Erm....did Hawthorn win?

Well, there goes my annual challenge to avoid finding out who won...

Yawn!!!

 

[MastersBrewery]

oh ok so there was another game of foot ball, ..cool, at least there was a good reason for a beer or two to be downed!

 

[mckenry]

How can you smash anyone in a non-contact sport?

 

[CrookedFingers]

GO HAWKERS !!!!!!!

Boo. Fkn. Yah ! :super:

Stunning, comprehensive victory. Really impressed with how well the Hawks played - one of their best games all season, and they pull it out in the Gand Final !

Truly surprised as to how it worked out: Hawks totally all over the Swans after the first 10mins.
I was waiting for Buddy, Goodes, Tippet et al to bust it open at any time, but it just never happened. Only at the end of the 3rd Quarter was i thinking we really did have it stitched up. Kinda silly in hindsight - Sydney just never really had a chance.

I still greatly admire Buddy and wish him no ill will, but was particularly chuffed that we did over the Swans after they shelled $10mill to buy a star player (off one of their main opposition teams) to excessively top up their already-star-studded team. Poetic justice, baby!

Big ups to Clarko, Hodgy and the boys. Fantastic effort. B)

That's okay - I found out it was grand final day today... and I had a bbq to go to. Win! Mostly for the bbq, though. And beer.

And did I mention the beer?

 

[CrookedFingers]

I may be the only hawks supporter on this forum who is happy !

You will not dampen my spirits !!

Back to back baby !!!!!!!

[jyo]

Yep, no contest, which was very surprising. 2nd half was boring as bat ****. Not exciting to watch at all.

 

[CrookedFingers]

Was for me jyo !!!

Damn straight techno !!

Great effort to rip out the best game of the season in the GF. Well coached and played by the boys. Bringing in Cyril was a good move too.
No hard feelings for buddy, but they can have him. !!!!!!

Freakin happy !

Go the Mighty Hawks! any fuckn doubt?

 

[philmud]

Boring game of footy, Hawks were excellent, though. Also watched my second game of League for the year with the rapists taking out Penriff. That sport has zero room for creativity. No wonder League players piss into their own mouths for fun.

This. The swans played like ****. After the last 14 games, where they've lost none but one, I was dismayed. **** the Hawks but as much as it pains me to say it the swans deserved to lose after playing like that. It was a very somber affair in Sydney (well, the pub I was in) this afternoon.

 

[Cocko]

We're the mighty team at...

[Camo6]

Watched the game with the in-laws today who are all mad Hawk fans. During the after game presentation my six year old came in and said "Oh, the poos and wees won." That's my girl!

Hells yeah!!
Really, really stoked with how they played.
I don't want to be one of those gushing supporters (bordering on arrogance, etc); but they just played so damn well !!
Everything they were trying to do over the last several weeks really came together like a dream. Rather than struggling to maintain enough back-up while clearing and moving the ball out of packs, they worked perfectly: they always had that last, necessary player to pass to, without compromising their forward movement. Pressure on the ball was amazing. Every inch was ground out. They seemed desperate to win, whereas the Swan just didn't seem that desperate. Hawks went in super hard on the ball; & also on the opposing players. Poor ol' Buddy was a bit of a target, unfortunately, but i'm glad it wasn't just a punch-up. I just wanted to see a sort of hard "friendly rivalry" between the Hawks & Swans
Kinda pleased to see 2 of the main Swans players to stand up were Buddy & Kennedy - both ex-Hawks players.
And it seems like Clarkson again came through with the goods - all the right decisions, re: team selection to match Sydney, etc.
Stoked, i tell you!

Go the Mighty Hawks! any fuckn doubt?

Wayne, i didn't know you were a supporter also. Great minds think alike Hope you're having a great time celebrating out there!

Yeah, not sure if it was much for neutral AFL fans to watch beyond half time. For pessimistic Hawks fans like myself, it was still a contest until 10mins into the final quarter
Pretty good summary of League/Union - i love watching, but i still thinks it lack the dynamics of AFL :mellow:

... **** the Hawks ...

Booooooo !

Also, i discovered tonight that my Old Ale (a Theakston's Old Peculier clone i entered into the Melb July case swap) though somewhat over-carbed, is definitely better than Vale Dark Ale.
Double win!!

 

[Whiteferret]

Had friends around for some drinks whilst the game was on. fwuckers decided they were goin for the swans to spite me.
That'll teach them had the team song ready to go on the phone and amp Haha!

Trained well!

 

[Mitchlj73]

I used to be a Hawks fan, but in year 2( 6 years old and many moons ago)I jumped ship to the mighty "D's" smart move that was.Both back then which was mid 1980's and now! Great game by the Hawkers but average game to watch after probably 1/4 time.

 

[jtsteel]

My son and I try to get to a hawks game or two every year. Not always easy from Goulburn, NSW. Every time without fail we see them beaten, regardless of who they play! We decided that this grand final we wouldn't watch on tv so as to ward off our bad luck. Worked a treat! Go hawks!

 

[malt and barley blues]

I went to my first and only game of AFL in 1977 at the Western Oval a police officer caught me climbing over the wall, he made me climb back and watch the game!

 

[philmud]

Well, the Footscray Bulldogs were outstanding in the VFL this year & played games in Footscray. I live about a click down the road from the Western oval. My grandpa was a doggies man & when he left for the pub in the sky I pinched some dirt from the centre square so he could be buried with part of what he used to call "the holy land".

 

[malt and barley blues]

Yes, that was just a joke, followed them all this time since coming to Australia and the VFL is the only time I have seen them win any silverware.

 

[Midnight Brew]

Went to the big game yesterday and loved every moment. Soaked it all up and still enjoying the win. The atmosphere was phenomenal and I couldnt dare to call it a boring game. A wonderful achievement considering the cards the club was dealt this season.

That's true, the win is testament to the side. To lose your coach for so much of the season and not skip a beat is pretty amazing. For me the Hawks weren't the source of disappointment, but rather Sydney. Not a yelp given!

We didn't win...we sh*t it in!!
