Great win Hawks, never gave up unlike some of our fair weather supporters in the last qtr.
A win we needed to keep the gap between us & the chasing pack.
Fantastic result for the 2 debutantes.
The coaches have heaps to address after they review the replay but all in all we gotta be happy with the win.
We love our club

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Those who couldn’t wait to sink slippers into Chol - he kicked 42.18 last year which is a goal accuracy a lot of forwards would kill for. Not his best work today but doesn’t diminish how important he is for our forward line - he’s not the first forward to miss some sitters and won’t be the last.

 

[Wile E Coyote]

My god Ginni was prolific! Amazing work all over the ground!

 

[Viddiot]

Hawthorn, you magnificent bastards!!
Work all day, came home to this news! Stoked!
Have a beer!!

“I won’t be throwing shade after my final quarter performance.”

Newcombe mate you’ve carried us in so many games including finals. We forgive you.

The sign of a great leader, that Newk owned his last quarter shocker.
You are 100% correct Newk has been a superstar ever since he came to the club.

If they ever bring in neutral umpires to Easter Monday, Geelong are in trouble.

They should try it once, would be interesting to see.

 

[cyrilicious]

my gosh heart rate still over 100 lol so pumped for this winnnnn!!!!

 

[MinerBoy]

Jesus. Thought we’d blown it.

Now to watch the wrap up shows with the classic combo

 

[KOLOKOTRONIS]

We deserved to win.
Squandered many chances and should have been in front by much more.

Mitch Lewis stood up.
Watson, was his game to shine and made it happen.
Weddle strong in the third after a quiet first half. If weddle can get four quarters as the season grinds on, we go very very deep into the finals.

The Geelong hurdle is over now. This group will continue to beat them.

You guys wanted it more at the death. Congrats!

Gunston had 7 scoring shots. The most of any player on the ground. He was the difference. What a club legend.

14 disposals - 6 marks - (5 marks inside 50) - 3 goals - 4 behinds

12 disposals, 6 marks and 5 scoring shots for a Key forward is an excellent return. If it was 3.2 instead of 2.3 he probably gets some B&F votes IMO.

 

[Bedi]

All frustrations aside (looking at you umpires!), the grit and determination of this side to get the job done in the dying minutes was one for the ages

 

[JoeHawk]

I’ll take a win against Geelong any way I can get it but jeez we made that a lot harder than it needed to be.

Who cares. Lost count how many times those campaigners have won a tight one against us.

 

[Wingnut19]

How’s Reeves taps to Croc and Jai. I’ll have to watch that again. Those cheating pricks!

 

[Malik90]

5. Franklin - 580 goals
6. Roughead - 578 goals
7. Breust - 553 goals
8. Gunston - 528 goals

AFL app doesn't list Ginnivan as one of our best. Mind boggling.

I just cannot fathom why he chose to go around the corner with that one. He kicks a great straight drop punt and should have backed himself.

Jars.

The importance of that win is not far behind the 2013 PF.

Hes deadset got the goalkicking yips at the moment. Not just this game, he's been erratic all season and you can see it in his eyes when he's lining up for goal.

His goalkicking at the moment is either silky smooth straight through the middle followed by an absolute shank.

I feel like his ball drop must be slightly off, he seems to have a small margin of error with his action.

On the plus side he his marking it quite strongly at the moment, hopefully he can sort out his goalkicking ASAP.

 

[Argy]

Thought Lewis stood up bloody well when Gunners left the ground and he became more of the focus.

Half back of the century

 

[JoeHawk]

Looks like we won every stat. Except one. Yep, free kicks 13 - 24 in favour of Cats. Probably the most appalling one sided umpiring I have ever seen. The only question remaining about this game is which umpire got the 3 Brownlow votes.

Nothing new. And all those freekickhawthorn people can stick it where the sun don’t shine.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Joey mognanga always looks so sour when we win
