This is spine tingling documentary even if you are not a hawk supppor. Kokoda Preseason Clarkson pre-grand final address Grand Final Post grand final address
there will be no more docos like this one. for those wondering, the director, Rob Dickson, and his son died in a car accident in April 2009. this is something special to have in your DVD collection if you are a Hawks supporter.
Remember watching Offsiders on ABC the weekend before the grand final & Caroline Wilson stated she thought the Hawks were "cherry ripe" to win the 2008 grand final when most experts thought it would be beyond Hawthorn. It was a big call cause Geelong has been all conquering that year in the home & away games. I've been a hawk supporter since 1961 & I must admit I thought it was going to be a very big ask to beat Geelong that day but the mighty hawks did us proud. The victory is even sweeter when you beat the raging favorite.
I remember in round 17 when we lost to them by a few points and I thought to myself if we meet them in the gf that something special was going to happen. I told my friends what my thoughts where and they all laughed at me. Well we got the 🏆 and I got the 😊's.
Im a swans supporter, and yet i even like this video, the camera angles are amazing, and so is the use of footage, someone needs to do something like this but for AFL.
2008 I knew we were going to take the flag - 2012 the disappointment - 2013 Didn't think we were going to win - 2014 I thought Sydney had our measure - 2015 Eagles by a landslide - today those great memories has me still thinking - WHAT A CLUB.
Always felt we were a chance leading up to the game. this team will be and is my favourite to date. even the 89 team, not saying they were better then the 89 team, certainly not but they were genuine underdogs, true hawthorn spirit right there.
i also want to reiterate the fact that Clarkson has grown with a side over 9 years. His inspiration is prominent throughout the club, but also through the supporters. I find that lacking throughout Geelong FC in general.
The 2008 and 2012 grand finals have a lot of similarities in my opinion. In both, the favoured team (Geelong in '08, Hawthorn in '12) won a lot of key statistical indicators including inside 50s by a big margin but lost two crucial ones: tackles and disposal efficiency. Hawthorn's tackling pressure and efficiency got to Geelong just like the Sydney pressure and efficiency got to us last year. Both Hawthorn and Sydney were the better team on the right day and deserved the premierships they got.
More inside 50s but nowhere near as fluent as they had been all year due to the defensive structures we had in place. They came hard continuously for the first 2 and a half qtrs thinking they would eventually break us. But it was the other way around and once we grabbed momentum in the 3rd they dropped their heads and the last Qtr and a bit of that game was on our terms. It was a masterclass in how to bring down a juggernaut. It reminded me of Rocky vs Ivan Drago.
Still my favourite footballing moment to see Crawf get the flag in his last game against Hawthorn's greatest rival. Hawthorn cruised into the GF with demolition jobs on the WB and Saints. When Cyril won that contest when he was against three on the wing, I knew we had it in the bag.
Im having a bad season this year and I just sometimes feel like giving up and taking that easy option of quiting. But this made me want to push harder so hopfully one day soon I can be with of a group of my mates celebrating like this!
Yes I can. Hawthorn were better on the day. Geelong have been better since, but in the 2008 GF Hawthorn were better. Geelong played well that day, could have kicked straighter at goal, but they were still a great side. The pressure they applied to Hawthorn in the last quarter was massive, but Hawthorn were good enough to withstand it. It was a great GF between 2 great sides. I hope this year's GF is Hawthorn vs Geelong, as it'll be a ripper
Mr Reality Check, I'm getting back to you about flags, AFL flags now equal, VFL and AFL flags Hawthorn 2 ahead...despite Geelong being in the comp 28 years longer. Bow down before your overlords! WHEN IT MATTERS!!!
look, i understand that you support Geelong. Don't get me wrong, Geelong are a fantastic side and have proved that over the last decade in particular. Albeit the fact that a few comments may have been incorrect; i feel as if that your comment that 'Geelong have won more flags than Hawthorn' was severely wrong. Before you make vicious comments like that, get your facts right. I admire Geelong FC as a team - as for their supporters..
***** What have we done since then? Finished top 4 for 4 straight seasons won back 2 back flags for the second time in our History did geelong go back to back in there dominant era? Oh don't worry i already know the answer and its a no because the Hawks out played them haha
Remember also it wasn't that long ago those 'inspirational' supporters were calling for Clarkson's head, not to mention your ex president. In 9 years with the team Hawthorn has/had they should have won 2-3 flags.
@@traceyzamora9895 Dew was good, no doubt. Yeah and Eagles beat Collingwood in the 2018 granny. Doesn't mean it wasn't interfering with a marking contest.
mate don't act like you Geelong supporters are goodies mate there is good and bad in all supporters but us hawkers just don't give a fuck. we're loyal and we'll stay by the hawks no matter what.
You probably couldn't see it but the abuse we coped from Hawthorn supporters was ridiculous, they were not good sports after the 2008 GF. Most of us would have moved on and congratulated you guys if your supporters weren't such pricks. The rivalry between our two teams was created by Hawthorn supporters after the GF (which I never understood as you guys won). Imagine how the Hawthorn supporters would have behaved if they lost?
OMG! @MrRealityCheck88 you are prophetic. Everything you have said in the comments has come true, except all of it. Geelong - the club with the worst supporters in the entire country.
No I said AFL flags not AFL/VFL flags, it's tongue in cheek to Hawks supporters who keep claiming they are a better side because they have more total flags. I can see you admire this man (Clarkson) but from this video and hearing him make 'speeches' I didn't feel he came across very strongly, passionately or much of an inspiration (that's just my opinion). Nothing in my comments that I said makes me a 'fuckwit' as you put it. Hawks supporters aren't exactly the greatest supporters either.....
Worst grand final i ever watched. Cats were awesome in the centre. Hawks couldnt control geelongs momentum in the first half. Would of slaughted hawks if it wernt for their horrible accuracy towards goals. 23 points... it was painful. Hawks however had spot on accuracy, 18 goals it was pretty good.
taylor stevenson you know what they say, bad kicking is bad footy. Can’t give excuses when kicking a goal is the main aim of the game. If you can’t do that, then you deserve to lose. Same thing happened with us in 2012, kicked horribly and Swans got us, we deserved to lose in 2012. Same thing here with Geelong.

