I'll say it once again Hodge >>>>> Ablett

Go on say it.......................................................... Don't type it...

Geelong fans won't like this one bit. Tom Harley saying they are on par with them must have cut deep.

They are a good chance at doing three in a row IMO.

If Lake retires it will be a lot tougher next year though, he is so valuable to that back line.

I love how the players have to give the kids hats now, before that the kids were often brushed off by players after the medal.

Epic failure by Sydney I wonder who they're going to go out and buy this year Frawley.

 

[JasRulz63]

Love Spangher getting the loudest cheer.

So Sydney proves you CANT just buy a premiership.

But boy, can you get close!

So Sydney proves you CANT just buy a premiership.

They've got 8 more seasons to prove they can.

Just come on to say that.
Yep money can't buy premierships

Well done Hawks.!!!

 

[Bucking Beads]

Unreal display from the Hawks. Destroyed them. No doubt in my mind the Hawks are a better team without Buddy.

 

[John]

Carrying on about the Swans is unfair on the Hawks. 2 in. row makes them a wonderful team.

 

[iBeng]

Winning in 2008 and now in 2014 means for 6 years, excluding 2009, they've been a finals threat. 3 Grand final wins in that period, and it doesnt look likely to end either.

Amazing really.

 

[Crawb]

Lets hope it's not Back to Back to Back!

 

[MacMum]

Lets hope it's not Back to Back to Back!

Apart from not liking Hawks anyway, that is the main reason I didn't want them to win today.

 

[Football Pope]

They've got 8 more seasons to prove they can.

You expecting Buddy to sit out a season?

 

[Apex61]

We might need Port Power to win the flag next year to stop the 3 peat!

I feel so dirty.

I was on the Swans bandwagon until yesterday until amazingly I read a Jon zralph article where he ranked the players from 1-44. The bottom 6 were all swans and I suppose that highlighted a few things, 1. Just how even Hawthorn were and 2. That the Swans as a collective were nowhere near as strong as they had been purported to be. Possibly Jon Ralph's best ever work.

 

[Davemonkey]

Two years in a row, when it counted, the best offensive team beat the best defensive team. Who says footy is all boring?

Just need 17 other coaches to figure it out.

Not a great stretch to be truthful.

 

[alscotoz2]

Getting a strong urge to strangle Bruce here.

Yes! Him and his ****ing stats. e.g. Roughead has just become the first player in AFL GF history to kick 5 goals AND have eight letters in his surname. Drives me nuts.

 

[Football Pope]

After today, Sydney will be out searching for a mobile ruck that can also play either end of the ground.....is there one available?

 

[Betty Noir]

I remember them winning their 2nd... now they have 12? (That's 11 since 1971... one every 4 years. amiright??)

 

[Crawb]

Was it me or was that the most pissweak & underwhelming performances in a Grand Final by the clear favourite ever?
