round 12 we could end them both
