a flogging is a flogging.

we beat Brisbane in Brisbane and you didn't.

Compare all you like, simple fact is we have both let our guard down at different times and been belted embarassingly.
 
Sorry but you can't base one flogging as the "real pies" when they've been ultra competitive this year. I enjoyed watching it last night but your clutching at straws if you're alluding to this game as the "real pies". A pretty dumb thread.
 
Brisbane are on fire at the moment and you will find the best of young sides will suffer a letdown at some stage. Better to get it out of the way now and refocus for the finals.
 
Yeah, but that was against Adelaide in Adelaide in the wet.
Not by Brisbane at the MCG by 22 points a greater margain.

lol trying to justify a flogging either way. You scored the lowest score of the season, its how we respond next week that matters, btw there is no such thing as playing above yourself. You can't play any better than your talent suggests.

They were under-prepared, complacent, and didn't show the respect to Brisbane they deserved, and wern't switched on. Things didn't go our way from the beginning. This sort of thing happens in football. Most sides will have 1 or more let downs per year, and it all depends on how you bounce back.

You only have to look back 2 weeks to see the reigning premiers thumped by 100 points.

You re-jig, re-assess, and focus on the coming week and make up for it. The week after a big loss is the one the determines your character, because sometimes things go wrong. It all depends how you respond to it.
 
If that was the real pies then who have i been watching all year?

I look at it as though all teams need to get a thumping and this is probably as good a time as any to get it. Now we can focus on what we did wrong and fix it for the finals.
 
Yep, looks like the real Hawks have turned up at Aurora Stadium. Doesn't take long for these stupid threads to bite you on the arse, does it? You managed all of about 12 hours, congrats. :rolleyes:

Poor excuse you were thrashed by Adelaide, deal with it, like we have to deal with us being smashed by Brisbane. We beat both Adelaide and Brisbane at their home grounds.

No excuses.

We were poor, and you were poor against Adelaide.
 
I think the same goes for Hawks this year but we knew this was not our year
we are preparing for big 2008 2009 and a long powerful future.
Both Collingwood and Hawthorn have some good youngsters coming through, the main thing for both sides would be to play finals to get some finals experience and understand the pressures that is finals.

Then have a crack at it again next year.
 
Collingwood are just an average team with a GREAT coach (i'd love him at the blues) and an EXTREMELY favourable draw.

Get over the "draw". The so called favourable part of the draw started last night supposedly but starts in earnest when we get to double up on the blues. Up until then we had travelled and won so by any reckoning our place in the ladder up to now was earned
 
The easy draw thing is always funny, people make it sound like it hands you a win. Damn we must speak to Andy about this, there is no way we should have lost a game that was handed to us.

He'll fix it. :)
