A behind! What a shame, now it's only their equal lowest score for their entire history.

Aw damn. No record today. Maybe next time they have to play someone at the MCG.

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

OK.

 

[Messenger]

First time in a while to be fair, but yeah.

Probably a little to do with depth as well. Without Whitfield they have no line breakers and the gulf from Mumford to Simpson is huge.

No Smith, Mitchell and O’Meara has been quiet.

Just to be clear this is a middle of the road team missing two of their best six players holding one of the heaviest scoring teams with a quality list to four goals.

Complete lack of imagination from Cameron.

Clarko is a genius.

 

[ManOfClay]

Codswallop.

A bulldogs win and a bad GWS lost. Grim weekend for you mate

 

[PerthBoy86]

Not even close.

Well I like your confidence. Let's see how season 2019 continues to unfold. Would be happy to claim a giant scalp either way, we have the wood over you guys.

 

[Messenger]

To be third on the ladder and put in a performance like this to a team well down compared to other years is a shocking performance

You will never win a flag with this group

They can win with this group, but not this coach.

 

[Americanpies]

GWS = Better players
Hawthorn = Better coach

And it ends there.

14k crowd. Where are the hawk supporters? Because it’s Mother’s Day? Sunday afternoon?

 

[PerthBoy86]

Don't forget about the mighty Brisbane and Port Adelaide.

Port lol. I'm more worried about Adelaide right now. Would love to see a WC Adelaide GF.

Wow. There were 20k at Marvel last night, I thought that was bad.

Agree to disagree

They won’t get anywhere near it with this group

 

[Loken]

That’s a bit rough. The Giants aren’t that old.

That's very clever Wasabi, did you think of that all by yourself

I will leave it there before you run off and cry to the Mods again...

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

The seagulls might outnumber supporters in the ground.

It is the only time Clarkson has beaten Leon . Including with the flag winning side in 2015.

He has won today though.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Way to overreact to a single game.

Your mob is 2-14 at the G. Compare this to other current grounds where your record is either favourable or, in the very least, respectable. Surely that has to be a concern? You can't expect to win a flag if you can't perform at the G.

Dry your eyes.

 

[Farang83150]

Looks like Roughead definitely not needed.

 

[WWSD]

The Giants are only playing a middle of the road side so should be pretty good things.

Nice prediction you idiot!

 

[Messenger]

Agree to disagree

They’ve got time.

 

[WWSD]

Hawthorn are ranked first in the AFL this year in contested marks. That’s staggering considering the Hawks are the only team who have no key position players in the best 22. Gunston and Sicily are flankers.

Today is the day Mitchell Lewis will put Hawthorn back on the map!

 

[Strange Cat]

They’ve got time.

38 points is staggering bad

I'm going to say that the big turning point in this game is the fact that Hawthorn dominates them in the air.

The betting line was 9 for a reason. Hawthorn obviously match up well against GWS... and the bookies knew this. Otherwise GWS should have gone into this --30.
