cant see any lies in the article, we have beaten bad teams by a lot and and the better teams have beaten us.

We've literally beaten 1 and 3 in their own power rankings brainiac.cant see any lies in the article, we have beaten bad teams by a lot and and the better teams have beaten us.
The article says in the last 3 months we have beaten 1 team currently in the 8 .....We've beaten 4 of the other 7 top 8 sides and also Freo who are in 9th. 3 wins against teams above us on the ladder.
Perhaps you can't see any lies in the article because you haven't actually read it. Not what it says at all.The article says in the last 3 months we have beaten 1 team currently in the 8 .....
Mate your bagging the article and having a go at me and haven't even read it. "Over the last three months, the Hawks have beaten the teams currently sitting 15th, 3rd (by a kick in controversial fashion), 18th, 16th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 8th and 18th (again)." Just pointing out there right. They have us ranked 5th which is awesome.We've literally beaten 1 and 3 in their own power rankings brainiac.

Why? We don't play for Hawthorn, what possible effect could someone dreaming of a grand final appearance have on a result. Our complacency, as supporters, in no way affects the results of games played by the players. They are the ones that need to take it one week at a time, we are the ones booking seats at the next 6 grand finals.

And you read 1 top 8 side listed there? Even if you hadn't miscounted it is still wrong because the Brisbane win was on the 26th of May, i.e., less than 3 months ago.Over the last three months, the Hawks have beaten the teams currently sitting 15th, 3rd (by a kick in controversial fashion), 18th, 16th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 8th and 18th (again).

Pretty crazy! Apparently a "controversial win" is when the finish is a bit iffy despite finishing with 6 more scoring shots on the day.What utter shit that article is. You can’t rank Sydney as the present second best team in the league based off recent form - that’s lunacy.
Also - this ‘oh Hawthorn have only beaten sides currently X on the ladder’ is hogwash. When we beat Freo they were 3rd on the ladder having just beat Sydney at home 2 weeks prior when Sydney weren’t in a slump. They are a good side and pushed us all day but we got the 4 points.
Bottom 4 sides always have to play the previous 2 premiers 2 times in the season, that's how you ensure the soft draw!Excellent
Soft draw article - tick️
Surely we get the exploited FA article next![]()
Wasn't anything controversial about it either. Clear down field free, no room for interpretation.Pretty crazy! Apparently a "controversial win" is when the finish is a bit iffy despite finishing with 6 more scoring shots on the day.
St Kilda are running on top of the ground - Carlton could get smacked by St Kinda the same way Hawthorn smacked them. Carlton are too slow.I don't think Carlton can beat Stkilda. WC couldn't stop Cripps. Stkilda can and there isn't much else. I don't see Kemp kicking goals against wilke and battle either.
i just noticed something really suspicious about Sydney's form. sure, they've been winning a lot – but they haven't beat any of the sides above them on the ladder. something veryWasn't anything controversial about it either. Clear down field free, no room for interpretation.
Seems the article also doesn't take into account that Freo and Collingwood would be in the top 8 if we hadn't beaten them.
Your right I read that wrong. But can we agree that in the last 12 weeks we have beaten 2 team's currently in the 8 and they were sitting 7th and 8th on the ladder at the time.It doesn't say that, and that is not the case.
They must never have cost the Hawks a game by going to get a pie mid quarter.Oh you’re one of those people who doesn’t think you can jinx your team by your own actions. That sounds really nice and relaxing.
I am not saying we haven't had a tough draw, just we have beaten teams below us really well and have not YET proven ourselves against teams that we need to beat in September.
