Don't confuse a team getting ahead of itself and being pathetically shit a "mini rebuild". It taken this long, but this Hawks team has barely got to par with it's achievements to this point.

Wow, you're clearly over it...
Just deal with it and move on ffs...
Again. This just doesn't make any sense.
Yeah we were pretty shit in 2009/10
Geelong: 2007-2013
3 Flags from 4 Grand Finals, 2 Preliminary Finals
80.3% success rate
Hawthorn: 2007-2013
2 Flags from 3 Grand Finals, 1 Preliminary Final
68% success rate
Pretty sad that our success isnt that far apart in your greatest era

All Australian
love the avatar!
you dont consider Tuck M one of your greatest players?
I do,so many great at the club though.
Great point. 7 time premiership players and 4 time premiership captains don't just grow on trees..
Hodge?

WTF is she doing there???
I think she's some kids show presenter trying to be wacky, pretty f***ing dumb putting her head under a horses arse and the horse taught her a lesson by taking a massive shit on her lol.
The full video.
unfortunatly no they dont
is that kim duthie?
LOL okay...
The Swans had 36,358 members for season 2013 and drew 657,712 across their 22 home and away games (29,896)
...and they won the flag last year!
In the year prior, the premiership season, they had 29,873 members for season 2012 and drew a mere 595,825 (27,083) across their home and away games!
Hawthorn had 63,353 members for season 2013 and drew 899,031 across their 22 home and away games (40,865) for season 2013. In 2012 we had 60,841 members and drew 891,088 (40,501) across our home and away games.
Evidently Shitney got a 21% bounce in membership and 10% bounce in membership from the 2012 flag. In 2005 they evidently got a similar 21% bounce in membership and 4% bounce in attendance. FFS we even got a 20% bounce in membership and levelled our attendance in 2009 despite missing the finals! Unless we have a spectacular **** up we'll likely have a 10% bounce on our attendance for next year (980,000 or so) despite playing 4 games in front of 13k in Launceston...
So clearly Hawthorn is a far, far, far bigger club.
So lets look upon further observation
Hawthorn hosted 2 games against Sydney in Melbourne for season 2013
Hawthorn V Sydney - 54,725 (Round 7)
Hawthorn V Sydney - 59,615 (Qualifying Final)
Sydney hosted 1 game against Hawthorn for season 2013
Sydney V Hawthorn - 37,980 (Round 23)
You could be correct, or could you?
Fun Fact of the Day: The Hawks had 9 home and away games that drew larger than 37.9k (including no less than 5 games beyond 60k and 4 beyond 70k) whilst the Swans had just 2 games (1 being against Hawthorn) that drew more than 37.9k for the home and away season.
Deductive reasoning and a solid grasp of demographics suggests that you probably live in some shit outer eastern suburb in Melbourne and envy Hawthorn, that's cool I would too if I went for the Tigs
But one thing is clear as day, Hawthorn is a significantly larger club than Sydney as per the stats above. Don't let your enduring envy of a BETTER club get in the way of that very fact.
Oh and we've now got more flags than your shit club despite giving you a 17 year head start. Jack Dyer must be turning around in his grave
Read the sig flog...
Yet when your club was down, people like you tried to vote it out of existence.
Then a few years later, your club had to partially relocate to survive.
Historical fact my friend.
Rant and rave and froth at the mouth as much as you like.
Love Hodge and he is above Franklin. Sammy will win another Peter Crimmins medal this year. Despite being perennially underrated Mitchell is the best player of this Hawks generation.
Guerra is on the list as well. Just for smashing Chapman last year.
Oh I aint mad. I'm thrilled to bits. We have just pinched the greatest player to ever pull on a whorek jumper, since Lethal. We are gonna make an even greater player out of him by giving him a megadose of what he always lacked, culture
Buddy is going to Sydney for a megadose alright but it's not culture he's interested in.
Those are pretty impressive numbers, eh?
22,000 plus at Glenferrie (I was there, they shut the gates and people were watching from across Linda Cres.), 6,000 in Launceston and even 1,000 at a reception in Hobart...heck the GF even pulled 100,000 plus for the 3rd time in 27 years (2 of the 3 have involved Hawthorn)
Not bad for the 5th club in Australia's second more populated state...
Bandwagoners they may be but when you make 17 GF's and win 11 flags in 52 years who cares? Well likely be back in the GF either next year or the year thereafter
Meanwhile as for the Tigs, here's hoping you can make your 'once in a generation' final more memorable for your loyal army of fans. If some are sick of the torment they can always hope on the Hawks wagon, most Demon fans did

It's nice to visit the Bay occasionally and see how the less fortunate and disadvantaged are dealing with their miserable lives. Warms my heart to know how jealous they are of our continued success. Yeh Buddys gone, was good while it lasted. As sure as the sun comes up tomorrow though i'll still be celebrating our Premiership of 2013. My avitars still drunk as a skunk.
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow I know that we are a happy team at Hawthorn and our next flag is not too far away either. Sucks for you i know but hey its fact. We both know it.
Now Geelong Dynasty, Kardinia Park, Cat Attack08 and JackAttack hold out your lil tin cups and i'll toss you a bit of loose change on the way out to ease your pains. Btw wheres MaryJames is she off tending her watermelon insertion farm. Not to worry spread the cheer for me will ya.
Carry on sillys.
Back to celebrating no.11
It feels good to do charity work every now and then.

This gif sums it up, with Buddy as the horse and Hawthorn as the dopey woman.
Still LOLing. One of the most underrated posts, by a non-Blood, of the year so far.
Buddy the Stallion says bye bye to the Bitch that is WhoreTorn. LOLOLOLOLOL!
