Seems to be just you that disagrees.
Since when has a journalist ever been right? I rest my case. Hawthorn were lucky to come away with a win with a meek, pathetic and lacklustre display. Sure they can play some good footy when they beat Essendon, Carlton etc but when they come up against decent teams Clarkson reverts to his "**** we are going to get pummeled" tactic which is flood 4 guys infront of their key forward.

Yeah, everyone is wrong except for you. You're not the world's greatest football analyst so you might need to get over yourself a bit.
I'm not saying that we'll win the flag, but our style is not too dissimilar to Port when they won the flag in 04.
And we also played some good footy when we beat decent sides Geelong, WCE and Port at AAMI, all without flooding, but with hard running and good skills.
I rest MY case.

I never said that they were. Geelong - I watched that match and it was a flood athon. WCE I didn't because I was out and the Port match was another floodathon. Its also no coincidence that Hawthorn are the common denominator in the worst 3 games of the season.

Win at any cost. And it seems to be working for them. Second Brades, Second. After 19 rounds no less.

You just dont get it. I never said they shouldnt win at all cost. Look Back Flank stop trying to taunt me and things like that, it wont work as I know I am so much better than you. Go back to crying over your team for the next 30 years before they win a final.

Completely true IF they can hold this form they will be competitive come September.

You are honestly starting to remind me of the power house Hawthorn sides of the 80's an absolute dominant force over many, many years.
True but as you say they need to take us out first and Hawthorns style of play will be crushed under ours MWAHAHAHAHA *Ahem*.

One eyed or not you're one of the few people on these boards who are close to balanced. No-one except Brades thinks you played badly and lets face it he's not one of the few.

You may rest your case now but it's far from being won you beat Geelong BEFOREthey were playing as well as they are now by flooding. Although flooding cannot be complained about Geelong are a much more in form side and it'll take injuries to stop us now.

B) Oh really? So why did we belt them?

Belt us? You beat us by 16 points, and that's after we handed the game back to you, and it was in Perth.
