Autopsy 2nd Prelim Final - Hawthorn v Port Adelaide

[The Swert]

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

I agree that HTB decision against Spangher was shocking. He didn't even have the ball.

 

[seysearles]

Swans are the only ones laughing right now. Much easier game, extra days rehab & prep.

People said the same thing about us in 2012 and Cats in 2008. It would take a brave or foolish man to be confident that Hawthorn wont lift this cup. #Back2back

 

[Catterpillar]

Nice confirmation bias.

Nice umpire bias.

 

[Saintt]

Monfries' free in front of goal and Roughead's in the back were terrible too, open the other eye.

 

[thecatattack]

A win on so many level. One of which is the Geelong tears. have fun watching the grand final build up and then us draw level with your mob on premierships this century. Go Hawks! Great club. Love supporting this team. LOVE!

Pity you'll get smacked by Sydney and Buddy.

 

[Power Raid]

I am sooo flat

it will take a while to recover from that great contest

Hawthorn into the Grand Final thanks to the umpires.

Sydney v Port would've been the peoples Grand Final. Umps had other ideas though.

 

[Power Raid]

Monfries' free in front of goal and Roughead's in the back were terrible too, open the other eye.

yep

that was a shocker

 

[Plugger35]

That was paid HTB to Hawthorn right? In a cut throat final?

That is seriously f***ed, Hawks supporters won't admit it but they got a massive rub of the green once again.

 

[NarklesHelmet]

Umpiring was crap throughout but that doesn't change that the holding the ball after Ebert's brain-fade was one of the most amazingly poor decisions seen for a long time. That it was at such a crucial part of the game and season made it an even bigger shocker if that is possible.

 

[kirky]

We got the GF we all wanted - Sydney vs Hawks (The Lance Franklin Cup).

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Gunstan 100 meter free off the ball in the second quarter......

Another game of afl footy remembered from the umps than the game itself

Monfries goalsquare. Gray non throw call and Roughead being tackled without the ball by Cornes. We all remember the bad ones.

Might want to rewatch the 2nd quarter again before you say anything about the umpires

Might want to watch '11 again for when your team even mattered

 

[seysearles]

It's no surprise Hawthorn sit comfortably inside the top 3 for free kicks paid to them over the last six years.

Is it no surprise that we lost today's free kick count 17-21 or that they kicked SIX resulting from free kicks. You absolute mug!

 

[gutsroy]

What a sensational game, right down to the wire, Port coming from the clouds, showing some real steel, and the Hawks getting through by the skin of their teeth largely thanks to clinical finishing and ruthless exploitation of the slightest opposition mistake.

Fantastic

Hawthorn into the Grand Final thanks to the umpires.

Quality first post Brock.

You still in the WWE?

 

[scythe]

the holding the ball was definitely a s**t call, but equally as bad for mine was the five extra seconds the scumbag took to blow the whistle at the last contest.

 

[Richard Pryor]

And thus the autopsy thread descended into Hawthorn and Geelong supporters trolling each other.

 

[Entei]

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

Arguable. Could say Port's poor kicking in the 1st qtr lost them the game.

 

[Pino]

I enjoyed watching Port so much this year.

They are such a good team to watch. They could have easily won that game. What a turn around for a club facing administration a few years back. The SACA move was the right tonic.

 

[Ambrosia]

Sydney v Port would've been the peoples Grand Final. Umps had other ideas though.

Peoples in the sense that 99% of neutrals would barrack for Port?

 

[thecatattack]

Is it no surprise that we lost today's free kick count 17-21 or that they were kicked SIX resulting from free kicks. You absolute mug!

Didn't Hawks get 5 goals from frees in the 2nd alone??

 

[seysearles]

Pity you'll get smacked by Sydney and Buddy.

Wish away princess. Meanwhile we will be preparing for our third straight grand final and back to back premierships. Say that out loud to yourself. Yeah it feels as good as it sounds.
