Some of the more delusional ones actually think 2023 will be a failure if their team misses the finals, if you listen to talkback.

 

Not sure about that. The ones I know think that the club is on a full on tank to get Harley Reid at year end.

If we miss the eight  with our list thats worse than getting the spoon.

Realistically the Prelim is a must preferably another flag.

Geelong wont have another dream run,  Swans have shown theyre mentally not up to it, Lions are iffy although dumping Zorko as cpt was a smart move. Collingwood is Collingwood and Carlton is hilarious.

Dismiss Carlton at your peril. Sure they have been a joke for nearly 3 decades but I think they're on the right track and will be pushing for top 4. That's my hot tip.

A very dislikeable fanbase.

And they have the worst colours of any sports team the world over. Pee and Poo colours. What kind of a demented mind thought that was a good idea. 

Cleveland Browns not much better. Neither as bad as green & white hoops though 🤮

Some of the more enlightened think they will have a down year and bounce back into contention in 2024...dreamers.

To me it looks like they are in for an extended period in the bottom part of the ladder.

Benny can't help himself but that smirking host should be ashamed of himself for exploiting the poor bugger. Absolute creep.

Notice the frequent knowing glances off camera.

Carlton have a tougher draw in '23 and could be 1-4 before they know what hit them. They also have key injury issues.

Such style and grace…..

what if Norm Smith wasn’t a good mate of John Kennedy Snr. 
What If…..

Imagine sitting next to them every week had we merged.......

[BDA 22,899]

No team is more deserving of a long stint of mediocrity and missing finals than Hawthorn. Please God make it so.

[Supreme_Demon 3,900]

I hate Hawthorn with a passion.

They really are obnoxious supporters.

Glad we won our drought breaking Premiership in 2021 just to shut them up!

[Fritta and Turner 4,543]

I was at artic park and we were flogging them.

Smug Hawks supporter turned to me and said 'Thats not Hawthorn out there today'.

(So why had he come to the game?)

I actually have Hawthorn supporters (one obnoxious pig in particular) to thank for discovering - then joining - the Demon Army. Round 7 last year I was up on level 4 at the ‘G surrounded by the most repugnant Hawks supporters. I’d endured opposition supporters many times, but these guys were next level. One extremely odious man in particular started to make his insults personal to the point that I got up and left to go home at halftime, in tears, to the sound of him bellowing, “if you can’t take it, princess, don’t [censored]ing come to the footy.” A security guy saw me outside and brought me back in and said I could sit in the area behind the goals, where I’d feel safe. Turns out I was smack bang in the middle of the cheer squad - where I really shouldn’t have been - and have remained there ever since. 😊

Glad your story had a happy end to it, @WalkingCivilWar!  How odious of the Hawthorn supporter though...

I admire your sentiment but alas both the filth and Geelong are more deserving of long stints of mediocrity.

Moreover, he had his kids with him! The poor things were so ashamed of him. At one point I caught eyes with the little girl and she attempted to muster a feeble smile, surreptitiously of course because god only knows what he would’ve said had he seen her smiling at a “stuck-up, posh piece of sh!tt Melbourne supporter” his words, not mine. Thing is, of the insults that he threw my way, that one didn’t bother me since it couldn’t be further from the truth. 😁

Hashtag Bogan and proud of it. 🤗

Forgive me for venting but I strayed on to Big Footy this morning and found myself reading a thread on the Hawks forum with the headline ‘Why is Hawthorn so great’? As exercises in self delusion it can’t be beaten. I wanted to answer it, but turns out I don’t have reply rights on BF so I am letting rip here.

They make a few points but all annoying. Here goes: Anyone alive has seen more Hawthorn premierships than any other (13 - this much is true); the Coodabeens used to have a joke that the Grand Final was the final match of the year when someone played Hawthorn. Elsewhere they bang on about St Kilda having no right to try to establish a stronger presence in the south east because that is Hawthorn territory.

Anyone who has read Between The Flags would know how much of this is self-serving BS. Hawthorn’s presence in the south east, and eight of those 13 premierships are in large part due to the introduction of country zoning in 1967.

St Kilda was the sole inhabitant of the south east when country zones came in and was counting on being assigned the Mornington Peninsula but the Saints were premiers at the time and Hawthorn, well Hawthorn was rubbish and bumbling about in the bottom third of the ladder, so luckily, or suspiciously, Hawthorn was assigned the talent-rich MP- West Gippsland zone that the Saints had prepared for by moving to Moorabbin.

They also boast of having voted - “unlike that other mob” - to have opposed a merger, and again, any who has read Between The Flags knows that is a misreading of what happened.

The truth is, we were once like them. Melbourne originally had one great advantage in recruiting, which was the fact we played at the best ground in the state, probably the nation. For a quarter of a century we made the most of it, then times changed. Hawthorn likewise had one great advantage, their amazing country zone and good luck to them, they made the most of it.

But its’ infuriating that they think their success is down to their own virtue. I know I made that same mistake about us.

On another matter, they also sling off at St Kilda trying to increase its presence in the south east because that is “Hawthorn territory”. See paragraph four above to understand the falseness of that self-delusion.

So I’ll pose another question: Why are Hawthorn supporters so full of it? All contributions gratefully accepted.

 

 

They were giving it to me in that 2018 final and I actually thought some of their garbage was pukeworthy.

At the end of the game I just smiled at them as they skulked away.

All’s well that ends well.
