Hawthorn and Respect

[The Hitman]

Mike Sheahan has called us spoilt. In each of our finals, we have gone in as underdogs as opposition supporters and the media have written us off. We have taken the reigning premiers to 9 points, and were probably unlucky not to be in a Grand Final.

After round 22, I believe we lost the respect of the football world. Same after the Fremantle loss. Now we have shown the heart, courage, and determination all Hawthorn folk new we possessed, have we earnt the respect of the football world?

yeah i think you have. showed alot of courage to put up a fight early, you could see it on the players faces at half time, that they were never going to give in. i know its a prelim, and sides should never give up, but when u only have 1 scoring **** to 7, against the best (?) side in the comp, you know in the back of your mind its gonna be tough.

but to hawthorns credit, they stuck to it, and kept coming at essendon. and essendon had no answers.

i definately a hawthorn doubter at the start of the finals series. but not after watching yesterday. definately earnt respect.

which richmond lost all respect !
