AFL Toast Rnd 14: Clipped the Hawkes wings

[Doss]

Nice way to bring up our 100th win against that mob.

 

[bomberlegend2007]

20 years of hard-fought marketing, development and effort in Tasmania from the Hawthorn Football Club all to be well outnumbered by their own locals in their own backyard in a Round 14 game.

To be fair, Hawk supporters will only flock during the golden times. As fickle as they come.

my hypothesis is that Draper's game was the best game by an Essendon ruckman that did not involve hitting the scoreboard since the days of Hille/Ryder. I will investigate later

Bellchambers had a 3 touch, 40-50 hitout game against GWS a few years back IIRC where he torched them with like 10 score involvements without hitting the scoreboard.

 

[Goat Hird]

I like that we gave them false hope lol

 

[windyhill]

How many home grounds does a club want ?
Marvel. Optus. University of Tasmania. MCG.
Massive ******* club.

 

[Falcon27]

Crowd unbelievable.
AFL pour money into Suns and continue to neglect heartland footy.
wakeup call that AFL should be sending the bigger clubs to Tassie.

Jonesy was incredible

Do not mind winning ugly, one bit.

 

[mike14]

Winning is winning, even when it's ugly.
Had quite a few with average to poor performances overall, but everyone got involved in some way. We really need to get another legit midfielder back in the rotation.
Hopefully that's blown the cobwebs from the bye out.

 

[andleanback]

So many players had mare’s and we still won. Take the points and move on.

Jake ******* Stringer ladies and gentlemen

Great return by the big fella, is due for a sustained run on the park.

 

[raskolnikov]

2 wins and percentage above Carlton.

They may well be neglecting Tassie but in term of market and TV revenue it does not bring them more money. People in Tasmania already watch AFL.
Gold Coast is a long term plan in a new market in one of the biggest growth areas in Australia. Placing them in the same basket is simply small thinking.

 

[BratPack]

Ugly as sin. But a win is a win.

Just loved that win, Jake carried us on his shoulders! Kids were down, but others lifted when needed. Heaps of improvement in us. Exciting times.

 

[Tazdog]

If jones doesn't get the rising star nod, who does?

 

[ant555]

Just need to sort the turnovers and keep working on getting our team defense working as a better rate. We are currently at 5/10 . Need to find a consistent 7/10 level.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

For every minute of that game I aged 3 minutes.

James Stewart mark in the last minute sums it up. Instead of going back and taking all the time in the world and pumping it forward, he looks inside to move it on quickly but realises it's not on. Please.

Great game by Jake and our best 6 were a little better got us over the line.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

Hmm?

 

[DERO]

Plenty of players well-down and we still won which is pleasing.

Also, pay Jake whatever he wants.

 

[Petrify]

If jones doesn't get the rising star nod, who does?

Nobody. Has to be him. No other real standouts

 

[Petrify]

Any Tassie Bomber at that game, massive ******* props, what what a loud mob
