I HATE WATCHING SOCCER. IT'S THE MOST BORING SPORT IN THE WORLD. AFL, CRICKET (TWENTY20), RUGBY UNION ARE ALL THE BEST SPORTS IN THE WORLD, NOTHING BEATS AFL. This game is Amazing!!
Game of the Year (Hawks Fan), we had our chances early on to run away and unfortunately that's that. How could either team go on to win the GF after this game? Just to think that Hawthorn were running at about 80-85% during this game in terms of injuries and missed out by one kick on making a GF. Gives you a lot to think about 2012 doesn't it?
that was the game of the year, and i cant wait for the start of the season. I wouldnt mind another tight one but obviously the same result. AFL is the most watched both on tv and live, and has the biggest memberships in the world,(per head of population). No sport comes close, believe it or not soccer ranks a long long way behinde AFL. CANT WAIT 'TIL FEB WHEN WE HGET TO SEE THIS GREAT GAME ALBEIT NAB CUP.
@pies4536 Actually ALF is the 3 most attended sport in the world. First is Italian Soccer league, then NFL then AFL. Both of those games require the fans to make up obnoxious chants just to keep the crowds interested whereas AFL we don't have time for that shit because its flat out action packed.......Unless you watch St Kilda play :-)
@aaai30 not to mention SF 2005 Sydney v Geelong where Nick Davis kicked four goals all in the last quarter to lead Sydney to a thrilling three point win.
@aaai30 West Coast vs Carlton the week before this game was a close second for game of the year. I was hoping for a Carlton win because they play alright against the Cats and a Hawks Carlton Grand Final would have been great (I think that's what we'll get in 2012). Pity both were knocked out by less than a kick.
This game gave me chills. Buddy's goal was arguably the best I've ever seen. In that moment, in that position, to make something out of nothing, fucking incredible. Australian rules take a bow - epic is an understatement.
THE GREATEST GAME IN THE WORLD. PERIOD! I JUST LOVE AFL AND HATE PEOPLE WHO SAY SOCCER IS BETTER AS TBH, SOCCER IS THE MOST BORING SPORT IN THE WORLD!
im a hawks supporter and i have to day that was one of the best games i have ever seen. both teams were hungry to win. I have to say that the umpiring could have been better, with some mistakes going both ways, but this game i will remember forever!
Anyone remember what happened the week after this...? Oh, that's right, Collingfilth got beaten again in another grand final. So whilst they were lucky to get out of jail in 2010, and in this game, they couldn't get it done again. And now Leon Donuts Davis won't be in the side. Prepare for an onslaught of continuous LOSER taunts in 2012, Pie fans.
FRANKLIN IS A TRUE GOD/ MAGGIES I HATE UR GUTS FOR LOSING AGAINST GEELONG, MAXWELL PRANCES AROUND THE FIELD LIKE A GIRL ENJOY A MISSERABLE 2012. HAWKS PREMS 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best game of the year NOT telecast live into Perth! Thank goodness for Foxtel next year where they'll broadcast ALL nine games including Friday Night footy in HD.
This game, after 2 years, it beats collingwood vs adelaide 2009 final. finally this game was even more amazing than that. this game contains a huge memory, not only because of the win but because the place i spent watching it. GO Pies, its ok, we lost against Geelong, let's no wine about it and wait till next year! GO PIES <3
@subymy98 Yeah I totally agree, We had a great season and it just faded towards the end of the year due to out of form players and injuries but Mick would of been happy for all the good and bad he has had with Collingwood this year and previous.
You all smart assess are just jealous of Collingwood club as your own clubs are disgrace ... Pies have done it 13 times way better then cats ! It was grand final and string team won ! Now quit winging and go upport your puny clubs ! Go pies ... We will do it again !
I'm glad Collingwood beat the Hawks...gave the mighty Cats the chance to embarrass the 'Flagpies" who were so cocky all year about how fricken great they r and how they r gonna win back to back flags, Geelong sure put them in their place...CATS PREMIERS '11
@whoarethebrainpigs "Mr September Leon Davis' performance (again in finals), Allan Didak handful of possies and Jarryd Blair's 3 disposals for the entire game = no grand final! Therefore your comment = FAIL!
Didnt deserve to be there and it showed in the end when you got an arse kicking and we Hawks fans enjoyed it the most! Your just lucky you had a good coach. Love to see Bucks in that situation. Thanks Geelong and good on eddie and bucks for knifing Malthouse the way he did.
@fabl1980 mate...why did you assume i was a Slagpie fan ????i dont barrack for either team and I was as pissed off with the result as i've been for any game.i've watched for years .the tv remote was very lucky to survive that night,, fuck I was pissed off . I was simply observing that Hodge didnt go back inboard on his right foot and kick forward he passed to captain stumbles bateman who could've gone on his left but tried to run around on his right..got caught.. game over!!
