pondering the view from Tartarus
AFL Club
Geelong
Picture this, a clear blue sky
So far from winter's storm
Away from last years finals too
and the bow-out they still mourn
See the Hawk that swoops and rears
and flies tireless all summer
But wait till hunting season nears
and then it's, 'What a bummer!'

For ever since the Batmobile,
they haven't lined the nest
A strand or two, just two night cups
is what their cabinet will attest
But they've got stars, yeah they've got champs
that did the summertime hard yardage
Yet sit and wait a spell, you'll see
the Hawks still play like garbage

A smattering of brilliant play
but just a little bit
For you see these Hawks are merely flies
their playbook's fresh-laid shit
They buzz and buzz and cluster round
while Clarkson gives the word
They'll maybe scrape some way to win
but too often find a t*rd

But Clarkson's got the knack of
somehow treading water
Cast thy mind back to the days of Schwab
and of never-ending slaughter
One preseason they asked for Premiers
and Schwabby took a bow
Back then they were a laughing stock
much more than they are now

It didn't matter who they played
they copped a bloody hiding
The Tiges, the Dees and Blues all drove
that hearse the Hawks were riding
When Schwabby made that fateful call
we knew of Hawthorn's 'class'
it served to hold a world in thrall
to see a man speak through his arse

Now further back in days and years
to head coach Kenny Judge
A man at least as used to loss
as Molly Meldrum, packing fudge
He went on to coach the Eagles
and shredded that proud club as well
but still they didn't take four years
to tell him 'Go to Hell!'

Rolling back the years still more
we land at Peter Knights
his tenure at... ngh, um... snore
z..z...z
...
...

Well bugger me, I'm f*cking bored
writing Hawthorn poetry's a bitch
It's time to dig ourselves a shallow grave
and lay a body in the ditch
So climb aboard the Hawthorn hearse
pull out that weathered coffin
Don't you get so worried now
they die like this quite often!

Let's lift the lid and take a peek
a quick one there, quite cursory
now let's just nail this bastard shut
for the the Hawker's 6000 anniversary!
Yes six thousand days, it's oh so long
since Hawthorn's last day Cup
You'd think that such a record would ensure
that they'd humbly just shut up!

But yap yap yap they do go on
like this poem but only worse
So now I fear I must go on
and write my final verse

So dear Bigfooty Hawthorn fans,
they who mediocrity don't faze
from us to you (in piss and poo)
wishing ANOTHER 6000 fun-filled days!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HAWTHORN!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: An Ode to Hawthorn's 'Noble Six Thousand'

Who are the noble 6000?

Because they certainly don't have that many supporters
 
Re: An Ode to Hawthorn's 'Noble Six Thousand'

:confused: Membership tally says differently.. your troll was bad.
Oh please who are you kidding, your club has been diddling those numbers for years.. get more than 3 people to one of your games then we'll talk

You wouldn't be going to Tassie if you had any real support

Yawn.

Who made the most money last year, who has the best facilities and who can actually win modern day premierships?

The Collingwood Football Club is a sham. You left your suburb - because its a hole, and have alienated your grass roots supporters - ie. rougheaded no hopers that have more noticable deformities than teeth, and became the 'Coporate Pies'...and then your President has the audacity to talk about the Magpies 'Grand old Tradition' that will never be erroded.

Dermott was spot on when he said that 'most Collingwood supporters couldn't afford to be in a Lexus car yard let alone drive one'

Your club is the definition of a joke.

3.6m > 2.1m
Waverley Park > The Glasshouse (at least we've won a flag at Waverley FFS)
5 Premierships > 1 Premiership since 1982

Ignorance is bliss
Yeah right.. 14 flags to pfft who knows, who cares

We have more money than god and are not being forced to Tasmania

We hold the all time attendance record for a season, a final, a home and away game and a grand final

:rolleyes:
 
Re: An Ode to Hawthorn's 'Noble Six Thousand'

Does anyone give a shit about who won in 1911, 1920 or whatever?

Perhaps we should wheel out ole Nuts and Dick every year and parade them around during Grand Final week...FWIW Preston North were once a good football side as well

We have more money than god and are not being forced to Tasmania

No on both counts.

FFS, compared to most clubs at the highest level of World Sport Collingwood are a minnow. FFS, I'd love to see Collingwood finance a 60-70,000 seat stadium filled 95% with season ticketholders YEAR IN YEAR OUT.

We hold the all time attendance record for a season

It's amazing how far a doctored draw can take you, FFS your achievement is nothing as long as the draw is continually doctored to favour some clubs over others. FWIW, Richmond drew over a 1,000,000 people to a season when the competition wasn't crowd driven...now that's impressive.

grand final
:rolleyes:

121,696 Collingwood v Carlton M.C.G. 1970
119,165 Richmond v Carlton M.C.G. 1969
118,192 St Kilda v Hawthorn M.C.G. 1971

Wow, just wow. I'm sure it was the sheer mass of Collingwood supporters that drew the extra 2-3000 more to their grand final then the year before and following it :rolleyes:

6364 days since Collingwood last won a Premiership :rolleyes:

When they talk about the BIG 3... they aren't talking about the Kangaroos, Bulldogs and Hawks :p

One club has won 18 premierships and made 30 GF's - day and night, over the last 40 odd years...what's your point?

Yeah try counting the premierships that matter, you'll find why we are one of the big 3 and your mob are just superpower wannabes that will end up the Tassie Hawks
