Hawthorn also had close prelims.As good as the Cats were, they were also gettable.
2007 - Beat us by 5 points in The Prelim
2008 - Rolled
2009 - Sainters did get the jitters in that opening half. 7.7 at half time to 7.1. All to play for with a minute to go.
2010 - We Humiliated them.
2011 - An amazing side. Hawks, Eagles, Us, all got destroyed. Levels above.
Adelaide, Port and us in prelims by less than a kick so your 2007 argument doesn’t really stand up.
Port in the 2014 prelim literally had 10 more shots on goal than Hawthorn.
