AFL Toast Rnd 13: Win against the Hawkes

[Lore]

Fantasia just named and shamed him on 7. Commentators talking about now.

The Foxtel coverage was talking about it too and then replayed the channel 7 interview to underline it.

Great win for the new look Bombers .....with all the young ones in and playing well. Lots to look forward to in the second half of the season hopefully .

 

[Tassieboy]

Stratton is such a little bitch.

 

[ghostdog]

EAD you corn speckled faeces campaigners

I lolled a lot. Cheers!

 

[Bombermania]

Really? that will get looked at then.

Probably but the cheer squad should remember for next time.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Disappointed that BT didn’t ask Begley about the golf trip.

 

[blitzer]

I think that was a pretty good win. The game started off in Hawks style with them dominating with their boring uncontested kick kick style. We did well to wrest control after quarter time. Really liking the development of 3rd to 5th year players. Parish, Begley, Langford, Laverde, McGrath, Clarke all going pretty well for us right now. Then the best of the lot Sir Redman - this kid is a budding superstar, can do it all.

Our backline seems fantastic right now. Hurley and Hooker control the skies, Ambrose locks down his man and provides a real physical presence, Saad and McKenna were absolutely terrific rebounding as well as shutting down their men and Redman well does the bloke ever miss a target?

I'm also impressed with our forward line, it just looks so much better with some more mid sized targets in Laverde and Begley. Mobile enough to defend but also able to do some work in the air. I just wish Laverde could at least nail basic set shots. He actually would have had a cracking game if he could have kicked straight at all. I've been pretty critical of Laverde in the past but if he can sort out his set shots and stay fit then I'll happily eat some humble pie.

At least it sounds like Stringers injury probably isn't structural so hopefully he won't be out for long. Our finals hopes are still alive as long as we can nail one of our next 2 games which obviously won't be easy.

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

Wow we worked so hard for that , well done lads. Epic work by our defence especially early on when Hawks were dominating possession. Ithought we were about worth about a 6-8 goal win on ball winning, be nice if we rewarded ourselves for effort more often. I confess I watch with sound muted, can't stand 7 commentary- word on Jake's injury?

And to think he is the Captain.
Great leadership Ben, you bitch! A Disgrace even for the dawks.

 

[Drummer_19]

Nice, most pleasing aspect was minimising their transition, slowing them up off half back and not just letting it trampoline back for easy scores. Life's a lot easier for the backs when the mids/fwds can slow teams in transition.

 

[owen87]

I've never, ever seen a bloke get pinged for diving on it while standing. AFL in 2019!

Much needed win with a couple of tough games coming up.

Someone needs to gif this, free kick Hawthorne in a nutshell.

Tell ya what, I think something is going to come out about Bellchambers saying some bad s**t to somebody. Just an inkling.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Great win when we needed to! Cya later Hawkes, EAD Stratton you pinching flog.

What did he do?

 

[scatman john]

Good win. Should’ve won by eight goals but switched off a little and the hawks got some umpire assistance late on.

Disappointed in Stratton. He was always my favorite of their playing group. Great player and seems like a good guy. Not sure what’s going through his head ...probably not a lot.

Need to beat GWS as next week won’t go our way

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

What did he do?

You at the game? pinching fanta from the start...bruises all over the back of his arm.

 

[Duckworth]

What did he do?

Back of Fantasia's arm covered in bruises from pinching.

 

[Shanghaistu]

Cannot believe how hard the umps tried to get hawkes over the line in the last quarter

Guess you didn’t see the Fremantle game then....

 

[horj89]

Have missed the last two weeks due to being overseas. Clarke has had plenty of it but how has his disposal been? Has he looked comfortable with ball in hand?

 

[jmoo wan]

That’s a lot of subsequent offences

 

[Matthew_Lloyd]

Darcy ******* Parish

What did he do?

Needs Stratton's face.

 

[Beerfish]

Good to see us not dropping games against rubbish sides for once.

 

[Zach Package]

Really disappointed with how we defended the corridor in transition, Hawks ball use being shithouse going forward and Saad, Redman and McKenna having superhuman powers of recovery saved us.

Other than that it was prettay, prettay, good. Conversion continues to be a little off but we’re creating bulk chances.
