Just how good are the Hawks?
Well, you would have thought hey...Collingwood sould have come out today and out on a better show considering last week (ANZAC Day) they thought they were so **** hot just because they beat a poor team like Essendon. Hawks have shown their supremacy today by thumping the Collywobbles...what better way to show such style by beating big swells like Collingwood. Go the Hawks!!!!!

Hawks are playing good football at the moment but still a long way to go before finals and might have peaked too early,not many rate Collingwood, and Geelong are in 2nd gear for the moment.

I didn't watch the game (mainly due to my abject hatred of both teams, and the greater interest in Geelong vs Brisbane), but it does nothing to change my opinion that Collingwood is serially overrated - final 8 probable, top four unlikely.

Trying hard to keep a lid on all our great wins so far, but gee it's hard especially here in Crowville/Powerland...great to see my boys doing so well, but the season is still long and anything could happen!!

I wasn't having a dig at your guys but the reality is you have alot of problems in your forwards and your ruck is weak. Rocca even though he didn't play wouldn't have mad any difference as the young Hawks defenders would have run of him all day.

Even though I don't like Collingwood I have alot of respect for most of their fans as no matter how good or bad the team is doing they still turn out to follow their team not like other club fans.

Collingwood i dont think they thought they were **** hot but they are simply just making up the numbers by seasons end, the Hawks and Cats r a mile ahead.
I think Hawthorn will win the flag, playing some excellent footy at the moment.
Our issue is we cant get the ball out of the centre, mitchell and hodge destroyed us. I felt sorry for Brown and Wakelin with the way the ball came in, they had no chance on buddy and roughead. Best forwardline in the league by a mile.
credit to the hawks, if we lose i want to lose to a side that does everything right and hawks r def that side.

I hope you mean 'poor' in a sympathetic sense. lol. The truth is the uninjured Essendon players were much better at playing crap than Collingwood were at playing well that day.

My early tip is a Hawthorn and Geelong Grand Final. That is unless both teams have to play each other in the semis and one gets knocked out. Geelong have shown their weaknesses but your boys are on fire and I'm hoping they get the flag.

I watched the hawks game and played irresistable footy. Buddy was on fire alond with roughead. Hawks a true challenger to geelong. Hawks and cats seem to be miles ahead of anyone at the moment!

I watched that whole game and Collingwood looked like seconds compared to the Hawks. The Hawks seemed stronger, more accurate and just faster in general. The commentators on channel ten were bangin on that Collingwood were still in it, but really I dont think they were ever really in it and if the hawks had of kicked straighter they would've smashed them by heaps more.

That's amusing - at no stage did the Foxtel commentators even consider the possibility that Geelong would lose, even with less than three goals' margin with half the final quarter remaining. Okay, they happened to be correct, but too often commentators get an idea in their head about how they think a game will go and just pretend their world is accurate.

They were trying to hype up all of the Pies players who were playing like C**P. I much prefer foxtels coverage of games, with no ad breaks during the game and in my opinion alot more interesting aerial camera shots, I'm considering getting it put back on so I can watch the DOGSVSYD game tomorrow. I dont think I could sit through an entire radio broadcast and I havent missed a Dogs game this season. Good win by the Blues BTW I was really impressed with their last quarter last night, great to see some records being broken by you guys and what a game by Carazzo..

maybe the Collingwood fans will admit how far they are behind the mighty Hawks.
