Bottom 4 finish is the new external review.

Yeah Crows finished bottom 4, we are in with them really. Doesn’t take much to go wrong to finish bottom 4, the margins are very fine these days.

Would you say, perhaps, that the competition is on a knife’s edge?

Yes, and we are squashed under the blunt bit. The other side of the knife.

What makes everyone so confident that finishing bottom four for a few years gurantee us success in the future?

It’s exactly how Geeking do it. Guys get farms and houses built for nothing and all of a sudden own large farms with livestock. Geelong are the masters at it. Allegedly

Nobody is saying it does.

But continuing to do what we have been doing likely guarantees continued failure.

And you think what we’re doing at the moment will get us somewhere

Dodoro sorts out a few property deals for the boys and it’s all outrage. Geelong do it and its great culture.

Port Adelaide. He can join Snelling?

No. Get rid of players like Stringer who help us win nothing games, play inexperienced players to gain experience, most likely ending in more losses. Basically do what Hawthorn did.

We were sitting top 4 for 3qrts of the season.

Win games against Crows,Melbourne,Saints GC and we would have finished 5th or 6th with a home elimination final.

You might laugh but i dont think we are that bad

What has patrick done to you?

I know old Frank Costa made quite a few people in the AFL insanely wealthy, including Dodoro and Bomber

If we’d beaten the saints

LOL we lost by over 50 points

If we hadn’t lose a single game, we would be premiership favourites

Like many others including our recruiters, you are confusing accumulating a lot of the ball with talent. Talent is impacting with ball in hand. Elite talent is Impacting whilst being able to accumulate a lot of the ball.

Our biggest strength is accumulating a lot of the ball, but it’s also a weakness because we don’t do a lot with the ball.

You do reliase Hawks arent full of first round picks right? Essendon have way more first rounders then Hawks.

What Hawks do well is develop players and get the best out of thier list

How to beat Essendon? Let them win the ball, they’ll give it back in a better position.
