It was my first ever final. My first ever Friday night game at the G. The biggest crowd I’ve ever seen. And probably my favourite game I’ve ever attended by a very long stretch. I haven’t been more proud to be a hawks fan in over a decade. Roll on the Power match. Win or lose that I’m so proud of the boys
What a way to pop your cherry 😂 Jealous mate. People three blocks down the road would of heard me cheering on the Boys on Friday. Life time supporter and happiest moment I've had as a Hawks finatic
Congrats Daz! Just a saints fan who probably should be nauseated by all this considering you just came off a three-peat about 5 minutes ago but bloody hell, those hawks are fun to watch!
They were magnificent. I thought the enthusiasm and camaraderie these blokes displayed in both their play and celebrations, made them a joy to behold plus they are a seriously fantastic team. I must say I will be shattered if we dont see at least one vid where the Daz is wearing a Wizards hat.
@@riversonthemoon100% is. Next week revenge against port then revenge against Sydney then revenge against gws or the cats. Can you imagine a hawks vs cats gf the rivalry’s still there
One of my favourite things of the whole night was seeing a hint of aggression from Calsher. He has always been agressive at the ball and man in play, but the little shove he gave after taking the mark late in the third makes me think he is really starting to believe he not only belongs out there but can intimidate oponents too. He is going to be a big boy when he starts shaving. His body looks more like his uncle at the moment but if he fills out through the legs and shoulders like gis dad, he will be a formiddable presence
I think a fair chunk of the blame does go to Beveridge, when the game was slipping away from them, the one guy (obviously Bont) with the talent, power and skills to get them back into it was standing at half forward, a kick in front of the play. Nothing made me happier than seeing him NOT in the centre and in the thick of every stoppage.
@@daztalksfooty Yeah, I agree, he should call the shots. It is hard to know how much freedom any coach gives his players to make those decisions. If the coach says "I want you at half forward" do you disobey? That decision probably should have come from both of them, but if Bont has the freedom to go where he wants and isn't then it is up to Beveridge to tell him to get his ass in the middle and impact the game. Either way, I am glad neither thought it was a good idea.
@@spindoctor6385 It could simply be Bont couldn't get possession simply the other team was better. Sicily had a quite night in previous games, and Sam Mitchell moved him to the forward and kicks 3 games. Sometimes switching position works well, so hard to say about the decision.
Well done on the win. Props to the hawks powers that be that backed in Mitchell and let clarko go firstly. That's a big brave move. On mitchell, couldn't be more impressed. In an interview this year he mentioned 3 years ago he had to ask himself what is footy going to look like in three years and train his team to play that way. So when they were good, they had 3 years experience already of modern footy while other teams were new to it. He seems to have nailed that After Dusty's 300 game, he spoke about how same games are events and footy games and how it was an opportunity to play in front of a big crowd and get something like a finals atmosphere. The guy is always thinking big picture.
Wow! What a win by the hok, what an incredible team, the way they cut teams up and the way that they run for 4 quarters... that was some sort of win daz Hawks are making a preliminary final, wouldn't be surprised if they go all the way
Hey Daz, what a win. I was spewing this game was announced for Friday night. As the mrs and I had Iron Maiden & Killswitch Engage tickets at Rod Laver Arena which we got months ago. Anyway, my plan was to park at crown and basically b-line straight to the car and go home and watch the game (as I recorded it) I made it all the way to South Bank near Flinders Street before hearing a familiar voice yell "I'm planning my trip to Adelaide for next week boys" I turn around and that person was Robert "Dipper" DiPierdomenico. I put two and two together instantly and the results was spoiled for me. But, if I'm gonna have spoilers from anybody. I'd want to be a Hawthorn legend. I'm patiently waiting for Sydney vs Giants game. I think Hawks chances of making a grand final significantly improve if we play the Giants over Sydney
Great off the cuff summary mate. D'Ambrosio getting back to help out the defence is superb and never gets a mention. So happy to see Ward play that well, best game for the club so far IMO. Watson started inaccurately, now sitting at 22.26 (IIRC). Go Hawks.
Your Hawks will smash the Power. That loss to Port courtesy of 2 goals in the last 23 seconds will be a distant memory after you send them packing in straight sets again. When you get to the prelim anything is possible. No team has performed better than the Hawks over the last 3 months and regardless of where you finish this year, next year the Hawks will be favourite to win the whole shebang. I'm very jealous of what the Hawks have achieved and how quickly they've transformed from no good to excellent.
Ooooooh you smug bugger hahaha. LOVE IT!!! You just gotta appreciate this wildcard roll of a dice mantra the Hawks got going with this! And rightfully so in what is such a raw performance of momentum and lethality. Bottom 4 side last year, top 8 finals contending side for the silverware. It's a fairytale to get behind so what's not to love?! Won't ask if you've changed your mind/tune as it's both their first year's. But is there an inclination of change mate, with your thoughts on North taking Durrsma and then yourselves with Watson? I know you were pretty cut on missing out on Durrsma but Watson certainly has come on in this fresh flying environment. Is there an inclineling feeling of change of heart?
I was there last night , such a great atmosphere. All credit to Sicily however we can’t afford to be as wasteful as we were at times in front of goal. Go Hawks
Was wondering if you where going to be in any state to make a video, Hawks are not my favorite team, but my hats of to the manic youthful enthusiasm they have.
I went to that game, level 4 and you could literally feel the grandstand shake and wobble at times. It was crazy. Took me 45 minutes to get from the ground to Richmond station tho hahah unreal win
no WIll Day; quiet days from Gunston, Chol, Breust, Weddle, and even Worpel; with Ward maybe having his best game? No what one might expect, and they still won. Wow
Good observation. It was great to see Ward have a good game. It took Will Day a couple of years to really start to blossom, and if it takes josh a bit longer, well so be it: but the potential is certanily there.
As a bombers fan, it pains me to say this, but congrats. I've always respected and admired the hawthorn football club. So consistently successful over the last 50 odd years. Also re D'Ambrosio...makes me physically ill seeing how well he's playing.
What a great win for the Hawks ! I always knew at West Coast Sam Mitchell was going to be a good coach. His communication with players is exemplary. In 2 years the Hawks will be top 4 with Barrass and Battle.
