Is it? I hate Hawthorn so much particularly with a ride like that which happens far too often to be a coincidence. 19 feee kicks and 2 50 metre penalties to 5 free kicks in the second half. Look at Sam Mitchell he deserves to have his face punched in.

It's beautiful when it's the crows, we all know we will get it in the rectum again this weekend and then I'll hate it.

And don't forget, the crows had a dozen more frees in the first half and couldn't do anything with them.

Doesn't make Hawthorn any more likeable, a gaggle of flogs.

 

[Coobk001]

Great result but diabolically poor spectacle.
Last couple of weeks there's hardly been one decent match.

Absolutely identical to our Canberra cold game. The conditions and a defensive mindset seem to create horrible footy

 

[Schulzenfest]

Meek for the highly touted ruck he is, has been quite poor.

Meek is only good if you look at Supercoach scores rather than watching games. Slow, poorly skilled plodder.

No Lindy from Gawler?

She’s most probably doing laps of the dog track.

 

[chiwigi]

Neither of those sides tonight are serious contenders

Yup, two teams built for the regular season.

 

[JHF1870]

I think this is concerning for Adelaide. They can't win the premiership relying on the forward line

 

[Andy_B]

football was the winner tonight

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Port Adelaide doesn't do last quarter's.

We did one last game but this year they have not been our thing.

 

[Doctor Feel]

9-5 teams i dont think would win premierships.

 

[Grave Danger]

Was it there? Please say no


Fogarty is pinged for slamming the ball OOB on the wing, Jiath sends a high ball to 30m, Meek taps over the back for Gunston to feed Newcombe, goal Hawks!

 

[Ford Fairlane]

No Lindy from Gawler?

She is too incandescent with rage

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

The AFL - to back up their insitence on a roof for the new stadium.

Deliberate by the AFL. Before tonight's game Hawthorn have played 83 games in Tassie at Launceston since 2001 for a 62-1-20 record.

They have never played a Thursday or Friday night game there before.

They have played 3 twilight games there 2 on Saturday twilight and 1 on Sunday twilight. All 3 were before May.

They have played 2 Saturday night games, one earlier this year and the other one in 2018, once again both before May.

The rest have started 3.20pm AEST or earlier.

He's also good when he's handed a fistful of frees in front of goal against Sweet.

 

[Coobk001]

Agree that maybe they are not in the top tier flag fav category, but i still think the Crows could go through the year only dropping 1-2 more, which should get them top 4. Whilst they clearly have issues and are totally reliant on efficiency going forward, they still have that deadly level of efficiency and a defensive game that is good enough to choke anyone up. So they'll certainly be around the mark. The best teams though should have the edge against them though.

Really they should've lost to us and Brisbane, so a lot of luck theyre riding with injuries and peak form at the moment.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Where are all the Crows bedwetters now?

I mean it’s fair to say they’re not the moist garbage they were 3 years ago.

They could genuinely be in amongst it this year if things go their way.

Their draw helps them greatly but they’re winning and that’s all that matters come finals ladder position

 

[Waspy79]

9-5 teams i dont think would win premierships.

I dare say Brisbane were 9-5 last year. Unfortunately Hawthorn could benefit from finishing 4th and playing an away final at the MCG. I despise that footy club.

 

[Coobk001]

They feel a bit like our 2018 side, set for a crash, but their draw is super soft.

It absolutely was.

It's funny, but if they had lost those games like they should have and we had beaten Essendon and St Kilda like we should have, we would be ahead of them.

Could go either way. A couple injuries and they're ****ed but if they stay healthy they'll probably win all their home games and push for top 4.

 

[philreich]

I guess the Crows will blame the umpires, instead of their woeful goal kicking?

Crows lost the lst qtr free count
Hawks 9 v Crows 4

They’re a fair weather team no doubt and it’s only the second week of June. Plenty of cruddy conditions for them to get through yet. Could easily drop out of the Top 4 but credit where it’s due, they’ve earned themselves a buffer worth an extra game with that PORNOGRAPHIC percentage. GremioPower

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Crows fan on AA thinks that if they kicked more goals they might have won

 

[Coobk001]

Ladder looks weird with GC having 2 games in hand on these teams.
