Not if you were supporting the Hawks.

It was just great could not happen to a bigger bunch of cheats

" It cost more to live in Sydney!" what a load of crap

[SaberFang 7,151]

I live in Sydney and the COLA is crap. The cost of a medium coffee here is $2.50, whereas it was $3.80 in Melbourne. Empirical evidence right there! Might taste like absolute garbage compared to Melbourne, but that's not the point...

If you follow the dees you hate Hawthorn with a passion. so boring to the n th degree!

Isn't free agency a wonderful thing. Strip the good players from the struggling clubs and strengthen the top teams. It's a complete joke!

[Demoneyes 562]

Not much of a coffee drinker and hate COLA. Prefer a nice sarsparilla

Lake is the only player Hawthorn have got from free agency.

The difference between Hawthorn and Melbourne is their high draft picks have been stars.

Was going to post something similar but wanted to confirm Lake was their only free agent. Indeed it's true, you can't blame the success of the Hawks on free agency. They have a brilliant coach, brilliant culture, brilliant players, and that breeds strong development of their draftees and recruits.

Sadly though, free agency will keep them right at the top, because they'll replace any KPP with gold from the lowly clubs to stay at the top.

[Demonsone 2,037]

Makes you feel frustrated... Since the fail merger... Hawks 3 flags , 4 gf....vs mfc 1 gf in2000

As a club we went around in circles & butchered our early draft picks & created crap culture!

[old dee 23,792]

After watching 7 today I can only say the quicker FOX are allowed to telecast the GF the better.

I know the Adverts make the world go round but the number is astounding

Also when are we going to get over the need for an overseas star as entertainment.

Tom was ok but god knows how much he cost.

Spend the money on an aussie.

Plus they lost Franklin to free agency.

I agree Hogan but lets forget the past and think 2015 on

We will go crazy looking back.

And their low draft picks. (e.g. Langford)

[rjay 24,929]

You better hope rjay doesn't read that.

(I agree btw)

Very, very average today but not on his own. I reckon only 3 and 1/2 players came to play today. Malceski by far their best player on the day, Kennedy worked hard, Buddy did his job and Goodes was the half, at least he did something with the ball. The rest might as well not have bothered, in fact they didn't.

Such a boring game of footy, Sydney got well ahead of themselves and forgot all about the defensive aspects of their game.

[SaberFang 7,151]

What I will say is they are riding this success off the priority pick that landed them Roughead. It shows that good drafting can get you up the ladder to sustained success.

We absolutely butchered our priority picks. I wish we'd had the chance to see what a PP under Roos could land us, but it's not to be in modern AFL, where the successful teams run the competition.

[Dockett 32 1,239]

Could Sydney enter the ring for pick three. Hope so!

[Chook 15,013]

Hawthorn is an example of how I can hate things through jealousy.
Sydney is an example of how I can hate things that are unfair.

I still hate 'em both, but one is significantly more honourable as far as hatred goes.

Can't change the past but what occurred in our four club from 08-13 was diabolical & set us back 10yrs!

Channel 7 interview with Brendon Bolton. Aside from praising Clarkson, gives special mention to Luke Beveridge, Chris Fagen, Adem Yze and Cameron Bruce.

[InVINCEable 358]

Rioli shouldn't have played, didn't deserve it.

[InVINCEable 358]

It pisses me off how Hawthorn barely even care they won it, if this was any other club they'd be going mad. Far out I hate Hawthorn.

[Jaded No More 68,922]

I'm so jealous!

Feels like we'll never get to enjoy this type of amazing happiness!

[Demonsone 2,037]

They are a premiership club! Clubs win flags not just teams!

Lets hope PJ & co are on the same pathway!

[Meggs 595]

We had great seats on tier 4 in row A and we were quite excited when Tom Jones belted out Delilah directly in front of us and when ONJ came on I was just about there. Unfortunately the contest was non-event and the game a dull affair. We left at 3 qtr time along with many others.

Who won the Norm Smith ?

All with a Melbourne Football club connection. When is this going to rub off onto us the mighty Demons?
