We will probably end up with no official AA but this team has a bunch of players thereabouts

Gunston Ginni Impey Amon Battle have all been elite in their positions and once again were tonight
Will be disappointed if meek doesnt make it.
By far the best ruck this year, has had only one down game (vs adelaide) where it was still bloody even

Love Meek but he's definitely behind Gawn, Xerri, Grundy and Jackson at a bare minimum.
 
There were some serious overreactions on this board after losing to Adelaide, in Adelaide, and Will Day's season-ending injury.
Well... tonight was a clear example that our best is still capable of beating any team, anywhere. As long as we continue to bring that type of pressure and intensity, we will be a serious threat come September.

Also, just quietly, the 4 tall forwards isn't as disastrous as some were saying.
 
Josh Ward needs more love in this thread.

Unheralded but played that link role beautifully. So often he was on the end of a handball chain that started in D50 and had the running power to help move the ball I50.

I made sure I had my lucky hawthorn socks on. They worked. I will wear them until the grand final.
I’ll be wearing my Hawthorn undies until the granny.
Yellow at the front and brown at the back.

As expected, Hardwick blanketed the only forward danger they had (as he has always done)

And their lack of leg speed was very apparent and the Daicos boys just went

Great team effort overall and simply dictated terms all game. If anything, we butchered too many opportunities for some more goals.

Did we hear from Daicos Snr tonight? Pretty outspoken earlier in the year he was. How about you just STFU

Jai was simply awesome tonight. Welcome back.
Meek was dominant
Wizz got us going
Sicily was assured in the air and with his kicking
Massimo was good again.

We could finish in the top 4 after all
 
Now that's more like the Hawks vs Pies matches that we're used to!

It's being greedy, but extending our lead each quarter was really pleasing, given how tight percentages could well be at the end of the home and away season. Wasn't in a million years hoping for anything other than the four points, given the ramifications, but wow, what a ripper start to this round of footy.

Watching Impey with his constant runs through the middle, weaving in and out of traffic, was sublime.

The crowd seemed a little light-on, but perhaps that's Thursday night footy for ya.

Go Hawks!

Can't believe the club tried to pull the wool over our eyes and tell us he wasn't injured.

He's a deadset top 10 player of the comp when fully fit. Completely changes our side.
To be fair, Mitchell only said "his groins are fine". Turned out the injury was a bit higher up...
 
Just got back from the game, what an exhilarating win! Even better, when you’ve got the day off tomorrow. We’ve seen glimpses all year, but for the first time we played a four quarter game against a good side.

This team is going to be scarily good at full strength with hopefully another top tier midfielder coming in over the off-season.

Hopefully we get the job done against the Dees next week to take the pressure off.

Go Hawks!

We could potentially finish above Collingwood if we beat the Lions and they lose badly to the Crows...
