Can we steal either team fitness staff and coaches

 

[Mister B]

****ing pathetic free kick. Rewarding ducking. What a ****ing joke.

IIRC its about 7 goals from frees

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Watson/Ginnivan/Day all floppers inside 50

 

[melbournehammer]

As far as I am concerned if a player ducks as ginnivan did the free should be against the ducker

 

[Mister B]

**** it. Players just need to start tackling with a swinging arm when these ****wits want to drop their knees and lead with their heads. See how willing these cheating cowards are to do it when they know they will get the shit belted out of them.

It works especially with the comp so close, i cant find the graph i saw the other day F&A for frees but Hawks are on track for a dogs like season of 2016.

probably one of the more underappreciated players in the comp, playing the pressure forward role so well this year

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Chol wouldnt kick that if he tried another 100 times

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Hawks are bloody good regardless if they lose tonight

 

[Mister B]

What the ****. Paid holding the ball and he got dragged down by the neck. Yet they pay clear ducks.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Watson flopped umpire was wise to it

disappointed with the loss after cheering the Hawks all night.

Think they lose the next 3

 

[Mister B]

Think they lose the next 3

Fingers crossed.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

I only saw the last 10 minutes.

But it was enough to remind me why Ginnivan is a ducking cheat.

PS: just got back from the new David Attenborough film. Do yourself a favour - see it.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

3 tough 50/50 games but they dont travel

 

[Jeffers]

Watson/Ginnivan/Day all floppers inside 50

Don’t forget Moore. Drops his knees faster than a you know what

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Its deliberate as well coached that way up to the umpiring to not pay them.

Players are risking serious injury for frees..

 

[The King!]

Just got a hunch, but maybe more
hope

 

[Mister B]

A Ginnivan? A Watson?

 

[Dangas]

Good to see the ducking cheats lose. They had help from their 4 extra players on the field. Good win Suns.

I was astounded at how many times the Hawks threw the ball. Not even trying to handball. They got done for two obvious throws. But there was a passage from fullback, all by hand, where they got a goal and not one handball. Yet they didn't kick until they kicked a goal. Every one was a throw. Obvious throws, not just to me watching the TV. To everyone at the ground, the four Incompetents officiating and to the Universe. STOP THE THROW AND DELIBERATE DROPPING THE BALL. BOTH ARE INCORRECT DISPOSAL!

 

[wolftone57]

Other than that, it was a high quality contest by two very good teams. Notice their ball use? I think Suns wasted it coming inside 50 by bombing far too much. But other than that their ball use was sensational, both teams. Both under huge pressure in slippery conditions. The handling in those conditions, where the humidity causes the ball to be very slippery, was wonderful.

There was a passage in the last where if the Hawks got the ball, the play between the wing and their half forward, they were away and a goal beckoned. Suns players tapped the ball, not being able to pick it up under great pressure, in the slippery conditions, up to six times from three players. They kept control and eventually got the ball out and kicked to a player in their forward half. This was match winning play. A great but of wet weather/slippery conditions footy

Jordan Lewis disappointed with the loss after cheering the Hawks all night.

Yes didn't he. I was astounded when he said the free in the second against Newcombe was not a throw. He stated that players are so good at the quick handball that the umpires can't see them handball. Rubbish. It was a classic throw. He did it again in the last for the same result. If both hands are moving then no matter if your fist is balled, it is a throw. What you are doing is making out to handball but actually throwing the ball. At no time does the balled fist make contact with the ball. It's a throw.

His commentary all night was very biased. Time to stop him commenting on Hawks games
