The casualties from Hawthorn's 38 point turn around win over Port Adelaide keep on coming. The Hawks have already lost Brent Guerra to a hamstring injury and have now lost Ben McGlynn for 4 weeks and Shane Crawford for 1 week due to suspension. These players join Luke hodge who is currently recovering from a hamstring injury sustained against Collingwood in round 7. McGlynn had pleaded guilty to the charge of rough conduct against Kane Cornes, but contested the grading of his action as reckless, arguing he had exercised the requisite duty of care by rolling over Cornes' back when contact became inevitable. The tribunal did not agree, so McGlynn was hit with the base demerit points for the offense, and the additional carry over poins from a round 6 striking charge, received 4 weeks on the sidelines. Shane Crawford accepted a one game suspension for striking Port ruckman Dean Brogan. This will be the fourth match that Crawford has missed this season due to suspension. A senior player of his caliber should really be leading by example and it's disappointing to see him miss another match so early in the season.

The guys are playing great football. Players like Shane Crawford have been around long enough now to know that they should just stick to playing the game each week and getting to the finals. there is still a long way to go and they should not get too confident. They have to loose a game eventually
