As much as we're sick of Hawthorn winning(except today of course)you have to admire the way they go about their business. They have been hard hit by injuries, had two retirements, an aging list but they seem to do everything so professionally. Would love Freo to be like that.
Their older players just keep on keeping on. e.g. Gibson 44 disposals as a backman. Amazing.
Skills-brilliiant
Pace & poise
Tackles that stick
Recruiting-fantastic. Yes they have players wanting to join them and not many wanting to leave but as Docker by The Sea said elsewhere they had a third of their team today who were new or not regular players. They've covered all areas of the ground recruiting where they feel they are deficient. They certainly don't go for the old pick the best player available in the draft story.
