Artie Jones out of Prelim Final with an eye injury.

Last time we lost a player to an eye injury in a prelim……just saying….


He went to Collingwood….

 

[dergert]

We need to get Treloar and Duryea a flag with the club.

 

[lachy]

Busslinger 20 disposals at half time, he’s been a general down there.

Hasn't been exposed 1 v1 either

 

[dergert]

Jones was looking alright too

 

[Marsy]

I'm in the minority but I prefer watching the streamed VFL matches rather than the 7 covered ones.
The amateur commentators actually follow the league and give a shit.

They at least know the players names.

I’m of the opinion to be a commentator you have to have a good voice. A lot in the industry don’t.

is smith off having a rest or because he was banged up? I noticed he was carrying his arm.

I reckon he's been carrying that injury for a while. I noticed him flexing his shoulder when they were coming off at HT a few weeks a go. He came back out for the second half but was in some discomfort at the time. He went to ground heavily in a tackle in the second quarter today and was immediately flexing the right shoulder again before contesting the tap. Unfortunately it's his right shoulder and he's a right-handed ruckman.

After that tackle Hawthorn started winning a lot more of the taps.

I reckon as soon as the season's done he'll be joining Ed, Darcy and Naughton in the shoulder surgery club. Hope he can get through to next week.

Don't be surprised if Jordan Croft does a fair bit of ruckwork in the second half.

Just went to watch it on 7mate….and we’ve got the AWFL on GC V Carlton….yuck

 

[MaxiBont]

Jaques 14 disposals at 93% efficiency in that first half.

 

[dogwatch]

Woops. I've been posting VFL stuff in the wrong thread ...



Tackling has been good. Hawthorn rarely getting any time to set up the play.

One of the few stats we are losing is the hitouts and it may get worse if Smith can't ruck the second half. However we have players around the stoppage pouncing on whichever Hawthorn player receives the ball.

I hope the seniors are taking note.

Like him a lot. As well as Sellwood

Same story here. Except it was Collingwood v Swans I think.
They seem to think anyone in Canberra must be a Sydney or GWS supporter.

3 up no one down. Stupid play

 

[DognBones]

Poor defence then. All our talls up for the punch and noone down

 

[Testekill]

3 up no one down. Stupid play

Really annoying too because Gardner was in perfect position and was instead spoiled by his own teammates

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Where would Lewis get a chance in our AFL side Johnson?

cheerleading for Box Hill what a tool

 

[wian]

Croft has been shit house today. Done absolutely nothing

 

[dogwatch]

Love how Sellwood made sure he knocked over the bloke who took the mark.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Any danger of htb

 

[Bulldogs85]

Umpires don’t want to play holding the ball against Box Hill players

 

[wian]

We are going to lose this. Nothing up forward

 

[DognBones]

MacKenzie is killing us in this quarter. Need to clamp down on him

 

[DognBones]

We are going to lose this. Nothing up forward

Every time we enter forward 50 it comes straight out again. Forwards not working hard enough.

 

[HELMET!]

We're breaking down at half forward again. Not a whole lot of pressure and struggling to get deep entries this quarter.

 

[wian]

We are going to piss this one up against the wall unless something changes.
