Autopsy Hawthorn pipped at the post by Port Adelaide

[toomanysquibs]

Robbo still has steam coming out of his ears.

He's also struggling with the distinction between player and coach.

Have another beer, Robbo!

Hodgey was very, very happy with the Lions win. He has a strong Paul Salmon vibe (who now apparently supports the Hawks despite playing 80 percent of his career at the Dons)

Saw a guy near the cbd about a year ago going for a run with vintage hawks gear on that looked like genuine club apparel. It was the man Paul Salmon

 

[toomanysquibs]

Hawthorns first 3 goals were because port tackles were too rough.
Those goals were embarrassing to any real male.

Mods can we get this Port fan out of here?

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Hinkley fined $20k for his embarrassing reaction to a win.

Pretty harsh to fine someone $20k a week before they get sacked.

He has the most confusing post history of all time. Is he a hawthorn or port fan lmao

He's a hard man to miss is the Big Fish!

Bloody hell though how good was he in the ruck for us, so good.

Robbo doing gods work by continually linking everything back to the drug saga, making sure no one ever forgets that * were drug cheats.

i am sure every single Essendon person involved at the time wants that to all go away forever but it continues to come back up.

 

[Lickmesocks]

Love the Volkaneo but he definitely puts too much mayo on things. Best win in 20 years? He’s acting like they travelled to the g with 15 debutants and beat the undefeated ladder leaders

Yeah Kane has come to work with his port guernsey on. He spent the entire week talking up Hawthorn and loading up on Port and how insipid they were while stirring the hornets nest right up.

Hats off to Port, they played superbly and gave us zero time or space to get any system going on the night.

He also whacked Hodge and Lewis between the eyes and basically called them sooks which will be an interesting watch for the reply.

He's a machiavellian, populist media operator.

Doesn't care about anyone other than himself ultimately, he's no friend of our club no matter what people might think.

Was probably passing along notes to Port with whatever he felt he could glean from the interaction after catching the same plane as our guys.

 

[barbster]

I don't understand this logic.

If you don't want to give other sides motivation, what do you think Ken just did?

He shot himself in the foot.

I'd rather not see that. Not wanting us to pick up any cues from Peanut Kenny. 75,000 Hawks fans boo'ing the clown when he steps foot on the MCG (we need that fixture) will do. And Sammy ignoring him.

Yeah Id take a more stoic approach myself as you suggested but not everyone is motivated that way.

And Sam did that half way through a game when everyone was talking trash. Sheedy did his throat thing at half time.

Once the game is over it is over.

 

[Harper_Hawk]

Hawkforce - after last week Geelong game , Burgoyne was a player mentioned as not up to standard to be cut from the list and port start again.

Still waving your aeroplane arms Ken. Let’s see if you wave them on your way back from Sydney.

That point is somehow lost on so many people. Hard to know whether it's self deception, or deliberate.

It's a weird world this AFL media landscape.

Almost like they're living in a bubble, and don't get that the days of privileged access and non disclosure about what goes on behind closed doors is almost over.

Reckons it was their best win in 20 years.

Probably true. Shit club

I'm pretty sure Paul Salmon growing up was a Hawthorn supporter? At least that's what I recall from a hazy memory of back then, or perhaps it was a family connection to Hawthorn. Either way I don't think it was a case of him being turned away from the dark side and now supporting us as there was already a connection to us which preceded him playing for Essendon.

Edit: Just did a few searches which confirmed what I recalled in some news articles I found. He did support the Hawks growing up.

Port Adelaide - we exist to win premierships semi-finals against a 7th placed side after losing our first home final by 84 points

Yes, if anything let the fans do it, West Coast / Sheedy style with the jacket!

Or everyone could go the airplane arms…

He’s not likely to be coach next year though.

Kind of sad, the game needs its subterranean brained villains. So few around making themselves known now.

 

[SSSSSS]

Looking back I wish we swung Weddle forward earlier. We needed a tall up there with Gunston going off and he was having a bit of a mare down back.

Hopefully with Battle and Barass coming to the club Weddle can play closer to goal.

Nah, nah they're doing it. 12 times in one game too. It's going to be like Heathrow airport

 

[peetoo]

Hawks were ridiculously short odds for that game and premiership

Interstingly ports premiership odds now are longer than hawks were last week, and Sydney’s have shortened
