Chronologically correct.

The irony of them saying this is the worst top 4 in their lifetime when they won a flag against a Ross Lyon-coached Fremantle team lol

They say worst top 4, others say most open.

Eye of the beholder.

All hawks fans are mad. Or other negative adjectives.

Turned my phone off and then threw it at the couch. 

There were too many little alerts popping up with smartarse messages like “what’s happened?” Or “have the Dees stopped??” 

I made sure to reply later on..

Never feel sorry for them. We still owe them some soul crushing finals defeats and about 500 points worth of floggings.

There’s a long list of clubs we need to be grinding into dust any chance we get (Pies, Bombers, Cats, Blues) but the Hawks are right up there. 

Carlton are the worst absolute filth

Buckle up, crash helmets on, let's dive through... only 4 pages of content?  Guess Hawk fans aren't the most enthusiastic at the moment!

Those who are posting seem keen for a win against us 

It'll be a big challenge, the Dee's have the best midfield and the best ruck in the comp. Walking away breakeven out of the middle would be a massive win in my book.

I sense another win incoming.  If we get this, it will be the first time we've won 3 games in a row since July 2022.
Setting us up to potentially win 4 in a row (in a single season) for the first time since August 2018. (We won our last 3 in 2019 and first game in 2020)

 

Worst top 4 in my lifetime.  We’re a big chance again this week.  GO HAWKS.

 

I reckon we win this one

Response:  By plenty.

 

Get the feeling we may now play 4 talls. Interesting times.  Also reckon our midfield is keen to take this scalp on the way out.

Response: Beating 3 out of the top 4 will give a lot of confidence going into next season.

If the reports from the Box Hill game are correct and Brocky couldn't be bothered then we can't reward that behaviour with a game in the 1s just in the hope it might keep a promising player at our club especially against a team like Melbourne.

Some discussion about players and the like

Lever and May (and Gawn) are very hard to get past. We always seem to kick it straight to them.  If the game plan is to bomb long to 4 talls... we will get slaughtered.

 

We need fast, precise ball movement. Use the angles. Keep possession.

 

Ryan should come in for Lewis. We know Lewis is a no brainer..........

Lewis to play high up the ground at CHF roaming at will as lever doesn't like leaving D50 to take intercept marks so have kozi doubling back to lever when in transition. I really like to see that set up and it works best with Ryan more than Denver

Re Lewis being out for injury:  This bloke is made of tissue paper

 

Someone has been reading Demonland...

Hopefully with our new look midfield we don’t spend all game kicking it straight to Gawn. Or the dees just play Grundy as well. He seems to do a fine job nullifying Gawn just by being out there.

 

My fave (for the vocab use)

Ryan has had the flu for 5 days now. Doesn't augur well.

This is the same hope we had in 2010/11 and would never beat the hawks.

I hope we mail these bastards by 10

goals!

Not too much happening on the Hawks board, mainly focused on their own player movements

 

They don't seem to have HFCSS...

We need this scalp because it will instill enormous belief and help drive the preseason knowing we have the measure of the premiership favourites.

 

They had a brutal finals like game so we can only hope they’re a little banged up from it.

 

Let's be honest, if Dee's are serious about contending then they take care of us on Sunday

 

Pondering today how we can win this, and I can't find a way with the expected absentees. Would be happy to kick 10 goals.

 

Could be a nil all draw as Melbourne's forwardine is hardly scary

 

I’m at the stage now where I expect us to win every game lol.
Probably getting ahead of myself.
These guys tore us a new one last time, so really fascinated to see how our midfield goes this time against a very good, physical one.

 

Gawn usually smashes us around the ground and if we can't avoid kicking down the line at least provide a contest and make him earn it - some unsociable rib massages wouldn't go astray.

 

About some injury rumours for the Hawks...
Mind games. Messin’ with the Demons’ heads.

Response:  Its only fair we rest one or two of them , we want to give the Dees a punchers chance in this one.

Further response:  Heavy training block

 

My favourite

Gawn 200 games this game.  FML.

Response:  We will kick it to him 200 times to celebrate it

Further response:  Surprised WE dont name him at CHF

They still have the arrogance built up from sucessful 80s - 2010 era and a sense of entitlement that they are on a rebuild trajectory that will get them back to that place in just another few years.

I'd love to see them have another decade or two of mediocrity,  where they bobble about between 12th - 9th and then make finals a few times perhaps, but only manage to finish in the 5th - 8th range and get knocked out in elimination, semi and prelim finals without ever really getting close to a flag to give there fans a reality check on what it's like to be a real football supporter.

Their "You Melbourne supporters have become arrogant" remark is just the start of their on the outside looking in journey that they are not use to and don't like the feel of.

Sadly it looks like they're on the right track and will be a force again in the near future. However, they're gonna cop it today.

My daughter's engaged to Hawthorn supporter. I pretend to like the Hawks but I don't think I can maintain this evil lie.

It's the grandkids that matter, make sure she has them while we are still good, who cares if you feel old as a consequence, it's all about the bloodlines.

Quality of Hawks supporters near me... gee whiz they're an arrogant bunch. Started giving it to them near the end after hearing it from them for three quarters... especially aimed at Gawn and... JVR, for some reason?

They might be on the right track to be half compeditive again in a few years.

It's a big step from being able to be compeditive with good teams for a quarter to half of the season to doing it week in and week out and seriously pushing for finals.

Hope their overconfidence in how great Mitchell and 'the Hawthorn way' are sees them mired in mediocrity for years.

There a minnow at the moment 😃

I'd swap Grundy for Bruest in a heartbeat!

They've beaten 5 of the top 8 this season. I'd love them to be rubbish but I reckon they're going ok sadly.

The Dork supporters definitely match the morons from the Cats, Essendon and Pies.

Booing Max…..wtf. 
 

Entitled attitudes for a club that has fallen hard from glory…

Were they booing max?

Hawks fans and players are a very arrogant bunch for a club who will finish in the bottom 4. Again. 
Embarrassing carry on from their fans and players. 

The Hawks fan behind me booed Maxy. She reckoned Maxy was a big sook and milked frees. She carried on like a pelican the whole game. I had to bite my tongue. No point arguing with fools.
