Autopsy 2024 Second elimination final : Hawks roll the dogs

[SammyC]

i love this football club in a way that’s unhealthy.

the skipper was outstanding. We wore them down and ran away with it - i couldnt be more proud.

i was borderline tears in the
3rd qtr when we rammed it home.

Jai Newcombe was excellent who was the last player to have 11+ disposals, 5+ marks and kick a goal in a quarter of a final.?

Always the issue with the Dogs - Bont has to play at elete levels or else they're just an ordinary team.


Go Hawks!!

 

[StillAtLarge]

ABC votes 1 Meek, 2 Sicily, 3 Newcombe. Pretty fair.

I had Scrimshaw bog by a mile but what do I know

 

[TazHawk15]

As a 40+ year member I am super proud of the boys.
Shout out to Newk, Sic, Scrimmers and a kid that is going to be a superstar in Calsher

 

[Argy]

Is there room for Day?

 

[hardway]

Hi Ken, see you Friday night! And yes now we have that team experience you were worried about.

[Off The Couch]

How good is this

Sam Mitchell take a bow

 

[The Seaword]

Does winning an elimination final count as a form of tanking?

Yes Caro

 

[grumbleguts]

Kudos to the Bulldogs supporters that have come in here. Good grace and dignity.

But where are the ones that trolled the crap out of the preview thread?

 

[seysearles]

Where is that Bulldogs douchebag that was posting on this forum all week?

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Is there room for Day?

Pick 30 be enough?

 

[Dixie Flatline]

That was a bit of fun on a Friday night. Let's do it again, shall we?

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

It’s fantastic isn’t it.
Even for a jaded old fogey like myself, now in my 40s, I still find it such good fun.
We’re a fun team.
The Wiz even put one of his hats on for his Abbey interview.
Embrace it, these times don’t come around all that often.

Christ at 49, I had seen 9. Look forward to the good times, PLENTY come. Loved all the hats, great stuff..

 

[Buzz Hawk]

I’m so giddy I don’t want to go to bed.
Thank you Hawthorn.
Thank you.

 

[BlueWaterHawk]

I believed these boys would win the moment I saw them with huge smiles at the beginning of the game. They LOVE it!
Forget nerves, these guys know how to embrace the energy and channel it.

I have seen countless great wins from the Hawks, tonight might be my favourite non GF win ever. Never had more fun watching a team and felt more connected to a group of players.

I genuinely love them all and you can tell they all love each other and the club

Been at it since the early 1980s and this is certainly up there. The 2013 PF would have it covered, but tonight was pretty sick.

 

[Roddy]

Who was our BOG tonight? Newc? Meek? Mass? Wiz? Scrim? Sic?

The correct answer to this is ‘no one’. We had yet another ridiculously even contribution across the field.

 

[Lunchtime]

Very impressive.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Let's take a second to consider that we are rolling into a qualification final after starting the year 0-5.

I mean how absolutely nuts is that?

Wizard made them disappear

GInni found it on the ground and put it on his head.

 

[KermitJagger]

I don't mind RoCo but his questions are 80% statement.

 

[Glenhope]

One thing I noticed in all the previews was that they could point to specific Dogs players that would win the game but they couldn't name a hawk that would win the game for us. That's how even we are. Just a team.

 

[The Chad and I]

This team is filled with ice-cold killers.

Zero nerves playing their first final in front of 97,000 people.

I had full confidence we would maintain our relentless pressure and it would be up to the Bulldogs to keep up.

We are the team that knocks.
