  1. we need to start winning or we will be 14th very soon. pies will have a few back and will be fired up after last weekend. Dees by 2 points.
  2. is it correct that our ave games round 10 was 30 and last week it was 64. big jump? or maybe im wrong
  3. Interesting but hard to believe anyone would turn down the chance to make their debut if the coach thinks he is ready. Go for it Weeds!
  4. Well that's it, he is definitely signing with the Hawks
  5. I love getting on here to read people nitpicking about nothing. quality stuff
  6. Kennedy in for harmes garlett gets a week to make up for dodging the contest. He is a big game player. I expect 4 goals and plenty of tackles for Garlett
  7. i never said he would get lots of shots on goal. Just stating his strengths. He is not good in the ruck - that is why he can't ruck. Watts can jump, has good touch. So he was decent
  8. Why can't Dawes ruck? Why can't T Mac kick? Why can't Watts hip n shoulder? whats the point of this thread? different players have different skills. Dawes' strengths when fit are leading, kicking for goal, tackling, leadership. Not marking or ruck work. he just rucks when there is noone better to do so
  9. Stef has proven over the past 5 years he cannot play forward more than 20%. i honestly dont know if he would get a game at the moment if we had him. he is average aside from 1st Ruck
  10. you could play Ronald McDonald on Cloke and you'd be OK the way he is playing
  11. Oscar played pretty well on saturday in a poor defence. his best game I though. Certainly won't be dropped.
  12. and some people were calling for a red card system? these fools could have sent off our best player for no reason leave the MR to the MRP and just try to get your free kicks right
  13. interesting stat. But I think the Hawks defence won the game for them. They are calm and hit targets and their mids provide options. if you do this, it is hard for fwds to lay tackles. on the other hand if your defender plays a bad handball that puts a defender under pressure that will lead to 3-4 tackles in a row. still think our fwds could do better with pressure but the main issue is ball use at the back and mid spreading
  14. If rather support the losing team than support a bunch of duckers, droppers and divers.
  15. They could be 8-1 and the game would be all over. Missed sitters how can we allow so many marks in 50 on a wet day?
  16. What has happened to T Mac? Can't spoil against obrein? fark me.
  17. out of the 22 each week, maybe 5 defenders and 3 actual forwards? Hoges, Garlett, watts the rest are 'midfielders'. thats 14 for one game we ceratinly need more quality mids. more Isaac smith types
  18. I think Pedo was playing okay before he went out. 7 games, 5 goals, ave 14 touches, 2 tackles. not great stats. but he did provide a target, took some marks and put some physical pressure on. so he was playing well enough to keep his spot (just) but not well enough to be automatic in (in my opinion) im happy to see what Dawes can provide - assuming he has his body right! regardless of how dawes plays, I reckon he will be in for a few weeks regardless a quality KPF/2nd ruck should be on the list for a trade target. Hoges is doing it on his own with help from Watts
  19. Hawks team is an interesting mix of premiership stars and very young lads not impossible
  20. Risk playing AVB. I think he hasn't played a full vfl game yet so is give him an extra week great to see a tall in frost added down back and in Dawes up front ben ken is a bit stiff grimes must be starting to lose motivation. With 4 mids/half fwds coming out, he looked a likely in
  21. JT will be playing with around half the 22 for the first time at AFL level
  22. so just a standard saturday for you then mate?
  23. GO JT, ill be whipping out the old woolen #9 jumper for saturday! his last game was against WC 30 Mar 2014 where we scored 30 points and WC scored a lazy 123. hopefully a better result coming up! He has only played 2 AFL games in almost 3 years! ill back the team to play for him. this team Roosey has put together is no longer soft, it will put up a fight out of respect for JT
  24. [censored] I love trenners. If anyone deserves a good run.
  25. The thing is.... there is always a chance. At least this year there is. given how the season has gone, almost beating north, beating GWS and losing to Essendon - anything is possible. For the first time since 2008, the hawks are showing some cracks. only beat the saints by 3 points and have not put 4 quarter dominant performances in even against freo and brisbane we will have 2-3 surprising wins yet this year and im tipping this to be one.
