[erica]

Hope Wests are winning, Al. At least one of us would have a good night.

Ah, so I take it the delayed telecast doesn't get any better, then? I missed Friday Night Lights for this.

awesome show, I have the first two seasons on DVD.

I'm at a loss... can't believe we would put in a performance like this... I still think we will bounce back next year though. the culture of the group overall is pretty strong IMO and I see further improvement in the short-term.

They are NOT better than us ... that is crap ... We are much worse than we know we can be. That makes the Hawks look good, they're not ... The slightest bit of pressure and they will start to falter also. There were glimpses of that. Game plan change. Play ball. Straight down the middle. The Hawks are bloody waiting for us on the wings!!!!

We are so lazy though in our press. Forward pressure is non-existent. Our midfield deserves a massive stray though. Not winning the ball, not working hard enough in defense, fluffing around with hand passes and our forward entries have been shocking. Never been so angry with them. This is a final, Goodesy's last game and they owe it to the supporters and at least themselves to work harder, be better.

God forbid, Hawthorn decide to really put the nail in.

Have I missed something?!

[hot potato]

I hope they had a couple of cans of Red Bull..

[Wardy]

there's the reason why we are losing - they have freakin Ross Wilson as the entertainment!!!

Tigers are winning - so Al will be happy. I'm looking now to find a hotel room for B & F night in the city.

I'm a bit surprised that peopl are shocked by the game. In my mind it's an exact replica of the game in the season. Really open hawks forward line and the swans not able to get the ball over half way. Can't tackle, can't win the ball and really seem now totally shell shocked.

They are - 20-12 20 mins to go. Solid, but not safe yet ....

[Frog]

3rd quarter started

[Bas]

3 minutes to go ... let's see how they come back from pep-talks at half time

I hope they didn't bring Kirk and MOL back for another talk.. I said their talk would be a 40 point difference.

Nothing will bring them back except for a pad lock on the Hawks change room door.

Damn no pad lock.

Dear Horse, Please make josh Gibson accountable

[SwansFan1972]

back on. Switched on? Dunno yet - but hope so!

[Frog]

First blood to the bloods - a point to Jack

[SwansFan1972]

Looking better already! Not hard tho - coming of a somewhat low base!

Hopefully a miracle can make all this doom and gloom look ridiculous in an hour!

[SwansFan1972]

Too bad the seagulls haven't lost interest - still hanging around.

Oh dear. Goal to Bateman - 71-26.