Respect.
@M have some respect.
R.I.P Rob
I’ve watched this 20 times and still the best
MANCHESTER UNITED who cares how ‘popular’ the sport is
MANCHESTER UNITED F.C nobody gives a fuck
@M Soccer: beloved by lady boys the world over....
This was probably the sweetest grand final win of them all personally for me as a Hawk supporter...! I also got married the very next day !
It’s one of those grand finals that can be watched over and over my all time favourite. Thanks Rob Dixon for this wonderful documentary RIP
When you have been a supporter since 1971 like myself ? You relish all the Premierships The Mighty Hawks have won .
Just magic.."Hawks Always"..bring on 2019..were coming back baby...
What a well-made documentary. If only every premiership got one
Amazingly I have never seen that till now. Being a hawker all my 55 years and to not have seen this beautiful doco is a travesty. Nice on rob. Rip.
I was there on the day, still on the edge of my seat 30mins into last quarter. What a great team! What a Coach! What a great day!

Best day of my life
YeahTheLoz Gaming my dad was going to go to it but he wanted to watch it with my sister as it was her first grand final being alive
Fantastic, forever.
Im a swans supporter, and yet i even like this video, the camera angles are amazing, and so is the use of footage, someone needs to do something like this but for AFL.
Now i'm crying in public.
Patiently awaiting the 2013 version of this.
Go Hawks!
NO shame in that .
Paris Searles and 14 and 15 and maybe 2019?😃
There won’t be another one
2008 I knew we were going to take the flag - 2012 the disappointment - 2013 Didn't think we were going to win - 2014 I thought Sydney had our measure - 2015 Eagles by a landslide - today those great memories has me still thinking - WHAT A CLUB.
That's what we're talking about, Crawf! Go you good thing!
love the shark analogy
I love this and I'm a collingwood supporter
This is from the 'Essence of the Game' DVD. Absolutely brilliant. GO HAWKS!
Always felt we were a chance leading up to the game. this team will be and is my favourite to date. even the 89 team, not saying they were better then the 89 team, certainly not but they were genuine underdogs, true hawthorn spirit right there.
On the precipice of Greatness. Stuart Dew sneer at 4:16 says it all.
My oldest son is a mad one eyed hawthorn supporter so this is for him GO HAWKS!
i also want to reiterate the fact that Clarkson has grown with a side over 9 years. His inspiration is prominent throughout the club, but also through the supporters. I find that lacking throughout Geelong FC in general.
Great video, thanks heaps.
I love Cyril
I was there and one of the most inspirational games of football I've ever had the pleasure to watch. And another one coming up !
You should have been at 89 then! That smashed this out of the park!

