Or this current decade. 21 Dees and 2 Hawks, same as 2007- 15 but inn reverse

Sorry but it is not 2015 to 2021 Demons 31 to Hawks 2.

The following Hawks are certainties 

Sam Mitchell , Jaeger Omeara Sicily Silk and Like Bruest and possibly Jack Gunston.

That's  6   Those from our GF side who would not beat these 6 for experience consistency ability and team discipline over a decade or a 5 year  period are:

Petty Spargo Jordon Sparrow ANB and Harmesy.

Thsts not too denigrate any of our players but the above group have only played ONE season of note and not even established a regulation spot yet in our best 23. ( They all deserve to be selected in Round1 however as premiership players)

But if you had to select players over the 5 years those 6 Hawks are ahead as of end of 2021.

End  of 2023/4/5 very different story probably.

I was also a huge B.Lovett (and G.Lovett) fan back in the day.  My sister actually went to girl guides with one of Brett's nieces who's parents ran the family plant nursery (where I believe Brett also worked sometimes?) in Box Hill.

Yep, he referred to himself as a ‘landscaper’ when asked his occupation. I was such a Brett Lovett tragic as a kid that I told my mum and dad if I wasn’t going to be a footballer I wanted to be a landscaper.

Today I live in an apartment and own exactly one plastic plant.

And yes he was a footballer's footballer but he was also suuupppeeer sloooooww,

He didn't need to be quick. His ball use and decision making was exquisite.

O'Meara is not a certainty I think his career has been very disappointing for the Hawks. Give me Petty over Sicily any day. It's Tom Mitchell Sam is the coach.

 

B: Sicily, May, Lever

HB: Salem, Petty, Rivers

C: Langdon, Petracca, Brayshaw

HF: Gunston, McDonald, Neal-Bullen

F: Breust, B.Brown, Fritsch

FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Mitchell

IC: Jackson, Pickett, Bowey, Harmes

That is true and I don't diagree, but Salem has both.

While Salem hasn't had quite the same longevity as a footballer yet, he does have the claim of being a premership player and brilliant performance over that season overall and the GF when it really counts.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
