"Confidential Hawks file - 19 December 2003 Herald Sun
The key points of Hawthorn's plan to win a flag."
The fact is it wasn't Hawthorn's plan but a Hawthorn fan's plan.
But some of the points are valid ...
"Quite simply, we have to get bigger and have to become physically stronger."
- Agree
"It is unnaceptable for players to say that (physicality) just isn't part of their game."
- Obvious isn't it?
"Aside from near miss on Jess Sinclair it is some time since Richard Vandenberg has hurt the opposition"
- As if the Hawthorn F.C. would want players to deliberately hurt the opposition. May be some other clubs??? but surely not the hawks :P
"Barlow. Thompson, Holland, Hay, Lekkas, Dixon must add a dimension of hardness to their game."
- delete at least Barlow and Hay, (Lekkas borderline)
- insert Bateman, Campbell, Cox, Lonie, and Tallis.
I believe the Hawks have it in them, I just hope they can show it in 2004.

Isn't the Herald Sun wonderful? Fleet Street comes to Melbourne.

According to dyed in the hair Hawks fans, the team is really starting to gel.