@whoarethebrainpigs Number 1, I'm not you're mate. Number 2, nowhere did I mention that you were a pies fan in my first response. I was merely stating stats on the grand final like you did for the prelim final for my argument that the Pies should not have been there. Plus I hardly doubt that the inability of 2 players to kick on there non preffered foot cost them the game. Missed opportunites did! I'm pretty certain most AFL teams have players that can only kick on the one side. FAIL!
@fabl1980 number one,smart arse ,,get fucked !!,,number 2 you werent in the G.F because you fucking LOST, why would hawthorn deserve to be there ahead of a side they could'nt beat with a 4 goal start??total FAIL cuntox.
@whoarethebrainpigs Learn to spell and type correctly then get back to me with a response that people can read and make sense of. I don't care for your uneducated response. FAIL!
@fabl1980 listen !,when I want advice on grammatical conventions I'll consult the Oxford Concise and Fowler's ..not someone who cannot even comprehend their own writing ,, if you can read your reply, you clearly refer to "you got an,"..etc ,"your" .sic(,incorrect word, stupid ) obviously indicating you assumed I was a pies fan ,then deny it, actually the more I read that response the less sense it makes.,blair,didak,davis = no grand final!! sorry dumbcunt ..collingwood DID make the G.F!
@whoarethebrainpigs I love the fact that you just had a go at me about correct spelling and grammar, yet you continue to make those very same mistakes on that very same response.
As a one eyed Collingwood supporter, i really want to hate Buddy for being so good (not to mention carving us up so many times over the years) but i can't . Fuck he is good
Seems I was wrong by judging all/most Hawks supporters as sore losers after reading some of the recent comments. Yes losing sucks, but as a Pies fan who remembers the 80's and 90's well, you learn to suck it up and move on. Not dwelling and bitching over the 'If's'.
Anyone who thinks AFL isn't the greatest game in the world just needs to watch this match. As a Hawks supporter I was gutted with the result and it still hurts to watch this, but damn it was an amazing ride! Buddy's goal was one of the greatest moments I've ever witnessed, it's a shame the Hawks couldn't get the result that the goal deserved
The umpires may have dudded us in the last quarter but their errors were not as crucial as some misses we had during the game. We lost fair and square.
@darkhawk1979 Yes footy is a great game but the greatest game in the world is stretching it a bit.Soccer the real football is the best game in the world that's why it's called The world game.
@TheDsorda Actually it's called the "World Game" because it is the most widely watched and played football code, and this is mainly because it requires the cheapest equipment and isn't intimidating like Aussie Rules, NHL, NFL etc.
Don't get me wrong, I like soccer and play Futsal every Monday night, I just can't see another football code being as constantly enthralling as AFL, as this game showcased.
As a Hawks supporter i'm gutted about this game, but we lost it for ourselves. Sure, the umpires might have missed a few free kicks here and there, but we should have iced the game in the third quarter anyway. Bateman's turnover were costly too
Great sportsmanship showed by the players after the game. Acknowledging one of the great finals. As a Hawks supporter it was gut wrenching, but that's footy, that's footy. Pies are not one our rivals so I'm okay with the loss. If it was North Melbourne or Essendon I'd be raging for the rest of my life haha. Pies will win the GF on the back of this.
Fuck you Hawthorn supporters whinge and complain! You didn't beat Collingwood or Geelong the whole year, the 2 best teams are in the Grand Final anyway! You are nothing but a bunch of old whinging cry babies who need to grow a pair and suck it up!
The only thing that didn't happen for Hawthorn was the siren going immediately after the "Buddy goal""... suck it up Hawthorn. Why don't you complain that the Thomas tackle on Rioli was in the back!! Hawks were the more aggressive and controlling team and yet couldn't pull away. Suck it up, it's been 20 years since we've been in a position like this with a team capable of winning finals. 20 long YEARS!! We may not win a flag ever again, but when it comes around you take every opportunity.
Umpires didnt throw away a 4 goal lead, collingwood were just too good in the end, had more and desire to win, umpires were dodgy all night both ways, and this pains me to say as im a carlton supporter, but this is fact
@chirmchirm can - because they have brilliance. We played injured. We have lost 5 of our starting lineup including a forward in Roughhead that would have put your little boy Obrien to the sword if he'd played. But like I said - keep on believing that your side deserved it mate. Sore loser? Yup. Your side is lucky - or protected. I mean hey which is the bigger crowd in a grand final anyway? Magpies V Cats or Hawks V Cats? Thats how I think a couple of those "silly" little umpiring errors
@cggr100 just shows how biased and oblivious to the fact collingwood were better that you didnt even read that i said i am a carlton supporter, i dont care about the rest of the jibberish you wrote, coz its all shit, there was burgoynes holding the ball after advantage that wasnt paid and dawes push in the back also, few dodgy ones both ways, pies too classy in the end... end comments
