Read what I said
They could be offered a week but reduced to carry over points
I am saying they may not want the risk of carry over points into finals so they might roll the dice knowing he will get a week, thus missing our game

I bought seats on Tuesday. I needed 7 sets all up and all I could get was ground level in the Posford stand. Only seats available on level 1 were single seats.
All other searches for all other areas said "allocation exhausted"

Preview: Hawks v Tigers
By Mark Macgugan
afl.com.au
Tuesday, July 30, 2013
SUMMARY
Expect a huge crowd for this Saturday afternoon showdown, the Hawks' first home game at the MCG since round nine and defender Brent Guerra's 250th AFL appearance. Alastair Clarkson's top-of-the-table team flexed its muscle with a superb performance against Essendon last Friday night, while the Tigers fell short against the Sydney Swans. Desperate for a big scalp, Damien Hardwick's men will be out to repeat their upset thrashing of the Hawks in round nine last season. Having two days fewer to prepare – six days compared to Hawthorn's eight – won't help their cause.
WHERE AND WHEN: MCG, Saturday August 3, 2.10pm
TV AND RADIO: Click here for broadcast guide and odds (http://www.afl.com.au/tv-radio/broadcast-guide)
LAST FIVE TIMES
R9, 2012, Richmond 21.11 (137) d Hawthorn 10.15 (75) at the MCG
R3, 2011, Hawthorn 17.13 (115) d Richmond 6.16 (52) at the MCG
R8, 2010, Hawthorn 13.11 (89) d Richmond 13.8 (86) at the MCG
R21, 2009, Hawthorn 20.15 (135) d Richmond 14.9 (93) at the MCG
R20, 2008, Richmond 16.9 (105) d Hawthorn 10.16 (76) at the MCG
THE SIX POINTS
1. Richmond turned in one of the best performances of its recent history the last time these teams met, thrashing the Hawks by 62 points in a mighty upset. Spearhead Jack Riewoldt kicked six for the Tigers, while midfield gun Trent Cotchin was everywhere with 31 disposals, earning three Brownlow Medal votes for his efforts.
2. The last seven games between these two teams have all been played at the MCG, with the Hawks winning five. Both of Hawthorn's losses this season have been at the MCG (both to Geelong), while the Tigers are 6-3 at the venue in 2013.
3. After Lance Franklin's eight goals against Essendon last week and Jarryd Roughead's four, the pair have now booted a combined 100 goals for the season. They are the top two ranked forwards in the Official AFL Player Ratings, with Franklin at No.1 and Roughead at No.2. But it is Roughead, on 54 goals, who leads the Coleman Medal race. Richmond's Riewoldt is third on the goalkicking table with 50 goals to his name.
4. Hawthorn averages 57.1 inside 50s (ranked No.2) and 15.1 marks inside 50 (ranked No.1) per game this year. It is no surprise then, that they are the highest scoring team in the competition. Richmond is slightly behind, averaging 52.2 inside 50s (ninth) and 12.4 marks inside 50 (eighth).
5. Sam Mitchell averages just 23 disposals when he plays the Tigers, his second lowest average against any team. The ball magnet's ability to find space and damage the opposition by foot is crucial for the Hawks. He did just that against Essendon last week, gathering 22 uncontested possessions and only six contested.
6. Having been a little bit patchy at times this season, Richmond captain Cotchin has found form in the past month. He has averaged 29.5 disposals over his last four games, up from 21.5 in the four games before that.

Have watched a few of their games this year. Hawthorn use the ball very well. Their midfield is incredible as is their forward line. Their backline is stronger with lake but is still not as strong as other sides. Need to watch in particular Hodge, Mitchell and Rioli. The Hawks don't seem to tag opponents and don't have a renowned tagger. Need to win the clearances and starve their forward line if to have any chance of success.

On Richmond website says" Young Richmond midfielder Matt Arnot will miss the remainder of the 2013 season with a back injury.
The 19-year-old had worked hard to establish himself in the senior team, playing four of the last five games in the seniors, before bad luck intervened.
“Unfortunately scans have shown he has a stress fracture in his back, which was a bit of a surprise to us,” said Richmond’s Elite Performance Manager, Peter Burge.
Sign up as a member for 2014 and get the remainder of 2013 for free.
“It’s really disappointing for Matt, and for Richmond. But we’ll get him back for the pre-season, and get him going from there.”
Richmond finished Sunday’s game against Sydney with minimal rotations, after Ricky Petterd and Ty Vickery suffered game-ending injuries.
Petterd is expected to miss at least one match with a groin strain, while Vickery will need to pass a concussion test later this week to prove his fitness for this Saturday’s game against Hawthorn.
Jake King, who missed last week’s match with hamstring soreness, will also undergo a fitness test during the week.
Matt Dea (shoulder), Ben Griffiths (concussion) and Brett O’Hanlon (concussion) all failed to see out Coburg’s VFL match against the Northern Blues on Sunday.
The trio will be assessed throughout the week before a decision is made on their fitness"

