Demon trucker

There is soft and there is stupid, they still will be training indoors.

When truck reaches his peek he will leave Jordon in his dust.

Both missed most of 2019 with a injury

Big year for Gus he could not do 100 100 last pre season now he has done 2

Goods new Gus is fit to run time trial

I think he will have a huge year, he will be the fittest his been in 3 years, he will have more fitness to lay 10 tackles and also get 25 + a game.

How about this for a sliding doors moment Scott Pendlebury was about to go to the Australian institute of sports for basketball, and Patty Mills was preparing to try out for the AFL, Scott Pendlebury knocked back the scholarship, and decided on an AFL career, then it was offered to Patty Mills who took up the scholarship and the rest is history. who's better off?

People have short memories between 1996 and 2004 their years where spent mostly in the bottom 4. They where a success in the 70 ,80 and 1991, and where broke by 1996, they could have gone the way of Fitzroy, they only started making profits when they opened pokies in Waverly and sold games to Tasmania and that's a fact, success did not make them any profits, by the merger in 1996 Hawthorne had huge debt and could not pay their players, that's fact, take away pokies and their Tasmanian games and their profits disappear.

That's so simplistic and only half the answer, that is not sustainable, the reality is there are 18 teams and only 8 teams every year make finals, if winning is the only answer then the club is doomed in the long run. The club has to get a business model that sees the the club break even in bad years not make huge losses. Winning is a byproduct of making profits, not profits are a byproduct of winning. Hawthorns profit is built on two major factors, one being selling more home games then any other team in history, and having more pokies then other team in history, they built that business model before they became successful in the modern era.

morally getting rid of the pokies was the best thing, financially it was the worst thing, i said it at the beginning it would be the downfall of the club, and no the AFL will not give us more money just because you got rid of the pokies that's a pipe dream, and no getting rid of pokies won't get as more sponsors. The Hawks will never get backlash from having more pokies, winning premierships and being successful forgives clubs for all their sins.

Am 87 to 91 was all top 4, 2000 are not all bad a grand final, finals in 2000 2002 2004 2005 2006, so, the only decade we need not play finals was 70' s

How many games did the team lead in the last quarter of games and lose? They where just not able to run out games, a bad preseason is not an excuse it's a reason, 16 post season surgeries to your best 22. Even so our losing margin was only 23 points.

That's not fact all 3 where best 22 in 2018, playing all the finals, so fact does not back up your statement.

Monday experts

No 4 I bet

You didn't seriously think parish was going to be a better player a skinny inside mid player never works

I like him am I normal?

Where is finey now broke and homeless?

Yeah baby bring it on every thing is tops man, be positive even if the trucks are 30000 over service and all the tradies are owned over $100000 in work done to keep place going, and the maintenance guy hasn't been paid for a month. Where work is promised but not delivered, and the boss begs the workers to stay because good times are around the corner, but everyone is slowly leaving one by one.

I totally disagree 100%. The positive out of 2019 was that it was so bad, the best teams come out of a really bad year and dominate the competition for years, example cats after 2006, Richmond after 2016. Bring on 2020 big year coming up.

Bring back finey and the lawyer

Yeah your right, but too many think your a fanboy and give the players too many warps, I am not one of them, but I think as long as he does his 100 100 with his brother at Christmas time then he will have a good year.

Yes president of the MFCSS, he actually ripped his calf off the bone, will be out for 12 months LOL, where is the excuse or the lie or even where is the meat in this story.

Come on MFCSS member, it only a calf strain and he still has 2 weeks before he is required to start training.

TMac was not running enough in games early in the year, until the freemantle game where he kicked 3 goals and had over 20 touch's, then the next week he had 1 goal but over 20 touch's, then the Carlton game he ripped them apart, then of course his knee blow in the third quarter. So hopefully he remembers how he returned to form by running.
