Watching the replay. Bloody annoying. Needs to go back to the Rex Hunt school of nicknames before he can start rolling it out every 3 minutes.If I heard Howie one more time banging on about “The Athletic One” I was ready to throw a shoe through the tv. Howie, have you heard of a bloke called Jack Payne?
The idea that anyone would've caught Weddle was a bit weird.No other player was chasing Weddle or coming across to add pressure. Perhaps the implied pressure of Froggy chasing him meant he pushed harder than his capacity, so when he got within range he had nothing left in the tank and left his shot on goal 10 meters short.
Players all have different attributes, and a reality that some players will be faster than others.

In that chase down the wing Lester did not look like giving up - as always he gave a totally committed 100% effort that kept the pressure on Weddle to muck up - which he did - just ask his Coach in the box.I too don't think Lester's spot is in danger, is a premiership player and doing a good role, but Weddle ran away from him yesterday whilst bouncing the ball at least three times down the wing and almost scored a goal.
While very happy with the response I think it needs to be said that was a surprisingly dysfunctional Hawks' side.
Well done Noah, Charlie and Cal in particular for answering the critics. Thought Kai played his best game for the year too.

If one umpire calls a free against for staging and another umpire calls a free for for high contact at the same time what happens?Also it baffles me how players are allowed to encourage, pretend there is head high contact.

Obviously being able to communicate isn't being used when one umpire calls advantage to the Lions and the other umpire gives a 50 m penalty to Hawthorn.If one umpire calls a free against for staging and another umpire calls a free for for high contact at the same time what happens?
Dunstall pumped him up tonight
I actually like it when he calls games
He cant seem bias glad they all love him too.The guys on the Hawks GD board were going ballistic over Dunstall's commentary. Apparently he hates the Hawks
I honestly thought he was biased towards the Hawks yesterday . Riding very kick.He cant seem bias glad they all love him too.
Calls it how it is unlike some of the other idiots that call games
Lester really is undroppable. I’ve been following VFL / AFL for over 55 years and the general rule is you don’t drop players who have strung together a couple of seasons of consistently strong football and are still bringing it week in week out. Additionally, Lester is one of those rare players who has become culturally significant among our playing group because he leads by example and is completely fearless and selfless.Lester has years of synergy training with this group. His judgement of when to stay and when to go is sublime. That forward run in the gf, wow.
Even if they are exactly the same lester will perform better at this point in time.
Doedee obviously needs time to develop that synergy, but swapping them will cost us in the short term.
How short we don't know, but it's a massive risk in a premiership contending year.
Experience says lester would cope with being dropped but i won't.
Stone?They have to get on a stone, paper, scissors to see who wins.
Perfect. Two losses & down to 6th. Should bring the best out of them this week against the Pies. Love to see it.Hawks down to 6th now
My wife (who does not follow the footy) was doing other things on the couch while I was watching the game and she comes out with 'they don't seem to be as dismissive of the Lions as they normally are' ... was interesting not only that she had picked up on the standard bias but also that she spotted an adjustment this game!I honestly thought he was biased towards the Hawks yesterday . Riding very kick.
Maybe that's how biased I am.
Absolutely. I loved that chase. What it did was it meant Weddle couldn’t go inboard and had to stick to the boundary line, spending all his petrol tickets. Inspirational play by Lester!The idea that anyone would've caught Weddle was a bit weird.
Froggy's deceptive. He did a great job to keep up.
I’ve got no such concerns. It is a long season, particularly for non-Vic clubs with all the travel. To be up all season would be a massive ask, to have a bit of a down phase, while disappointing may be beneficial/required in terms of mental recovery - particularly when we have the wins on the board.My only nagging doubt is whether we've let "playing on emotion" creep in a bit over the past few weeks (that I seem to recall David Noble mentioning a few years ago). We get up against Nth/Mel, and should have gone on with both of them, but we switched off as if we had nothing to play for. We did have a point to prove against Hawthorn (bogey team, we're on the rebound, etc), and low and behold, we win, and win well.
Yep this. Without the pressure he could have run it in for a goal. Impressive effort from Lester as usual.
It was not as good as this from ruckman John Ironmonger, who stood 200cm and weighed in at 118kg, but it was a gutsy effort from Lester.