@chirmchirm happen late in games I'm sure. And no - we don't get the GF this year - but looking at the state of the supporters from collingwood I came across on friday night - you all need a good wash - and to stop spending your baby bonuses on football. Grubs. Bogan trash. But enjoy the win - hope its enough to make the rest of your pov-arse life seem ok. Not being a sore loser - but life is what it is chum.
@liltwang Mate - F&*ck off. I dont care what you think. About anything. Or about you - or about your pack of illiterate bogans that you support. I certainly wont be watching what will be one of the more boring GFs in recent memory - Cats? Whatever? Centrelink Magpies, Malthouse? whatever. That annoying little bitch of a carsalesman that does the millionaire show - whatever. Dime a dozen mate. You - your team... hawks were brilliant - flawed, injured, umpire screwed - but brilliant.
@cggr100 Mate, I support Geelong.. One of the more boring Grand Finals? You must have alzheimer's. You can't remember 2007 when Geelong won by 119 points? How about 2008 when Hawthorn 'stole' a Grand Final on the back of Geelong's poor kicking and ELEVEN rushed behinds! The rule was changed because of that game! The 2009 low scoring Grand Final? This year will be a massive game between two teams that have CLEARLY been the best all year. You're just sour 'cause your over-rated team isn't there.
@chirmchirm agreed. enough of this "if the umpires had of called that our way we would have won" nonsense. thats bullshit. there were so called 'bad calls' either way.... why? because its a preliminary final, the umpires did the right thing in a huge game, dont be picky with little free kicks, just let it go, and let the two teams play the game.. collingwood were just too good in the end, and the umpires were great for letting the game flow
@willo18795 : take a look at 3:10 left....I guess the umpire made Schoenmakers drop that uncontested mark?? UNCONTESTED!!!!, this forces a stoppage and Ball scores the winning goal 15 seconds later. Schoenmakers lost it for the Hawks right there. He should hang his head as a professional footballer for that clanger that cost his team a GF place. Collingwood don't need help from umpires when opposition players stuff up all by themselves.
Ive never seen a team dominate a game of afl so much and end up losing it. What a disgusting display. How broken our sport has become when the favourites will just win even when they have no answer and are getting beaten. Good job umpires!
To all the Hawks supporters that are crying re free kicks, PLEEEEASE, they let the game flow as they ALWAYS do in tight finals. PLENTY of frees would've gone our way too if it was any other time of the year eg Burgoyne dropping the ball after choosing to take the advantage rule. The fact is you CHOKED and choked HARD.
Look, you're not good enough, simple as that. 0 - 5 against the 2 GF teams who just happen to be the 2 top teams all year. Simply put, that means you're just not that GOOD...
@SonyCamry hahaha that push in the back you're on about at 1:27 has to be a joke right? Then the holding the ball afterwards was stiff not to be an in the back free kick to Dawes
@SonyCamry Then how about you umpire if you think there was so many free kicks. Stop complaining and trying to make the game even weaker than Demetriou has.
as a neutral fan the better team clearly prevailed ... the pies have played at a MUCH higher standard than the hawks for a longer ... in this epic battle they played WELL below their best and still won the game. It looked like the hawks threw everything at them and still lost.
@itsfullysick during the game when the pies were losing, i saw a collingwood blog where members were saying things like "want my money back after this pathetic performance"
@itsfullysick Rubbish. Magpies lucked in here. 3 key free kicks not given:
1) Hodge deep in Hawks forward line for over shoulder Vs 50m penalty given against Savage for what?! Cost a goal
2) Holding onto Gibson by Magpie full forward - clearly missed - cost a goal
Also Hawks own worst enemies with 3 key missed goals and Batemans effort last quarter with 3 turnovers was just crazy - he's heading for the margin bin in trade season I think.
@itsfullysick Not sore losers though mate - I remember you guys last year after the final round loss bitching after that game for weeks (until Magpies won the flag). You won - a win is a win. We should have - and you and everyone else knows it - but just keep believing that the best side won if you like mate ;) - I'm sure the Cats will set that straight for you this week. You have a boring side - good players sure - but boring. You can't beat Geelong for that reason - Hawks, Sydney
Nice of the umps to ruin it in such a big game in the last mins. 4.38 no free kick and technically after that when rioli got tackled cause he did dispose of it in a decent timeframe...thats play on in my book in the heat of the game..just let them play ..
Man, this was a gutting loss. I just love the last couple of minutes though, where the players thank each other for a great game. In the middle of all that elation and bitter disappointment, there is a genuine sportsmanship and respect for the opponent on display that is heartwarming.
@BernValley & thats the way the game should be played hey? Bust your guts trying to win & commend each other after the game. I go for Collingwood but I have to admire the Hawks for the way they held themselves after that game.

