Hawthorn's dominance over Collingwood

[Crazy John]

12 years is a long time.

This is the head to head between the Hawks and Pies from 2007 to 2018:

Hawthorn - 16
Collingwood - 4

Both sides have had their ups and downs over that time, yet Hawthorn continue to put the Pies away.

Why is that?

A dog has to be reminded who it's master is. They are our bitches!

 

[Rioli magic]

Must be a curse or some such s**t.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

We have better players. We work better as a team. It's simple.

 

[Great 2008]

OP hope these type of threads may long continue.

 

[Hodginator]

We have better players. We work better as a team. It's simple.

Was going to say pretty much the same thing. Nothing to do with a mental hold over them or any jibberish. It sounds cocky but we just match up well on them and are the better side and know how to expose their weaknesses.

 

[Kil Phearns]

It's weird. Last time they beat us was 2011 PF - and even then we threw it away in the last quarter.

Just hope it isn't the reverse of the Geelong thing, and the next time they beat us isn't in a PF again, or worse still a GF...

 

[Wandering Hawk]

Why have the Pies so dominated us for our first 45 years?

Same answer.

 

[TyHawk]

I don't see it as a mystery at all! They are not Top 4 and we are. They and the Media overrate them enormously yet Hawthorn are deeper in all facets of the ground so it's no mystery as I said.

 

[Roddy]

It's the umpires, always the umpires, they scam the Pies and give the Hawks an absolute armchair ride, every single time. In every single one of those 11 games.

Umpires! I knew it was them! Even when it was the bears, I knew it was them.

Yes, the preliminary final from 2011 curse where hodgey pledged "we'll never lose to those robbers again as long as I'm wearing a Hawthorn guernsey"

 

[MightyHawks86]

I think we gel better as a team. We can cut them apart and expose their weaknesses, Collingwood's major ball-magnets still gather a ton of possessions, but do little with them against us.

The old saying: A champion team trumps a team of champions.

sorry, but they are not a team of champions, a few yes, the rest, spuds

Don't forget all the cheap goals we score.

It's just not fair, really.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

They struggle to contain our forwards. Simple answer.

 

[B&GBlood]

They struggle to contain our forwards. Simple answer.

And resort to sending their middfield back to help out, thus robbing peter to pay paul.

 

[Bonscott1980]

Because we pay the umps more,according to the collingwood board

 

[macdaddio]

We were dominant over the cats at one stage look what happens now

 

[Todman]

Between 1925 and 1969 Hawthorn won only 11 out of 76 meetings between the two sides.
Between 1970 and 1989 Hawthorn won 26 to Collingwood 16
Between 1990 and 2014 Hawthorn won 25 to Collingwood 15

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Pies rely heavily on their midfield whereas the Hawks' talent is spread more evenly around the ground.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Between 1925 and 1969 Hawthorn won only 11 out of 76 meetings between the two sides.

Didn't defeat them at all until 1960.

 

[Todman]

Didn't defeat them at all until 1960.

No, didn't defeat them at Victoria Park until 1960. Peck kicked a goal on the siren

 

[PenAndPaper]

Their small defenders are s**t and our small forwards are the best in the comp
