Andy Collins hit back at Garry Lyon's article:

Coburg has won three straight to charge to top place, perhaps temporarily with five Round 4 games left.

"We wouldn't have anticipated that with such a young group, but our young guys are coming along a lot quicker," Collins said.'

"And you know that article about Richmond youth and Hawthorn youth, well it was on display today, wasn't it?

"These are guys that Terry is looking at to step up and they are developing really nicely as footballers at the moment."

Buddy did today but not the rest of Lyon's so-called blue-chippers  . I would say we're still level pegging with the Hawks with more true youngsters playing in our senior line-up. Lyon included Hawks who are 22+ years old in his "analysis" 

[letsgetiton!]

buddy did do ok today v an overrated an short defence

cant believe we lost to the dogs, i dont rate them, st kilda likewise

[mightytiges]

Playing only one and half quarters like we did won't beat anyone let alone the dogs.

A Hawk supporter is getting stuck into Clarkson's coaching today on SEN because he reckons they should have beaten the dogs today lol. A caller followed saying the Hawks have a very thin second tier once they get a couple of injuries, Buddy will go home to WA and all their kids that the media are talking up haven't done anything and all Hawthorn can do is hope they do  .

i heard him, he said that he has watched their reseves team box hill and they are shocking!  lmao

how much did the dawks overuse and butcher the ball today lol

and ppl say we are the clanger kings lmao!

hawks are deluding themselves

and if we played our first 4 games as good as we played teh eagles we would be 4-1 by now

only if

[mightytiges]

If we were 4-1 we'd probably be deluding ourselves too. Our unforced skill level is still well below par even if we had won the games we could have. At least we aren't getting ahead of ourselves like the Hawks and a number of other Vic clubs are.

true , but the more kids we play, the less skill errors we will make cos they are better skilled than the senior mob we have. foley at times stuffs up but he canh be excused cos he is still young and under the pump alot doing it alone in teh midfield

Yep. You can at least understand some skill errors under heavy physically pressure. It's the unforced skill errors and obvious bad decision making that is unforgivable because every teammate has ran off their opponent so on the turnover the opposition have free players everywhere.

[one-eyed]

Interesting Dunstall today says the Hawks need to add pace to their midfield which is the path we we've gone down since Plough took over. We of course need to add a classy inside ballwinning midfielder or two to help out Foley which the Hawks already have a few of. Both clubs need another key defender and we need another quality ruckman as well.

Hawthorn was in need of midfield pace and a key defender as it tried to build a premiership team. Dunstall said "another pacy midfielder" and a key defender were needed, but said: "I don't think you have to have every position filled to win a premiership … it's pretty hard to tick all those boxes."

Also Roughead had been playing VFL before a late call up last week yet he doesn't cop the bagging Tambo does even though he was picked up earlier  .

But KP always take longer..........

Tell that to Jono Brown

Fairly handy performance by the Hawkers tonight!!!!

They had about 4 top ten draft picks out of their team tonight.

Gee, Wallace must be rapt to be at Richmond

Hawks are certainly a huge chance for a top 4 spot now

Why is this fascination with Hawthorn - don't understand it
