When walla kicked that goal, didn’t matter about colour or race. Every single person cheered. Love it ❤

[@n81a]

If he was white you wouldn't even mention race or colour

[@petermcculloch4933]

The defensive set up and pressure game will make Essendon competitive but what I liked most, with respect to Hawthorns development position, the Bombers didn't cruise to a lazy victory, they crushed the Hawks.

100%

[@SIB-1973]

I had Essendon at 10th because they got Weidemen (From Melbourne) but now they got Walla? Top 8 Vibes for the Bombers! 🔴⚫️

[@darthgeros5863]

lol

[@imalwaysright]

I didn't expect Essendon to play so good. Well done to the Bombers and the Brad Scott regime.

[@majoressendonfan2]

I didn’t get to watch the game I’m so sad what a good game well played Essendon

[@Johnsonsvideos]

I'm here to watch that final goal

[@autistpetey5703]

the bombers as contenders???? hmmm??? is it possible? the footy they displayed was on another level

[@thisisntmeshutup9968]

2 words. it’s hawthorn

[@Drcy.Cr3]

@@thisisntmeshutup9968 hawthorn actually played alright after they made some adjustments

[@markwhelan9887]

@@Drcy.Cr3 The hawks are the youngest side along with the bombers and the crows so they will more than likely lose more than they win and that is just typical of a young side don't get me wrong they might do some great things but consistency will be the biggest challenge however I wish them the best.

[@markwhelan9887]

I don't think you can make a judgement call on one game especially when your first game is against another young and inexperienced side I think it's wise to wait for at least 6 games before making big finals calls.

[@bunningsnag6110]

Mate it’s easy to do this when your vsing a bunch of 19 year olds, need to see them do this against a better side to be convinced

[@miriamByrnes-e7v]

Love the game ❤🖤👍

[@balakingo8535]

Good seeing tippa back playing. But how bout the crowd 🔥😍

[@jamietucker6717]

Well played Bombers

[@timothyhutchinson7774]

Well played hawthorn but go bombers

[@majoressendonfan2]

Well played hawthorn good game

[@patviravouth867]

My respect goes out to you for saying that. It isn't easy to say nice things about one of your bitter rivals after the match being so one sided. As an Essendon supporter, I'm obviously pleased with the result and the first quarter had me worried. Best of luck to your Hawks for the rest of the season.

[@jamietucker6717]

@@patviravouth867 Thank you for saying that and I wish your team all the best of luck for 2023

[@BadgerFromOz]

I was just a fingernail away from tipping Hawthorn, but I chose Essendon and I'm glad I did now. Good win by Essendon too. Hawthorn got humbled.

[@nicolo4786]

I know this comment was 2 weeks ago but just wanna let you know that hawthorn is the youngest team in the competition now

[@BadgerFromOz]

​@@nicolo4786I never knew that.

Hawks for the spoon.

yes

[@jameschristiansson3137]

3:32 Dane Rampe is a Hawk now? Why does Essendon opposition think they can climb the post?

[@Ozziemick]

Some more hard work is needed in training and planning for Brads Bombers. This win is just gauge to see how the players are going so far under Brad. Let’s aim for next week. Cmon Bombers. Let’s get serious!

[@imalwaysright]

Hawks looked dangerous at one point, then I don't know what happened. I'm not sure about Sam Mitchell's long-term U/18 rebuild, gutting of the list. Can't be getting clobbered like that. How long is Cam Mackenize signed to the Hawthorn? He is wasted at the Hawks. He's AFL ready and looks a natural.

[@desiolle2874]

The boys look fitter

[@planetx1595]

I thought he retired or did he change his mind?

[@CodE_breaKER_3]

🏈 Hawks coach Sam Mitchell........What are you doing ? 20 03 2023

[@ZELJKO472]

I don't follow football. Best mare is Hawk supporter (footy mad) said Hawks for spoon and Mitchell can't coach of his life depended on it.
