Not when it was up for grabs in the 1st half he wasn't.

The game wasn't up for grabs during the 2nd half?

 

[Jiggyman]

That was intense. Interesting watching Geelong's instinctive, creative overlap through the middle go down against the precise, first-option kicking and switching of play of the Hawks. Watching the way they get the ball to their best kicks around the center circle for a long kick to a leading forward in space reminds me of what we had 'click' for a few games there at the end of the season (with our best midfield kicks being Hurn, Shuey and Gaff)

 

[Forget the Stats]

That's a sensational kick from Burgoyne. Still one of my favourite players.

Yeah it was quality and he's a gun. When the debate over recruiting Wellingham was on at the time of the trade I posted on the main board that we were paying the same for him as the hawks did for Burgoyne. I felt based on that we we're paying way too much, others said I was wrong. I'm bloody sure I right now.

Hawks gave up no. 9 to get him. We gave up 18(?) for Wellingham.

Yeah i thought it was less sorry, wrong twice hey. We still paid overs for Wellingham haha

I dont think we did. I think he is playing nowhere near his capabilities. If he doesn't come right then yes we have but he is better than what we have seen. IIRC his first few games in 2013 (after the trampoline accident) showed what he can do.

He has shown when fit that he's got the talent I agree with that. His problem is obviously his attitude. How can a 26 year old quality mid get dropped to the wafl because of a lack of effort. That's what we accuse Hill of not someone we traded our first rounder for!!

True enough.

Hawthorn just didn't put them away in the 3rd. They definately had the upper hand.

You don't like him, that's fine, but he played well. Face it.

Please win tomorrow Sydney, I don't want another week of GF hell from all the bandwagoners, as I cant see them missing a GF if they get a home PF. And I hope the rain holds off, as Sydney are shite in the rain.

According to the weatherman it won't hold off. I think we gonna see much purple in September again unfortunately.

 

[Avalor]

Awesome game tonight. The hawks play footy as it should be played, not like the rolling maul shit that Sydney and Freo serve up.

 

[JADED]

Angus Graham (ruck) & Shaun Mckernan (key position) both delisted from Adelaide. That IS clearing the dead wood. Probably both had some currency (ie small pick upgrade due to their desirable size)
Thank shite we're stocked with decent talls or we'd be getting excited about list fill ins like the 2 above.

 

[ep2018]

Whoever wins today will make the GF, they get to play Geelong at home in a PF.

Carlton board?

 

[Arecsa]

Wasn't McKernan the weak prick who elbowed Shep and got away with only 2 weeks? Good riddance to him if so.

 

[Captain Awkward]

Not too worried TBH. They'll most likely have to meet Hawthorn at the MCG at some point. I believe in Hawthorn.

 

[Jafa]

Can't stand either of these teams. Go Sydney I guess.

Yuk.

 

[hudson2006]

Rohan being penalized just then for not taking a bounce makes me think that altering the traveling rule (increasing the time before a bounce is required) would lead to more exciting runs and passages of play. Would this be a good idea?

 

[MIKE85]

Freo already going super attacking with a spare man in defence. I hope after another Ross Lyon failed premiership attempt this ultra defensive crap will finally stop

 

[Patron]

Rohan cost both goals already.

 

[MIKE85]

Massive duck from the garden gnome, I thought only our players did that?

 

[hudson2006]

Haha "Franklin is the meat in the sandwich". Where do they get these 'commentators' from?
