i reckon hawks will come 1st or 2nd

I don't think that we r going 2 finish 3rd at all. We still have a chance 2 finish on top that's if we beat Geelong in round 17 which i think we will

there going all the way to the top this year, bring on geelong on the big day in september i say!! hawks eat em alive

they have what it takes with buddy and raughhead but there streak gotta be over soon... i think they will be in the top 4 for sure lol

what a crock of ****! fist or second and thtas not just being one-eye! We are just getting better and better each week

i think its a fair call, the hawks are still a young and in-experience side, although im a massive hawks supporter, expect a few hiccupps from now but a strong chance to make the gf, we actually have 3 good ruckman although max bailey is out injured, a quality midfield which also includes chance bateman, micheal osborne, clinton young and why does every one forget brad sewell???, Our backline is gettin stronger too, birchall is awesome at rebounding, guerra is tough as rusty nails, expect good things this year tho, carn the hawks

anything but a premiership could be classed as a loss but we are certainly improving all the time. playing awesome at the moment

robbie campbell is a gun ruckman for someone of his weight and he can be dropped down in the backline when our small young backline isnt holding up, as shown against kangaroos last week in the last quarter. i think we have one of the best midfields in the league and our forward line isnt far off it, once we have a full strength backline and our younger boys get some more experience, we will be better than geelong

I think 3rd is definitely a realistic prediction for the hawks. I keep hearing people call up on radio and say that the hawks have no backline, and again I don't see our backline get a mention in that article, which really annoys me. I think our backline is one of the best and most underrated in the league. Croady and Browny get most of the credit, but just because Stephen Gilham isn't a well known player doesn't make him any less of a factor in our backline. Take Matthew Egan for example, no one had heard of him before last year. Gilham's done a solid job every game he's played and provides good drive out of defence along with Birch, Guerra and Ladson. Then we've got the young, promising Tom Murphy, and Campbell the ruckman who can go back and play key position and beat his opponent. I think that with our midfield, and our forward line, if we don't finish top 4 it would be a bit of a diasppointing year.

Anyway sorry for the rant, just had to get it out there =]

hawks now have a list that can push for top 4 spot but we still have some hurdles to over come we need to keep winning games until our key player like crawford hodge come back and if we want to be serious contenders we need to be more disapline and win more of the games we know we should win if we can do all that and minamise the amount of injuries then we might have a chance at the big one

i rekon that Robert Campbell is a STAR!

by saying the hawks will finish 3rd means most people would say geelong top saints second which may happen but the saints may have won the nab cup but 2 weeks in have not proved they are worthy just yet so the hawks may finish top 2 but lets not get ahead of ourselves anything in the top 4 would be great to gain more finals experience so if not this year the hawks will give it a real crack next year

3rd is realistic & 2nd could be justified, but the season is long and many factors can influence...fingers crossed that we have no serious injuries, losing croad and dew could hurt early
