Coat tails of the final tilt mate...

Their zone and midfield pressure stifled the supply to Kennedy that day. Frawley was a good player though.

Hodge was " admirable " today, we were reminded by the commentators in the final quarter. Within 10 seconds, he had kicked into the man on the mark and handballed the ball straight to a Geelong player. He has been a champion but he's gone now. There are too many holes in the Hawthorn team now, not being filled by the likes of Hartung,Sicily, Langford or Vickery. Is it too much to hope for the Weagles to deliver another 86 point thumping to the beleaguered Hawks  next week??? We can only hope !!!!

Geeze.. there's being bitter and the there's just being pathetic.. The guy served his time at Melb, played under the worst management of the clubs history still became AA.. 

Left (which we ended up getting with picks 2&3 with his compo) 

And you label his premiership "cheap" the fact that you label a premiership cheap when the club we support hasn't been able to achieve since TV was Black and White..

I am not saying he wasn't. But he jumped on board to ride the last wave..

most of the hard work was already done.

Whorethorn deserved it's 4 flags. Chip jumped on board late when most of the work was done

thus i consider it a cheap flag compared to a 2016 Bulldog Flag

And their first round pick belongs to the saints. Sainters will be joyous with every Hawks loss.

 

Suck it Hawks.

Yeah.. winning a third flag in a row.. something rarely done.. incredibly cheap compared to winning 1 flag in 60 years..

HAAAAA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

 

I take a small piece of pride knowing that it was definitely Melbourne that finally cracked them and made them come crumbling down.

Before Melbourne beat them - 9 wins in a row, just two losses for the season to round 18.

Since Melbourne beat them - 2 wins, 7 losses.

We can pin this one up next to Melbourne breaking Essendon, way back in the actual drug-cheating season.

Before losing to Melbourne, Round 10, 2012 - 8 wins, 1 loss.

After losing to Melbourne - 3 wins, 9 losses.

 

As a club, we achieve two things for other clubs. Getting their kids rising star nominations, and intervening on behalf of the football demiurge.

Our compo for Frawley was pick 3. We got pick 2 for finishing where we did.

A couple of questions going through my head:

Are the hawks playing for a priority pick?

Paul Roos the Hawthorn coach for 2018?

Take off your eye patch and pure jealousy of a better club. I got what you were implying, I just think it's a ridiculous thing to say.

It's sort of hollow celebrating their demise.

You want to, but deep down those 4 flags in 8 years don't give you much reason to.

Thanks Einstein.. I was saying we were able to get two picks inside the top 3 instead of 1.

I have seen everyone of their putrid flags since '71. 

Worked with 3 Whorethorn Supporters who made my life hell in '87 & '88 ON A DAILY BASIS

I have no sympathy for Chip or Whorethorn Supporters

we could have used Chip on Saturday but he switched off in Mid 2014

Not sure who they'll trade, but you would think at least two of Hodge, Burgoyne and Gibson will call it quits at the end of the year.  Their list as a whole is looking light on for talent, especially in the key position areas, and after this year they will see even more experience disappear from the list.

I don't feel sorry for them in the slightest, but it was inevitable that they would take a fall after 4 flags.

Someone like poppy might hold some value to a team like the giants who don't really have a genuine small forward but is contending for a flag, I suspect they should try and get at least 2 top15 picks this year if they can

need a quick injection of young talent onto that list

I would be more than happy to be 0 & 4 if we had recently won FOUR PREMIERSHIPS. 

So would i. You bet. But thank God their reign has finished.

I don't mind watching them fall apart.

Never liked them much and their flags are irrelevant at this stage.

Their demise is quite enjoyable.despite their succces.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
