Sydney v Hawthorn

[Matt80]

Have I missed the news? Did a Tsunami hit Bondi Beach?

Silly to blame the umpiring.

We are getting soundly beaten at every aspect of the game. It's hard to understand why we look so tired and uninspired. No pressure. Missing tackles. Mistakes all over the ground.

Our midfield is getting totally destroyed.

[CureTheSane]

I haven't seen the umpiring as being distinctly bias either way.
Outplayed, and none of our better player have made their marks.

Some positives - saw Lake gasping for breath and Rioli will be underdone and may be useless in the second half.

Sad that my positives are hopes that the hawks are going to fade...
Expect Longmire to formulate some plans at half time, but the Hawks may be on to that and counter-formulate.

Would be hard to imagine such a one sided second half.

Another positive is that the commentators may be looking for a resurgence and be Swans friendly in the second half.

[ShockOfHair]

Port nearly stole it from 5 goals down. If we lift our intensity I could see us making a game of it. First 10 mins of Q3 will tell.

[Flying South]

I can accept getting beaten by a better team. But I can't accept lack of effort.

Hawthorn have played very well so far eh?

[Blue Sun]

Is it playing north last week? That was less than half the intensity of this

They're rattled, and frankly, not up to winning. Hawks are killing us. It's 42 POINTS! One of the highest margins at half time ever in a GF. It's over guys, I'm sorry to say and I sound so negative right now, but it really is. We've showed nothing. Maybe 2015 will be the year.

Good thing is - can't go any worse than that. Just need Hawks to throw in an equally poor half.... And then????

[Daisi]

Can't blame the umpiring when the team can't seem to tackle, pass or kick the football.......I don't know what else to say...so very disappointed...

[longmile]

havent even shown up

[Ampersand]

At least we have a whole half to process the loss and no heart in mouth stuff at the end. Guess that's a positive??

[Blue Sun]

Sorry to double post, but I cannot believe we've been smashed so badly in a Grand Final, this is abysmal, remember Port back in 2007, thats where we're heading.

I'd be pretty disappointed in myself if I gave up now and they pulled something amazing.
It's unlikely we'll win but I reckon the margin will be pretty close

The sad thing is this is our best team

[Chilcott]

Is there a game on today?
