Win easily or win a close one

[play on]

Would you rather win a game of footy your side is involved in by a huge margin, or would you rather win a close game. Myself, I would rather see the pies bury the opposition. I hate close games, and love to see my side give the opposition a hiding.

Can't stomach close games. Love it when the Roos hand out thrashings, though.

 

[Roylion]

I agree. Better for my heart and blood pressure to see the Lions belt the opposition. Oh and the percentage boost is handy also.

 

[Fat Red]

It depends a bit. Probably for most home-and-away games I'd prefer a good thrashing. But to win an important game by a small margin gives me the greates thrill.

The 99 prelim siren was I think the most euphoric feeling of my life; well, nearly

Better than the premierships in terms of excitement and joy, although they gave more lasting satisfaction!

I agree with George Harris: What's better than beating Collingwood by 100 points? Beating them by 1 point.

 

[BomberGal]

I can't handle the close ones. I love absolutely annihalating (sp?) teams, giving that sense of power. Although, it would be nice to beat Carlton by a point after the siren in a Grand Final, but I don't think I'd still be alive by then. I probably would have killed myself! If my blood pressure and heart rate hadn't already done that to me!

Agree with Fat Red when he says the close wins can be the most memorable...ie our win over Carlton this year, the win against North and the win over Melbourne in the merger match.

But seeing as Hawthorn have had so many thrillers this year I wouldn't mind seeing us thrash a couple more teams. Nothing more enjoyable than watching the opposition supporters leaving at 3 quarter time because the game is already over!!!
