Hawthorn actually had a less experienced side today, 99 games avg vs 101.5. Also they were only 5 months older on average.
There is one major discrepancy you're not accounting for. All of the North players out there were wearing North Melbourne jumpers whilst none of the Hawthorn players were wearing it.
 
Must be nice being a ball winning mid.

Get smacked around the clearances, flogged around stoppage spread, put 0 pressure on ball entries which turns the opponents mid range level forwards into superstars, but pick up 29 odd touches and the commentators, media & fans reckon you’ve done well.

As an eagle's fan I'm sure you've noticed that most higher placed teams thump lower placed teams.
Some teams just have a habit of thumping teams by more, especially certain teams, despite how they are going. Hawks, Blues, Bulldogs, Swans tend to do that to us by 60+, often 80+, whereas for some reason the Lions and Pies haven't thrashed us by 60+ the past few seasons. Many surprisingly close, with us even pinching that 2022 game against Coll. Pies in general dont do that much, I think you'll find the Bulldogs easily have the most very big wins, yet struggle against other top i sides. Thats why theyre flat trackers.
 
Reckon North fans shouldn't take too much outta this. Almost beat Freo and beat Blues last week and it would've taken a lot energy out of the youth whereas Hawks were rested from a bye.

These sorta games will happen but it's more the frequency of it that matters.

Hawks were smashed 8 times in 2023. 8 times.

At this point North have gotta be closer to the other side of the ledger when it comes to being smashed regularly compared to when it all began. Think judge them based at year's end and how they start next season to get a better picture in terms of the future.
 
Check my bias?

He quite literally hit Ramsden up the middle while he had his arms out-stretched for the mark. So much so, Ramsden ended up getting spun completely.

It was a clear front on contact in a marking contest.


Yes, check your bias. You’ve been around a while by the looks, if ONLY the fans of the team on the receiving end of a free are happy with it, and EVERYONE else (being 7-8 fans of different sides) thinks it’s a horrible call, what does that imply to you?

Implies that you love to deflect from a 85 point drubbing from a side you should be ahead of in your rebuild
 
They're salty about Watson constantly, it's quite funny. I've noticed they've shut up about Newcombe for a minute. Mr Meow is MIA for said reason.
I loved Newcombe's game - this is the level he can play at - and think he's an excellent player. With North putting up the white flag my attention meandered. Suitably moronic snipe by you though.

"Why isn't my best friend Meow in here to praise a Hawthorn player? :( "

Not really. Maybe your can fool others, but not me.
 
You're being very precious again today. Imagine watching Hawthorn have a great win and screeching "where is that Geelong supporter who said Holmes and Smith have had better seasons than Newcombe?".

Utterly pathetic.

Not really... But your melts are funny 😂

I am under no illusions about that performance, don’t worry. It has nothing to do with the incident in discussion.

“Everyone else”…. You mean the same plebs that are in here every week squealing ‘freekick hawthorn’.

It was a clear and obvious free kick.

Whatever you say mate. I guess that’s why the closest umpire didn’t even pay it and fans of neither side were all in agreement that it was a bad call. But you’re right 👍

Embarrassingly biased mods are always the most fun.
 
good to see the Hawks really put them to the sword.
I real back to earth defeat for the roos.
Great to see Gunston keep on keeping on with a bag of 7.
