It actually took them 50 years to get there... something like that...
Along the way there was a whole gaggle of coaches who the club employed believing each time that that was the right man for the job.

Probability says sooner or later they were bound to win a flag.....

I saw them... those Cats supporters... weeping and fainting as they won their first flag in half a century as the element of probability that they would one day again kicked in...


Could have won two in a row though.... eh???

Dew... the fattest most unprofessional footballer with dodgy hammies is allowed to run onto a loose ball with noone on the defensive side...(Anyone at all.. it happens every week)
Why wouldnt this bloke be run ragged up and down up and down up and down....???

Anyone playing on him should have a field day getting him buggered in 5 mins....


Although that sounds fine in theory and would have worked even just a few years ago or if he played for Collingwood, it is probably only applicable in a few phases of play with the Hawks.

Due to the Hawks zoning so much he doesn't need to let himself be run ragged, he can just on most occasions let his man go without suffering defensive consequences, as long as he defends his area, but at the same time he is freed up to be used when they have the ball, because you have galloped off and he has just waved bye.

Dew himself has stated that without the use of the zone he would struggle at AFL level.

Sooner or later we will win a flag as well.
Premiership history is littered with clubs that have over or under acheived on that one day in September.

At the moment we are a team that belongs between 4th and 8th depending on lots of things.
If Warnock can make an impact in the second half of the year we will be closer to 4th if he can't we will be closer to 8th. Next year we are a top 4 team.
That is what we should be aiming for and judged on.
