    Was it BT? He has regular bouts of player misidentification and I assume the same applies to his umpire recognition.

      I dispute that. It was about 10m out. LOL. Clear free there, no disputing that and pathetic umpiring. A blind man couldn't have missed that one.

        Why was there not a review of the goal that Grundy claimed he touched; he called it immediately it was kicked?

          We?ve had a few better centre square players, we?ve had a few better clearance or contested ball players, but I?m not sure I?ve seen a player with a pure attack on the contest and the ball in all its forms since Paul Kelly like Heeney.

          The ball, a hand in, a tackle, a scrap, things in dispute in the air, you name it - he goes so 100 percent hard at it.

          And yes, I know that making any comparison to Paul Kelly is the call it is.

          But Heeney is a beauty and he?s been mighty tonight.

            Chase down pressure has been very good tonight. Probably due to the conditions as well, but Hawthorn haven't been able to play their keeping off game tonight.
            Heeney and Parker were starting to assert themselves in that quarter. Hewett is doing a good job keeping job on Mitchell: nine possessions and I reckon four of them were blatant throws.
            And another five from Ronke would be handy.

              No consistency around the review process.

                This is pretty good. If we can avoid silly turnovers and not bomb it in the air (no names), in with a good chance.

                Who is this Ronke. I like him.

                  We had more of the play that quarter...a shame we couldn't get a couple more goals.

                  The umpiring is frustrating at the ground but it's hard to tell without replays. As I mentioned before the marking infringement ones are annoying me!

                    Umpires should be invisible not personalities!

                    A few soft/non frees gone the wrong way.

                    We're seeing the future here guys, a fleet of speedy players with footy smarts. Better start adjusting your Best 22, a guy named Ronke look to be on his way big time. Was a very good U18, surprised he slipped as far as us in the RD, Kinnear Beatson, take a bow!

                      They are predicting as easy win to Hawks from here, allowing Sicily the freedom to intercept.
                      Hope they have egg on face.

                        I?m even liking Robinson?s effort.

                          HTF was that kick to OMeara 15m? It wasn't even 10m.

                            Hewitts doing a good job keeping Mitchell quiet. After seeing the pre game interview of Mitchell - his attitude of entitlement confirmed why I never thought much of him.
                            I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

                              Yes I think we could make a legitimate complaint about the review process being inconsistent, I would like the club to look into registering a protest about that.

                              As for the game. I'm liking the look of these young players, whatever happens we are seeing some good signs for the club's future and that's a great thing for us. I expect the umpires to determine this one BTW
