Yep, vitally important game to our modern history, but 2007 falls outside the 2010-2019 criteria when I went to school....I can’t believe the most important game to me isn’t even in the list.
2007 finals against the Crows.
Its where it all started.
That’s it in a nutshell.Most important - 2013 prelim
Best win and performance - 2014 GF
only in front of goal, in general play were we're pretty dominant.Not just the one game.
We were a car crash in the 2012 Prelim too, but stole it late.
Maybe I should have gone to school more oftenYep, vitally important game to our modern history, but 2007 falls outside the 2010-2019 criteria when I went to school....
At the end of this game, I remember thinking this was one of our best H&A wins we have had. Massive testament to the threepeat side and their ability to come back from nowhere.And sticking with the 2014 theme, you had the 10 unanswered goal game against Geelong in round 22. A 56 point turnaround after having been down by 33 - ten minutes into the 3rd quarter.

I was right behind the Bud goal as it went through, I actually put my shoulder out when I jumped up thrusting my fist to the sky as it did.Maybe I should have gone to school more often
still a freaking crazy game
You'd be wrong, at least in my case. When the final siren sounded in that Prelim, the fact we'd made another GF was almost an afterthought. As I said to my brothers at the time, we'd "slayed the dragon". Was I happy we went onto win the following week? Of course! But if we'd lost in the GF, it wouldn't have taken the lustre off THAT win against Geelong.Would you all be saying the '13 PF was the best game if we had have lost the following? I think not.

Even Ross Lyon was impressed by us that night. I still remember his smile after Cyril took a mark hit the hound spun around and licked a goal. Pure wtfThat was an incredible game. The first half was almost football perfection.
Dixie Flatline how could forget the 2010 game where Budwah kicked not 1 but 2 of the best goals you will ever see!?
One of the best nights of footy, that.
Final home and away game of 2012What was the game were Sewell kicked the winner in the last minute against the Swans in Sydney?
That was a great game as we were down by 6 or 7 goals at qtr time.
We can all nominate any game we like but you have to be kidding yourself if that 2013 prelim isn't on top.
Best night at the 'G' I have ever experienced.
2008 finals series
Not a game but a brownlow season.
Hank Bulger AKA Shane Crawford.
just had a memory today today of pre season 1999. Family day jumper presentation at glenferrie. Was a good day but when shane hobbled onto the stage to Get his jumper, (looked very proppy) the crowd was understandably subdued. we cheered him anyway.
Turned out to be not much at all red hot favourite for the brownlow (leading most media rankings) and a rare bit of silver for a club trying to get out of a hole
Most 'experts' were saying Sydney were the best scoring side with the billion dollar forward line and talking about us like we were a workmanlike side with an average forward line. We were the highest scoring side all year and had the Swans by about 60 goals over the course of the season. Why they focused on their forward line was beyond me. Sometimes a good story can get in the way of pretty simple maths. I suppose they smashed North in the Prelim and we scraped in against Port, maybe that swayed them.
Just watched the whole game with triple m commentary and I must say I was disappointed! It was all about how the swans didn’t come to play with a few ‘ obvious’ comments about some of star players playing well! Contrary to popular belief, the hawks did NOT come out of the blocks smashing swans on the scoreboard, in fact the swans were doing just fine for the first 15 minutes of the game! Then? WHOOSKA!! Good bye ! Our ball movement was second to none those years!You just can't score against Sydney............ unless you're Hawthorn.
Haha Pess, read the thread title
Are you talking Grand Finals? Like in 1983 when the Hawks won by 83 points and 1988 when the Hawks won by 96 points? If they don't constitute a smashing, what does? Is 53 points in 1991 mediocre therefore? Or 42 points in 1986?On 2014-2015 grand finals. you need to go back to the sixties to have a team smash the opponents comprehensively. Hawks of the eighties didnt, brisbane didnt
