Respect

[Kildonan]

Geelong and Hawthorn both have earned my respect for a brilliant, hard fought match of football.

Not much of a troll - for Bay 13

But I just had to say it.

Maybe we won't be as busy in here as I originally thought, I suppose the Hodge knockers will have their say, but there were skill errors on both sides tonight.

Hey, the Hawks got done.

That's reason enough to celebrate/troll.

 

[Flawed Genius]

You suppose the Hodge knockers will have their say?

There's 2-3 threads already.

 

[Big Red is back]

Ablett, Ling, Milburn, Chapman (who was on fire)... 4 of the best 6 out... Hawks needed to win this

 

[Kittenish]

It was a really good match.

The only other time I've been this relieved was the GF win last year.

Thanks for a good match. And Chamberlain, Rosebury & Schmitt are the Curly, Larry & Moe of umpiring.

Add Egan and that's five AAs from last year

I'm in America and i only just got up.

What happened to Chapman?

Hamstring, they think

 

[Keys]

Don't tell me who won - the game hasn't started on CH7 over here yet.

lmfao....oh well seems you know by now.

 

[catsgirl17]

Oh

thanks!

 

[Kildonan]

Chappy had tightness in his hammy. Didn't even ice it - just precautionary to speed up his recovery. May miss one or two.

 

[Dogs Aboard]

The team with the two 'power' forwards, that everyone goes on about, hardly had an influence, one has a big head and the other is soft!!!

Geelong haven't even got their full side in.........................................

 

[catsgirl17]

I barely slept last night lol...

Had awful dreams of going to afl.com.au to find out we'd lost by point.

Well done boys!!

 

[Flawed Genius]

Oh

thanks!

All sweet

Atleast we put up a fight, unlike your mob.

 

[winty]

Atleast we put up a fight, unlike your mob.

We were only missing Ling, Ablett and Wojcinski against the Dogs. We were missing Ling, Ablett, Wojcinski, Milburn and Chapman for a half against your mob, and still got up.

 

[Kildonan]

We don't care who you were missing.

EVERY club has vital players missing.

Hawthorn can only play the opposition who are fielded.

But had Geelong not been missing as many players, we would of scored better.

It's not like we're bitching about it, just stating a fact.

When did you become a dawks supporter?

Yes, they played a depleted Cats side & still got beaten, I love it.

 

[Kildonan]

Hawthorn earned my respect - they were in contention and only lost through shooting themselves in the foot (poor disposal). They forced Geelong to play ugly lock it down football. for half of the last quarter. Despite my saying that, Geelong showed that when they dont win it easily, they do have a plan B which allows them to win. They gutsed it out. Selwood is a ripper.

Agree. Great play by both teams. Poor form from any Hawthorn supporter who blames the umps and equally, poor form from any Geelong supporter who points out that they would have won easily with Ablett and co.

You failed to mention that the Cats top players were all missing.

Don't worry, RustyHawk will love you for this thread.

Selwood is a ripper.

How good is he? Unbelievable performance, his appetite for the contest is insatiable.

Great Post and Selwood is phenomenal.
