Changes/Discussion v Hawthorn

[exile]

Tippett subbed off, Gilbee on. Unsure if Tippett was injured as of yet.

 

[exile]

Caddy kicks his first ever goal!

 

[exile]

Shiels thinks he's playing Soccer today...

 

[exile]

Half time. Doing well to stay ahead. Margin still 9 points.

 

[hawks_time]

How do you guys reckon you'll run out the match? I'm predicting a bit of a fade out by your team just because the list is young and not used to a full AFL season yet. But whether we play well enough to take advantage of that is another matter...

 

[exile]

First 15 or so minutes of this quarter will determine whether we really want it or not. We'll fade out if we're a couple of goals down at the final break, so we really need to keep our pressue up.

 

[exile]

Hmm, great start... not. A few quick goals to the Hawks, after an apparant Clarkson spray.

 

[exile]

Brilliant piece of stoppage work from Caddy!

 

[exile]

Matera is showing he can play in the midfield. Great clearance and pace sets up Smith in the forward line. Unfortunately, tugs it left. Scores level.

 

[exile]

Great smother from Bennell!

 

[exile]

Harbrow needs to be taken off Bruest. He is their main target and Harbrow is mainly a rebounder, not key defender.

 

[exile]

Zac Smith kicks a soccer goal from midair! Margin brought back to 10

 

[exile]

Bennell is doing all the once-percenters today. Great effort.

Silly play by Swallow.

 

[exile]

Well we're down by 10, which was what I feared might happen. Still in it, but the Hawks seem to have the upperhand and momentum.

Bennell has played close to his best game, if not his best. Very classy.

Need a big last quarter roast to get the boys over the line for our first win at Metricon.

 

[exile]

Massive amounts of manlove towards Harley Bennell from exile.

...and swallow does his hammy trying to chase down Bennell. haha

 

[Jafa]

Cmon boys.

 

[exile]

Brennan kicks a goal to bring the margin back to 5!

 

[thecatattack]

A lot of really really really s**t decisions going against you!

 

[exile]

About 4 free kicks against in the past 6 minutes have lost us this.

 

[Donakebab]

What a rort, umpires are killing you.

 

[desTROY]

What a rort, umpires are killing you.

Shocking

 

[jimmy.h]

Suns being killed by the umpires.

 

[thecatattack]

Disgusting umpiring right at the end!

 

[exile]

Absolutely shattered. If I had been at the game my heart would probably have burst out of my chest. Feels so bad to push them all the way, launch a comeback, but fall short, in what could have been our first win at Metricon.

 

[westie88]

Shocking umpiring in the last few minutes cost you that - swung the momentum right back Hawthorn's way.
