HAWTHOFF 2012 !!!

Post by anttal63 »

Well well here we are again and its already been 3 yrs since the last one; viewtopic.php?f=104&t=1748&hilit=hawthoff

As i have done some Hawthorn collecting of late AND Hawthorn is in the Grand final, i am proposing a new challenge to all you budding collectors/yamadori hunters. I would like to extend the invitation to any material collected from winter 2010 to the present date. You are welcome and encouraged to submit as many entries as you like! I think it would be alot of fun to also give your entry a title/name. To kick off the challenge i would like to submit my 1st entry Leroy Stagg... To give you an idea of size that box is 500mm across! Miyagi im comin after you !!! :P :P :P

GO HAWKERS !!!

Hi Alpine, My recollection is that general consensus pointed to miyagimans Canon winning the challenge hands down ??? Were we supposed to continue it ??? Does it matter ??? Have you collected anything in the last 2 years, if not i bet there are a few out your way ready for the picking !!! Go grab one or 2 or 3 and get on mate !!! :tu: :tu:

Tony, as a Cats supporter, it is my mortal duty to detest all things Hawthorn, given our history and some unfinished business.......however I didn't enjoy the last 6 years of beautiful, skillful footy to have the Swans turn our game back to a turd sandwich like it was pre 2007. 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??

Cheers,
Mojo

Looks like I've gotta go and dig the cannons brother, and put you all to shame again. The cannon wasn't a bad tree, but it's brother is TOUGH ! :whistle:
MIYAGIMAN :aussie: PS, ANT, your other tree won't help you either.
