Game Day Round 7, 2025: West Coast vs Hawthorn (aka Midfield Pressure at Any Price: The Tom Barrass Story)

[Ambrose Burnside]

Also hope Ginnivan gets a few weeks for this. Dog act.

I ****ing hate Hawthorn

 

[CursoryMercenary]

Umps were ****ing garbage but it comes with the territory when it comes to our games.

50 points probably flattered us they should have won by 80 +

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Beat the line somehow.

Ginnivan with a dick kick and second lash out gets no coverage and we spend all week looking at fair bumps from Gov and Duggan? Or maybe Harley Reid microscope action?

Love the news cycle.

Onto the next one, our first W of the season coming up.

 

[WA footy mad]

She only made 1 decision in our favour she is another victorian umpire we need neutral umpires especially in the finals

 

[Mulldogg]

There’s no way known that a 24-11 free kick count West Coast’s way at Optus gets past the commentary team. Absolute crickets when it is the Hawks getting gobbed off at Marvel.

No impact on the result but Blind Freddy could see that this was coming this weekend.

 

[VicBased]

That should be a 8 week ban. Disgusting

Bet it won't even be looked at

 

[Cuzz09]

Nah Nate you're a ****ing idiot
He's not being mysoginistic. He is calling her a her cause she is a she the same as if it was a male umpire he would be say he is a shit umpire.

She is a shit umpire and it's well know SHE hates the eagles.

thank you wasn't being sexist but its 2025 and you can't say anything

I don't remember any of the other 3 umps today being singled out but that must be a coincidence I guess

 

[UseR2006]

For those that want those moving images.

 

[Bender_]

What do you need explained?

Your post says he's been good in the backline then you want him moved to the midfield?

 

[WA footy mad]

Hutchinson played really well today. He ias turning out to be a mid season steal

 

[cacik]

We made watson earn something, and he didn't like it. I like that!

 

[Smotie2]

Lol I've been calling all of them out all game and so have others.

you must be blind. If she's a she what would you like her to be referred to as?

It?

 

[Bacchus]

Hutchinson played really well today. He ias turning out to be a mid season steal

You think so?

I thought he was really fumbly and is not a midfielder

 

[dinnaz]

Jeremy "sit the **** down son" McGovern & Ginnivan getting poleaxed by Duggan were the best parts

 

[UseR2006]

Hutchinson played really well today. He ias turning out to be a mid season steal

Needs to improve his Disposal efficiency.



42% ain't going to cut it.

 

[cacik]

For those that want those moving images.

That's called a hip to the ribs btw you lil entitled *****

 

[Broken_Chairs]

For those that want those moving images.

Watson pushes HR in the back in the first - free kick Watson
Watson cops a textbook bumb - free kick Watson

 

[frenchconnection]

You sure you aren't watching 2018 eagles?

We have virtually no pressure around the football necae the 20 scoring shots to 9 lol

Too many negative Nancy’s on here and at least it’s good to see somebody posting with a bit of positivity for the future albeit it will take some time as it appears to me too many unrealistic expectations for where we are.

 

[Westend]

Okay I thought the lads tried hard today

Can someone explain to me how a football team can only get 11 free kicks for the game?...while one player for that team gives away 6 ??...thats one player giving away over half the free kick we received ??

Seriously are we that bad ...dont we know to get a free kick is it the players the coaching why can't we get free kicks compared to the opposition who always are on the positive ledger against us for free kicks ?

 

[archiemoses]

I only saw this game in patches but every time I did.. I saw Oscar get beaten in defence.

 

[Sammy J]

Ginnivan has major Joffrey vibes. Hate the dude.

 

[Ochre]

Lol I've been calling all of them out all game and so have others.

you must be blind. If she's a she what would you like her to be referred to as?

It?

If she was the worst, how do you rank the other 3s performances individually today, and how do they rank among the other 30-40 umpires this season?

Cheating isn't in our game plan yet, once you've got the game plan and top 8 looming then you can do the little knee drops and hold your head when you get tackled etc.. plus we need to get to the ball first hehe. Umpires will give it if you're relevant

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Into the autopsy thread folks. Umpire chat is finished thank you (unless it’s to point out Hawks are now 7-0 and +45 on the year).
