Preview Gameday Thread. Hawks Vs Port

[LukeParkerno1]

10.8 68 to 9.9 63 to the Hawks

Thanks hopefully you win, as that way Carltank can't finish higher than 7th!

 

[AG]

Rioli was seriously swinging then. First though was something racial because I've never seen Rioli even show the slightest bit of anger on the field before.

 

[Jaeger]

Cyril definitely threw a few. Could be in trouble.

Port are a pack of filthy weak dogs.

 

[Flamin Joe]

This game has serious potential to derail our finals push. Injury free but now could end up with a few star players missing and if we lose...

 

[Pessimistic]

Thyril the Thug !!

Rest him and freshen up for finals !

Ironicaly Butcher Vandenburg comes in to seperate Buddy and Brogan !!

GO Hawks - need to win now cyril !!

 

[JoondalupJ]

hard to see on my t,v who is reported what does any one think. We don't need any one missing this time of year and also our blokes only have to look the wrong way and they get reported or free kicked against!

 

[bigbuddyboy]

what the hell was that?

Did rioli actually connect with anything then? Bloody stupid by him.

 

[Brant]

Rioli lucky to play another game this yr now...

Those were my first thoughts.

I reckon he could've been hit behind play. I've never seen him lose his cool like that.

 

[RustyHawk]

The replay shows as Birchall storms down the middle to kick the goal a Hawk and port player are wrestling on the half forward flank.

Looks like Rioli is shown throwing some punches into the face of some port scum.

Roughie and I think brogan involved in a big wrestle.

Rioli starting 4th on the bench.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Cyril, you can have a rest for a few weeks, mate.

Gee, he didn't hold back.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Who knows with the MRC though guys..

Hams gets 4 weeks for a legal tackle..Mumford gets 4..Judd gets 0 for a tackle that should have got weeks! The media love Cyril so that will wok in his favour.

 

[Sewell_Is_Da_Man]

Can't wait til' this game is over, absolute shocker.

 

[LuvMyHawks]

If we play like today, we don't deserve to be in the finals!!

 

[Mojo]

We've been disgraceful! Remnants of our first 7 weeks.

Pretty boring game from a neutral perspective too.

 

[westaussie76]

Apart from playing like s**t can someone please tell me what the f@ck is going on? Cyril throwing punches WTF!!!

Agreed. Will be interesting to see the wash-up out of this. At a guess, I'd say he's looking at 2-4 weeks. However, provocation has been recognised as a defence by the tribunal before (re Headland case), so I'll be very interested to see this. Real shame though for Cyril

 

[reubski23]

I actually didnt see one connect

 

[Pessimistic]

Cyril son - shoulda gone the headlock - thats Ok if provoked apparently !!!

Can only hope - is the only thing that may get him off... Or maybe it will be like the Selwood / Headlamd incident, where despite the injuries & footage the tribunal found that nothing actually happened...

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

At the game,

Didnt see what started the fight but all the hawks supporters here think Cyril will get several weeks.

 

[CaptainHodgey]

Well......that was rather unsociable by rioli

If he goes, it will be a shame. One of the few players as a neutral fan, I'd go and watch. The MRC need to grow a set if he goes.

 

[hawksfan71]

If it turns out racial he might get off, shame to do this on some shitty team we just need to beat over the line and then get to next week......

 

[hawksfan71]

Would have been nice to smash em today, any win will do I guess, reports are going to be horrible, lets cross our fingers!
