Given 12 years includes a lost prelim and a lost grand final, I'd say all the luck has gone one way in the two most important games over that period (which isn't to say your QF wins were not important, but obviously GF and Prelim out-trumps them).

Over standing..will put the pipe down immediately
Sorry, assumed in a thread about Hawthorn vs Geelong you were talking about Hawks fans complaining about bad luck in losses against Geelong over the years. Didn't help that the guy you were quoting is on my ignore list, so didn't get your quoted context either.

The Hawk fans who jumped on their bandwagon have moved onto Richmonds
66,000 is a poor crowd now? With the whole south-eastern suburbs rail network totally up poo creek?
Good game to watch yesterday.
Not so sure about Clarko appearing on the big screen pre game asking us all to be respectful supporters though. Have me a laugh. And what was with Michael Tuck whinging about the umpiring from a game over two weeks ago? Get over it mate!!!

I wonder if that explains the booing against Ablett?
Hawks fans take a lot to get worked up as a group, but we definitely hold a grudge and don't like being told what to do/think by the media/AFL.
Second only to Carlton when it comes to how sensitive they are re perceived umpiring persecution in my experience.
To be fair, there was no abuse from the crowd during the little league, so perhaps the "do as I say, not as I do" approach from Al is effective.
Was a good game and frankly the result most expected given Hawthorn's outs.

Frawley - at least by foot anyway...
Indeed several ales will do that! ha ha .
You couldn't remember back that far. I'm sure the cats were all running around in their jockstraps by the end of the game?
Had to be?
Aaaaaah Damn statistics!
Got to say, as I have been, for many years on BF , the free kick calling and set up is terrible in our game now.
Not just for Hawthorn and of course Dangermouse , who gets his frees regularly. heh heh!
But seriously Hawks v Geelong I saw a stack of dodgys', and for both sides, but with the free kick and the scores from them, something needs to be changed back to some sense.
I thought the frees were reasonably even in number terms , not sure, but you are right , there were some confusing ones we got, but you'd have to admit the fifty for Dalhaus first quarter when he went to handball the Hawk on the mark run away from his mark and O'Meara jumped onto the mark , got fifty, now under the rules perhaps that was there?
But under common sense , and fairness, what on earth do you get a fifty mtr penalty, for trying to defend.
When a opposition player looks to play on????
Hence my ravings about some of the goals scored from free kicks, Dalhaus probably would have kicked it anyway.
Geelong had in meritorious play, got the ball too him, fine, why does the defending, create a 50m? T
hat is not what they were meant for?
The first thing into my head, first Goal Geelong gets , a free fifty right in front.
Its not about Geelong or Hawthorn , its about our game? And its everywhere!
He is a fantastic player!

Why people still bother to respond to that troll is beyond me. He actually needs help for his unhealthy hatred.
On another note, not much credit is being given to O'Connor. He is now a fantastic footballer and hasn't been beaten this year. He done a number on Breust which is no easy feat. Got coaches votes too and will keep improving. I heard Scarlo say that the next step in his development is to teach and let him take the game on a bit more. We've seen he's more than capable of run and carry in the VFL so I reckon he's going to turn into a well rounded player.
Him and Miers are our most improved and a big reason we're on the top of the table. Our bottom 6 is what's let us down in previous years but that gap has closed dramatically.

I think the 23 point margin was impressive given our outs.

Both Geelong and Hawthorn had 9 players with under 50 games experience. We've played the entire season with 10. Constable was rested.
The injury excuse is lame.