As a Hawks supporter i'm gutted about this game, but we lost it for ourselves. Sure, the umpires might have missed a few free kicks here and there, but we should have iced the game in the third quarter anyway. Bateman's turnover were costly too

Great sportsmanship showed by the players after the game. Acknowledging one of the great finals. As a Hawks supporter it was gut wrenching, but that's footy, that's footy. Pies are not one our rivals so I'm okay with the loss. If it was North Melbourne or Essendon I'd be raging for the rest of my life haha. Pies will win the GF on the back of this.

The only thing that didn't happen for Hawthorn was the siren going immediately after the "Buddy goal""... suck it up Hawthorn. Why don't you complain that the Thomas tackle on Rioli was in the back!! Hawks were the more aggressive and controlling team and yet couldn't pull away. Suck it up, it's been 20 years since we've been in a position like this with a team capable of winning finals. 20 long YEARS!! We may not win a flag ever again, but when it comes around you take every opportunity.

Umpires didnt throw away a 4 goal lead, collingwood were just too good in the end, had more and desire to win, umpires were dodgy all night both ways, and this pains me to say as im a carlton supporter, but this is fact

@chirmchirm can - because they have brilliance. We played injured. We have lost 5 of our starting lineup including a forward in Roughhead that would have put your little boy Obrien to the sword if he'd played. But like I said - keep on believing that your side deserved it mate. Sore loser? Yup. Your side is lucky - or protected. I mean hey which is the bigger crowd in a grand final anyway? Magpies V Cats or Hawks V Cats? Thats how I think a couple of those "silly" little umpiring errors

