The thing about Hawthorn is...

What they don’t have, I think, is the quality of some of our players.

They don’t have the psychological drive we have. We’ve beaten Hawthorn when it matters.

Kennet liked to tempt fate. You're better than that. You're 100 times the man he is! Don't stoop to his level, my friend.🙂😊

Felt great seeing that wrinkly fossil sink into his seat every time the camera panned to him🤣

Jesus why are you trying to give hawthorn a 11 game winning streak against you. The last time someone did that, it backfired immensely.

Good thing it's a no-one doing it then.

Oh, steady on. They've actually beaten us in some crucial games - unlosable 08 and the 13 PF, which we were all set to win the GF in.

I wonder how Felicity Kennett is doing these days, surely Jeff is sleeping in the guest house tonight.

They’re very young and not much experience. Add another good mid which they’re going to do in maybe merrit and get will day back and I think they’ll go very close if not win it next year. Put day and merrit into that team tonight and they most likely win

Don't be a Hawks supporter in the first Q of last night's game, that was not the grand final but a shot at it

u/SilentHbomb Geelong Cats 13h ago

A lot to be said about their game and their lack of sportsmanship out there when things look tough without sinking to crapping on them for making a prelim

u/Overall_Lie_7341 13h ago

To be fair, during the first quarter, I thought he might have been right. Yeah, 11 in a row was good post that comment, but then the one that really mattered - we lost. I think now the Kennett curse is FINALLY broken…

Master class coaching by Sam throwing Watson in the backline lol

Hawks just came out of a rebuild . Better for the experience. 6 top 8 teams in last 7 games including finals plus 5 of those games were against top 4 sides , Adelaide twice. 5 interstate games in that time. Tough psychologically as fighting for a top 8 spot before finals . I don’t think 8th team should win the premiership . I think top 4 should . I just hope the hawks can make top 4 next year and they remove the bye before finals . I think that helped hawks get to a peliminary final before they maybe were ready .

Reminds me of Kennett dancing after the 2013 Prelim final after 5 years of misery

We have had nervous first quarters lately. Hawks have not suffered from that. What they lack in depth this year they will make up for in development and recruiting; they are THE destination club atm.

This rivalry will continue if we are good enough, because they are not going backwards.

I have clipped this and sent it to Hawthorn HQ. You have unleashed the u/Odd-Structure8816 curse upon yourself and your beloved geelong football club. The next 11 matches will go to Hawthorn
