Autopsy 2nd Prelim Final - Hawthorn v Port Adelaide

[ep2018]

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

We didnt cut him.

 

[SSwans2011]

Terrific game.

Absolutely atrocious umpiring will overshadow it unfortunately. Port were robbed.

 

[Vankri]

The umpiring display in the second quarter and with that last minute HTB decision is simply unbelievable. I feel so bad for Port supporters. Yes they didn't kick straight but if this was my team I don't know how I would react. This is borderline rigging.

 

[Richard Pryor]

WTF was that holding the ball decision to Hodge with a minute left??! Surely that was the umps getting Hawthorne the win

As I understand it the HTB rule is you have to make an attempt. Complete BS rule that isn't payed consistently, but I think it's there? Not sure of exactly what the rule is so I don't know for sure.

 

[Fyfetheknife]

seriously bigfooty? It was holding the man on hodge against Ebert not holding the ball for * sake port kicked like s**t well done hawks.

 

[SSSSSS]

Is that the first goalless Breust game this year?

 

[Wolfgang West]

Are people actually trying to say the umpires got the Hawks over the line?

Utter flogs.

Yeah they are and you are going to need all three of them next week.

 

[Sam95]

bad luck port but with all those behinds you dont deserve to win

 

[manureid]

If Stevic umpires the Gf then the Swans are screwed.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Not much to add. Umpiring a disgrace. Port supporters should feel very aggrieved.

 

[TheOz]

Port are a great side and will win a premiership in the near future, they play some brilliant footy when they're at their best. Kicking let them down today.

 

[chooke]

Happy team at Hawthorn. Well played Port. If you had kicked your goals in the first quarter you would have been in a Grand Final. That is what cost you the GF. Nothing else.

Bull*** one of the umps in particular was best on ground.

 

[The King!]

If lake got called at the end and if it were a swans player in the exact same spot who got called id be outraged, couldnt ping him for that

 

[97-98]

The umpire giveth, and then the umpire taketh.

 

[funk44]

Are people actually trying to say the umpires got the Hawks over the line?

Utter flogs.

2 bullshit 50's in the 2nd directly resulting in goals and one of the worst htb decisions in recent memory, yeah i'd say you were gifted the game

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

3 goals 9 in a quarter usually loses you a game so completely unsurprised by that result. Showed good fight to get back to within winning distance but just not enough.

 

[Kickin_Goals]

Ha, hawks frees gave them the win?

You would have to be kidding I've not seen a bigger last quarter ride then port got.
Monfries runs straight through gibson, in the marking contest give him a shot at goal
throw throws throws, how many can you do in one game port?

 

[Spoken4]

Port better team and should have won.

 

[Plugger35]

The last couple of minutes summed up the umpiring, a Port player pinged for diving on the ball when he'd only just taken possession.

Then after that a Hawthorn player dived on the ball and dragged it in a couple of times to kill it with no free paid, ridiculous bias.

Brave effort from Port against Hawthorn and their umpires.

Boak and Gray are absolute champions, make no mistake.

 

[RU_]

I hope Sydney gets a helping hand from the umps next week. Would be fitting.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Heartbroken, gutted. Well done hawks, hope you go on to win next week.

There's always next year, still a young side.

 

[gPhonque]

Umpire should be sacked. No idea.

 

[wowlace]

Port are great and should make it another week next year. That last HTB was a bit dodge.

 

[AM]

Love the never give in attitude of Port. Nearly got them over the line.

Hopefully the Dawks played their GF today. Tough draining game. Less time to recover. Older bodies. Swannies by six goals at the big dance.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Port should have won.

Port should have won by heaps if they kicked straight.
