What's most remarkable at this point is that they're literally doing NOTHING different. Killed themselves with chipping around and eventually turning it over in the 1st half, so they just do the same in the second. While Port's pressure has been good and they're working hard to block the space ... this sort of play is making it incredibly easy for them.

Oh and ffs Bruce you complete dickhead ... "Could the Hawks do something remarkable!" ... he did back it up with saying it was unlikely ... but jesus, why bring it up at all.

Hawks goal: "This one's not over!"
Port goal: "And that's the sealer!"
Hawks goal: "Wait, the Hawks aren't done yet!"
Port goal: "Port ices the game!"
Hawks goal: "Could we be seeing one of the most remarkable comebacks in AFL history??"
etc

You really feel like the next goal is going to be so important, don't you?

Our loss to hawthorn is even more disgusting now
Disappointing, yes ... but for it to be disgusting you'd have to completely ignore Hawthorn's injuries, and the fact that they've been more inconsistent this year than we have. They're also on consecutive road trips off consecutive 6 day breaks

Compared to when we played them, Hawks are missing Birchall (granted was injured early on), Cyril, Langford, O'Brien, Frawley, Hartung - lots of premierships etc there. Replaced by Whitecross, Willismore, Cousens, Henderson, Duryea and Vickery. I know which group of players I'd rather have in my team...

When we play bruise free football like we did in the 1st half in that game there is no better word than disgusting for that performance.

I expect Channel 7 love primetime games in Geelong as the ground has limited capacity, so they get more tv viewers. Geelong would rate well anyway as they are a successful club who have only missed finals once in the past decade.
Don't think this would be a factor - Skilled Stadium crows have been higher than Etihad crowds this year, and I don't think Channel 7 are too concerned with the difference of 10-20k viewers

It's hard not to be jealous of the news that Ablett will walk back to the cats at the end of the year. Spose they probably never should have lost him in the first place but geez have they had some luck with blokes wanting to go home.

They get such an advantage. When Prestia wants to come home their is 9 clubs fighting over him. When Danger wants to come home there is 1.

Imagine Ablett Danger and Selwood in at the Centre bounce and then having one of danger or Ablett drift forward

That's a game I'll be muting the commentary on. Dangerwood and the Little Master, then imagine them playing against Cyril or Buddy... I wonder how many violent crimes are the result of poor AFL commentary.

What an absolute peanut. While the fact that he's a media personality is bewildering in itself, how he couldn't work out himself that that is a wildly inappropriate thing to tweet is beyond me.

He's gone full blown Trump on this one, it's actually surprising there isn't a "covfefe" on the end.
Breakfast bourbons got him again

Worst part will be instead of having to hear about how they are all Australian every week even in losses we will have to hear it about all 3 of them.
Is it the greatest midfield of all time etc
