We need more experienced enforcers. Someone to stand in the middle of a melee and get the opposition to walk away. Libba is the only one for mine who could do this. Maybe Bruce when he gets back. Where can we get a brute or two?

Sadly, Libba so often sems to be a lone hand in so many scuffles. To his credit Josh Bruce often got involved in the rough stuff on the forward line, he is a big intimidating presence when the push and shove starts.

That person doesn't exist in the AFL anymore.

All the players are hard as *!*!*!*! and go at the footy with a ridiculous amount of recklessness, meaning there's nothing to fight over these days.

It's obviously different, but when I played ammos lip was more effective than physical bluster. You could get inside the head of a player easily and let them stew over it, and hit them as hard as you could in general play. It's different now because you can't say the things you used to be able to say to players to make them feel insecure (and that's actually not a bad thing, in fact, it's a good thing).

So what's next for Smith? He's already hard as *!*!*!*!, and he just needs to double down on that and go even harder than he already does.

The Hawks are completely disgusting when they aren't winning.

From their board, to their footy department and to their coaches. They are entitled wankers and will act like shitheads until the talent actually rolls in.

Mate who is a Hawks supporter won't buy a membership and doesn't go anymore because they are losing.

Sign him up BAD.

Mate who is a Hawks supporter won't buy a membership and doesn't go anymore because they are losing.

Considering their first flag was 61 and they've won 13 (1961, 1971, 1976, 1978, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 2008, 2013, 2014 and 2015) you probably can't blame them!

13 in 61 years is on a average a flag every 4.7 years.

Theyre over due.

It goes to show that even though he had seen an incredible run, many supporters have a 'what have you done for me lately' focus.
To be honest, your mate is a bit different to most Hawks supporters I know.

Attendances at their games tells a different story

Was Sicily lucky to only get fined for an incident that saw Jamarra lying on the ground out of play?

I am not sure who keeps records at AFL (or MRO) but how is that a first offence for Sicily. He has been doing stuff like the hit on Marra since he first played.

Just goes to show AFL are not serious.

The hit was behind play, nowhere near the ball