It was a masterclass in how to bring down a juggernaut. It reminded me of Rocky vs Ivan Drago.
To add to this they went on and won 2 of the next 3 flags so it just goes to prove how dominant they were as a team.
Awesome video... brings back memories of the day.
Great Video!! bring back great memories of the great game, lets hope the hawks can do it again on saturday!!!! Go the mighty Hawkers!!!!
Thanks hawks for giving the cats another gf loss. Love from a Richmond fan
Lewis loved that little Crawford cry at the end
Still my favourite footballing moment to see Crawf get the flag in his last game against Hawthorn's greatest rival. Hawthorn cruised into the GF with demolition jobs on the WB and Saints. When Cyril won that contest when he was against three on the wing, I knew we had it in the bag.
The beginning of the Dynasty that became the best team of the modern era . Hawthorn .
Im having a bad season this year and I just sometimes feel like giving up and taking that easy option of quiting. But this made me want to push harder so hopfully one day soon I can be with of a group of my mates celebrating like this!
Got to admit, that was pretty sick!
Though you forgot to include the 11 rush behinds from the Hawks xD
Good job, Phil. Engcourge you to make more.
That is a quality doco ! carn the hawks saturdays ours !!!!!
Super cool. 👌

Man I’m going to miss hearing clarkos pep talks:(
GO THE HAWKS!!!PREMIERS 08,13,14

and 2013 and 2015
One for the ages , DELICIOUS
well done hawks

I was there!!
Same
the song in the end made me upset because geelong lost and i feel upset. But hawthorn played well. go cats.

A team of champions will never beat a champion team. 84, 85, 87. Perfect examples.
Imagine Stewie Dew doing the Kokoda Trail omfg
Hoping for something similar this year someone has to beat geelong
now for 2013?
doesn't change the end result
In my top GF's since the turn of the century
7:32 ... well its not exactly john kennedy
***** What have we done since then? Finished top 4 for 4 straight seasons won back 2 back flags for the second time in our History did geelong go back to back in there dominant era? Oh don't worry i already know the answer and its a no because the Hawks out played them haha
Dimitri Marras hawks are has beens ya flogger
The mutha fuckas made me cry that day...up the hawks💪
I reckon you're still hurting after 2008
Wasn't that Geelong played "shit" at all, some of them played selfish (not including Ablett) which took them out of the game in the end.
haha thanks for the laugh, but it's only an opinion
Remember also it wasn't that long ago those 'inspirational' supporters were calling for Clarkson's head, not to mention your ex president. In 9 years with the team Hawthorn has/had they should have won 2-3 flags.
Well we won 4...
*WHO*
*IS*
*AUSTRALIA*
1:28 practising diving lol
Mates for life ? Is Buddy a mate of any of these guys today ?
They're mates of course. But on the field you've got to focus and not let your ex-teammates get to your head.
yes actually he is.In fact he is with most of them
Drugs do funny things to people and that's why he left cos he was drug fucked and thought Sydney would change it for him and they haven't. Hahaha
Rush behind.
Rush behind.
Walk behind.
Kick behind.
Rushed behind
win game
@@traceyzamora9895 Bring the game into such disrepute that the AFL is forced to change the rush behind rules the very next year.
@@thechemistamvs5033 win game. How good was Dew in the third? Turned the game on it's head!
@@traceyzamora9895 Dew was good, no doubt.
Yeah and Eagles beat Collingwood in the 2018 granny. Doesn't mean it wasn't interfering with a marking contest.

Sorry but Clarkson isn't inspirational at all
MrRealityCheck88 biggest gf upset ever, not inspirational?
