What disunity?

Piedys such success isn't a gaurantee of total unity. In even the best run and most successful organizations in every field of human endeavour there are plotters and the perpetually discontented. Whilst conditions remain rosy they remain in the shadows but as soon as times start to get tough they'll come out of the woodwork and do their thing.

Hawthorn certainly have them, as does every team.

It's simply human nature.

I think it was pretty common knowledge that despite denials Bux wasn't that happy with the way at least some of the so called rat pack went about a few things at training and among the playing group. Fact is, he may have also been a bit to close to them in that he played with them as a team mate before he was a their coach.

When it came time to do things Bux way it was either knuckle down or move on and only Swan remains, others reached retirement age and left gracefully, others had a bit of a sook bit didn't get redrafted to other clubs. Heater behaved like a spoiled, petulant brat and had to go in my opinion.

The fact is none of those guys were going to take us to another premiership after 2011/12 and it was time for most of them anyway.
We've recruited well and now its going to take a huge effort to get this new group up to a flag winning position, it will take a couple of years, that is why if B

It is still going to take a couple of years just to see whose coming on and see if we are in with a shot in my view. Can't see us near a flag till 2017 myself but its an exciting group we've got.

A bit of luck from the umpires and Port might be premiers right now.

With a young list so PIes could be a serious threat in 2016 especially with a few genuine older champs in Pendles and CLoke�.

Hawks were pushed in the prelim in 2013 and 2014 - just scrapped through really - so they are vulnerable and the gap is much closer than people imagine.
