[Accidental genius]

port were very ordinary last night

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Did the umpire recover? Biggest hit of the match.

 

[BIuebagger]

Meek/English battle is a good one

 

[HarryFlashman]

Smart, very nice goal

 

[LanceRomance]

Is it just me, or are the hawks forwards holding on to the dogs defenders and playing for frees?

100%.

 

[myblueroan]

Shutup BT.

 

[LanceRomance]

100%.

It's seems very deliberate and coached

Had the “good fortune” to go to the port/cats game. Port were absolutely shit house, but did make the cats defense look pretty ordinary until they totally gave up.
Live, Dixon looks like he has lost a lot of weight/condition maybe to take pressure off of his knees, but he is now a non event as has lost his strength.
But the cats skills were next level.

St Kilda under Ratts did it where he didn't when he coached us. The Dogs do it under Beverage, Mitchell does it at Hawthorn, Richmond did it under Hardwick and GC are doing it now.

Every coach who was at Hawthorn under Clarkson does it as a matter of course.

Liam Jones still does that, I see...

I thought young was bad .. jones is so shit

 

[jooce8891]

I thought young was bad .. jones is so shit

joking right?

 

[Gethelred]

You also can't attempt to spoil a bloke who's just taken a mark from within the protected zone...

 

[BlueTongue]

And that is why we need a mid to kick them from outside 50. Beats the congestion every time.

 

[Monty1978]

joking right?

Not at all cost them about 3 goals falling over handballing to no one look at the last 2 goals bro

 

[Sam The Doc]

Urgh poor goal to give away

 

[athensblue]

Over 97k crowd, good turn up

 

[gbatman]

There are so many makeshift players played half forward flank in the game, it's a specialist position. We're one of the worst at playing makeshift players on the half forward flank. Ginnivan is a genuine half forward flanker, wins the ball in the area of the ground he plays, provides that link between mid/half back and the full forward line. Moir has it. Martin would if he was fit. IMO that is it for us... E Hollands has it a bit but doesn't have the overhead game a genuine half forward has and a few other bits.

You'd love to sit behind a person with a wizard's hat at a final wouldn't you?

 

[Accidental genius]

Some dodgy over the shoulder handballs by the hawks??

 

[DirtyLeeds]

Jamara is '24's version of Charlie, deer in the headlights....

 

[Stig O'Hara]

97+

Helluva crowd

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

We are nowhere near either of these teams.

 

[passmark]

This game is over.
