Obviously we would all love to win every game of every year.
Stroll through the season without an issue and win flags year in, year out.
It would be wonderful.
But, as we know, it's just not a reality.
Our wins in 2021 will come in different forms; young players getting opportunities and thriving on the big stage.
We loved seeing the sentiment of the Hawthorn faithful throughout our game against Richmond and post-match.
Commentary filled with optimism and hope in the face of a five-goal defeat.... and sprinkled with a few funnies as well!
Check out some of our favourite notes from our social channels on the weekend.
"If he's in the road then I'm sure the boys will be pretty happy to clean him up"
Fair play to Brockman's barber for skilled use of the whipper-snipper. My dad would be proud if he had those clean, sharp edges on his back lawn. #AFLHawksTigers

Well done Hawks for matching it with Richmond on the score board in the 3rd quarter.

We’re never going to win that, but a lot to like. Need to polish it up a bit but overall, not too bad at all. #Always #AFLHawksTigers
