MASTERPiECE

[TyHawk]

Call of the year goes to Bruce McAvaney!!

Hawks produce their Masterpiece was an awesome call at the end of the GF that will live in my memory for ever! The only commentator that gets genuinely excited about watching/calling Hawthorn games and opposition supporters know this and hate him for it! It tops his 2013 Isaac Smith goal call of ' one for the ages' IMO. Anyone else agree?

Masterpiece is always conferred retrospectively. But I'll take it until the next flag....

Our greatest flag at this point in time.

But given our propensity to win flags at a rate that annoys other supporters and delights the faithful, the next masterpieces is probably being sketched out right now.

 

[Endorphin Machine]

Nice, but I actually was pretty pumped to hear the tail of the SEN call today , with Huddo screaming "Back to Back - Mission accomplished!" .
Its something Geelong fans are going to have to wear with a lump in throat.

 

[Hawkk]

McAvaney is a bit of a campaigner but he nailed it. The call has now replaced Tim Lane's (also a campaigner) call last year as my new signature

Eleven flags since 1960 puts the Hawks the proverbial mile ahead of the pack. If we divide the Victorian history of the competition into two halves, each of approximately 58 years, Hawthorn is the undisputed powerhouse of the second epoch.

This shits me off as I had to replace my signature from last year (above) which I've grown rather fond of...

Again first world problems I guess

Late in the last quarter it occurred to me that the 2nd half was like a coronation, as opposed to a contest. Sydney were well and truly cooked and it was all about Hawthorn showing how bloody good they are.

 

[Roddy]

Love Bruce and I loved that call.

 

[Hawkk]

The other solid call was

'Take away the brown and it was a golden day in the history of a great club'

Just one of those really nice sound bites

 

[Flukey!]

Hate Bruce but gotta admit he nailed it.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Brucey hit an all time homo erotica high after hodges intercept goal.

Have another look:

"HE COULD FEEL THAT COME IN HIS HAND I RECKON!"

I think he may have said 'cup' mate

To be fair, I had a similar feeling after that intercept goal!

As much as he irritates me - at least Bruce pays our club and players the credit they are due.

Which this one was & is!....You can plan a master-piece all you like, though it almost never turns out that way!....When you get a game where all 4 of your mid-field guns are on fire simultaneously plus the newbie in Langford, then savour it; it rarely happens. When it happens to take place on the one day that matters, then thats pure Gold!

Bruce Nailed it!

Yeah he does get carried away with the feats of other teams while we are giving them a bath but I think he is just trying to keep the neutrals interested in something other than our greatness

 

[Dilligaf]

The bit he said - "Never have they been as good as they have been today"
Not sure if that is true - but I have been a member for 18 years and I think from my perspective I would agree.
There are several words that could be used - all of them almost understatements. emphatic, decisive demolishing, relentless, focused etc etc

 

[Kil Phearns]

I liked Huddo's "Nobody, or no Buddy, was going to stop them!!!" call.
