This is killing me... it is going to be Hawks by 60 at this rate...

They're lucky not to be further down than 11 points. Terrible disposals, wasting forward surges. Papley literally has 0% kicking efficiency tonight. We won't beat the Hawks like this. Umpires haven't been kind, either.

I really really really hate hearing Bruce commentating hawks games. It is so nauseating.

We are struggling big time at the moment as I suspected it would happen at some stage. Hopefully we can hold on and not let the lead get too far away.

Any chance we can get a holding the ball??

Where's Kieren? I think I have seen him once.

Sorry, holding the ball frees are reserved for Hawthorn only. Didn't you get the memo?

[barry]

We are good when our bottom 4 play well but @@@@@@, towers and mcglynn are having shockers

[Cosmic Wizard]

Benny has really lost it!

Can't believe he is back in the side.

Time to make the call on him

[Maltopia]

I think the three games in 12 days is a factor, Hawthorn are finding easy uncontested marks repeatedly as our defensive pressure has fallen away.

[Auntie.Gerald]

That was the Hawks dominating possession via their spread kick and catch at their best in the second half

But they didn't get much reward

11pts ahead only

Fascinating 3rd qtr coming up

I just loved how quickly he shut the @@@@ up when Cyril missed the kick after he'd done his business anywhere on that decent mark.

That was an utterly abject quarter - close to our worst all year. Surely we can't play that bad in the last 2 quarters - at least we are only 11 points down, it could be so much worse. Almost everyone were passengers in that quarter - just terrible. I hope Horse gives them an almighty rocket at half time or the dawks will flog us.

Don't forget about Papley, in fact we would be doing better if he wasn't there at all.

[barry]

@@@@@@ = mc hack

[dimelb]

We aren't holding our marks, Hawthorn nail theirs almost every time.

And our tackles aren't sticking, need to go in harder and hang on tighter.

I couldn't believe we picked him on the basis of what I saw in the ressies last week.He got plenty of the ball in that match but hacked it around like nothing else, and is continuing in the same vogue tonight.

Towers and Papley having awful games as well.

Shocking selection.

McGlynn is a hard nut, that's why he is in the side tonight. I love Benny, little man, big heart.
