I don't see a big problem:

1. We are all Hawk supporters
2. We hate all the other teams and they hate us
3. We also hate the AFL, they don't give us any gifts

Therefore, we get reactions and over reactions.

Let's keep up the hate for all these bastards.

Well said.

There is nothing wrong with a healthy hatred for other teams and the powers that be. It's the fact we have won two premierships in a row that makes any "woe is us" claims a little sad. HOWEVER!! It must be pointed out that we may have won these two consecutive premierships despite a tougher draw, every score review going against us regardless of evidence, 5 points per goal, being made wear sacks of flour in matches, having thinner goals at our end, etc etc... thanks afl for allowing us to look even more awesome that we would have on a level playing field. What are we complaining about?

I guess sprouting this paranoid nonsense on a forum is a lot cheaper than paying for a psychiatrist. Unfortunately you won't find the prescription you so obviously need here.
Granted guys I did go a bit over the top the other day & I too should just appreciate that people have differing opinions on this matter. If I was out of line in any way to some in here I apologize.
I've got strong character so this above comment doesn't affect me but to say that in these days of people with mental health problems was very very poor form!

We just won one of our greatest ever flags and are back2back champions and we have the need to make threads like this.

My opinion on this highly differs from the OP but I'm not going to shoot you down for it as it's your opinion and people have already said what I would have said about it. Only thing I'll say is the AFL know we're strong and already a power. They want other clubs to become stronger especially interstate ones to spread their dominance as a code to all areas of Oz. They don't hate Hawthorn and they don't try and deliberately disadvantage us (2012 gf issue with the lesser day hurts but they had a big issue with the other code using that ground. It sucks and it should have been our advantage but it's not as if they scheduled it like that because they could). It's a compliment to our great club that they don't need to worry about us and they hope other sides can rise up to our levels of greatness.

Even if their was some sort of conspiracy/hatred of the HFC then why should we care. We have won 2 premierships in a row and solidified ourselves as the greatest club there is atm and the past 50 or so years. Let's just enjoy this and enjoy this off season being the champs. Let's leave these threads and keep the positive and celebratory threads as well as the previews to next year at the top of this forum. Never been a better time to be a hawks supporter than right now (well that's probably a lie. The 80's would have been pretty amazing). Let's enjoy it as much as we can.

This kind of comment reminds of Swans posters on the main board pre this years Grand Final result & subsequent trade embargo....When ever another poster would bring up Cola, or Tippett/Buddy, or their favorable draw both in 2014 & 2012; their stock-standard come-back was whinge this, whine that!....Well guess who is whining & whingeing ad nauseum now?....They are!
So we agree that they look like petty idiots. That is good. I would now just encourage you to remind yourself how dumb they sound next time you feel the need to whine and whinge yourself.

As Mark Twain said.... "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

Way to mis-interpret a point entirely there seysearls....The gist of my premise there was: That to brand any negative comments or criticism as 'Whining or whingeing' is as absurd as pre-school name-calling in the attempts to silence contrary opinions which question the status quo!

The saddest part of all this is, that your posts are the principal culprit on the Hawthorn board which mimic those of said $wines supporters on the main board!

So the Morale: Take your Twain Quote & have a good dash of it in the mirror mate!
