Oppo Camp 2012 AFL Finals Discussion - Grand Final Hawks v Swans

[Crimson Azure]

Keep talk related to AFL finals discussion here.

Let's hope we are part of it soon.

Cracking game tonight; great to see the Pies getting towelled. Some soft umpiring (those frees against Roughhead for using his body in marking contests especially. Hope they aren't paid all finals) but some excellent footy, Sam Mitchell especially.
Breust has been a gun tonight too, I know Hawks fans have been going on about him for a while, but this was the first time I've really watched them closely and he has been super.

 

[Demon JP]

Maxwell gone (great leadership), Dawes still a spud, hawks too good...

 

[Tulip]

Cloke just got interesting. Kicked half a dozen on Shoenmakers.

 

[RandB]

Geez Hawthorn know how to run out a game.

 

[Dory_77]

Cloke just got interesting. Kicked half a dozen on Shoenmakers.

Clark had 4 on him in a quarter, with our mids delivering (granted it wasn't finals pressure).
Dunno why Cloke is getting big raps, his first 3 goals were more a product of solid teamwork and being opportunistic, rather than taking big marks or using his strength. A good game by him, but not $1m a year good.

 

[Bluelegs]

I really hope Geelong win this week and next week. If it's a Geelong v Hawthorn preliminary I'm there.

 

[Captain Jack]

Maxwell... What a terrible player. Have a nice summer.

 

[tasmanlvr]

It's staggering how Cloke is still copping flak from the media and has kicked 56 goals for the season (including tonight).

If Cloke came to Melbourne and kicked 56 I'd take that for sure.

 

[Samsara]

Hawks premiership to lose really, far too good.

 

[PureFooty]

If we got 100-120 goals out of Cloke and Clark boy would I take that, but this is all hypothetical as we ain't gonna get him.

 

[Captain Jack]

Hawks premiership to lose really, far too good.

No doubt... Although they will want Lewis and Young back next week with Whitecross and probably Ellis down.

 

[Captain Jack]

Mitch Morton's game today has probably been the high point of the Morton family's contribution to AFL footy. Huge from him!

The bar hasn't exactly been set very high for him

 

[Tulip]

Swans win by 28. Who do we think they'll be playing in the Prelims?

 

[raven echo]

No upsets. West Coast and Geelong to make it through I would think.

 

[PureFooty]

Can I get some reassurance that the Tomahawk is gonna have a large one tonight? Might have a bit of coin riding on it...

 

[LeverPuller]

Go Swans; if Hawthorn win again I might puke

Haha, beat me to it. Although Cale did have some great games in '09.

 

[Demon JP]

All of a sudden I don't feel as bad about getting smashed by Freo and the Swans..

 

[Dory_77]

A few ordinary calls in the Geelong v Freo game, but what a performance from the Dockers! Totally smashed Geelong for most of the first half, then held them out for the 2nd half to win. If Pav pulls up okay they'd be a great chance to make it to the prelim against the Hawks.

 

[Bluelegs]

Hawthorn vs Sydney grand final. Mark it in.

 

[Marlowe]

All of a sudden I don't feel as bad about getting smashed by Freo and the Swans..

Can't say the same for Adelaide.

All I have to say about this years' finals, is: go Swans!

 

[Bluelegs]

All I have to say about this years' finals, is: go Swans!

Adelaide are still a very good side, the difference yesterday was all in the maturity of the playing groups. Sydney kept calm at every stage, kept the game in control and played on their terms, when things weren't looking great Adelaide got reactionary and it cost them, as Cameron Mooney said they played like boys. Adelaide never had to worry about getting reactionary against us.

 

[Dez!]

We passed on Jack Darling why exactly?
