to be honest, knowing the Hawks wont be making a GF in 2024 this early into finals helps me cope. they have already embarrassed us for showing how to draft and develop young players and recruit senior players. We've bemoaned not replacing Liam Jones since the day he suddenly retired, many inside Carlton are still bemoaning and observers of the game outside the club point to the obvious lack of a tall KPD to play second fiddle to Weiters the way Liam Jones was perfectly in sync when he left us.
Just watched the highlights from Hawks v Port. Hawks first three goals and their fifth all came from legit BS free kicks. not to mention Chol carrying the ball a least a foot outside the boundary for about 3 seconds prior to them getting the free that gave them their fifth goal (and racking up their tenth umpire's assist before half time).
Sicily hitting the goal post with his set shot from 40 m out on 30º angle just 64 seconds before the final siren (with score: Port 75 v Hawks 71) is mildly restorative too
HOK that in ya WOK and FRY it you eastern suburbs, Jeff Kennett loving, Liberal-voting w@#kers!
Meanwhile Hawks recruit two more decent quality senior list defenders during this season right under our nose. Can't say Barass and the other one are clearly better than Gov and Kemp (may be one day) but the fact is they just went a did it. We don't have the list or salary capacity to address our needs nor the high drat picks to build hope for tomorrow.
And incidentally, just read the Bulldogs used our pick #46 (which we gave up for the fortuitous Liam Jones KPF trade) to draft Caleb Daniel in 2014. In round 4 2016, Caleb Daniel was the round nominee for the 2016 AFL Rising Star after collecting 25 disposals in a 36-point win against Carlton. He would finish runner-up to Sydney's Callum Mills. Annoying too.
