Fev So Close!

[GeelongAllDaWay]

Was listing top the game on radio and i am so pissed that fev didnt get 100! The ref was gay at the end

 

[walshy93]

Ref?


LOL, my sig says what I think...

 

[Top_4_Tiger]

Nice sig, I agree.

I hate Hawthorn more than any other club in the competition.

 

[TheBlueblood]

Not sure what happened to the sheperding out of a contest rule??? The last contest he had no chance of getting to it due to 3 hawks scragging him !!!

Stupid umpys

Great effort from the big fella and a much improved year by our young blues!!!!!

Bring on 09

In the last entry into our 50, they actually had 4 players around him. I thought for a moment the umpire might have paid a sheparding free kick to him.

 

[The_Wolf]

I couldn't believe the Hawks flooded their backline to stop Fev kick 100. If the game was close I could understand but it was all over. That was one of the most disgraceful things I have seen in football and I hope that the Dogs thump them next week.

Just home from the game,great seeing Buddy get his 100 goals but IMO not allowing Fev that last goal is very unsportsmanship like and i've lost a massive amount of respect for the Hawthorn Football Club.They had nothing to lose in the end accept respect and they sure as hell of lost that!!! I'm sure they're going to cop alot of flack over this in the media,double and triple teaming Fev trying to get his last goal in the dying minutes of the quarter.
Cant wait for the Cats to give these arseholes what they deserve.

lol @ thread

By this reasoning, Carlton were unsportsmanlike to contest Buddy at all during the opening quarter. Actually, why didn't they let him get to 150 while they were at it, manipulate history.

Milestone are just that because they must be earned ALL season long, not declared a gimme in round 22. It would ruin the game to suddenly allow a player to kick goals in the name of fabricating history.

FWIW, I wanted him the kick the 100, or at least one final shot at it. Fact is, he was gifted a goal late, and missed 3 or 4 chances in the opening quarter.

So what were you guys going to gain by playing 3 or 4 players on Fev in the dying moment???

We have a game next week, we kind of need to prepare and play proper footy.
What did Carlton have to gain by not letting Roughead to 100? Same thing? It cheapens what 100 goals means if the mentality is "get close to 100 by round 22 and thats good enough".

 

[Crazyhawk]

I agree. It'd be like winning a premiership knowing that you tanked season after season to get no.1 draft picks. Or buying players from other clubs.

 

[shqip]

Cheer up Carlton fans, every year you haven't been making the finals so seeing Fev kick 100 would have been a Godsend, to bad that didn't happen.

Saying that, to kick 7 goals on Croad is a good effort, I don't think Croady will like to be the man that let Fev kick 100. So yeah, thats my personal opinion on that.

Always next year, if his form and head remains on the same level.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Yeah because Hodge, Franklin, Roughead and Lewis weren't rewards for finishing low. And we wont mentioned trading players to other clubs for draft picks/players when you clearly knew they had serious health issues, No we wont talk ethics with Hawthorn...

Carlton contested Buddy like they did when the game was up for grabs and they were trying to win the game. Nobody says Hawthorn should have gifted Fev a goal, that would be rubbish. However, to go out of their way to deliberately stop him when it has zero impact on them, dropping back 4 players onto him is disgusting.

Say what you like about carlton but this quote from Ratten sums up a few things I am thinking:

Asked about Hawks concentrating on Fevola, Ratten replied: "I suppose maybe we could have done that at the start (on Franklin), I suppose that's the way he (Clarkson) has seen it."

Pressed on the subject, Ratten said "they were only 70 points up".

Ratten was then asked what he would have done in the same situation.

"I won't answer that," he said.

OK, get your history right first my friend.
Hodge was pick 1, when Fremantle finished last. We were not rewarded for bad performances or tanking, only smart trading. Trading being the operative word, not buying.

Everyone can have an opinion on this, but if the ball is coming into defence and you know where its going, you don't deserve to play if you don't try and stop him. Disgusting to suggest we pretend we don't know where the ball is going and allow him to mark and goal. He was beating Croad, so we tried to stop the goals. Simple. Hawthorn played as they would in any game of the season. A player is dominating, shut him down. If it was round 2 and this happened it would be no issue. Treating it differently in an attempt to fabricate history will diminish the game because his ton would be tarnished. He wouldn't have earned it every week. The milestone can only preserve its sacred nature by making sure there is a fair structre all through the season.

Exactly! There were two Hawks five metres of the drop of the ball stopping his run at the football while not making any attempt for a mark - free kick every day of the week.

Thing is, it wasn't proper football. Hawthorn had three blokes at one point during the last and another three standing 10 metres in front blocking the space - hardly "proper" football.

Stopping an obvious threat of scoring a goal = proper football ?
Me thinks so, carlton say no?

6 men on one footballer = not proper football. Play two on his shoulder and one blocking the space is what you'd normally see when Fev and Franklin are dominating, but the lengths the Hawks went to in the final quarter to ensure Fev didn't score the 100th was anything but normal. Hell, after kicking his 5th, Roughead went and sat in the space in front of Fev, even when the Hawks were scoring far easier than we were with Roughead up forward. Why change your structure when you were kicking 2 goals to our 1 in that last quarter?

Because they're a bunch of c-bangers.

Why would anyone want to debate something with a guy who has his head fixed rightly up his ass and won't accept anyone else's opinion anyway.

The lengths Hawthorn went to in the last quarter to stop fevola were over and above what would have been considered necessary in a game of football considering the 70 point margin. I have never in my life seen a team flood like that when they were so far ahead with such little time to go. Ever. The lengths the Hawks went to in order to stop fevola were put in place solely to stop him from kicking his ton and this was highlighted by Chance Bateman's fist pumping as the final siren sounded when he'd had 90 minutes to soak up the joys of victory beforehand.

FFS, it happens to Buddy every week.
Fev has to learn to deal with it just the same.
