    Believe it or not they did start a coach thread in 2018 that is still going.

    It had a slightly different title than ours....

    This was a post today...

    There's a higher chance of the AFL shrinking back to a Victoria only comp than Hawthorn winning another premiership ever.
     
    Almost MFCSS !
     

    "Ever"! Turn it up!  Hawks have averaged a flag every 4 years I've been alive.

    Completely agree.

    If given the choice to delist, there are 6-7 players who I would delist ahead of Jones at season's end. Jones can cover multiple roles, and he still brings experience and leadership. I rather him play HB in a final than say Lockhart. 

    We are so quick to forget the sacrifices this guy made in his career for this club. He deserves to get to 300 games, and more than that, I think our club would benefit from us making it happen for him. It shows loyalty and appreciation for those who gave so much to the club for such a long period of time.

    Sometimes having a winning culture isn't just about winning games. 

    Being retained on the list is one thing - being best 22 is another; debates about the former sadly don't augur well for the latter. I'm finding it increasingly hard to see him getting those remaining games with the Rivers's, Jordons, ANBs, Sparrows, Bedford's, etc. also in the mix.

    If on-field recognition of his titanic service via selection/farewell game to our club over his career isn't viable I'd certainly hope that some other befitting acknowledgement and a graceful ending can be mustered. We have plenty of "what-not-to-do"s in that regard in our recent history.

  3. Medical due diligence will magically show that all his groin issues are behind him just prior to trade period, we will sell the farm to secure him on a lengthy contract, only to have the injury reappear and he never pulls on the guernsey.

  4. Just watched the presser. Interesting to hear Goodwin sound more open to the possibility of bringing in another fwd (noted change in stance from a week ago when he seemed adamant current setup would be persisted with.  He identified Brown in particular, then mentioned Wied form "improving". 

    Also Harley Bennell confirmed as part of the hubbing squad.
