Elliott Yeo drills that from 55 after the siren. We had Brett Ebert kicking it off his knee.

West Coast have their assistants working feverishly to concoct an action plan to 1) win 2) lose with dignity. We had Phil Walsh telling Mark Williams to tattoo "DON'T SPIT FIRST" around the anus of 137 years of history.

Suddenly we may have a game on our hands. But I'd say 1/2 time came at a good time for the Hawks - they'll come out breathing fire in the third. The Eagles need to absorb that pressure and continue the comeback, or it'll be a boring 4th quarter.

Oh boy, If Hawthorn actually managed to lose this..

It would be the most epic choke of all time.
I'm not sure what i wan't now, Hawks to obliterate West Coast in the 2nd half, or the ultimate Hawthorn choke.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

The lack of Eagles manning up is awful

Its the weagles web!! They wont change that after 26 weeks.

Only 1 less shot and 31 points down doesn't really tell the story. To add to that there were two occasions, Shuey trying to kick a goal when he could have handballed to Cripps in the square( and he saw him but ignored him) and Hurn's miss from a relatively easy shot. Both of these Hawthorn ran it down and scored a goal from the kick out. And Darling's inexplicable kick across goal that led to another goal. Take away the two 11 point turnarounds and the 6 points from the Darling brainsnap and you have a 3-point game. But if is the biggest word in any sport. Hopefully the Eagles will pick up a few goals in the third quarter and we will have a game in the last quarter. Or it's "Gone With The Wind" on GEM for me.

I'm enjoying the Eagles getting smashed into next week. Who gives a **** about how much it's by?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Little known fact - the two biggest margins in VFL/AFL grand finals are well you know and 96 points by Hawthorn over Melbourne in 1988 and I was at both of those games. Now I might not be the only person in Australia that was at both of those games but for a fighting chance to break the hoodoo I should be there. So we better hope for a Port grand final while I'm still around and then hope for the right result!

Imagine if the Eagles win the second half by 31 points.....

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Can we call the game off and start trade period?

 

[PJ Power]

One thing I don't want is an Eagles come back to lose narrowly.
They either win from here or get pummelled, please. We need one of these two teams to carry psychological skeletons into next year.

Darling for the Norm!

 

[Ant Bear]

Random thoughts. ..

Why does Ling bang on about Hawthorn fading late because travel? Last time I looked, it was the same distance from Perth to Melbourne as it is between Perth and ..Melbourne?

Ads after every goal are damn annoying.

Hurn had to kick his set shot. 11 point turnaround and no leadership.

Eagles were expecting Hawks to go the knuckle early. Hawthorn played football.

Nah, I was at both of those. Remembered the 88 game margin, all it did was make me feel more depressed sitting there in the last 1/4 in 07.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I'd laugh if the cabbie won

 

[Greasyrhys]

Who the hell are the Singh guys? Probably cabbies

So we both have to be there.

Some racial stereotyping going on in the GF sprint.

 

[philthy05]

Lol

Nerf melburn

 

[Doctor Feel]

"The first nurf melbun player to win the sprint"

 

[Alyx]

"Congratulations to Majak Daw, the first Nelf Melbun player to win the Grand Final Sprint."

 

[Ant Bear]

Charlie Cameron disgracing the Dangerfield legacy

 

[PAFCsince1870]

Daw could be a hell of a player if it wasn't for the actual playing football part.

Rampaging Roy Slaven reckons the advertising down the side of the yellow pants of the runners was SCABS.
