What is everyone's thoughts on Hawthorn ?  Do they have the stars to win a flag ?  can they back it up next year ?

Dunno if they have the stars but they are playing well as a group and the culture looks good. Great buy in from all the players.

2025, I dunno. But I hope they knock another team out in this finals.

Overachieved. Will get bounced first week of finals and wouldn’t surprise me in the least if they missed finals altogether next season.

Just don’t have anywhere near the talent on their list to be serious contenders.

I wonder if people said that about us in 2017

Our top end talent was never in question.

Dunno about the Hawks but watching the Kangas today they are absolute trash.

Still ahead of ours but even a 1 point win for us would be enough to jump them.

They look skilful, fast and very very very fit.

Confidence is sky high.

I wouldn't want to play them in September if you had a slow team.

They remind me of our 2014 run. A little more dominant but similar

Our top end talent was never in question.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Very exciting team .  They should give every tiger fan hope that we can turn it around in a few years .

stuff 'em - hope they fall on their arses - had a gutfull of p*ss & shyte premierships....seen enough to last me a lifetime, like to see them at least go one stuffing decade without winning one and cetainly don't want 'em getting to 14 & overtaking us again so soon...was bad enough we only got one year of having more flags than the Toffs....... >:(