Hodge, Hawks eye redemption after Tiger mauling
By Mark Macgugan
afl.com.au
7:35pm AEST Wednesday, July 31, 2013
IT WAS the game that taught Hawthorn a football lesson, and set the scene for the run of dominance that has followed.
The Hawks' form had been lukewarm early in the 2012 season, but they entered their round nine meeting with Richmond as handy favourites.
However, if Alastair Clarkson's men expected a comfortable win, they got a terrible shock.
The Tigers, with midfield running riot – Shane Tuck, Brett Deledio, Dustin Martin and Trent Cotchin all had 30-plus disposals – ran away with the contest by 62 points.
Jack Riewoldt booted six goals, while at the other end Lance Franklin and Jarryd Roughead managed a combined three.
Shaun Burgoyne was the only Hawk to pass 25 disposals as Richmond was harder on the inside, quicker on the spread, and handled the slippery conditions much better.
The dirty day left Hawthorn with a win-loss record of 5-4 and on fringe of the eight.
Skipper Luke Hodge, who missed the game with a knee injury and watched on from the stands, remembers it as a turning point.
"To play finals football, or be on top of the ladder, you pretty much had to do what they did to us," Hodge told AFL.com.au this week.
"They dominated us in all areas.
"So I think they set the standard for what we had to do consistently, and we were able to take a lot out of that game."
The Hawks put the lessons to immediate use, going on a rampage from the very next week.
They peeled off eight straight wins, by an average margin of 81 points, and won 14 of 16 games for the remainder of the season.
Add in 15 wins from 17 matches this year, and Hawthorn's win-loss record since the Richmond debacle is 29-4 – the only losses coming to nemesis Geelong (three times) and the Sydney Swans in the Grand Final.
Having beaten the Swans comfortably in round seven, the Hawks have won their most recent clash with every club except for the Cats and Richmond.
Saturday is their first chance to get the wood back on the Tigers.
"It was a wet, scrubby day, and I think they out-worked us, got the ball on the outside, and ran hard forward," Hodge said.
"We just couldn't stop them; they won the contested possessions and the uncontested possessions.
"So we're going to have to be on our game to beat them this Saturday, because they've shown throughout this year that they're a good side."
The clash, expected to be played before an enormous MCG crowd, will also feature the added spice of a strong connection between the two coaches.
Damien Hardwick and his assistant Ross Smith are both former assistants of Clarkson at Hawthorn, and Hardwick and Clarkson remain close friends.
Given the time that has passed since the two former Hawks employees departed the club, however, Hodge was not worried about any possible inside knowledge being exploited.
"We've changed a lot since 'Dimma' was at the footy club, and even since Ross Smith was here," the 29-year-old said.
"No doubt they'll know how a lot of the guys like to play, considering they've coached them, but as far as structurally, football changes so often that it's very hard to stay on top of it when you've been away from the system for two or three years."
The Hawks' 56-point thrashing of Essendon last week was widely viewed as one of the team's best of the season – perhaps sitting alongside the earlier defeat of the Swans.
Nothing less than a repeat dose would do this week, Hodge said.
"Throughout the last month or so, we haven't played great football," he said.
"We've been able to win games, but it hasn't been convincing.
"We've played some good footy at times, but also some patchy footy.
"But [last week], if you took out the first 15 or so minutes where Essendon sort of jumped us, I thought it was a fairly consistent performance.
"We know that to beat Richmond we're going to have to come out and do exactly the same thing this Saturday."

Yep one of those players who just seem to cruise against us and stick it to us wherever they go whether at Port, St.Kilda or here. Clearly a case of Brett O'Farrell syndrome kill RFC wherever they go.

