    A supercoach  is a Hardwick who built his team through  the draft without any advantage  that other teams building don't have, if he is a super coach then he will drive the Hawks to be a  superpower again, i bet he won't

    No I don't think he will be there that long.  Hardwick, till they sacked all his assistants and started again he had an average record, rest is history. Fingers crossed that's the epoch change just happened at the Dee's.

    So, Wizard of Koz and phuket demon are one and the same poster.  How many other aliases do you have?  You should probably check which name you are logged in under before you respond to posts.

    As an aside, @Demonlandis there a way we can transfer the posts from this discussion re: Eddie, Collingwood and the board that exist in this thread to a new thread?

    It’s a genuinely fascinating discussion and no one means any ill will starting it here, but it could derail the thread. It kind of started organically.

    Jeepers ease up, that sounds ace to me. Bit of Tahbilk or Gapsted. Bit of massage at the Dinner Plain Onsen.

    We get boxes of Tahbilk. Awesome stuff.

    Me and me mates have nicknamed Horethorn 'Hypocrite Highway' for years. This sort of behaviour has been baked into their DNA for years.

    Leaving political allegiances completely out of it, it's instructive that a male former Premier is attacked for his actions but a female former Premier is attacked for her appearance.

    you see a lot of strange things in phuket, ds

    Hawthorn are the club i would most like to see languish for a decade or so. Entitled supporters and a president completely lacking in self awareness. Their list management over the past couple of seasons has been the epitome of hubris. They're miles off. I hope Tassy kick them out as well.

    Hawks have had enough success to last several lifetimes but the club's I want to see down the bottom for an extended period are the Blues and Bombers. Blues havent won a flag for 25 years, Bombers for 20 and if it extends for a few more decades it would be just fine by me.

    Talking about clubs walking in our shoes.  Suck it up Hawks supporters!


    For the third time in four seasons, the last remaining winless team records its first win of the year against Hawthorn.

    2021: Kangaroos def Hawks, Rd 9
    2020: Crows def Hawks, Rd 15
    2019: Blues def Bulldogs, Rd 5
    2018: Lions def Hawks, Rd 9

    I think Clarkson also became a victim of his and his clubs own arrogance by trying to Moneyball it with broken players such as Scully, O’Meara, and Patton. When the champions retired/moved on he didn’t want to cliff to come so he kept topping up and it’s ended up being a part of their own demise. 

    Keep giving them Sunday 1pm games, let’s see how many turn up. My guess is their crowd figures will be about on par to our Bailey/Neeld years. 

    To be fair, they have had a pretty good run with trading, Patton and Scully could have gone differently easily. As much as I loathe Jeff, they have had an awesome football department for a long time, personally I am not throwing rocks at them yet, they might be good enough to get going again in a few years, even with an anchor like Jeff at the club. Happy for them to be a basket case bit it is a bit like criticising the All Black's, just admit they are good and move on.

    No just remembered him saying something about the woman get to many injuries playing football, Jeff did want a AFLW team, now he sees the Hawks going down the toilet,they are  probably missing out and all the lot of female members.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
