bring on the finals. AFL

 Try to keep the tipping thread clean of general banter so I can keep track of who is tipping what team etc. 

 

Can't understand why the Eagles have picked brown. GWS to go straight sets few nervous boys I reckon

 And I think the swans and crows will win by very big margins

 

Eagles 

Crows 

Cats 

Swans

 I'm afraid to say it mate

 I'm afraid to say it mate but i actually think they'll be better next year.

 

Lots of fellas have had good game time this year because of list changes and injuries.

 

There is alot of young fellas still coming in and performing ie Sicily.

 

The old boys aint getting any younger but you'd have them all at the pies right now!!

Success

There success has been built on the old guys staying fit and playing good footy. The end will come eventually, just ask Dane Swan.

 Come on fellas try and stick

Mon, 2016-09-12 20:40

 Come on fellas try and stick to the facts before you trap off here and talk dribble.....

 

Buying a flag done by Hawthorn? Do you mean trading within the Salary cap or do you mean for example the use of COLA like the Swans had which gave them 9.8% more salary to lure the best forward ( the most money ever paid for a player )  in the game and Tippet the previous year.

 

To give you an example of how well the Hawks get looked after we got pick 19 for Franklin ( compensation )

 

We gave away pick 3 for Frawley!!

 

Carlton got pick 11 for Dale Thomas!!

 

We got nothing for either Clinton young or Xavier Ellis which i dont care too much about but comparing to Dale Thomas?!?!? 

 

It seems with a team like Hawthorn success attracts the haters, I suppose in life if you dont like success then thats the Thorn in you're side have to live with                             ( pardon the punn )

 

Anyway its all good, I hope its motivation for the club and as long as they keep playing the hard attacking precise footy that they play i'll still enjoy watching them win loose or draw.

 

And by the way BJ, Dane Swan went out with a major injury. Are you saying you wouldnt have wanted him in you're side this year if he was fit??? You guys are likely to end up with Dalsanto and or Harvey.... Buckley will need to pull a rabbit out of the hat to save his job next year!

I would have loved Swanny in the forward line this year and next. The point i'm making is that for older players you're only one major injury away from finishing up.

 Random? Thats pretty obvious

Mon, 2016-09-12 22:15

 Random?

 

Thats pretty obvious isn't it that if a player fucks himself properly then no doubt they will retire...

 

Are you suggesting Hodge, Mitchell, Gibson and Burgoyne will all do a "Swannie" next year?

 

If not then i'm not sure what you're point was.
