Let's spare a thought for Chip Frawley?

He has a GF medal to hange around his neck which is something his contempories at the MFC will never have.

Dont feel sorry for him

Too bad St Kilda own their pick, what a gift it will be for them.  Hopefully they pick another McCartin.

I would be very worried if they still haven't won a game when we play them in a few weeks.

They are cooked and dead, but i get what you mean

Cyril Riolo seems to be struggling this season. I wonder if he needs a fresh start elsewhere to re-ignite his passion.

Maybe Lewis could get in his ear and the Hawks would be keen to part ways to start their rebuild.

I feel really sorry for O'Meara and Mitchell, who would have already cleared a spot on the mantle piece to put their cheap premiership spoils.

 

 

 

Nah, not really.

I think they need a re build and will probably trade a couple of players at years end.

Poor Chip will have to live through another rebuild. Fortunately his staying power and leadership qualities will see the Hawks right.

 

Observation: Loved his little tanty as Hawkins marked just before he kicked his 3rd goal.

I don't like the Cats but seeing the Hawks get dismembered in that last quarter was pure fkn' art.

Not sure who they'll trade, but you would think at least two of Hodge, Burgoyne and Gibson will call it quits at the end of the year.  Their list as a whole is looking light on for talent, especially in the key position areas, and after this year they will see even more experience disappear from the list.

I don't feel sorry for them in the slightest, but it was inevitable that they would take a fall after 4 flags.

And get a bag of chips for them, surely?

They might get something for Poppy, Breust, Sicily, Rioli and Smith, but they can't expect too much. Rioli is almost 28 and Smith is almost 29. They might have to package them to get a first rounder this year, but they really have no room for error with their recruiting over the next few years.

It makes me very happy to say they're in for some pain. Desperately got to use this time to convert the missus.

The question should probably be did they overrate the guys they currently have on their list? Surely, O'Meara and Mitchell were never going to compensate for the loss in experience of Mitchell and Lewis.

You've gotta say Clarkson's either misread it massively or his arrogance got the better of him. Neither scenario looks upon him favourably, but I doubt he'll be at the Hawks much longer. I hope he doesn't make his way to Collingwood.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
