3 recent flags but the Cats are nearly as broke as Brisbane. Why?

Last week before I was given a little holiday for mistaking the main board for the bay (gee they are a thin skinned lot on the mb aren't they?)
I was having a lovely chat with you handbaggers about how you should all be scared that Hawthorns gamble with gun foward Ryan Burton has paid off with him recovering from his risky surgery and running out for Box hill.
Now you failed to show an appropriate level of terror and mentioned things like "how many disposals" etc. etc.
Well this week in his first full game he got 16 possessions.......... and 8, count them 8 scoring shots.
First full game.
Be afraid- be very afraid.

The same VFL that Lang, Clark and Horlin-Smith dominate in? VFL ≠ AFL.

Nakia's account has been hijacked surely.

Usually smart and good to talk to.

Rioli suspended for that. Give me a break. A perfect bump.
It was graded as high contact so it couldn't have been too perfect, hence the fine.

Now under the letter of the law it's a suspension is it not?

Bearing in mind he overran the ball and went the man.

Anyway, fruitless arguing.

Was it graded high?

How?

He didn't hit him in the head. Believe me I was so worried I paused and slow mowed it over and over.

Cyril Rioli, Hawthorn, has been charged with engaging in rough conduct against Clayton Oliver, Melbourne, during the first quarter of the Round 20 match between Hawthorn and Melbourne, played at the MCG on Saturday August 6, 2016.

In summary, he can accept a $1000 sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the Melbourne Football Club, the incident was assessed as careless conduct with low impact to the head.

Graded as low impact... Spare me.

The letter of the law says that's a suspension.

Actually looked it up and low impact is a fine.

I still don't believe he hit him in the head.

Even at low impact he would have KO'd him.

That all depends on who the player in question is. Oliver's as hard as a cats head.

Someone like Murdoch and the same force is graded different.

Murdoch's knocked out and misses the next week.

They brought the rule in so as players play the ball not the man.

VFL does not equal AFL, how very very true (13>9).
Clark is a reject and a goose plus he's pushing 30.
Horlin Smith is average at best atm from the little ive seen may come good but mid 20s....
Lang could be a good player- still a kid.

Burton on the other hand is 19 and a ******* gun who destroyed the competition at under 18 lvl. and would have been number one in last years draft if not for the doubt if he would ever recover from the surgery he needed.
Hawthorn rolls the dice............... He recovers.
First full game- 8 scoring shots.
Buddy Franklin mk2 in the making puddytatts!

fear us
I'll miss this thread when we beat the Cats in the GF. Have loved it and besides Nakia and Chappy the rest will go awol. Maybe Hoops.
I'm praying it happens... The match not the result. ;)
I have a fat just thinking about this.


If the game eventuates the cat fans will be going all in with a pair of aces for their last attempt at coming close to even in this rivalry.

The hawfies of course will win with 4 of a kind.
