the solution is obvious get the best player ever he is clearly the best coach ever. because he could play. wow great logic. a coach has to be a teacher and communicator, as well as have a decent football knowledge, with the ability to motivate (long term) and get an entire club to work together. a player has to be able to run, kick chase etc. OF COURSE A GOOD PLAYER IS GOING TO BE A GOOD TEACHER, COMMUNICATOR, MOTIVATOR AND THEREFORE A GOOD COACH. wow what an obvious conclusion this is a fine appointment. bailey is making tough decisions to change the entire culture of the club. this is a good thing - but it also means that short term results will be sacrificed to ensure that the culture improves. in the long term the club will be A LOT better off. mark williams has an excellent coaching CV. does anyone here know if he even played afl or vfl? does anyone here remember david parkin or the guy who coached north to two flags in the 90s ( i cant even remember his name) playing football? did they win brownlows? no. does it matter how good you were/are as a player when youre sitting in the coaches box? no [censored] way.

missing in action - benno and no thats not cos im going to play badly, i just wont be there. good luck guys!

Brad Green. end of

im really really really ridiculously good looking

i would prefer the last weekend in november - i cant do any weekends in december unfortunately

keen. late november is best for me

haha when i kicked that goal i had no idea that rivvo had gone down!

far better than ross ruffians

CJ is no big loss at all. if he doesnt want to play for us, then get rid of him. whatever. put valenti on the list instead. at least he will add to the culture of the place by working his arse off

i cruised three and a half k in about 19 mins today before pumping out some weights. haha did about 8 k yesterday. both times spent about 10 mins afterwards blowing snot everywhere. damn flu. getting over it slowly though. i wont be chasing the pill around all day though! ha! maybe the sudafed

ah ok. haha im not complaining, esp given there will inevitebly be no shows, and probably hot, and my fitness is suspect. haha

32 players if everyone shows! haha everyone will be playing in 10 min bursts! we should out run them anyway. question. for those who dont play regularly - what are you doing for mouthguards?

oh my god!!

I AM [censored] OFF. however, the only way to respond to c%$#s like vlad is to [censored] stick it right up them. backs to the wall boys. i love it. nows the time to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

i prefer the sandbox. or sand pit. cos their country is mostly sand and so is the stadium

i am really looking forward to this

i think this was the true highlight of those two games - because the crowd was jsut the hardcore of the hardcore. and didnt we celebrate. amazing

yes we would have been out - under the old system the bottom two losers were out. so i think 8 and 6 were out that year because we won.

bring back the biff

hes right, its on youtube. 2000 v blues loved beating freo - for excitement and the feeling when aussie took off with 8 seconds left at the 36 min mark v brisbane this year.....wowow.

the thing is, the only thing that will reduce our "mediocrity" as you put it, is winning a flag. well we are so far off that its not funny. next year i want 100% effort 100% of the time. if that means we come 16th with 1 win, well, thats fine with me. our list is what it is. we all know we arent going to win flags with that list. so we dont have a choice, do we. remember, the hawks finished 15th or 16th, then finished 13th. thats an improvement right there. it takes time. bailey is weeding out the crap and changing the culture of the club, slowly but surely.

hes not stretching properly! do it properly colin!!!!! gotta get that hip straight sonny boy.

it is an excellent book. follows in detail hawthorns recruiting strategies. for example. they decided that they needed key position forwards. so they went and got roughead and franklin - even though they rated some midfielders in that draft higher. and last year they got rioli because they needed a small forward, so they picked the best small forward availiable - not the best player availiable. they picked for their needs. we have needed a CHF since the ox.................................. they also had very good things to say about maric - best kick in the draft they think. wooooo

im def in. [censored] bring it.

speaking of ammo............. anyway im a maybe. i havent played footy at school but ive been playing soccer. but i was a forward at school. use me in the norm smith CHF "decoy" role if you want. haha