@cggr100 just shows how biased and oblivious to the fact collingwood were better that you didnt even read that i said i am a carlton supporter, i dont care about the rest of the jibberish you wrote, coz its all shit, there was burgoynes holding the ball after advantage that wasnt paid and dawes push in the back also, few dodgy ones both ways, pies too classy in the end... end comments

@chirmchirm happen late in games I'm sure. And no - we don't get the GF this year - but looking at the state of the supporters from collingwood I came across on friday night - you all need a good wash - and to stop spending your baby bonuses on football. Grubs. Bogan trash. But enjoy the win - hope its enough to make the rest of your pov-arse life seem ok. Not being a sore loser - but life is what it is chum.

That annoying little bitch of a carsalesman that does the millionaire show - whatever. Dime a dozen mate. You - your team... hawks were brilliant - flawed, injured, umpire screwed - but brilliant.

@cggr100 Mate, I support Geelong.. One of the more boring Grand Finals? You must have alzheimer's. You can't remember 2007 when Geelong won by 119 points? How about 2008 when Hawthorn 'stole' a Grand Final on the back of Geelong's poor kicking and ELEVEN rushed behinds! The rule was changed because of that game! The 2009 low scoring Grand Final? This year will be a massive game between two teams that have CLEARLY been the best all year. You're just sour 'cause your over-rated team isn't there.

@chirmchirm agreed. enough of this "if the umpires had of called that our way we would have won" nonsense. thats bullshit. there were so called 'bad calls' either way.... why? because its a preliminary final, the umpires did the right thing in a huge game, dont be picky with little free kicks, just let it go, and let the two teams play the game.. collingwood were just too good in the end, and the umpires were great for letting the game flow

@willo18795 : take a look at 3:10 left....I guess the umpire made Schoenmakers drop that uncontested mark?? UNCONTESTED!!!!, this forces a stoppage and Ball scores the winning goal 15 seconds later. Schoenmakers lost it for the Hawks right there. He should hang his head as a professional footballer for that clanger that cost his team a GF place. Collingwood don't need help from umpires when opposition players stuff up all by themselves.

Ive never seen a team dominate a game of afl so much and end up losing it. What a disgusting display. How broken our sport has become when the favourites will just win even when they have no answer and are getting beaten. Good job umpires!

To all the Hawks supporters that are crying re free kicks, PLEEEEASE, they let the game flow as they ALWAYS do in tight finals. PLENTY of frees would've gone our way too if it was any other time of the year eg Burgoyne dropping the ball after choosing to take the advantage rule. The fact is you CHOKED and choked HARD.
Look, you're not good enough, simple as that. 0 - 5 against the 2 GF teams who just happen to be the 2 top teams all year. Simply put, that means you're just not that GOOD...

as a neutral fan the better team clearly prevailed ... the pies have played at a MUCH higher standard than the hawks for a longer ... in this epic battle they played WELL below their best and still won the game. It looked like the hawks threw everything at them and still lost.

@itsfullysick Rubbish. Magpies lucked in here. 3 key free kicks not given:
1) Hodge deep in Hawks forward line for over shoulder Vs 50m penalty given against Savage for what?! Cost a goal
2) Holding onto Gibson by Magpie full forward - clearly missed - cost a goal
Also Hawks own worst enemies with 3 key missed goals and Batemans effort last quarter with 3 turnovers was just crazy - he's heading for the margin bin in trade season I think.
cggr100 5 months ago
@itsfullysick Not sore losers though mate - I remember you guys last year after the final round loss bitching after that game for weeks (until Magpies won the flag). You won - a win is a win. We should have - and you and everyone else knows it - but just keep believing that the best side won if you like mate ;) - I'm sure the Cats will set that straight for you this week. You have a boring side - good players sure - but boring. You can't beat Geelong for that reason - Hawks, Sydney

Nice of the umps to ruin it in such a big game in the last mins. 4.38 no free kick and technically after that when rioli got tackled cause he did dispose of it in a decent timeframe...thats play on in my book in the heat of the game..just let them play ..
