Autopsy 2nd Prelim Final - Hawthorn v Port Adelaide

[LordLucifer]

immediately?

Yes please !!

I nearly had to turn the sound off !!

 

[Richard Pryor]

Bold prediction: This thread has many references to the COLA Swans or the Cheating Hawks.

And as always quality Cats participation. Honestly we should just include Geelong/Hawthorn in each others gameday thread titles.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Ebert a massive blunder in the dying moments when marked the kick out, playing on allowing the smother with hawks all around him

This. Really disappointing.

When you're a leadership group player this is where you need composure.

 

[underthestars]

Unlucky Port. Inspiring team, inspiring attitude.
Let's hope the Hawks can go on from here and win the flag.

 

[Gizza]

One of the games of the year and everyone's sooking about umpires.

Well they were literally wearing yellow. Wouldn't even penalise the Hawks when they tried umpiring the game themselves.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Geez Hawks get a bad run from the umps don't they? Just ask em. What an absolute utter ####en joke. The wrong team is going forward this week.

 

[Demonalke]

People comlaining about the Umps... DERP. The team that made the most of their opportunities won. Great game though.

 

[Wolfgang West]

How was that holding the ball at the end. How can you make an attempt when someone is SITTING ON YOU.

Swans can not win next week. Pure & simple Hawthorn were on the ropes and the ref held them up enough for the opponent not to be able to land the knock out blow. Joke. Stevic and Nicholls will bend Swans over for Hawthorn.

 

[E92_]

Can't believe how far Port have come in the last 2 years.

 

[Paul7890]

Blame the umpires all you want. We had our chances and we threw them away.

 

[W W Biscuit]

Not going to be a good match for neutrals next week imo, two teams with out a lot to go for. Spangher is about it for me.

Won't watch it - no interest.

 

[giggler99]

Bulshit holding the ball decision at the end there!!

 

[ManWithNoName]

Hawthorn fans must ******* hate prelims.

 

[Righteo]

Wish they'd paid HTB against Lake in the end to make it the most tense finish to a prelim in a long time.

Port will be filthy at their goal kicking but they are going to be hard to stop next year.

 

[romeoh]

Hawks good, but lucky. Port didn't seem to get what was required to till 10 minutes out. Play like that the whole game and you win. It's not like it comes around that much after all.

 

[Armchair Critic]

It was not holding the ball and a shocking decision but WTF WAS EBERT THINKING

 

[ABitWoofy]

Gutted for Port. Deserved it.

Either way, Sydney will be too good next week

 

[TheWeapon]

Great game two teams that play strong attacking footy. Umpire Stevic should not never umpire another Hawthorn game again, is blatantly biased towards them

 

[Jeeves]

Massive blunder by Ebert at the end. Probs why we cut him. Well played tho by port.

 

[djspank]

Dodgy HTB decision, but that supposed push in the back against Roughead a few minutes prior probably evened it out.

 

[Balance]

Sigh... I knew this was going to happen, I was mentally prepared for this. Dodgy prelims are going to be a constant.

 

[exile]

ripper of a game. you could just tell port would come back in the end. * that HTB decision. my heart was pounding. i love finals.

 

[Quad22]

How dare someone have a different subjective opinion on a few very contentious calls!

Gibson on Monfries was never a free kick. That was what got Port back into the game.

 

[The King!]

Umpire whinging thread then, i get i during the game, but time to move on

Port were fantastic in their approach but the best side won, port threw chances way hawks were efficient

One of the games of the year and everyone's sooking about umpires.

That's why you won, what do you expect.
