Houli
Hunt
Chaplin
Not good enough
3rd best my ass

They are statistical facts over a 66 game period.
-
The stats are pumped up by a defensive, ineffective game plan ala kicking to th pockets and hoping to get a throw in
Get Hurley

Player for player hawthorns defence has never been what I'd term elite but as a group they are awesome. Similarly as a group we have a good defence/defensive setup, even though there is some perceived individual weaknesses there
-
Lol
-
larf it up, proof is there
-
Yes the synergy between between chaplin-Morris-Houli-bachelor strikes me also as on par with the four flag winnig hawks outfit

Hunt hasn't been here for 66 matches...try again, protected troll.

No-one is saying we are hawthorn, merely stating you don't need to have the best players individually for a defence to be very good. The fact of the matter is, collectively, our defence has statistically proven to be very good over the past 3 years. I know that doesn't sit well with the whole chaplin, Grigg, Houli thing you have going, but meh it is what it is.

It's very harsh on rance to expect him to carry to duds year upon year.

Hunt , bachelor, Morris
Defence stallions the six of them.

Geez you love taking discussions into BS territory
Grimes Rance Astbury
Houli Chaplin Vlastuin
Hopefully soon, Broad replaces Chaplin. Otherwise I'm confident that is a good back 6.
Batch hunt Morris? That's old news

Bents brought him up in the post above yours....I assumed you were responding to that...
...and yes he's not usually part of our starting back 6 but he does generally play in back half more often than not.....
