There's something funny about these close Hawthorn wins...

[detox]

Not all conspiracy theories are equal, like not all mysteries are. I won't go into it, probably no point, but it's arrogant to think we know the answers to everything, or the official story is right. No need to be a tin-hat wearing crazy to realise that...

Id love for the thread to turn from Hawthorn to the validity of conspiracy theories.

Some conspiracy theories are ludicrous, others arent.

If we can beat Carlton - and we should -

'Should' or 'will'? What do you know? What are you hiding?

...we'll unbelievably finish higher than Sydney by round's end.

Yes, a little too 'unbelievably' mr perthboy86, if that's your real name

OP if it all gets too much, just lie down with your black Nikes on and wait for the Hale-Bopp Comet to collect you.

I was born in 1986, when Haley's Comet was last seen...

Indeed - have you considered that perhaps you were the unborn child of one of the Heaven's Gate cult, and you were actually born in a parallel universe in which Hawthorn could never be beaten and always won the close matches. Thinking about it, you may well be posting your thoughts through a hole in the space-time continuum created by Cyril's uncanny weaving through packs.

Hawthorn players were holograms.

Now this thread's diving deep. This is where we all buckle up 'cause some people won't enjoy the ride

Yes it's me, and I'm seriously aroused.

Dogs, Saints, Adelaide, North and Sydney all shat the bed in the dying stages. Whilst the grit/experience of Hawthorn in these situations is perhaps overstated, you develop somewhat of an aura after winning three straight flags. It's all in the head for opposition teams - most just don't have the mental fortitude to beat Hawthorn when the match is on the line.

I don't believe I've ever seen so many words, say so little.

It's a country wide conspiracy to what? Make everyone other than Hawthorn supporters feel
shit about their football teams!

You may have just stumbled upon the answer. We are infact in a Hollywood movie.

Probably have my rose-coloured glasses on here, but today the umpires seem to be much more noticeable and the decisions are an absolute lottery sometimes. It's baffling. The umpiring has turned to shit with all the room for interpretation and 'rule of the week'. They're not judges carefully weighing up evidence in a court case. They're officials umpiring a fast-paced sport. How do you expect them to reach correct and consistent decisions when so many things are open to interpretation? The rules of Australian football need an overhaul to remove as many grey areas as possible. This can't go on any longer.

 

[Natho]

Just way too good. Plain and simple.

 

[JackFlash]

I'm completely bored by Hawthorn...no matter what they win by...

 

[H2F]

I know I'm biased because I'm tired of watching these close games where Hawthorn pinch it week after week, all the gushing from the commentators (particularly Bruce), all that wasted energy, but I really am starting to wonder...

There is something funny about how Hawthorn are winning all these close games. Can you remember any team managing so many close ones, where things just go to script so predictably? Bulldogs, Saints, Crows, and now the Swans. This isn't thread the umps favouring them, it's more than that. I just think it's more than Hawthorn being a great team (which I admit, it undoubtedly is), or deserving to win. It just strikes me as odd, something about it just seems almost a little too convenient, too scripted, like a Hollywood film...

Every time it's the same. The Hawks seem to pinch a few quick goals near the very end, as if beating the buzzer, and they are all so fast, so easy, it just looks like they have such incredible luck. Some might say the footy gods are smiling on them. Every bounce, every kick, just seems to go there way. Also, it just seems Hawthorn get a lot of these quick, easy goals, far more than any other side. Like from turnovers they seem to find so much space, so much run...it always seems like they have more players, more space. It could be something tactical, like Clarkson has a whole new system of doing things that other teams haven't caught onto yet. It's not just playing well, but the way they play. Even when not playing well they find a way to win. It's like they don't need to do as much to win, which does come down to footy smarts, skill, and those subtle things, but still, would it be bold of me to suggest something awry?

I guess we could speculate. It does seem the umps do favour Hawthorn in crucial moments, but I still feel that alone can't explain it. Honestly, i don't think it's sour grapes, but I wouldn't be too surprised if they're being favoured, or they have something extra on their side. Who knows, maybe performance enhancing drugs? lol. Nah it'd be too easy a slander to make. But of course not impossible, but with no evidence we couldn't lay that charge. Oh how sweet if it WAS, however. Or indeed match fixing? Who's to say the AFL isn't immune to that? Make it so every team LOOKS like they might beat the Hawks, but have the players, coaches, umps.etc arrange it so a Hawk's victory is guaranteed every time, usually off the boot of golden boy Rioli or Puopolo or or something, who magically just slices through the packs, or takes a stunning mark every bloody time, just at the right moment, as if they're not there and boots a goal to put them in front with a minute to go or something. Once that happens you know the end of the story, it's as predictable as clockwork. Maybe it will feed into the story of the Hawk's as some superhuman, unbeatable team, maybe the AFL wants a 4-peat, maybe they want an upset. Maybe the bookies are in on it. I don't know. I'm not saying there's a conspiracy theory, but in all honestly, I wouldn't be surprised.

Well if they are, I might as well put money for the Hawks to win the Grand Final by a point now.

The way I reconcile such a pathetic post, disrespecting the incredible genius coach and training is this.

You're so stupid your life must be bad.

That's how.

They said one thing.

That would suck ...

Dont call 5 points way too good

Isn't it amazing what continued success does to the Australian psyche!

Frothing, raving, unhinged ...

Gotta cut down those poppies!

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Hawks too composed and too good. That's all there is to it.

 

[luthor]

Hawthorn players were holograms.

What rot.

They're all drones and being steered around the field by a hidden remote control device .

What do you think is inside that arm brace that "Good Bloke" Hodge has been wearing lately?

On field general alright..... the more he waves that arm about the better the device works.

Good teams win close pressure games..

[Jcpdragonx]

Hodge always concedes shit goals in fourth quarters but then he does a 1%er in the last minute he is the hero. A 10 gamer danced around him and kicked a goal. Never see Mitchell, Rioli, Gunston or Burgoyne do this, but they end up cleaning his mess.
