The Super-Critical Grand Final Thread

[MinerBoy]

Our time keeper went too early. I could have lapped that s**t for another half hour or so.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

1. Missing shots on goal by Gunston, Shiels in the first quarter. Could have beaten 119. McEvoy and Mitchell take note - a record opportunity was missed.

2. Letting Franklin mark on the goal line with both lake and Gibbo failing to spoil. Come on guys it's easy - one of you kick him in the nuts, the other take an easy chest mark.

3. Kierab Jack's junk time goals - embarrassing.

4. Clarko. Lift man .

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Slipped over on purpose so he could do an awesome running tackle.

I thought he was just doing a Young impersonation for the lulz.

 

[Dewnior]

Hill executing the perfect tackle on Malceski and then undoing all his good work by stopping and waiting for the ump to pay a free for incorrect disposal. As if Hill.

 

[Billy Bass]

They were in front of us on multiple occasions. Not good enough.
We let non Hawthorn associated players kick goals. The day was all about Hawthorn, we shouldn't have let anyone other than McGlynn, Kennedy or Judas kick goals (although we did ok for the first 1/4 and a bit).

 

[Thaihawk]

Billy Hartung thinking the 100m sprint was over 1000 and mistiming his run.

 

[BobHawk]

I think I saw someone miss a tackle but can't remember who. Was probably a Sydney player anyway.

 

[Manila_Hawk]

Rolling around on the ground with team-mates after the siren.

Stand up FFS.

 

[Garf]

I picked X Ellis to kick the first goal and he didn't even get a touch. Delist !

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Gibson still hasn't kicked a goal for us, you'd think with the way we played on Saturday he'd have kicked one. No goals in 100 games, lazy effort. Delist!

 

[detox]

Rioli didn't have 30 touches. You need 30 ticks in the "D" section of the stat sheet to get bigfooty respect.

Delist asap and work on getting Garlett back to replace him.

 

[TyHawk]

Spangherman getting blocked off the ball in the last minute and didn't get a free kick! Ridiculous.

Duryea didn't get near it in the first half. Shocker

Very very disappointing

1. The season had been over for thirty seconds and the only player doing pushups for preseason was Langford.

2. They made the swans aware of how bad they actually are, it would have been nice to keep them in the dark for another 12 months at least.

3. The footy record had number 23 for the swans listed as "Lance Franklin" Who the hell was that, it was pretty obvious who was wearing 23 they had closeups and everything. It was Juda$

4. Luke Hodge, Sam Mitchell, Grant Birchall, Jordan Lewis, and Josh Gibson all got more than 20 uncontested possessions. Boys get better deoderant. The Crowd don't want a game of keepings off, no matter how funny it is to us.

5. If you want the record winning margin you are going to have to give the ball to the swans. The swans only has 298 disposals. Port Adelaide had 350 in 2007.

6. Spangher, change your name. Hill rhymes with pill, he gets a lot of the pill. Breust rhymes with roost, he gives it a roost when kicking for goal. Birchall rhymes with Virtual. He's a virtual superstar running off the half back flank. Spangher rhymes with Clanger, what the hell are you thinking going around with a name like that.

7. The ball spent far too much time in the crowd. Kick a goal to the fence get it back to the middle. Stop chanel 7 from running ads.

We play for frees far too often!

Loved point 1, Spangher rhymes with hanger... See other posts re the Spang being blocked at the end before he could execute said Hanger.

Oh, some neutrals have mentioned it was a bit boring, with us being so far in front and all.

 

[Darth Docomo]

Clarko let his guard down on numerous occasions and was caught smiling on camera, especially in that last quarter. Does Adelaide or West Coast still want him?

I thought of that, and yeah the hanger works but this is the supercritical thread.

On Spangher, yes he was blocked perribly in that last contest, but in his first he came in from the side brilliantly set up a relatively easy intercept mark and then spilled it. These things happen, but he went to ground allowing a free swan to run into the goal square. Itu was only his (the swan player's) poor decision making that kept the swans from goaling. Love spangher's attack on the ball but I'd like to see him keep his feet more often.

 

[passionate81]

We should have won by 100 points. Very worrying that we didn't go on with it in the last qt. Shows a lack of hunger, and doesn't bode well for next year.

Also, too much celebrating after the game. They need to tone it down a bit and realise that the job isn't done yet. We are still along way off a 3peat.

Classic !!! I guess 'anger' is the only other rhyme

 

[Agent Smith]

Rioli spilling the easiest of spectacular hangers. I mean, really... just to rub it in, Lake of all people had to show you how it's done. Now don't whinge about not playing a game of footy for months on end or the fact the air is thin up there and you got light-headed. You got two hands to the pill, all you had to do was hang onto it for the 20 metres or so while you're in freefall. Pathetic.

 

[Procrastinator35]

The booing of Goodes & Bud was terribly half-hearted....If we play them again, I expect far more from our supporters!....Just a real lack of passion I thought!

 

[Garf]

The crowd was saying 'pooo' not 'booo', because that's what the $yds were playing like.

The AFL should have brought back Angry and the Batmobile at half time. Maybe he could have done a duet with Olivia.

1. Taylor Duryea's hair: hey, mate, Elvis had that hairstyle, and he died in 1980. Probably because of his hairstyle.

2. David Hale's hair: you had a great head of hair 2 years ago: where did it go?