The interview with Ian Dicker and BT after encapsulated the romance of the night. In 2016, Izzy missed that after the siren goal against Geelong which led to us facing the Dogs in a semi the following week. The dogs put the dynasty to bed, most notably The Bont BEATING Hodgey soundly that night. 8 years later... the Hollywood HOK era has arrived against the team that not only ended the Three-Peat dynasty but also set our 2024 run off after Moorey told the boys to bring the mouthguards 🤎💛 #nolimits
Good chat, can't see Frosty losing his place in the team after how he has gone this year. Dare I say it but is Barrass surplus to requirements? Blanck will be back available and the undersized backline has low key been a massive strength for us this year. Battle is worth bringing in as a FA but don't really see much point in going for Barrass unless we get him cheap (I know, he's a gun KPD, but I just love the way our backline has operated this year).
As a port fan... I truly hope the hok demolish us. 80+ again and it might wake everyone up to push Hinkley alongside most of our driftwood out the door.
Honestly, I really enjoyed your little passionate-stream-of-consciousness-awestruck-happy post match analysis here. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I agree with everything you said. I though Harry Morrison was a little better than you have suggested here, but everything else you nailed it. Great stuff. I have been watching Hawthorn play since the 70's, believe it or not. I was at the game where Leigh Matthews broke a point post. I remember well Greg dear and Paul Dear playing. (I don't know which one of those two is Calsher's father.) But here is the point. I have never seen a more joyful Hawthorn side. I have seen Hawthorn teams that are tougher. More disciplined. More Star studded. More experienced certainly. But I have never seen such joy in playing the game. And I really believe that joy can be just as powerful motivator as passion, training and experience. Certainly not a replacement for those things, but a crucial ingredient. Yeah, joy is the only word that really describes what Hawthorn has. And I have never seen anything like the Hawthorn I am watching now. Go Hawks. And thanks again for your enthusiasm for the game and your insights. Port Adelaide should be nervous about next week. Because we are coming. Cheers. :)
How bloody good was that? Calsher and the Wiz standing up in their first final, and Sicily and Nuke are built for September. No passengers. Even Dylan Moore had a "bad" game with 17 possessions.
@@fuzz7981 Not his best game by a long way, but he bought a few balls to ground, he dragged Lobb away from contests, he put body on others allowing Calsher to fly. He took a few ruck contests to spread the load. I think he might have been pretty sore after landing when he flew for that first big mark.
@@spindoctor6385 of course there was bright spots. By and large he would be really disappointed. You could see it on his face in the dying minutes while he was being consoled by Mitchell. Too many times he didn’t bring the ball to ground when he was in a less than ideal spot. Too many marks slipped through his fingers. He has the skill, it was just an off night. We are lucky to have such an even spread across the field that can make up for it.
So it can now be a Cats V Hawks GF, if that happens will it be the mature we have done this before of Geelong v the youthful LETSS GOOOOO of the Hawks.
Hawks were more hungry for the ball and deserve to win I'm a proud hawks supporter and bring on the power next week it will be good to see another win at the Adelaide oval
Earlier in the year, after our first win of the season, i joked to you about booking an appointment at your local tattooist for next year to get ''Premiers 2025' inked........You just never know.....with a bit of luck, maybe i got the year wrong!!!
What can we really say. I was there, it was electric. What ever happens from here, yu can't have anything but admiration for our Hawks. They are exciting to watch. I am sure they will watch the last Port game and they will be out for revenge. C'arn the Hawks
Josh Ward, 9 tackles number one on the ground for that. HUGGGE I've said it before and I'll say it again him and Cam Mac are the next Lewis and Mitchell. Macdonald a star 86% disposal efficiency. Ginni 3 goal assets.as well. Hawthorn are so even through the middle, missing Will Day was never a problem. Newcombe has gone from 20-25 disposals a game with Will day to 30-35 without him. Just picking up the slack until he gets back.
Eagles fan, I would think I would hate this narrative for the same reason I hate that Geelong are doing well (the same teams having success) but somehow I don't, I kind of like this Hawks team and I'm happy for them, they deserve success. As the Geelong song (ironically) goes, they play the game as it should be played. Was going for the Bulldogs (my second team having lived in Footscray for some time), but if its not GWS or Brisbane wouldnt mind seeing a fairytale/underdog win.
I had my last can 1 hr ago ah ah ah lol Sam.mitchell is a legend an athletes athlete till he retired even after he was a premiership champion he was aways at bottom of pack in the mud grunting it out that's why I said to everyone even when they were zip and 5 I said when he imprints his approach the hawks will fire and even this year and guess what it happened and I knew it would happen when all the nay sayers were negative on the other hand port have a serious attitude legends in their own paperback culture
Brother. You need to say something about how ever personality in footy was backing the dogs to win the only people who backed the hawks was Clarko, Dixon and Lewis.. everyone else had the dogs..
Dogs supporter here. I'm disappointed but not suicidal. The only match worth winning is the GF, and we'll see what happens. I'm still comfortable with the Dogs winning a flag from 7th. Can the Hawks replicate that? Tough ask, and I'm thinking Geelong will do it. That's my 2 cents worth.
We were missing Daysy and Frenchy.... didn't matter. Newk and Worps stepped up Mabior and Moorey didn't have their best days... didn't matter. Calsh and the mozzy fleet did the job We missed some gettable set shot goals .. didn't matter. We dominated field position and had plenty of scoring opportunities Bontempelli's influence was largely quelled...mattered a whole frikkin lot! A champion team will usually beat a team of champions. Just sayin'
As a sth Australian, when both Adelaide and then port joined I had a good excuse to turn my back on the Hawks and start supporting either side...........😂😂😂😂😂😂💛🤎💛🤎💛🤎
I think we did a great job containing the Dogs and never allowing their talls to find any rhythm via our elite pressure. Meeky is a nightmare match up for English too - has the motor to operate around the ground AND is a physical ruck who is good when it comes to hit outs. Great team win.
I think everyone is forgetting that 3 losses by under a goal this year had gone the other way, we finish 2nd on the ladder behind the Swans on percentage. This really shouldn't be the surprise that everyone is making it out to be, just going to make it all the sweeter the further we go into Sept. Go Hawks No limit💛🤎💛🤎💛🤎

