I did notice Mitchell when Jetta sharked his handball and kicked a goal.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

I thought Mitchell got a fair bit of the ball. Just wasn't as damaging.Comment

Mids kicking goals has not been one of our strong points. No doubt there is a strategy for our mids to get in the forward 50 a lot more often. One thing that Longmire has tweeked. Maybe if Spangher gets back to some form that might change a little. But we are clearly not playing the power forward game.Comment

The new strategy this year is to kick it long to an empty forward line and get one of our speedy mids to beat a defender and to win the ball and kick a goal. A sort of pagans paddock. I have noticed a lot of teams using employing it this year. Well thats how we are using jetta anyway.
They havent coined a term for it yet, like the press or the flood. They are using the spread for now..Comment

Clarkson is copping heaps over on BF. All his fault. Have the best list in the comp. The gameplan sucks etc etc.
Not all his fault...the trip west is why they are tired says others.
Don't you just love it. Early in the season they were unbeatable and apparently they still are. It is just that there are so many compelling reasons they are not winning.
How about no rucks and slow midfield and lack of player will to take on the more taxing new style clubs are playing. No one mentions that Hodge is short of a run and will improve.
May the bleeding continue.Comment

hhhhhmmmmm
Clarko stopped our recent long ball spread for Jetts etc to run onto in the first half and I suspect defence like teh Cats and West Coast can play the loose man and prevent the long bombs.
second half we went in to find the ball at all break downs and they didnt know what hit them which lead to fast breaks which lead to difficulty for their defenders to cover and make two or three on one tall swan going for the ball
our execution of kicks and lead was brilliant also
we have set a new level to achieve week in week out and that is my big plus from the 2nd half display !"be tough, only when it gets tough"

I have just returned home to Melbourne from Launceston and must admit I could have flown home without the aide of an aircraft. Yesterday was just the best. My son's first words this morning were Cheer, Cheer....
Apart from all the wonderful moments mentioned through the thread the thing I most liked about yesterday was watching the players when they weren't anywhere near the ball. They continually talked to each other. When something didn't go right they were encouraging each other or planning the next move. My next favourite part was watching Alex Johnson. He may not get to do the spectacular stuff but he is sooooo cool under pressure. It's hard to believe he is so young. He never looks panicked and he never hangs his head, he just keeps going.
This team makes me so proud.Comment

Forgot to mention the only down sides to the day.
1. Cheer Squad singing the song before the final siren. Not on!!
2. The powers that be not playing the song at the end of the game. Not on either!!Comment

THIS IS NOT A JOKE - THIS IS THE OFFICIAL SUMMARY OF OUR MATCH
YOU ARE TO TAKE THIS VERY, VERY SERIOUSLY AND YOU MUST SEND THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS WHO CARE.
ACCORDING TO THE HAWTHORN SUPPORTERS WHO CALLED SEN TODAY, AND THIS IS VERY SERIOUS STUFF.....
WE DIDN'T WIN ; THEY LOST THE GAME.
PLEASE DO NOT LAUGH... IT IS AS TRUE AS ANY FACT EVER PRESENTED
AND WHAT WE MUST ALL UNDERSTAND IS THE REASON THEY LOST THE GAME IS NOT BECAUSE THEY ONLY KICKED 2 GOALS IN THE SECOND HALF....NOT BECAUSE THEY TOSSED IT IN...NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE COMPLETELY OUTPLAYED...NO, THEY RAN OUT OF LEGS, AND THIS IS RATIFIED BY THE FACT THAT WCE ONLY JUST BEAT RICHMOND. THE FACT THAT WCE TRAVEL EVERY SECOND WEEK IS IRRELEVANT.
YES IT WAS THE GAME IN THE WEST LAST WEEK THAT IS AT FAULT AND THE FIXTURE.
THEY HAVE HAD TOO MANY HARD GAMES IN A ROW.
DISMISS THE FACTS THAT SYDNEY TRAVELLED TO ADELAIDE, THEN PLAYED NORTH IN A FOOT OF WATER, THEN TRAVELLED SOUTH TO TASSIE AND PLAYED ON A GROUND THEY HADN'T PLAYED ON BEFORE.
FORGET THE FACT THAT HAWTHORN HADN'T LOST THERE FOR 2 YEARS. THEY JUST GOT TIRED AND IT IS ONLY ROUND 5 YOU KNOW.
THEN THEY ONLY HAVE A 6 DAY TURNAROUND TO PLAY THE SAINTS THIS WEEK.
SO PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL AFL SUPPORTERS SO THEY UNDERSTAND AND CAN SYMPATHISE WITH THEM.Comment
