And it was those same football fans that the Hawks fought for that repaid the club by joining up in their thousands and, on Saturday, providing the kind of atmosphere at an AFL grand final not seen since Collingwood ended its 32-year premiership drought in 1990.
The new Hawthorn supporter base is much louder, larger and passionate than in the club's glory era in the 1980s and the way the pro-Hawks crowd lifted their team at the MCG on Saturday was simply spine-tingling.
I hope your club makes heaps of cash but those people that get on the club a week before and after the granny just shit me.Ha Ha, I agree. I read in the paper that yesterday or Saturday alone we turned over about $600,000 in merchandise compared to $100,000 for a year a couple of years ago
Not me though. I would have worn my wooley guernsey if it had still fitted so I settled for my early 2000's jumper.
And I won't be buying any new guernsey's until they get Tasmania off it

Spot on champI'll admit, I was embarassed by the number of supporters milling around Fed square at 9pm on Saturday night. Way too many people who probably pulled their hawk scarf out of the dusty cupboard and thought, "I'm gonna head into the city to celebrate even though I didn't go to any games this year".
Then again it's better than the days when we had 15,000 members and everyone of them were die-hard fans. At least our future is secured

Trust me, there was no greater collection of brand new scarfs and guernseys than at the 2001 grand final parade. It was absolutely nauseating.
As for Hawthorn, after the game against Essendon earlier this year I was walking behind an elderly woman wearing a 51 year membership scarf. I remember patting her on the pack and saying I hope the Hawks won the flag just for her loyalty.
i tend to purchase a new jumper yearly, usually alternatives (trainging, away etc) next year i will be getting the home one again
Will the new jumper have the gold AFL logo on it? or that only for the players to wear?

Players only.
Players only.
the official ones from the club are the non-match worn ones the players get, so they will
So when all of us Essendon supporters buy new jumpers because of the changed sponsor and apparel supplier, we'll all be bandwagon supporters.
And I'm sure that all of your clubs just hate it when you buy their gear every year. Geez they hate the money that they make out of it. I'm sure they give it to charity.
New gear = bandwagon supporter. Interesting logic.
In VFL/AFL history?Good on the Hawks for winning the big GF but i haven't seen so many new jumpers over the last few days.Is this the biggest BANDWAGON in vfl/afl history
Of course. You can't have the new jumper ever, you have to stick with the first ever jumper you get until it falls apart from being 10 sizes too small.
