Round 18: Hawthorn vs Richmond - MCG

[Moshie The Mook]

Hawthorn supporters told us they would win by 10 goals.

Fell slightly short.

 

[Bazzar]

Great game, but remember the Blues lost to the Swans and Saints in 95

 

[Gavin Excell]

Tigers too good for us tonight well done they deserved the win.

But i must say that was probably one of the worst umpiring displays I've ever witnessed in my many years of watching footy.

What about the ultra soft Puopolo free kicks? Silent on those?

Half your goals came from free kicks

 

[justbetter]

two scores under 100. s**t boring game. change some rules.

 

[threesixpio]

Hawthorn hasn't had a solid pressure game for weeks. Media has overrated them.

Yep. Collingwood gave it to us last. However, I don't think we are anywhere near as over-rated as Freo and Sydney.

Don't under-estimate what playing against the Carlton under 12s did for us though

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

I would seriously have to leave the state lol.

I pray it happens.

 

[MickyG]

Good game. How to beat Hawthorn.

Terrible commentary. Unbeatable bullshit shown up for what it is. Completely ignore any dirty crap from the thugs.

Good umpiring - dirty play needs to be penalised. Hodge out next week for that punch?

Well done Tigers.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Anyone know why that wasn't incorrect disposal?

Umpire too busy laughing. I mean come on, how could you not.

 

[madethegrade]

Thnx mate i took a punt on punt rd

what was it $350 @ 5. Well done!

What kind of team would exploit head high tackles. Imagine if your captain did it? Now THATS soft

 

[Bengineer]

Will be the long week Richmond pull-fest instead.

Yes be careful what you wish for. Randy Richmond fans are far more obnoxious. Imagine if they had won one flag recently let alone two in a row!

Hawks still genuine chance, just not blazing favourites like the media has peddled.

 

[fool]

You coming to the game saturday night should be a good one

Dont get too excited, hawth love to play well after a loss... should be a cracker next week

 

[giggler99]

A derby GF would be a dream match up. It would be war.

Most Victorians couldn't care less who is playing in the GF if its not their team. Always a great day to look forward too

You know what I would quite enjoy that to be honest! It's about time we get a Derby final at least.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Hawks will have to beat freo or west coast in perth for the flag. Suddenly not a lock for the flag. Lol

Hawks will beat both of them.

 

[JoondalupJ]

Wowie Tige's , now this is a game of football hey?

Any ones game , you guys are dangerous bastards, you look like us!!!

What do you think your doing.

But this is football, and Hawks and Tigers, good rivalry. No blow outs just challenge each other .

I am drinking whisky shots and beer to calm my nerves .

As sober as a judge.

You should have got Freo , bad luck , but you were the winner on the night.

I hope not tonight though, but challenge is what its about not blow out wins.

GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done Tigers. You won't do it again this year though. But really hard tough stuff. A lesson for the Hawks. But they were off , then again your boys put them off.
Enjoy it while you can Tigers. We never lay down for long.

Really great game of Footy , I think Razor needs to have a look at what he calls though. Best team won tonight no excuses.

 

[Barnzy]

Hawthorn by 70+

Lol

 

[fool]

what was it $350 @ 5. Well done!

$300 @ 5.60

 

[Tyrone Time]

Love all the hawks fans in this thread trying to blame umpires or pretending that the hawks weren't really trying. Umps were blatantly favouring the Hawks when it mattered, and no way did the Hawks want to throw away their shot at top 2.

Yes, free kick and 50 counts backs your story.
Points well made.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

What about the ultra soft Puopolo free kicks? Silent on those?

Half your goals came from free kicks

Please Richmond deserved that win, but they where well looked after by the umpires, a lot
more than Hawthorn.

Your knowledge of how footy should be umpired is about as good as Gavin Excell was.

 

[TiggerMan22]

Anyone know why that wasn't incorrect disposal?

Havn't watched Footy in a while? Those don't get called ever (but they should)

 

[TiggerMan22]

Hawks kicked 3 of their 7 goals directly from frees. So don't bring that bs.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Hawks will beat both of them.

We'll see. I think going to Perth in a final is by far the hardest road trip of them all- remember freo-syd a few years back?
