“That was a good day at the footy - one of the best days at the footy in fact.” - Darren Levin
“That is why you go to the football - that was as good a high as I’ve had at the footy in a long time.” - Nat Martin
“It was just such a rollercoaster of emotions all day and a couple of hours later we are all still riding the emotions of an incredible win.” - Andrew Weiss
“These games seem to get replayed the same way over and over again and we are never on the winning side… it turns out that we came up clutch when we needed to.” - Danny Prins

The vibes were again high, and your good-time, a-grade, panel of positivity were on hand to take you
🗣️ Talking Points
The crowd: A huge crowd came for the Hawks, and could be heard all the way back in Officer (by all reports).
Brown and Gold debuts? Thoughts on Flynn Perez and Jack Dalton in their first Hawks outings.
Forward line and ruck structure for next week: Gunston, Schubert, Lewis, Meek, Reeves and Gather Round.
Geelong’s rolling zone: How we succeeded and failed to pick our way through with Tom Stewart set up to dominate in the air.
The centre bounce mix: CBA numbers for Sam Butler, and the mix of players running through with no Cam Mckenzie in the guts.
Josh Ward: Was this his best four quarter performance of his career?
Poor umpiring decisions or poor skill execution?: Why can’t we agree that both didn’t help our cause?
Bringing home the bacon: The final minutes - that’s the thing about, that’s what I like about, that’s the thing about, the thing about football.
Player performances: Who else shone on the big stage at the MCG?
So, so, so much more.
