From the Past - Hawks

[Bornadog]

The Hawks are one team we have a good record against, although they have gotten on top of us over the past 5 years.

Total Played 156, Won 75, drawn 2 and lost 79.

The last time we beat them was round 3, 2010. Round 14, 2010 was close with a 3 point difference.

Round 14, 2009 was a beauty with the half time score 13.10 to the Hawks 0.4. That was the year following on from the premiership.

What are your great memories of beating the Hawks.

1982. Neil Bristow kicking the winner in almost his first game.

1983. Beat them comfortably at Princes Park early in the season to lock in a good run of form we were having with good wins against top teams from the year before early in the season for the first time in many seasons. We had won against the top 3 teams from the year before by round 5.

1985. We beat Hawthorn in driving rain by less than a goal at the Western Oval to make sure of a top 3 finish and the double chance in the finals.

Every 75 of them! (not that I've seen them all). Got a family full of mustard pot barrackers and
it's always nice to knock them off.

Re: From the Past - Hawks

I remember going to a game as a kid at Waverley in 1990, I was sitting in the AFL members close to the boundary.

Doug kicked it short and it was intercepted by a Hawks player and we were punished for it. I remember Doug coming off the ground screaming at himself "I'm a f...... idiot I am" and punching the wooden fence signage. He went a little bananas.

We ended up winning 91-73, and it is one of my earliest positive coherent footy memories. Here's the stats sheet:

Great call on this one Twodogs.
Remember it being played on my 15th birthday.I was crook as a dog laid up in bed with the flu and couldn't go with my dad to the game.
Was glued to the radio all day and was the best birthday present I could have asked for.
Remember watching the replay that night on 7 with Landy and Lou and pretty sure it was The Hawk who kicked thewinning goal.
ABSOLUTLEY AWESOME MEMORY!!!!

Re: From the Past - Hawks

Not such a great memory of them killing us at Waverley in 82 ( reckon it was 150 pts
Waverley 96 also not a great memory ( dunstall kicked 13)
1987 early year after coming off 3 massive losses beating them at the W/O

Re: From the Past - Hawks

Definite favourite victory over the Hawks was EJ's last game, 2nd May, 1970. Luckily the rain hid the Footscray tears that day, particularly when the magnificent banner, provided by the Hawks cheer squad, was unfurled in front of the Footscray player's race.

I still have the Footy Record from game day, cost ten cents.

Sorry forget what I said. I was thinking of a different game

Re: From the Past - Hawks

Two games that I can recall:

Darren Pritchard kicks a point at the WO and the Hawks tie it up late.

Big brawl at Waverly the result of a pre game wager by Hawks players in the rooms. Danny Southern done for wrestling?

I think that Danny is still the only player to be suspended for wrestling.
