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.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
