    Halfway through the season & it's getting interesting...

    Away at play-off contenders Fremantle, my team, Hawthorn, came from 28 point down in the 3rd Quarter, to end up winning by 22 points - that's a 50 point turnaround!!!

    Talk about never say die!

    (17.9) 111 v (13.11) 89

    Next week & the 3rd placed Hawks have an absolute blockbuster in store with top of the table Geelong... fingers crossed Lance Franklin is back in time.

    Huge game in the offering.

    Heart breaker at the 'G', with the Hawks narrowly going down by less than a goal, as the Cats came from behind to keep their perfect start to the season intact - 11 wins from 11 played.

    Hawks slip to 4th, but title aspirations could be more seriously knocked as forward Jamie Roughead may have picked up a similiar injury to the one that kept Andy Hinkel sidelined all year for the Hoops. Fingers crossed it's not the end of the season for him. Long way to go til the play-offs in September though.

    Carrrn the Crows...

    Nah, they're *.

    Used to follow the Crows when I was younger until the A-League started and now I don't really get into AFL.

    Hawks well placed in 4th... should be interesting one this weekend, as a few of my good mates are Bombers fans...

    Question is, can anyone stop the Cats? 12 from 12... but at least 2 of the 3 losses the Hawks have had, have been to Geelong, so that we are in good shape at this point of the season.

    It happens... there were alot of barren years for the Hawks between the glory days of the 80's til they won the Premiership a few years back. Indeed, my rugby league team has never won in my lifetime... but admittedly, I didn't follow league til I moved to Sydney & barely follow it now, lol.

    No, mate. I'm in Scotland, but moved from Hobart to Sydney to go to uni, way back when. Often wish I was back in Aus, though.

    Get up there... Hawks hammer the Bombers by 65 points, in front of 65 000 at the 'G'.
    23.8 (146) v 12.9 (81)

    Lost couple more injured, but the youngsters keep on stepping up to cover.
    10th win of the season & move into equal 2nd.
