Are Hawthorn tanking their way to a premiership or 3?

So who really thinks Hawthorn are a 0 and 3 side? Should the AFL investigate? Msybe put a mic in the Hawthorn coaching rooms. This is very reminiscent of the early Clarkson days. Didn't they  bomb out for 2 years?

It seems very convenient the compromised drafts are over too but that's probably just luck.

They don't have a first round pick.

Then why are they losing by 80pts to the Gold Coast also 0 and 2 before today? It makes no sense.

Wow 30 to 40 is their first pick this year.

[Loui Tufga]

Yep, the Gold Coast will benefit greatly from Hawthorn finishing right down the bottom!
If only GWS would do us the same favour

Maybe they have run out of luck and talent. I did wonder why they recruited TV. At best he is only acceptable and not very versatile.

Yep. The Saints are the major beneficiary from Hawthorn's massive drop this year. They currently have pick 1 with Hawthorn on the bottom of the ladder.

Ahh, that's right. It's so freaking confusing🙄

It kind of makes sense if you look at their list ..  Tall fwd non Tyrone options:

Luke surman
Connor nash
Mitchell Lewis
Kaiden brand
Marc pintonet
Kurt heatherly

 

Roughy had the health scare too

Gunston isn't large.

Apparently Mcvoey wants to retire to... Be a farmer

Maybe it's because they are an old list and because of their success they haven't blooded enough kids over the last 3 or so years

And more than that they are SLOW

They way the game's being played so far in 2017 they Hawks game style isn't cutting the mustard.... they are slow, so slow by foot and in ball movement

We get Geelong's first pick mate. They're 0-3. Not looking so good 

[Yeahright]

We get GWS' third round pick and gold coasts 2nd round pick as well

[FLATearth]

How did we get gc 2nd? Part of the prestia deal? I think you are wrong   (would prefer you to be right).  I'm going to assume you are referring to us getting gws 3rd rounder

Gc got bloody 4 2nd rounders



we have
 - 1st round x2
 - 2nd round x0
 - 3rd round x2

Not bad

If the draft were tomorrow: picks 16, 17 , 50, 53

An 71 (4th round)

[tony_montana]

we got gold coasts pick 24(which we used for Caddy) and prestia for our pick 6 and 2017 2nd pick. So we definitely dont have GC's 2nd rounder this year
