    Oh Longmile - its only 4 goals. maybe we might get revved up at halftime. Nothing worse than that scummy fan base in my experience.... I still rage with anger thinking about the 2014 grand final and what they showed that day.

      Fox and Dawson are having howlers. Heeney playing behind every time and then goes back and plays in front and dropped 2 easy marks. Wicks has been very poor. I struggled to understand what he is out there for. They are running wide and we are ball watching. Papley to the middle.

        Umpires need some medication and so do we!

          Been a real trend the last 3 weeks ... All against Melbourne teams ... Go figure

            I said many times that Amartey had a booming kick. That goal was a chip shot from outside 50.
            Playing like a young tired side up against an energetic, refreshed and desperate team.

              They are just running. We are not. The amount of easy possessions they've had is astounding. All about work rate, combined with some generosity from their extra players on the field.

                Great assessment!!

                  This is soooo frustrating to watch

                  I predict we pick up in the next quarter and win a close one

                  A kick on the siren to win the game from a dodgy free kick would be sweet

                    14 to 4 on the AFL sites. The fix is on!

                      Appears O.Meara was reported for the hit on Hayward. Why no free kick?

                          We look very tired and flat. Umps not helping. Two 6 day breaks versus refreshed team doesn't help.

                            What frustrates me in these commentary scenarios is they love to pluck out stats at half time or whenever to make points about the thrust of a game and playing styles. Would you think a 4 - 14 free kick count and interpretations might have some effect and worth a mention?

                              The umps are deplorable but not why we are in strife.
                              Hawthorn have positioned themselves and are constructive with the ball - we are all over the shop kicking it anywhere.
                              And in defence Hawthorn are much tighter than we are.
                              The most we can say is that we'll learn from it. I hope!
