[Hawk]

I'm having fun sitting at the top of that leaderboard!

I was on track for 8 tips this week, except for the fact that I had a brain meltdown and tipped Collingwood. Grrr.

[Dez]

lucky for collingwood, the bombers didnt kick to accurately....if they did, collingwood would've got smashed like rhys shaw ! :

please. that was soft...elbow was down till well after the knock....so if the collingwood boys cant handle a bit of a bump, oh well

and I loved how a reporter said "mark johnson knocked out collingwoods best player"

just because he had 21 touches....considering he got about 6 of them in 30 seconds with their little hand pass to hand pass on the spot ;)

its not how many times you've touched it...its what you do with it ;)

[AdzT3-146]

lol, yeh yeh rightio. for the record it was 32 touches.

Hahaha... thats the most **** weak bump i've seen in ages, no way known johhnson should be rubbed out for something like that.

[Dez]

oh well. it was 0 after he had to leave because he got bumped into.....

thats the way the AFL saw it too ;)

not johnson's fault he's too tough for shaw
:

[Hawk]

It is pretty sad when Rhyce Shaw is labelled the best player in your team!

Only joking, he is actually proving to be a little bit better than last year...although he still cannot hit a target.

[Dez]

how can i be beating anyone. lol

this is without a doubt, my worst tipping year ever ! im loving the 2 and 3's im constantly getting, but in my defense, I can't say that i'm really following the AFL this year, just keepin an eye on the bombers who are dissapointing so far

ha, we got robbed on the weekend... :

Well i guess Johnson should learn to keep his mouth shut in the future (even the afl admitted the ump got it wrong though... weak dog, lol). _

[Dez]

they will turn AFL into the softest sport in the world.

a 50m penalty for calling someone weak? you have got to be shitting me

[JTFG]

Any Collingwood supporters here? :

[Hawk]

According to the letter of the law, it was actually a correct decision.

However, the law was written quite a long time ago, and is hardly relevant in today's footy.

A lot of people I know are Collingwood supporters j0nni....so I take great pleasure in reminding them where they are on the ladder (even if we - Hawthorn - are only one spot above them)

[flavze]

Wasn't it that Johnson used the C@#T word and the ump didn't want to repeat it to him as he's wired up for sound so he said weak dog instead.
Dunno how ya come up with weak dog as a replacment for C@#T though!

[Hawk]

You are correct flavze.

The whole incident has sparked controversy amongst the umpires about being wired...seems they actually want to repeat the swear words back to the players (for a purpose though, and without being heard over the TV)

[JADED6]

If Hawthorn can keep their playing group together they will be a flag contender in around 2 years. Seem to be a very exciting team. Quite good to watch. Glad West Coast beat them last week. Williams is a damn fine kick at goal.

[Hawk]

I'm certainly not glad West Coast beat us last week!

We are an exciting team this year, which I am very pleased about. We still don't have the skill level to consistently knock off teams...but hopefully that will come.

Mark Williams actually had an off game yesterday....8 goals 5 behinds. Too many missed shots, 2 of them hit the post and another shot (left foot snap) was an absolute sitter. Should have had 11...but will definately take 8! Still leading the goal kicking, and would have increased his margin quite considerably.

[JADED6]

Being a WCE fan i had to be glad they came away from Tassie with a win.
I like how keen some fo the Hawks players are, i just dont like that skinny red head one, he seems way out of his league.

[Dez]

i gotta start goin to the bombers games more often. first game i go to this season and we beat freo by 6 goals after being DOWN at 3/4 time !

[JTFG]

I was also at the game, good work bombers.

Josh Thurgood. I am a big fan of his, simply because he has so much courage and intensity. At the moment because he is lightly built I do agree that he is a little out of his depth, but once he gets muscle onto his body he will be an extremely competent player. He went sensationally in the VFL last year, he is quick, has a great set of hands and reads the ball well in the air. Will be a good defender when he can build his body up.

[AdzT3-146]

Yeh even though he's butt ugly he's damn courageous, gotta admire that.
the futures lookin good for the hawks, franklin,thurgood,roughhead,miller and williams is still pretty young?

[Hawk]

Yep Williams is still young, not sold on Harry Miller yet though...is still yet to show enough so far for me (this year and last year in the VFL)...but he will hopefully develop.

Add to that list of young guys Chance Bateman, Campbell Brown, Michael Osborne, Jordan Lewis, Tim Boyle (will debut this year and is an extremely exciting prospect)...plus of course our future captain Luke Hodge....and we are starting to build a strong-ish team. We also have James Hird's cousin on our list (doing well in the VFL) plus another couple of tall players. So hopefully they can come good.

West Coast though have a very, very strong list...and again have some really good youngsters too.
