Didn’t do himself any favours tonight. Maybe he can get a 2 for one appointment with Scott’s psychologist. Come to think of it perhaps half the team can get a bulk discount.

Well I guess drop him then? Get Jenkins or Sav in.
I dunno. His kicking was awful tonight but he was at least presenting, taking marks, etc. He almost single-handedly won us a final against North after the rest of the team had gone to water. I don't know what 2011 GF you watched where you feel the rest of the team made up for his errors. I understand being disappointed with his performance tonight (that snap shot infuriated me) but let's not get overzealous in pot-shotting a guy who has been our best player all year and best forward for a decade.

He kicked poorly tonight no doubt but 2 kicks from 45 on the fance are far from easy. The rest are fair game.
But geez the sooky lah lah overreaction is a bit much.
But hey..you gotta get out and if thats the way you need to express it... hack away.

The issue I had isn't so much that he missed those shots, it's that after only 2 or 3 misses, and as you say not easy misses either, he completely let it effect him mentally. That left foot snap off 1 step was a bloke afraid of taking a set shot.
To me it really showed a lack of leadership and composure from a guy who should be setting the example for both. It was poor, he should be embarrassed by his performance and I have no doubt he will be.

Careless and low impact to the head? So a free kick?
Can't remember any commentators remarks about it. Couldn't have been much.

I can’t remember feeling more let down by a player.
Butters incident isn't even cited, yet they call out Tom.
Can't remember it but i recall Hawk approaching Rockliff at the break and looked like Trock half angrily laughed and smiled it off...Thawk wasn't backward in approaching him between players walking off.

at 3:48 1Q, next to boundary. Hawkins handballs away, Rockcliff arms checks late a little high and hangs on, blurry as they go out of frame but it looks like Hawkins may have caught him with arm/elbow as he brushes Rockcliff away to chase the action. Wider angle shows Rockcliff reacting , Tom on knees like they got tangled up. Kolo is having his shot on goal. Rockcliff bent over with hands over nose.
IMO looked like a footy play, unlucky to catch his face. Rockcliff initiated by hanging on to impede Hawkins.

How funny is that, I was at the 2011 GF and I still think he deserved the Norm Smith, yet others think he was a liability. Different opinions hey.
Alot of this sooking is reall just venting at the most apparent target, I reckon. If everyone could just collectively scream "FOR F*CK'S SAKE!!!" and move on things would be better. After all, didn't the Mythbusters scientifically prove that an injury will keep on hurting until the victim swears really loudly?
Pain transference. It's science!!!!!!!!!!!!

Handball off to SJ 2011 GF same mind set after 2 poor set shots in the last quarter.The boots didn't match the hands that game either.
Mooney kicked 2 goals 3. Not exactly in the same level as 0 goals 5 and 1 that misses completely.
Mooney was worse in the 2008 GF no matter how much you wanna spin it
His miss on halftime lost us the game
thats not a reasoned assessment. Its an emotional one.
mooneys miss at half time was bad. But 2 goals 3 is still not terrible. If it wasnt for mooney we would of lost by a lot more. He took 8 marks that day. 4 contested. was a one man show up foward. He was huge. I would argue his 2008 gf was almost as good as hawkins 2011.
hahahahahahahahaha
