Here we have a 'Straight Setter' in its natural habitat. Living in the past, moving oh so ungracefully. Truly a sight to behold.

Hawks lost their first final last year as well and had to rely on their double chance. Doggies didn't have that luxury.The Hawks never come from 7th to
Win a flag, ranking our dynasty as just behind Geelong's as the greatest ever.
Win it again next year and we might become the best ever.

Hawks missed the finals in 2009 and therefore 2008 cannot be included in any dynasty conversation. Doing so will just make the author look like a complete and utter fool, as you have managed to do here. Good one.Hawks 2008 - 2015 dynasty in a professional 18-team competition with equalisation measures to boot (AFL's love children excluded) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Geelololong's late 1800's "dynasty" in an 8-team amateur competition.
Do yourself a favour and stop these illusions of grandeur. It's unhealthy and only highlights your severe inferiority complex.

Merger Game
The end of the 1996 season saw Melbourne and Hawthorn play each other in the last round of that season. The "Merger Game" as it was called, was a spirited contest, as it was a likely possibility that it would be the last Hawthorn vs. Melbourne contest and, as the result that Melbourne could not make the finals and Hawthorn needed to win the game by any margin to have any chance to contest the 1996 finals series, many fans saw this game as a last chance to see their team play football.
Team 1 2 3 Final
Hawthorn 3.5 10.6 12.10 15.12 (102)
Melbourne 5.4 7.6 12.8 15.11 (101)
63,196 fans went to the Melbourne Cricket Ground to see Dunstall kick 10 goals and the Hawks win by one point. In a now-famous moment of defiance to both the league and his team's board, Chris Langford (Hawthorn's full back) took off his Hawthorn jumper and proudly held it above his head while leaving the field. Prior to the game, an 'anti-merger' rally, led by Scott, was held at Hawthorn's then training ground, Glenferrie Oval.
Later in the round, Richmond lost to the North Melbourne by a large margin. This loss ensured that Hawthorn were playing in the finals. The Finals system at the time meant that Hawthorn, that finished in eighth position had to play the team that finished first, Sydney Swans in Sydney. Hawthorn would lose by 6 points and get knocked out in the first week of the 1996 finals, a week after the merger votes.

Couldn't agree more.You Hawks and Cats fans are kind of like England and France squabbling - historic, faintly amusing but irrelevant.
China and USA have taken over. And they wear charcoal and orange, and red white and blue.
End Fred.
07-11 is the greatest dynasty of the modern era I'm afraid. Premiership - Runners Up - Premiership - Preliminary Finalist - Premiership. It's completely unheard of in the modern era. Here's a pretty picture to answer any more questions.On that basis, you should not be including your failed 2008 or 2010 campaigns in your little one-peat "dynasty".

This bloke is bleeding all over the joint.
How was the players' appearance at Ballarat this afternoon? Oh wait, hang on - they thought that sitting in a dingy pub in Yarraville was a better idea than sharing the celebrations with the hand that feeds them. The complacency and "I'm a premiership hero, f*** you supporters" attitude has started already.
Like almost every one of your posts, that makes no sense.The only thing that is bleeding is your anus which started in 2012 and continues to this day
lol we have debunked this already - like the wage gap but you plebs wont leave it alone since you have all your own surprise sex cases pending yourself.It's funny that in the 20 years since that failed merger, the only thing Carlolololton has done of any note is win an elimination final after finishing 9th and paid a couple of women some hush money.
Meh missing shitty Ballarat is not the same as going on massive drug fuelled benders like the family club.
Injunction.
We could be one hit wonders but I'm tipping our coach knows a bit about sustained success. It follows him.
It's what he does.

Let me throw another one your way - hawks success in the 80s are due to a certain white powder.
But but minnows have just as many spoons as flagsNice try minnow.
You have debunked it - but John Elliot your long-serving president was quoted as saying that hush money was paid.
Like almost every one of your posts, that makes no sense.
You're a shit poster, now disappear and make this thread better.
Let me dumb it down for you pea-brain
2012 - knocked out in the first week
2013 - choked
2014 - straight sets
2015 - 10th
2016 - fell in, then got pantsed by the worst side to ever finish on top after the H and A season
If that's not bleeding, then what is?
Please feel free to ignore my posts if the truth hurts as much as your botty does right now.
But but minnows have just as many spoons as flags
like for example..I dunno 13/11
so what if the then shit canned president said it, that is not proof idiot.
