Was that Ratten crying?

Woohoo Onya Hawthorn. Great win. Great team. :clapping

Only criticism I can think of is awful colours but what does that matter compared to sustained excellence.

 

[waiting]

TF think you are right

 

[Rosy]

Totally disagree with Ling. This team is nowhere near as strong as the 80s unit. 7 GFs in a row.

Things are designed for equalisation now yet Hawks trade and draft well and still dominate. A class above the rest in a time 3 premierships in a row should be impossible.

How sweet is Jordan Lewis with his tiny 6 day old baby.

Never understood why others hate or make fun of their 2 colours when 1 is ours. I like the gold & brown. Some call us lemons due to the brighter yellow.

Worst jumpers are the Pies....no colour.

Grumpy Dennis.... :hihi

To be fair it must be psychologically tough when the free kicks are even at half time instead of 2:1 your way. LOL

Did anyone believe this could happen after we got Wallace and they got Clarkson?
2004 feels like it is a million years ago

Agree with you Rosy.

18 team comp
Concessions handed left right centre

Remarkable remarkable achievement

But that Hawk side in the 80"s was awesome as was the Melb team in the 50"s that played as many and were stopped by Collingwood achieving the 4peat!


Jealous and as much as I hate them I'm in awe as I have 3 Hawk mates who are gracious and not big headed like most.

What ifs. . Zip them Wallace us Clarkson ??????

Like his uncle before him Cyril Norm Smith. Congrats!

Haha TF you keep bringing up depressing info. To think people on here laughed at Hawks getting stuck with Clarkson while we landed the mighty Terry Wallace. Missed by that much.

Yep I am so happy for my son, my grand kids, my sister, my brother, my daughter's partner and my Hawk friends. Same as they'd be happy for me if the tables were reversed. Hawthorn, from my limited experience with them, are very friendly and welcoming. I am genuinely happy for them.

Hope so, I have money on him :beer

Well done Hawks. To,think I barracked for them for about 24hours when I was about 5.

 

[Rosy]

.........

Hawks by 28. Cyril for Normie.

Sold the Hawks short but I knew Cyril would do it.

NicNat. 4 disposals, 0 marks. That should shut the media up for a year or two. Watts probably would have done more.

Yep and added to that sickness and family death etc affecting key coaches.

It wouldn't surprise me. I feel so sorry for him. What an emotional roller coaster for him. Losing his son and winning a grand final. So sad.

Reminded me of why I prefer to watch the games on Fox.
