Yes Hawthorn!!! What an amazing first goal for our Worpedo! If we can beat Essendon's speed and pressure, this says a lot about what we're capable of producing in this year's finals series.

[@zixylol4739]

I’m a huge hawks fan I was shaking when last quarter it was close

[@sarahelmassri2983]

Me to

[@geoffreygong6741]

When Eddie said Breeuuuuuussssssssstttttttttt I cringed inside

[@jacopocarboncini5712]

Brilliant game!

[@lukebreust6156]

Amazing game! Finals here we come!

[@nudgyee2883]

is that really you like bruest because if so I'm like your biggest fan I reckon you'll get the coleman medal and 6 goals against the bulldogs was great

[@selwynneale5457]

I don't believe thats bruest anyone can do that

[@wowwe3011]

Mitch Brown is actually a beast

[@tonybloomfield5635]

How the hell did Aaron Francis cop a fine for a perfect bump???

[@mashek331]

Dons had some great passages of play but the Hawks just had that real edge in class. As a lifelong Dons man, I'm in awe of blokes like Gunston, Breust, Roughy and Burgoyne who kick goals out of no where with regular ease. Classy players.

[@mikecoad7640]

Fantastic game great.

[@martinpatricknotte8365]

Gud win HAWKS, Nop hawks vs umpire,

[@arsenaldailytransfernews]

This wasn't televised in Tassie :( Great win though!

[@cf_15]

WORPEDO 😍 great win hawkers

[@haydenk4006]

what a brilliant saturday afternoon game, skill level was extremely high for about 80% except for the Hawks first 5/10 minutes and middle of the second quarter for the bombers

[@comedybird9875]

Kaboom umpires helped u and I’m not a Essendon fan

[@shanemicallef8516]

Up the fucken hawkers keep up the great work we need too kick it up a gear but great win 💪💪💪.

[@haydenk4006]

umpires were fine, maybe fractionally on hawthorns side but not enough to change the result even in a 4 point win

[@cf_15]

I didn't watch it, just listened to it on radio so i dont know about any umps favouring or not

[@danieljoseph9553]

Awesome game Hawks!!! Mighty effort from the bombers.. Hawks get the WIN!

[@husseinelchamaa9880]

Go the hawks

[@mohamedkassab7245]

Go hawks

[@kat-uh5er]

Good game bad luck Bombers

[@merkx403]

STRINGER, great excitement from Eddie

[@frusch15aflbfdimore55]

CARN THE HAWKS!!! Can we beat Geelong next week?

[@darrenmiles-morland8038]

No.

[@termnater2637]

@@darrenmiles-morland8038 yes

[@MrAustinhb]

Goddard's really gotta hang up the boots

[@termnater2637]

Austin yeah him and heath shaw are floggs

[@albertobuth4576]

Your damn right

[@blakey-yq3gr]

Your extreamly right

[@terryrwest2657]

Go the Hawks!!!

[@ryanoconnor5030]

Um...… Yeah.... I don't think Essendon will make finals now. Unless we beat Richmond at the g.

[@nudgyee2883]

Yeh

[@24SEB149]

Bombers kicked the first three goals

[@dominic6867]

GREAT WIN to keep us in the finals chase if we get to finals 99.9% of our players of suspension and injury are back

[@diarmuidhynes3096]

Go hawks 🦅

[@termnater2637]

Epic Gamer both of our teams just won

[@joshuasteinke2588]

William F Roos were lucky. If the Lions player kicked a drop punt instead of a snap, you would have lost. Can't believe he did that.

[@ninettapapa6335]

I don't like Eddie McGuire but why do people hate him so much

[@zekejoycerobertson6711]

who was there i was

[@draglash]

Whose idea was it to make Eddie, the Collingwood president, a commentator?

[@mashek331]

Probably his own. In fact I'm betting on it.

[@ksd3434]

He was a commentator before he was collingwood president

[@JoshGaming57]

I was there

[@tellmewhatsthinkinginaminu5512]

NAIL BITER

[@jayem7]

What a game, sucks we lost but hawks deserved the win.

[@termnater2637]

Ja Ay you should smash st Kilda next week we were lucky to win I don't think brad Scott's good he doesn't make moves your coach's alright

[@jayem7]

William F yeah we will probably beat saints, I’m just happy with the form we’re in.

[@jayem7]

Nicholas MCCASKER I was pretty certain our finals hopes were over 3 months ago when we lost to carlton, but it was a great game.

[@termnater2637]

Ja Ay yeah you started winning when you sacked that Mark Neil got sacked and when Joe daniher left to treat osteitis pubis

[@jayem7]

Nicholas MCCASKER could beat port but wouldn’t matter.

[@Pineapple123Gaming]

Gosh 11 behinds come on Hawthorn your better then this

than

[@Pineapple123Gaming]

cool story bro :)

[@northofhell9474]

You’re

[@tonybloomfield5635]

How the hell did Aaron Francis cop a fine for a perfect bump??? Michael Christensen is inept. Aaron had both feet on the ground, kept his elbow down and zero high contact. PATHETIC AFL

[@Daarms]

5:01 if it was advantage shouldn’t it of been holding the ball?

[@Ghost1218]

cmon Hawthorn stop playinh like you don't care about the finals Essendon Is way down the ladder this is a joke!

[@plopper6349]

Most biased umpiring/commentating I’ve literally ever in that last Quarter. Beyond ridiculous!!! Thank God we held on

[@zayburnell]

why can't this stadium be called the MFG when its AFL season and the MCG for cricket season so it makes sense?

[@caxe_7432]

Umpires vs Essendon

[@jamestruelson5642]

Caxe Reynolds did you see that advantage called against Hawks? Did you see around 5 holding the balls and when Essendon tackled someone and wasn't holding the ball, wasn't called. No.

[@jacobcramer7668]

Free kicks 17-11 hawks way, umpires love the hawks

[@zach336]

there's always one

[@Pineapple123Gaming]

Maybe your team should play clean ... theirs an idea

[@haydenk4006]

it was a reasonable umpiring, the numbers dont mean everything, West Coast v St Kilda last year is the best example Hawthorn had many not called too, get youre heads out of your asses and blame our players for the loss, i reckon they got 5 goals from turnovers by basic skill areas

[@zaceriabuddy3150]

i was at this game. they need to get rid of zaharakis.

[@mashek331]

lol you're a fool. He had a quiet game yes, but it's his second game back from injury. Prior to this he was carving it up. Plenty of quiet players today.

[@nathanlifska2509]

Idk why but I feel like the competition is a little too tight, Hawthorn for me don’t really deserve 3rd, I think Collingwood or Port deserve it more, it is what it is I guess.

[@emmettclark5737]

Rounds not over yet

[@dominic6867]

disagree port suck and collingwood suck we've beat them both HAWKS!

[@termnater2637]

huskyfaart ik Collingwood are the pretenders of 2018

[@termnater2637]

Chloe ikr least we've beaten 3

[@danieljoseph9553]

It's just the way the cookie crumbles mate... 4 or 5 games left in the season. GO THE HAWKS!
