Some of the more delusional ones actually think 2023 will be a failure if their team misses the finals, if you listen to talkback.

 

Not sure about that. The ones I know think that the club is on a full on tank to get Harley Reid at year end.

If we miss the eight  with our list thats worse than getting the spoon.

Realistically the Prelim is a must preferably another flag.

Geelong wont have another dream run,  Swans have shown theyre mentally not up to it, Lions are iffy although dumping Zorko as cpt was a smart move. Collingwood is Collingwood and Carlton is hilarious.

Dismiss Carlton at your peril. Sure they have been a joke for nearly 3 decades but I think they're on the right track and will be pushing for top 4. That's my hot tip.

A very dislikeable fanbase.

And they have the worst colours of any sports team the world over. Pee and Poo colours. What kind of a demented mind thought that was a good idea. 

Cleveland Browns not much better. Neither as bad as green & white hoops though 🤮

Some of the more enlightened think they will have a down year and bounce back into contention in 2024...dreamers.

To me it looks like they are in for an extended period in the bottom part of the ladder.

Don't know what y'all talking about..

I love Hawthorn supporters. 

 

Benny can't help himself but that smirking host should be ashamed of himself for exploiting the poor bugger. Absolute creep.

Notice the frequent knowing glances off camera.

Carlton have a tougher draw in '23 and could be 1-4 before they know what hit them. They also have key injury issues.

I actually have Hawthorn supporters (one obnoxious pig in particular) to thank for discovering - then joining - the Demon Army. Round 7 last year I was up on level 4 at the ‘G surrounded by the most repugnant Hawks supporters. I’d endured opposition supporters many times, but these guys were next level. One extremely odious man in particular started to make his insults personal to the point that I got up and left to go home at halftime, in tears, to the sound of him bellowing, “if you can’t take it, princess, don’t [censored]ing come to the footy.” A security guy saw me outside and brought me back in and said I could sit in the area behind the goals, where I’d feel safe. Turns out I was smack bang in the middle of the cheer squad - where I really shouldn’t have been - and have remained there ever since. 😊

No team is more deserving of a long stint of mediocrity and missing finals than Hawthorn. Please God make it so.

I admire your sentiment but alas both the filth and Geelong are more deserving of long stints of mediocrity.

Glad your story had a happy end to it, @WalkingCivilWar!  How odious of the Hawthorn supporter though...

Moreover, he had his kids with him! The poor things were so ashamed of him. At one point I caught eyes with the little girl and she attempted to muster a feeble smile, surreptitiously of course because god only knows what he would’ve said had he seen her smiling at a “stuck-up, posh piece of sh!tt Melbourne supporter” his words, not mine. Thing is, of the insults that he threw my way, that one didn’t bother me since it couldn’t be further from the truth. 😁

Hashtag Bogan and proud of it. 🤗

Forgive me for venting but I strayed on to Big Footy this morning and found myself reading a thread on the Hawks forum with the headline ‘Why is Hawthorn so great’? As exercises in self delusion it can’t be beaten. I wanted to answer it, but turns out I don’t have reply rights on BF so I am letting rip here.

They make a few points but all annoying. Here goes: Anyone alive has seen more Hawthorn premierships than any other (13 - this much is true); the Coodabeens used to have a joke that the Grand Final was the final match of the year when someone played Hawthorn. Elsewhere they bang on about St Kilda having no right to try to establish a stronger presence in the south east because that is Hawthorn territory.

Anyone who has read Between The Flags would know how much of this is self-serving BS. Hawthorn’s presence in the south east, and eight of those 13 premierships are in large part due to the introduction of country zoning in 1967.

St Kilda was the sole inhabitant of the south east when country zones came in and was counting on being assigned the Mornington Peninsula but the Saints were premiers at the time and Hawthorn, well Hawthorn was rubbish and bumbling about in the bottom third of the ladder, so luckily, or suspiciously, Hawthorn was assigned the talent-rich MP- West Gippsland zone that the Saints had prepared for by moving to Moorabbin.

They also boast of having voted - “unlike that other mob” - to have opposed a merger, and again, any who has read Between The Flags knows that is a misreading of what happened.

The truth is, we were once like them. Melbourne originally had one great advantage in recruiting, which was the fact we played at the best ground in the state, probably the nation. For a quarter of a century we made the most of it, then times changed. Hawthorn likewise had one great advantage, their amazing country zone and good luck to them, they made the most of it.

But its’ infuriating that they think their success is down to their own virtue. I know I made that same mistake about us.

On another matter, they also sling off at St Kilda trying to increase its presence in the south east because that is “Hawthorn territory”. See paragraph four above to understand the falseness of that self-delusion.

So I’ll pose another question: Why are Hawthorn supporters so full of it? All contributions gratefully accepted.

 

 

They were giving it to me in that 2018 final and I actually thought some of their garbage was pukeworthy.

At the end of the game I just smiled at them as they skulked away.

All’s well that ends well.

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 The premiership defender had a below par season after looking the goods as a key forward before injury ended his 2023 season. It’s unclear as to where he will be playing in the coming season as some of the club’s established defensive talls near the end of their careers.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
