With the two Perth teams losing the race for the 8 is really wide open

Only Brisbane is now totally out of the running - Carlton & Sydney are basically 2 games out of the 8 as they have a game in hand

Obviously we aren't going to make the 8, but there's certainly hope for a team like North whose 4-7 but been playing better footy than we have

While it wasn't a good weekend for the Hawks, it's a wonderful long weekend here in the west. For the second consecutive weekends, both local teams have lost :dancer::dancer:
In addition, Bombers lost and I just realised Sydney's run home in a hope to make the finals includes Bulldogs (at home), Cats (away), Crows (away), Giants (away) and Hawks (away). Budd and Tippet contracts don't pay off for another year... :D:D:D

Not a fan of Goddard but l can't see him knocking over a cup of cordial after the game because he's a bit pissed off as
deserving of the ridiculous amount of media attention its getting.
Same. Don't like it? Get the cameras out of the rooms for crying out loud!

It's all been positive attention though. "It's so good to see a player so passionate"

If it was hodge though...

Hodge wouldn't do that sort of thing though. He strikes me as more of a bloke that if he has an issue that he confronts it front on, not taking it out on a bowl of pretzels.


Now if you had said Clarko.......
Then yes, the media reaction would of been very different

Unfortunately that is the price to pay for the millions in TV rights
I can speak from experience they are for the whole 2.5 to 3 hours from when everyone arrives and everybody is aware it's a workplace and certain things are not tolerated in this day and age

Funny thing is it's not what people want to see. All I ask for is decent coverage and commentary that doesn't make my ears bleed.

I suggested on the Cats board that Hawkins had jumper-punching form and was sent a message by the MRP. They disagreed with that assessment. Apparently other people are reported and that means something something Hawkins' actions are ok somehow. Thin skinned bunch.

Don't try telling them that they're the koalas of the AFL then (protected species) ...

Did you see that goal?!?!

I miss Brad Hill. Smith really has to fight so much harder for every possession now that hill is gone.
Hill would've shat his dacks in that situation if he was still wearing Hawthorn colors. Nice to see he's no longer trying exceptionally hard not get hurt.

Seems to be a lot of conjecture about what was in the cup... so far I've heard cordial, gummies, pretzels... anyone got anything else? :p :D
It looked like pretzels or biscuits. Pretty disgraceful performance by Goddard. Complete disrespect for those providing the drinks and snacks.

It had to be lollies. Why on earth would they have pretzels or biscuits at half time?

Just on this issue, I differ from most. Whether cameras were there or not, I don't like to see that type of thing from senior players. When I was a young footballer, I looked to the senior players to set examples, not carry on like idiots. It's all part of leadership and good teams have good leaders. Goddard's just a turd, and he just left them there for someone else to pick up. "Passion" is entirely different to behaving like a dickhead.
