Game Day Around the Grounds - Rounds 11 - 15

[ODNBlue]

This Fremantle mob don't seem much chop... I think we can beat them.

 

[ESKIE]

Umpiring of this game. Is the complete opposite to what I watched on Friday night

 

[HBF]

**** Hawthorn

They'll get to the cliff eventually:

Brian Lake - 33, turns 34 in February 2016
Sam Mitchell - 32, turns 33 in October
Peter Burgoyne - 32, turns 33 in October
David Hale - 31, turns 32 in May 2016
Luke Hodge - 31, turns 32 in June 2016
Josh Gibson - 31, turns 32 in March 2016

Jordan Lewis turns 30 next year and Jarryd Roughead turns 29 next year.

 

[ESKIE]

Probably another two flags right there

Problem is most of those blokes probably still have this year and next in them.

Yep, Hawthorn have the best player management in the AFL by a long way.

 

[MC_Doggy_Frog18]

Geez we are way off the Hawks

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Freo have hoisted the white flag early.

 

[AB_Blue]

Brisbane putting up a decent fight v Sydney. Spoon looking odds on [emoji29]

 

[MC_Doggy_Frog18]

Josh Gibson ears look weird

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Hawks by 10 goals+ and kicking with the wind in the final quarter............the way they are playing today, could well blow out to 100 points.

 

[RedFury]

Oh the Freo rebound next week will be fun.

Who do they play again next week??

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Oh the Freo rebound next week will be fun.

Who do they play again next week??

......and who do we play the week after???

 

[DaVillaBlues]

There is a clinical ruthlessness to Hawthorn that is quite enjoyable to watch.

They are peaking at exactly the right time. It will most likely be a Swans v Hawks GF again, suspect Freo might start to drop off a bit for the rest of the H and A season.

 

[El Topo]

that was some next level filth from Sammy Mitchell today, dirty even by Hawthorn standards

Starts with a loss to the Blues next week.

 

[Moe B]

Most would be in trouble for that hit, but for sure the Nat Fyfe rule will be put into action.

Surely doesn't deserve weeks regardless?

 

[MC_Doggy_Frog18]

Did the swans do anything to acknowledge Phil Walsh?

 

[Big Sim]

Kaboom!

what the hey was that? oh, somebody just stuck a pin in the Freo hype bubble.

Anyone out there still willing to argue that Lyon is a better coach than Clarko? You know, that angry ant with the big head and three flags?

 

[Quazza]

Got to to admire how Hawthorn can be missing the caliber of a Jarod Roughead, yet just demolish the ladder leaders.

Must be nice supporting the Poohs and Wees right now

I love watching Hawthorn. Perfect blend of skill and toughness, play for each other, super drilled.

Just goes to show how over-rated the Freo frenzy is. Hitting targets is THE most important skill in football bar none.

And I reckon West Coast may well have Sydney covered.

 

[Big Sim]

My thoughts exactly. The AFL will want to avoid the "you're not going to rob him of a Brownlow for that little hit are you?" media storm.

Very similar to the hit that got Jordan Lewis a couple of weeks earlier in the year.
