Congratulations to the wee and poo coloured jersey wearers of the Hawthorn Hawks who have taken out the 2013 AFL Grand Final in a gritty victory over the Fremantle Dockers with a performance of 11 goals, 11 points (77) over Freo’s effort of 8 and 14 (62).
Defender Brian Lake was awarded the Norm Smith Medal for best on field, a sweet bonus for a great veteran player who only joined the Hawks’ team this year after slogging away for a lesser team (the Bulldogs) for a number of years.
Well done to the mighty Hawthorn, who performed brilliantly all season and managed to deliver on the big day. Commiserations to the Dockers who gave it a good nudge. Until next year, AFL fans.
