It’s so very predictable…preseason finally starts & we’re all (mostly) excited to read about the players ..coaches …anything really as it is a time for optimism after a couple of dismal years. It’s fantastic that we have posters who can get to training and give us their insights and opinions. But once again ..anyone who is different or purports to have some relationship with staff or players …out come the knives. I miss WCW & I enjoy Saty ..in fact I read every poster who has been to training & takes the time to post. I have never read a post where two people who have actually attended training criticise each other ?

Can’t believe we are into the first week of preseason and you’re already in with the negativity. Let’s just enjoy the fresh start ..new coaches ..admin ..players etc before the nit picking starts. That’s why it’s important to have posters like WCW post about preseason training. That’s where we will see changes to the game plan etc. Pointless procrastinating about it now .

I guess we have no idea why they didn’t . A bit early to jump on the “blame” wagon. If they all manage a full preseason & look ready to go in March ..not too fussed if they don’t come in early. We can save the criticism if it’s necessary , when we see how they are come the start of the season.

Let’s hope they don’t read Demonland 🤨

I always find it amusing that when you’re called out for basically posting rubbish.,you resort to nasty “toxic” comments 😔

Port are the SA version of the Magpies so he’s just swapping States. They’re welcome to him …

I didn’t think I’d ever say this but well done Mark Robinson. Happy to give credit for a very well written article on Clarry …hard to disagree with any of it …

Toxic is the perfect word to describe Demonland at times. The fact you need such a long winded explanation to justify this behaviour..is kind of sad 😔

We have 2 tough games but if you look at who Richmond & Hawks have played it is mainly teams in the bottom 8. We have only played one team in bottom half so I give us a really good chance . It would be great to make finals if only to give our younger girls a taste and also reward the team for such a challenging season.

Maybe it says that it’s a long way down the highway for the “click bait “ media.. in fact any media to travel. 🤨 A lot of stuff disappears pretty quickly ..Stengle..Bruhn ..to name a couple of more recent situations

Don’t agree with you at all …on any points …

No don’t have to do that …let’s just wait till he gets here..although if that’s what you thought of ANB then 🤷

Thank goodness..some negativity… always need to highlight his perceived faults as a 21yr old before he actually gets to the club 🤨

So we have 122 pages on Clarry leaving based mainly on info by media people at 3AW ..even Tom Morris had dropped off. I’m tipping next Thursday the posting on this will drop significantly..

I was on the edge of my seat the whole game. We are undermanned so basically played contested footy as no way could we compete with them otherwise. Grit & determination and it got us 4 points ..sensational

Eloquently put & also accurate

Spot on …he is not the best public speaker …it’s a lot easier sitting behind a keyboard and typing away. He’s genuine ..he loves the club & the players & that was certainly reciprocated. So for at least for tonight put away your cynicism and vitriol and take on board the positivity and hope from every person who spoke.

Maybe read Roos’s article on what he thought of the Swans game plan & what type of game plan is needed to win finals ..

In an expanded competition it’s so obvious the depth is not there. It will eventually get there but with the calibre of the players we have lost preseason and in season …these results are going to happen. As a positive lots of young players will get games …possibly before their time but it will show them what is needed to get to the level required. A bit like the men’s team ..play the kids ..get our injured players fit ..grab a high draft pick and maybe a softer draw and hit the next season running.

It’s interesting listening to Max on the podcast (the one mentioned on Demonland) re the rucks. He said that Oscar was one of the hardest ruckman to play against and that Bris had the best 2nd & 3rd back up rucks in the comp. He didn’t think the loss of Oscar would be a huge difference..

He didn’t choose us because ..firstly he wanted to play midfield and not the wing & secondly because he got ridiculous money which we didn’t offer. Ironically he had ended up playing half back for the Hawks & still getting massive &’s

Maybe you need some “humble pie” to go with that sauce

Maybe that article should also include how amazingly tech savvy boys & girls are at a very young age. Ginni should have posted his comments to Grundy privately but he chose (again) to make it all about him. You have Hinkley pulling Hore Francis off in a game when he was carrying on ..Adelaide dumping a player for being disrespectful but we’re all supposed to laud this Gen Z team of young Hawks and their disrespect. Tell me when Watson (refuse to call him the Wizard) or Ginini acknowledge their own players before they go to the crowd. Hinkley has been around footy a long time ..I believe his remark was probably quite calculated…he got on the front foot straight away at his Press Conference & whether you agree or not …90% of non Hawks supporters would have loved it. Was it right ..no …but I still loved it.

So what …good on him for standing up for Ginnivan? ..is it ok for a Ginnivan to be a “me me” player and dish it out but he certainly doesn’t take it. Probably shouldn’t have been the oppo coach but so glad someone gave it back to him !

I think telling Ginnivan “he won’t be flying “ …
