Like most of you, I'm not a big fan of the bloke (Hi @Jaded No More, hi!!) but credit where it's due for Tom Hawkins who plays his 350th game today.  

It's a remarkable feat, particularly for a big bloke like him.

Fun fact:  according to a write up in today's 'Age', Hawkins eats a whole packet of double-chocolate Tim Tams before each game, which is not a dietary regimen we normally associate with top level sportspeople.

Congratulations Tom.

Pick of the Century

Great player Hawkins. He’s one of the main reasons the cats have defied gravity for so long. He’ll be very hard to replace. I have to say though I won’t be sorry to see the back of him when he does hangs up his spurs. 

No Danger, Guthrie, Rohan, Tuohy, Stanley

Carn the Hawks

 

Hawks can do the whole AFL and society in general a HUGE favour by winning the next two. Particularly next week…

Any substance to the reasons they are all out?

frost's ability to run himself out of position is quite something

he's a very good reader of the play but once he gets the ball in hand he's so unpredictable

Hawks looking very ordinary so far. 

Ginnivan is a very average player. Tries the hard stuff too often, never does the simple stuff. Soft. Tragedy he got a medal last year. May was right.

tigs dropping lilke flies - balta out for 4-6 with an mcl and lynch needs surgery on a hamstring tendon injury

No idea at the moment Hawthorn 

Lynch and Balta likely to miss ANZAC Eve.

 

Looking like Hawks Eagles and North making up 3 of the bottom 4.

Wonder who will be the fourth

Rotten luck 

Some of the hawks play has been comically bad 

if our players didn't get free kicks when they're clearly clobbered high like ginnivan is i would be ropeable

i know there's this perception that he 'ducks' into the tackle...but he's knee high to a grasshopper and constantly gets taken high through no real fault of his own

Cats have had a very soft draw to start the season.

Saints at Government Funded Park, an out of form Crows and the Hapless Hawks.

Next few games Bulldogs at neutral venue in Adelaide after having played their 2 weeks ago, North and possibly out of form Brisbane at the Gabba.

They then have some tests with Blues, Dees and Port (at Government Funded Park).

Breust x 2 ... oh dear.

Am I the only one on here, that is quite enjoying Hawthorn's fall from grace

Just checked the fixture and disappointed to see we don't play Hawthorn twice this year. 

Personal opinion: I think the hawks should start marking the ball.

They used them all up in the first quarter last week.

Mitchell needs to be careful. 2 seasons in and serving up this dross won’t go down well with the faithful, rebuild or not.
