My eight-year-old has never seen his footy team win. I don’t want to lie to him
 

cry me a river of wees and poos 

they’ve only been [censored] for about 2 mins 

about as fair weather as it gets

Fair play I guess, I'd like to see someone do a vox pop at the next Hawthorn game asking all the under 10 y.o's how it feels to have never seen the Hawks win a flag. 

Really feel for the Poos and Wees.

I personally would love to see the Poos and Wees get flogged for another decade. No sympathy at all from me.

Long may it continue.

No supporter group have I copped it from more.

We should have a MFC tent at all the hawks games, handing out free Trac and Oliver merch to all these poor, suffering Hawthorn kids.  There's plenty of room on our bangwagon.

My heart bleeds for all the bandwagon fans of the 1980s and 1990s who are now facing the prospect of dealing with miserable, dissenting offspring in the 2020s. If ever a team deserves to be relocated to Tasmania (or Kalgoorlie), it is that one.

I would just like to thank you all for sharing your Borethorn schadenfreude.

And those who are yet to contribute, thank you in advance.

"Yet here we were again, fleeing at three-quarter time, squashed into a carriage full of brown and gold."

What a soft rooster he is.

Sweet sweet schadenfreude

That must really stink

Oh a monumental boo-frickrn-hoo. Caught up with a Hawks supporting friend several years ago. Asked him how many flags he'd seen in his lifetime. His honest response "I can't remember." I was pretty sure it was about 10. 1 for every 4 years of his life to that point. Long may their descent continue.

"Why can't Hawthorn win all the flags, forever and ever, and then turn back time and win them all over again, and then invent a new sport and win all the flags in that too? Why is life so unfair? Won't somebody think of the children? Oh, and at three quarter time the jam doughnuts aren't properly warmed up yet, so it's just injury upon injury."

They can relocate to Tassy, sorry make that Siberia, no mercy whatsoever. I still have nightmares over the 87 Preliminary Final. Hate them with a passion

I hate them too. I was at the 87 Preliminary Final ... took a long while to get over. (We kinda lost it ourselves ... Campbell, Yeats, Eishold.) 

But I think it's overlooked that we would have been hammered the next week (in the GF) had we won the PF.

 

This must be how the impoverished feel when they see the wealthy complain about taxation…

 

 

 

 

We should really target Jiath for recruitment.

a) He's pretty handy.

b) He's Hawthorn's only entertaining player under 28.

Other clubs can pick up Newcombe and Lewis, and that'll be it, no more Hawks from 2024-2030. Get it done.

I personally can't wait to taste the bitter tears of Geelong fans when they finally fall off a cliff. Delicious!

 

This is a wonderful thread, thank you.

May the Clarko curse ruin them for decades.

Can confirm.

One of my favourite topics. 

1. I have PTSS regarding '87
2. What do Peter Giles, Steven Smith, Roger Ellingworth and Neville Bruns all have in common?
3.

**** wow, they’re going through the doldrums of a few bad years after a dynasty and already they’re crying about being carp? Get stuffed and have 50+ years of pain, then talk to us. 

The only thing that could have possibly made this article better was if the dorks were still playing at cold and windy Waverley and after another drubbing instead of catching a train home he had to trudge out to his car, only to be stuck in the boggy carpark for 6 hours listening to match reviews on the radio

Let's enjoy this one to the fullest before we move on to Geelong. Let's not dilute the schadenfreude.

Dogs, Swans, Saints, even [censored] Dons and Pies fans know a little something about waiting a long time between drinks. As if the Hawks weren't already hated. This guy is sealing the deal.
