People saying the outcome doesn't matter. We have to and should win. Regardless of other outcomes. We need to go into games against Brisbane or Collingwood with a win. A loss just gives them added mental benefit. Need to shut down the crowds early and quickly.

did they not tip melbourne in 2021? or geelong last year?

they deserve a good belting.

He's not quite soulless undertaker of the underworld ginger like Oliver or Bowey, but he's at the very least gatekeeper servent of hell ginger.

BUT *is* he the right guy?

Schache showed enough for me to know he ain't up to it. In the last he showed a fraction of the energy and run that Melksham, Jordan, Smith have shown all year. When they have come on as subs they absolutely throw themselves at it even when the ball seems lost. It's called pressure. Schache played today like a player who had already played three quarters. Except he played only one. In one particular moment he flat out stopped running on a chase... Never again, please. Regardless of other results, I'd play Fritsch next week. Needs the run. Then maybe consider him for a game for Casey during the pre-finals bye. I would also seriously consider Pickett as the sub.

Biggest callout for me wasn't even how we played. It was the support from fans. Reckon we out numbered them 3:1 but they were way louder. We didn't make noise until Petracca's goal which was the last goal of the game.

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?

Just like the Carlton game.......

Tomlinson has been good.

lol Hawks supporters around me booing that. No eyes on ball. Made contact. Most obvious free kick of the year.

He's been good but so has McVee. Melksham has gone through three Hawks defenders.

We've undoubtedly lifted this quarter but we are gifting them goals.

Someone is smoking a massive blunt outside gate 6. Smells like Bob Marley took a [censored] on the grass.

Melksham is destroying Sicily and should have 4 goals already.

Hawks are absolutely primed to win this. Look like a finals side.

Kozzie's goal. Impey ran off him and he jogged behind. Impey got the ball and set up the play. We're playing very lazy, make no mistake.

And then gets beaten by a 12 year old in a marking contest.

May, Salem, Rivers and McVee all having great games.

Really disappointing. Thought we'd jump them.

He had no where to go.

We're in first gear and Hawks are in 2nd. If they go to another it's going to get ugly. We need to take the game on more. They have nothing to lose.

I was in Las Vegas for a bucks week. It was evening there (the day before). I had mates messaging me in Australia saying "What is going on!?". No one could believe it. Scrambled to find a place to watch it and ended up at The Tropicana watching it in a very dusty, small and old sports/betting bar that by chance had it on one very small screen amongst a wall of about 50 TVs. We had been to Penn and Teller earlier that night and had effectively walked the length of the Strip after the show to find somewhere playing the game. Anyone that has been to Vegas know how long that walk is. Let's just say I had lost a lot of water weight that night. From memory there was a Carlton game playing in a few bars but looking at the fixture it must have been a replay of the Carlton Port game from the day before, playing on ESPN. Anyway we watched the entire last quarter and there were a lot of elderly Americans looking very confused at a bunch of Aussie cheering hysterically as we squinted to watch a TV effectively the size of the screen on the back of a plane seat in economy. Afterwards we walked the strip and found a very ****ty rock bar offering $30USD for unlimited drinks for 3 hours. Found out later the place had a shooting there a week earlier and so they were basically herding people in off the street with cheap drinks. All in all turned out to be a great night lol Where were YOU for Gawn's breakout game?

50k at least. My understanding is they expect 45k-55k off the back of pink lady, Gawn's 200th, and lots of free tickets given away.

Craigieburn line, Dees fans outnumber Hawks 10:1.
