If the Swans win the flag, even the teams with ordinary cattle will mimic their robotic defensive slog. Not for me. Therefore, regretfully......Go Hawks.

This thread is about footy, yes??

Sorry Ant, but as an old Sydney boy, hawthorns are definitely boring. (See my topic "Elm McPherson" for example).

GO SWINE!!!!! (Is that the plural for Swan? I'm not a great footie fan.)

Seriously, anyone who can make a team of average players into premiership contenders should address a bonsai conference.

GO SWANNIES!!!!

(Never forget that they're actually Bloods. Real Red Bloods. Swans is for the marketing specialists. On higher wages than the players, and who make Great Mistakes, but never pay.)

GO BLOODS!!!!

(Proudly presented with the assistance of a small amount of beer. Well, some.)

See you Saturday,

Gavin

I showed pics of mine from the original Hawthoff recently, no room to collect more at the moment
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Gentlemen as stated earlier Material for this challenge should be as old as winter 2010. Collected with in the last 2 years. If that fits fantastic if not go dig one 2moro cause they love it as they are popping.

Bretts no room is always a problem, What if theirs something better than you already have ???

Yeah well OK Congrats to the Swans they certainly played a huge game and are in no doubt the team of 2012 !!! Well done hawkers for showing such courage !!!


Now show me ya hawthorne's !!! :tu: :tu:
