The fear on the Port Board that we might win this year is delicious

Neroli giving fantastic updates.

You completely objective in this statement?

 

[latinoheat]

Trade louden back to the Hawks

Clear and concise. Terrific reporter.

Well, that's the biggest 4-goal win I've seen for some time! Nic-Nat was a beast and I am forced to admit I was wrong about Jetta: that's the best game I've seen him play for years. His harassment and speed tackling was Charlie-like. Yeo did his best to gift it away, though. Cyril, Mitchell, Frawley and many others were non-events. God that Hodge is a campaigner, but he was cowed by the end. There were a few freekickHawthorns, but, on the whole, Hawthorn's continuous whinging to the umpires didn't have the desired effect.

On Hawks manning up on the man on the mark: This needs attention and clarity from the AFL and rules committee. Seems to me that it's legal to stand next to the guy but it's not legal to block him from moving - As long as the ball is not within 5 metres? But the kicker is moving in, may or may not be 5 metres. IMO they should extend the 'protected area' rule to include staying clear of the man on the mark. Just for clarity.

& not influenced by looks at all .....correct ?

What the hell.do you do to do 4 knees? Ive never had an injury in my life.

In hindsight, just poor joints. The surgeon told me that when I first tore all the tendons in ankle at 14.

ACL at 16, Brostrom at 18, ACL at 22, 27 and then the other leg at 33.

If I was West Coast, I'd be pretty confident about a final against the Bulldogs at the MCG.

Very likely it could be home finals for us, Sydney & GWS, so AFL would want the only Melbourne final at the G which won't suit the Bulldogs.

Foxtel commentators finally starting to talk some sense about the gutless punching plague that's infested the AFL in recent years.

Eddie Mcguire: 1 week suspension for any punch

Jono Brown: shouldn't miss a game, but fine 10-20k

Dermie Brereton: um, shouldn't be missing a game, mumble mumble something about $1000 fine, but I don't like it and should be stamped out

McClure: grunt

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Strategy 1? Lets do what we did last year to them at the AO... 50 to 7 at QT and ice the game.

That would be nice!

I also recall a late season game a couple years ago where we got out of the blocks with 5 goals until the WC midfield absolutely smashed us.

Priddis is the key.

Absotively. She hot as well.

It's bizarre that the AFL have allowed it to get to this. How is it acceptable to punch someone? The impact of the punch shouldn't come into it. What kind of message is that sending to kids?

Yep. Same rule for both sides. Stay out of the zone.

Standard practice to ice it I'm pretty sure

Ice normally for 15 mins on/10 mins off (for a couple of days), compression and crutches. The docs would know if it was an ACL.

Can we get over Port tomorrow night first please?

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Surely we will go tight on Mitchell if we play them again?!

Walshy looking down on us smiling, maybe it really is our time again.

Exactly. The AFL is the biggest bunch of hypocrites going around. Say no to racism, homophobia, domestic violence but blokes punchin' on is alright. He's just bein' a lad 'ey kids? Pay attention.

Off topic, has anyone else made the correlation between Priddis and Shirley Temple?

Punching is Ok but make sure the crowd doesn't boo, priorities!

If Dees squeeze in to the finals, you just know that bailey is helping him out too!

Yet I saw a game last week where the umpire pushed the team mate away from mark. I thought finally. So it was a 1 week rule?

We should be smashing into him and tackling him hard at every occasion so he can barely run by the end of the game.
