Game Day Hawthorn v Sydney Swans, MCG, 7.40pm

[Nomore4s]

Any chance we could be first to the ball? Like the North game we look like we are 2 players short.

 

[Stranglers]

You know it's bad when Darcy says it's not in the spirit of how it's been paid lately

That free was absolute garbage. As was the 50 paid earlier.

 

[tige19]

We should have put 4 goals on them before they got their run on

 

[Cynic]

We'll beat these bastards. They're not much.

You are high. They're all over us.

 

[Freshmeat]

POPPY! a Heart the size of pharlaps

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Some pathetic moments from Hawthorn in that half. Clarkson should be unhappy with his players. Just not good enough from quite a few players out there. Gunston needs to settle down and to stop looking for frees. Schoenmakers has been exposed. Roughead has been well held by Richards. Ceglar has been misjudging the high ball.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

...And so I've lost my voice from telling the umpire what I'd like to do to his mother.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Maybe if the AFL is serious about equalisation they could distribute all the really tall guys evenly amongst every team

Haven't give up yet though, still a half of footy to go.

 

[Cynic]

So 'if' we lose do people start to see how much Lake's selfish act has cost us?

 

[MinerBoy]

Infuriating half. Feels like a Geelong game. We'll on top but wasteful for a quarter and a bit and then the umps decide a momentum shift is in order and spend 15 completely taking the piss. Thank * Lewis just performed the best kick you'll see this year to set up that late goal.

To be honest, is we didn't just sit it on Roughie's head everytime and let their players come in third man up, he'd beat Richards one on one.

We are playing dumb footy. Need to try and keep some sort of forward structure as when we are getting it out quickly, we have nothing to kick it too and as such, it comes back 1000 times quicker.

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

We should have put 4 goals on them before they got their run on

Yep we had all the play and the AFL made sure to snuff it out.

Jack Gunston pretty much in it all.

1 - Tripped running into an open goal, paid holding the ball
2 - Illegally held off a marking contest, paid 50m against
3 - Wins a one on one fairly on the wing, free kick to the $wans

Jack Gunston must wonder what game he is playing, he thought he was an AFL footballer.

Why do we let the $wans defends illegally hold our forwards away from contests whilst we let Franklin and Tipprat continually run and jump for the footy. The umpires never call holds off the marking contest so we may as well do it.

 

[H2F]

Gee we miss Lake.

 

[Cynic]

Gee we miss Lake.

Lake can f-off. He'd be out there if he wasn't a bloody sook.

Time to move on mate, get over it!

 

[Noneedforaname]

reckon Spangher's gone way past Schoenmakers.

Agree he has shown a great deal of upside. Would make more than a handy defender with more work. He really has improved this year.

 

[Furn2]

Pretty similar to qualifying final last year at half time, I expect a similar result.

 

[Off The Couch]

Gee we miss Lake.

Hopefully he is sitting front and centre during the half time talk

 

[grizzlym]

You know it's bad when Darcy says it's not in the spirit of how it's been paid lately

It was a shocker.

 

[Ripper Rioli]

Boy oh boy wowee. If someone has seen worse umpiring against Jack Gunston I'll eat a broomstick

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Gee we miss Lake.

Spangher would have been handy too.

 

[H2F]

Yep or Spangher.

 

[madhawksfan]

Umpiring is disgraceful but we need to take our chances and stop over hand balling at half forward.

Come on boys.

 

[Off The Couch]

And if Langford stopped running into ruffs space and taking his man to the contest it would be game on

 

[Off The Couch]

Boy oh boy wowee. If someone has seen worse umpiring against Jack Gunston I'll eat a broomstick

Is gunston going to be our new buddy for free kicks
