Hannas has been massive in all 3 also. The forgotten rising star.

On The Chest wrote:Sky pilot - I agree with you about Buddy overated. Hang on, he was in the team of the year? When a team needs a key player in the biggest game of the year, Buddy did not produce. Shots at goal were kickable and were done by other players in the game. Yes he kicked a couple good ones, but the media promote him so much, they forget about how important the ones are that he misses. The ones he missed were important.

In the end, it was a good solid game and enjoyable to watch.
Well done to Clarkson. Represents the club in the highest manner. Gets frustrated at times and who wouldn't but with the media and no doubt on big stages, says it from the heart and a fantastic representative of the club

I agree this was a bloody good GF to watch. One of the best things about it was neither Collingwood or Port Power was involved - beautiful. As for Buddy, if I was a Hawthorn fan I'd be pissed off that they gave him Dermot Brereton's No23 guernsey. Dermie could play, he had a bit of class, he was outrageous, a personality. He is subsequently making a name for himself in the media. Where will Buddy be in 15 or 20 years? Probably selling used Kia's on the Gold Coast?

kidding me aren't u, apart from one or two frees it was a very under adjudicated game, how a GF should be. Even looking back on that deliberate out of bounds a few times it was the right decision, changed his mind and went for the line. Umps played no role in the game.

I agree with Jim. Hawks definitely got the rub of the green.
