I love watching the hawks, and when someone asks me who I think will win the flag I say the hawks are the best team and I reckon they'll do it. But there is absolutely no confidence in that statement.
I watched them start well but kick poorly - OK, every team does that. But they just went missing for about a quarter and a bit, and what's worse they've done it on numerous times during big games in the past few years. Geelong a few times, Sydney twice this year and GF 2012, and a few other games against good sides.
It's a game of momentum and I know that will change within a game but the hawks seem like they are the best, most potent team that i can remember - and then in the same game they switch off for a long period and get smashed all around the ground.
What the **** happens to this team? Are they too good that they just get flaky every now and again? Or is there something fundamentally wrong with their coaching/game play etc.
