Support at the Hawks June 2nd match - join in.

[Nineteen 159]

June 2nd V the Hawks - Sunday 3.20pm start.

We have a group of 50+ members meeting pre game. 1.30pm at the Transport bar/Fed Sq & strolling down for a 2.30pm meet at light tower one.

The club has generously donated a block of seats in the northern stand area.

Why? We are in keep the faith mode & want to offer a block support to the players. Similarly we will have people at the race mid & post game expressing positive & ongoing support.

You can join in by wearing a navy/black jacket & we have secured BOLD red scarves & caps. $10 will get u fully outfitted, or wear u club colours.

Our intention is to catch eyes & send out the 'Keep the faith' message.

Any queries to me [email protected] Geoff/19

Everyone going to the game needs to wear red and blue - scarf - whatever. We need a presence, a point of difference from the scummies.

Must admit I am trembling at the thought of this game. I hate the Hawks for all the things they have done to us over the years since 1987 ( Here I am not even including the king hits from Lethal on Steven Smith and was it Peter Giles?) I think this could be a 200 point blow out because their precision kicking game will tear us to apart. Our battlers no matter their endeavour on the day will struggle big time.

It was BOTH Giles and Smith, AND behind the play when he was being beaten. Don't forget his cowardly punch of Neil Mc Mullin.

Yes was it the Giles king hit I remember behind the play where several Melbourne players had the opportunity to put Lethal into next week (Brent Crosswell comes to mind) but all they did was scragg him to the ground?? And of course I remember that when coach Alan Joyce was questioned his response was "I didn't see the incident".

Of course Lethal would be a great player today but he might not have played too many games. Nor would have Dipper for that matter.

Neil McMullin had his jaw broken by Mathews in only his first or second game and he retired at the end of the season and went to the amateurs I think and decided to be a surgeon. Giles was hit and both Steven Smith and Alan Jarrott descended on Mathews and he didn't like those odds. Then there was the time Phil Manassa cleaned Mathews up can anybody remember that??

I think I meant coach Allan Jeans by the way in my earlier message! I had not been aware of the Neil McMullin incident. Thank heavens as it would only add to my pathological, ilogical hatred of the Hawks. You see my problem is my wife is a 35 year hawks member as are her parents and some of my best friends. I struggle to speak though gritted teeth when discussing the latest Hawks win these days. I dread the match in two weeks time!!!
