The most inane thing we’ve done Waste of time, money and resources Wasn't a club initiative, these types of decisions are made and funded by head office.

That crest has been worn on the guernseys for the last 91 years and is sacred to most of us lifelong supporters. What gets my goat is that the club didn’t even consult us about it.
The club is claiming they consulted with members, can anyone confirm if they were consulted?

Re: Could we grab McQualter?

The rumour is Ross is keen to use Mini as a role coach working closely with Sandy to develop role skills of fringe players. Well that’s the best practice approach used at Norwood. So, we go to the draft and use our first two rounders to swap for 20 picks in the 70-90 range of picks. A kind of role ...

Did We Miss Crouch that Much In The Back Half?

The Jack McCrae conversation got me thinking. We certainly did in the first half of the season when the whips were cracking and teams were still fit and energetic. But our game style seemed a zippier in the last 6 to 8 weeks and clearly we were winning without Crouchy. Do midfields only need one bat...

Re: Jack McCrae

It's a pass from me. We should focus on building our midfield through the various drafts and not clog the list with midfields on the wrong side of 30. I do agree we need youth in the draft 100%, but also very weary of losing too many old heads, we dont want to suffer the fate of the Roos. If Crouch...

We will soon enough if the Hawks build is an emerging trend or not built for finals.
