A club that won 3 flags with the last in 2015, then got rid of the most successful coach in the modern era, let go of a bunch of star players, went to the bottom, then came all the way back up to competing at the pointy end?
Hawks are the opposite of a nowhere club. They're always on the move, hunting their next flag. Its why they're so successful.
Please don't give that club too much credit.
1. They benefitted from being 'good' when expansion clubs were raiding the drafts
2. They didn't earn the right nor deserve to host the 2014 and 2015 grand finals (Sydney and West Coast respectively earned the right - it wouldn't be a stretch to suggest Hawthorn would have lost both games had they played on foreign turf)
3. They didn't earn the right nor deserve to compete in the 2014 and 2015 grand finals (umpiring got them over the line in both the 2014 and 2015 preliminary finals - the umpiring in the 2015 prelim is the most blatant display of game changing intervention in any sport I have ever witnessed)
Go Port on Sunday, smash them.
