I'd put money on North improving their conversion rate this season. Rocca's a good get

Was just having a beer with my Collingwood supporter mate earlier when he told me that. Great get for them although I’m sure Steve Kolynuik could still out maneuver him

Re: Assistant coaches merry go round
The cliff has come for Hawthorn very quickly.
It was only 5 years ago they were the envy of the competition and the gold standard for every other club, now they're looking at an extended period at the bottom of the ladder, have very little quality youth coming through after cashing their chips on mature talent, have an embarrassing off field issue to deal with and have just lost a key operator.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

I have a Hawthorn supporting mate or two who genuinely think they were tanking last year. I'm really hoping that sort of hubris permeates their supporters and the club itself, as there's nothing I'd like more than to see them struggle again on and off the field.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

My Hawthorn supporting mate has said he is not renewing at the level he has in the past. Firstly because he paid out alot last year and there was no footy and secondly because he doesn't think they will win many this year. I have always suspected him to be a bandwagoner

During their dominant reign, their membership numbers were huge. I expect them to crash back to earth over the next few years.

Their supporters are typically very optimistic I guess because they have been so good for and extended period. They're right behind their top up approach and are expecting an 'around the 8' effort this year.
I don't believe the signs are that positive for them

Coaching panel shake-up: All the new faces at your club, who's gone
All clubs in article including:
The Dogs were one of the few clubs who kept line coaches on stand down when the season resumed last year, with Jordan Russell (midfield) and Joel Corey (stoppages) not returning to the club. Development coach and flag hero Dale Morris, who was a development coach, was also stood down as senior coach Luke Beveridge worked with a streamlined group on the road in the Queensland hub. Morris works mainly in an off-field role in the Dogs' commercial team. Beveridge also lost rising assistant Daniel Giansiracusa to Essendon in the off-season, seeing the Dogs enter the season with a seven-man panel – Beveridge, assistants Steven King, Rohan Smith and Ash Hansen, development manager Jamie Maddocks, development coach Travis Varcoe and VFL coach Stewart Edge. It is down from the nine they had on deck at the beginning of 2020. – Callum Twomey

Most of the hawks supporters who are between 40-60 years have lived through golden generations and not appreciated just how lucky they've been - how could they have?
