Attention Hawthorn
Dont get angry because your team is starting to peak at the wrong time, I mean it must suck to sit back and watch your current mob get close but in the back of your mind you know the cats are always going to be just that bit better over the next 3 years. Then it will be too late and the next crop will come in and push us both out.
You should have tanked for one more year and traded Hodge then you could have had it all.
Poor effort, that.
Go back to your tent please.

Pfffftt!!
Weak as piss effort!
Shame though, that you can't atleast afford a rusty caravan like your upper-class geelong friends.
Q) What's the most expencive thing in geelong??
A) The '07 Premiership Cup.
You might have to sell it to support the future generations!

Note to Dawks - Premierships aren't won in April. Choked extremely hard in the finals last year to North Melbourne - couldn't handle finals pressure and cracked like the eggs they are. They will win a few more games this year; except like last year they will fall flat on their faces when the big time comes and players like Hodge crack.

Not too be too logical but Adelaide was the first final for all but 3 players in our team :rolleyes:
They got a bit ahead of themselves and just thought the kangas win would happen - Can guarantee you that that attitude wont exist come September.

GC_26 and Poida can you speak to your growing bandwagon of anti-Hawthorn trolls and get them to pick up their game? To jump on a bandwagon says something about the quality of a person, but to follow it up with this sort of tired, simplistic drivel, isn't even fit for this board.

Start talking when you actually achieve something; like a premiership. Until then you are a team that bombed out in the most recent finals to North Melbourne.

Have never been on the Geelong board, but assume they spend their time betting their dole cheques that they can out perform each other in a 'most ridiculous anti-Hawthorn post' competition.

Of course all the anti-Geelong threads started by Hawks fans are just the pinnacle of quality, aren't they? :rolleyes:
Well, maybe they were the first time they were thought up, but they don't have the same impact the third time around. Have to applaud your recycling efforts, but stick to cans, bottles and paper in future.

Not sure what boards you're looking at. There aren't too many anti-Geelong posts from Hawk supporters, as we're pretty focussed on what we have in our club. Look at the list of the anti-Tassie, anti-Buddy, anti-Hodge threads and you'll realise you have no idea what you're talking about. I guess you've been told that before though haven't you?

LMAO. Now there's a recommendation Hawks fans. This geniear5e spent months last year gleefully predicting our downfall. We all know who choked against Collingwood in last years finals don't we Braunie?
The Hawks play great footy and I hope they are 16-0 when we meet them in Round 17.

With someone of the calibre of Lance Franklin in this team - it's totally capable of doing anything, including beating Geelong when it counts later in the season.
He is just a "words cannot describe" talent. Not many players can win a game off their own boot, but he can. There is outstanding talent in Mooney, Johnson, Ablett down in Geelong - but Franklin is a once in a decade type of player, and if he fires against the Cats they will be beaten.

Franklin is a gun, no doubt. The Hawks were on fire tonight, but came perilously close to losing a shoot out against the Lions. Even if Buddy does fire the Hawks need a defensive structure that can shut out the likes of Brisbane if they're going to win the flag. Ruck depth would also help.

Tend to disagree a little bit, the Hawks seemed in control of the game for most of the second half (not sure how much of the time - % wise that Brisbane were in front during the second half, but it wouldn't of been much at all, if any). The Lions did extremely well to finish that close to the Hawks, so all credit to them for hanging in there.
Any win on the road is a worthy achievement, especially against a team that has given the Hawks' many headaches in recent seasons. Not easy to say as a Bomber supporter, but am very impressed with this group.

The Lions took it to the Hawks, it was a very entertaining match, I don't think the Lions were 'hanging in there', they attacked the game and if they make finals this year they could go quite far IMO. If they'd kicked a bit straighter late in the 4th they could've won/drawn the game.

Yeah, Blake and West are depth HAHAHA
Ottens injured, Bailey injured (I assure you, once fit, he is better than Blake and West combined)
Get a real argument.

Blake's been doing well enough filling in for Ottens. I wasn't comparing the Hawks shortfalls to any issues the Cats might have, simply an observation.
My argument incidentally was the likelihood of the Hawks C grade defense letting down their A grade forward line in matches that matter.

Actually they are. West has played 5 games now, and Blake improves nearly every game he has played this year (second for hitouts so far this year).
You spew forth garbage.

5 average games=depth. A defeat in an argument, I will shut up, but 5 average games does not warrant depth. Put ya bib on, hold on to hope, and wait.....
I would rather Rioli's 5 games of "Depth".

You can re-quote all you want! But do you hear the bronx cheer when he does anything more than a tap??? Do you remember the funny side of him kicking a goal last year. I live in geelong, and could not believe it? It made the back page. HAHAHAHA.
I have come across him, he is a nice bloke, yes NICE!!!! Intimidating? Damaging? Elite? NO!!!

I was at the same school as him. He was a smartarse that never really made any sense. Fairly run of the mill I suppose.
But anyway, getting back to football. A ruckmans main priority is rucking, yes?
It appears that he is doing that quite well at the moment. Not to mention the 3 goals he has already kicked.

Woohoo, 3 goals, book him in for the Coleman!!!
Fraser done that in one night, plus 1 more. Who cares!!
The last impression I got of him was not a smartarse. Still holding grudges from high school days are we?? Move on, and toughen the $%^& up!!! I almost have.:D

The goals he has kicked are significant considering this is effectively his second year of AFL footy.
