      I cant understand why we are playing Rohan and Reid down back - our forward line is Buddy and that is it at the moment.

      A seriously disappointing first half performance - but in particular those awful last 5 minutes. Going in a goal down is a lot different to 3 goals down.

      We just seem back to our slow, behind the play problems from the first six weeks. Need someone to seriously stand up in the 2nd half and help buddy, he can't do it all himself.

      Gee we are missing Lloyd too - anyone needs evidence of just how important he is to our structure, tonight is proving a perfect example.

        Yes, think I'd prefer Rohan providing forward pressure.

          So frustrating as this is a game we could have set up against beautifully if we we were flexible with our transitions and our backline transitions

          Honestly we have been so out coached it is not funny !!!

          Even if the hawks loose this game and we win our way back - it is still rediculous to get ourselves in a position right now where we have no answer......no counter......no strategic accountability

          ie first two qtrs to look so dumb as a football team

          To have no positive strategy to affirm against a game style we have seen for years at the hawks

          Come on !!!

            Melican very good. Buddy better. Jones killed momentum with very poor effort kicking for goal. Heeney with costly, lazy turnovers. Reid having one of his many off games. Sinclair back to dropsies. Hodge is a deadset wanker.

              Clarkson seems to be following the Carlton model and denying us the ball.

              Hope the Swans can counter it in the second half

                One of the softest free kicks you'll ever see - ridiculous.

                Melican is a beauty, simple as that.

                  The SCG and home crowd hasn't been a bonus this year .
                  They have played bloody awful footy at home.

                    It's half time we are losing but I don't think words like disgusting woeful embarrassing and shocking tell the real story. Hawthorn are up for this game I knew they would be they were written off by all the experts so obviously they are a proud club who wanted to make a point. However they won't be able to keep this up in my opinion. Too many unproven new players and statistically this year they fall away in the second half. Most of our players are down from recent weeks so they will bounce back. Swans to still win by 20 plus

                      So who hit Hodge with an elbow and will get suspended. Just got the end of the conversation on TV.

                      Rohan in defence. Too loose and not a smart enough footballer to play back.

                        Because we decided to take an extra ruckman into the game instead of a defender (Aliir). I'm sure our extra ruckman will get us over the line.

                            The most disappointing part of all this is that I was happy to resign this as a lost season 3 weeks ago but we then put together some blistering form the last few weeks and got my hopes back up! To come out and put in another performance like this, against a hated arch rival no less, has been devastating so far!

                              Taste of his own medicine, maybe? Hodgey is known to run through players with his elbow up...

                              What a great player Jones is becoming, I sure hope he re-signs with us. He's the mongrel we need.

                                Looked to me as if it hit his shoulder and Hodge played for the free.
