363 possies for 6 goals 8 behinds. This was ugly, pathetic, soft and ineffective. Danny Jacobs had 33 useless stats with 20 meaningless marks.

Hawthorn are the most ugly team, and are gradually ruinging our game with their possesion happy crap. I felt embarrassed for past greats of the club watching rubbish player such as Young, Jacobs and Bateman going possesion happy.

When the Tigers beat a great side in Adelaide playing an original* possession style football to combat the Crows flood last season they were roundly & unfairly lambasted by the football community.

Despite this Clarkson copies it unsuccessfully against a cellar dwellar and the Hawks kick 2 goals in three quarters to get flogged!

1 round down 21 to go and you have already made judgement on Hawthorn.
Must mean Richmond going close to the spoon then, if your judgeing 1 performance.

Yep, it was pretty appalling. But with three players aged over 25 on the field and an average of 56 games per player, the team was incredibly young and way too inexperienced.

With Crawf and Mad Dog coming back next week, it should do a bit to steady the ship, but if it continues there will be some serious questions asked at Hawthorn.
