Game Day - R18 vs Hawks

[troyjones2525]

I feel we are gone! Hawthorn are a very good side and to write them off as flag favourites is a huge mistake! They are the team to beat and we need to play at our absolute best to beat them! But will be happy to eat humble pie! :-)

I think we've lost this ..our defence is having a bad night ...

Kind of think this is a bit of a break out night for Gary despite the result we end up with.

[Ampersand]

Tippett , Parker and Reid need to stand up in the last.

Agree that Goodes needs to go off. He pretty much cost us the last goal with his poor defence.

[unconfuseme]

Umpiring is woeful

... we win the centre, Bird gets pinged for going too long in a tackle, next centre bounce he's tackeld without it, play on! ... surely if a player runs with the ball, and is tackled to the ground, he cant then release it???

... be a better game if the players umpired themselves - at least McGlyn knows when a ball is touched!!!

Worse i have seen since round 1 against GWS, think we will lose this one.

Geeez grundy's been subbed off

[aguy]

Here we go.

[Ampersand]

Grundy subbed off?! Dumbest call of the year IMHO.

[barry]

Longmire has just thrown the game.

Tactical move to keep the academies?

[annew]

We should never have a bye

Yep why would you sub Grundy when we are being beaten

[troyjones2525]

Game over early! Hawthorn kicking superiority really showing us up tonight! Hopefully the loss we need to kick start our finals tilt!

[Mel_C]

The frees in the centre are costing us!

First 2 goals to hawks...not looking good.

Oh BTW - channel 7 or channel Hawthorn? Can't even listen to their appalling commentary.

I did think so! It's good to know I wasn't just being the biased fan I am

[Zlatorog]

Game over people. I hope they get their game together for in-form Essendon next week.

[troyjones2525]

On a bright note! Gary Rohan has been good down back! A bit of a look into the future!