Finally a opportunity to get revenge on that heartbreaker in round 10
Absolutely!
Our path forward could be a revenge tour. Port, then Sydney or GWS, and then probably Geelong.
That still hurts
@@riversonthemoon100% is. Next week revenge against port then revenge against Sydney then revenge against gws or the cats. Can you imagine a hawks vs cats gf the rivalry’s still there
I love this group, I love Sam Mitchell, I love HOK. This group is so special, and I can’t wait to see where to from here!

No it isn't.

Must also admit I was very happy with Thursday night.
Pretty, pretty good.
Brother. You need to say something about how ever personality in footy was backing the dogs to win the only people who backed the hawks was Clarko, Dixon and Lewis.. everyone else had the dogs..
Actually, 8/18 tipsters in Herald Sun on Friday
Dogs supporter here. I'm disappointed but not suicidal. The only match worth winning is the GF, and we'll see what happens.
I'm still comfortable with the Dogs winning a flag from 7th. Can the Hawks replicate that? Tough ask, and I'm thinking Geelong will do it. That's my 2 cents worth.
I respect that mate, fingers crossed for a positive off-season
If we win next week do we play prelim in Sydney or the G
Sydney
So is it 2 prelims in Sydney if GWS win
and now the Hawks have to finish off the minor round superstars in Adelaide next week.
Yes please
We were missing Daysy and Frenchy.... didn't matter. Newk and Worps stepped up
Mabior and Moorey didn't have their best days... didn't matter. Calsh and the mozzy fleet did the job
We missed some gettable set shot goals .. didn't matter. We dominated field position and had plenty of scoring opportunities
Bontempelli's influence was largely quelled...mattered a whole frikkin lot!
A champion team will usually beat a team of champions. Just sayin'

He was simply unbelievable
Ken hinkley abd the whole port fanbase are shitting themself
Impey limped off.. Lets hope nothing serious
Word at this stage is he's fine
Call your kid Wat Son or Wat Dear
I just hope we beat the most undeserving team in the AFL, yes that's you port adelaide
Yes please!
Hawks flag to lose. Obviously most in form team in the comp.
Chol delivered one of the worst finals performances ever. Seriously need to consider dropping him next game.
Structurally he'll be important for next week. He'll be fine, didn't happen for him last night but he'll bounce back
Bulldogs got robbed 13-22 free kick count.

I think we did a great job containing the Dogs and never allowing their talls to find any rhythm via our elite pressure. Meeky is a nightmare match up for English too - has the motor to operate around the ground AND is a physical ruck who is good when it comes to hit outs.
Great team win.
I think everyone is forgetting that 3 losses by under a goal this year had gone the other way, we finish 2nd on the ladder behind the Swans on percentage. This really shouldn't be the surprise that everyone is making it out to be, just going to make it all the sweeter the further we go into Sept. Go Hawks No limit💛🤎💛🤎💛🤎
Limitless my friend!
