Match Day Thread Rnd 19 Hawthorn V Sydney. MCG. 19.50 pm.

Mitchell has only had it twice

Free against Parker inside 50. No genuine attempt. Joke.

I don't know but probably Stevic's kid - umpires as badly as him.

Why do these Hawthorn matches always seem scripted? Always the same old @@@@. Even when they're a shell of their former selves we can't steal an easy win.

Either we have us psychologically traumatized or Clarkson just knows what Longmire is going to do.

Hawthorn just chip, chip, chip into their forward line and then when the ball hits the deck they pounce all over it.

I hate complaining about umpiring buts it's @@@@@@@. Sinclair clearly pushed under ball much more so than the one the other end

Most obvious free kick of the night so far yet not even a pep from the Hawks cheer squad in the commentary box.

Free against Parker inside 50. No genuine attempt. Joke.

Horrendous decision

[AB Swannie]

A few rushed behinds but I'm sick of seeing us start so many games with scores like 2.7. Can't we please start one game with more goals than behinds?

[Billericay]

We'll just need to beat them despite the corrupt umpiring

[mcs]

Parker high contact inside 50, no free kick. Are you kidding me? Absolutely criminal. 11-4 free kicks if anyone was wondering.

Accidental 'poke to the eye' according to wankervany..... looked like an arm across the nose to me, but we know they aren't watching the same game we are.

[Blue Sun]

Leading every key stat including shots at goal, but not leading the one that matters. Hopefully the Swans can put them to the sword in last 3. Was it Bruce or Duck that mentioned Hawthorn haven't been good after quarter time?

[Mel_C]

These umpires are really giving me the @@@@s but I shouldn't be surprised.

How are the Hawks allowed to block the man on the mark when you are not allowed to be in the protection zone??? Happens every time.

Any touch and they get a free.

Important goal by Hewett on the siren.

Does Buddy have anything to worry about with a hit on Hodge? Darcy on Triple M has him rubbed out for a week.

We are lucky to only be that far behind with the poor first quarter we had. Really been rattled by their tactics again

Good to see us open them up a couple of times late - first for the Parker behind, then the Hewitt goal. Need to take the game on and we can cut their tactics to shreds - even with their extra buddies in green.

The script is too similar to blame it on the umpires.

Bulldogs, yes.

Hawthorn are just mentally stronger than us.

@@@@ing Hodge is still and always will be a @@@@. Pissed off the @@@@ will be in the media for the next decade or two. I can think of nothing worse than to tolerate that @@@@ bloke for another decade.

Made contact with high shoulder and slipped up off the greasy shoulder to the neck, football incident, free kick relayed, dealt with on field.

Stevic stepping up in critical moments for them!

Absolutely BB - but we shouldn't accept absolutely sub optimal umpiring either.

[Blue Sun]

Dangerous tackle??????? Are you serious? It was a front on chest tackle, I don't understand.