View from the opposition's perspective .....
Match Preview: Hawthorn v Richmond
By Kate Salemme
hawthornfc.com.au 10:38am
Thursday, August 1, 2013
The form line – Hawthorn
The Hawks flexed their muscles against the Bombers in last Friday night’s top-of-the-table clash in one of the side’s best performances of 2013.
Alastair Clarkson’s team convincingly best Essendon in all areas, with their pressure, ability to force turnovers and ball use far superior to that of the Bombers.
Hawthorn has high expectations though, and despite defeating the side second on the ladder at the time by 56 points, they weren’t satisfied.
Cyril Rioli and Brian Lake both believe that performance wasn’t the team’s best of the year, and Clarkson revealed post-match that the Hawks are yet to reach their peak.
It’s a scary thought for the rest of the competition given Hawthorn are 14-2 and the envy of the competition with its dynamic forward line led by Coleman Medal leader Jarryd Roughead and Lance Franklin fresh off an eight-goal performance.
The Hawks midfield is hitting its straps now too, with Sam Mitchell in good form playing across half back and in the midfield, Jordan Lewis hitting his straps and veteran, Brad Sewell finding form after being dropped in Round 16.
Isaac Smith is also in good form as one of his team’s best running weapon and Josh Gibson and Brian Lake continue to gel and form a formidable duo down back along with Ben Stratton.
The form line – Richmond
The Tigers have improved again this season and have shown a resilience that has been absent from the Richmond sides of recent years.
When challenged, the Tigers now have the leadership through Trent Cotchin, Brett Deledio and Chris Newman to name a few to provide the leadership the side needs to hit back when its opposition is pressing.
That ability was evident against the Dockers two weeks ago, when Fremantle challenged the Tigers in the last quarter of the Round 17 clash at the MCG.
The Dockers got within eight points in the final term, but Richmond steadied to eventually run out 27 point winners and entrench itself in the top eight.
Against the Swans last weekend, however, the Tigers were exposed by Sydney’s relentless pressure and elite ball use through the midfield.
Coach Damian Hardwick said his team simply weren’t hard enough against the Swans and will be looking to show more aggression against the Hawks on Saturday, keen to underline its finals credentials by claiming a big scalp.
In season 2013, the Tigers have beaten only two teams currently in the top eight – Fremantle and Port Adelaide.
The worry for the Tigers
It’s the worry for most sides, but for Richmond, the Hawthorn forward line is a scary proposition.
While Troy Chaplin is capable of playing on a player like Jarryd Roughead or Lance Franklin and performing admirably, the options dry up pretty quickly after that for the Tigers.
Alex Rance is a solid defender, he performs his role to the best of his ability each week, but the face remains, he is an undersized defender playing above his weight division.
Never has that been more evident than when Rance was given the job on Collingwood’s Travis Cloke in Round 4.
The Pies forward monstered Rance to be the match-winner, booting a game-high seven goals in Collingwood’s win.
Unfortunately for Richmond, they have two Travis Cloke’s to contend with on Saturday, with Roughead and Franklin both heavyweight forwards in red-hot form.
The pair have kicked 54 and 46 goals respectively, not to mention the cameo played by Jack Gunston (29 goals) as the third tall forward and ruckman David Hale (13 goals) who also spends time forward for the Hawks.
The Tigers struggled to contain Sydney’s Jesse White (four goals) and Kurt Tippett (three) last week, and the task is probably greater this weekend against the Hawks.
Contested footy
Damian Hardwick said last week the Tigers weren’t hard enough, beaten in the contested footy by the reigning premiers and they’ll need to be better in that area against the Hawks on Saturday.
The Tigers are actually ranked 15th in the competition for contested footy, ahead of only lowly teams St Kilda, Greater Western Sydney and Melbourne.
Richmond average 136.2 contested possessions per game this season and were down on that average against the Swans last Sydney with 130 (Sydney had 144).
It is a worry statistic for the Tigers who will again be up against one of the best contested footy sides in the competition on Saturday.
The Hawks are ranked fourth in the league with an average of 147.2 contested possessions per game and it’s little wonder it’s an area of strength for the Hawks when Sam Mitchell, Brad Sewell, Jordan Lewis and Luke Hodge all roll through the midfield.
Captain Trent Cotchin is the number one contested footy player at the Tigers with an average of 12.1 per game and interestingly, slightly built half forward, Shane Edwards is ranked second with 9.9.
When analysing the contested footy numbers of Richmond, they're actually quite alarming.
Cotchin is the only player at Richmond to this season average more than 10 contested possessions per game.
Dustin Martin, considered a player who loves it tough, averages 7.6 and even Shane Tuck averages only 9.5 this season.
If Hawthorn beat-up the Tigers in the contested ball, expect to see a big Hawthorn win at the MCG on Saturday.
Why pressure is important for Richmond
Hawthorn plays a style of footy that is conducive to finals, they play hard and tough, they love the contest and gritty battles in the midfield – then they use that to get their uncontested game going, to work the footy into space.
Saturday’s game will be a big test for Richmond given their style is freer flowing.
Richmond is, interestingly, ranked 18th in the competition for tackles, averaging only 56 per game. They will need to be better than that against the Hawks, given they lost the tackle count to the Swans last week despite losing by 47 points.
Essendon gave Hawthorn too much space last Friday night, and the ball use of the Hawks cut the Bombers to pieces.
Hawthorn run at an average disposal efficiency of 73.1 per cent across its 17 games this season, so when they’re allowed time and space, there’s no turning it over.
That fact has never been more evident than against the Bombers last week, as the Hawks midfielders delivered the footy to Lance Franklin and Jarryd Roughead on a silver platter.
If Richmond doesn’t close down Hawthorn’s space on Saturday through manic pressure, then the Hawks will slice through their defence and kick another big score.
Why pressure is important for Hawthorn
Richmond are a young side, their players haven’t yet had the experience of playing in finals where every possession is under pressure and that’s where the key lies for Hawthorn.
Richmond have elite ball users and use the footy very well, in fact, are ranked third in the league for disposal efficiency, but when the pressure is on, their decision making and skill execution is the first to suffer.
North Melbourne identified that as a weakness in Round 15, when the two sides met at Etihad Stadium.
While the tackle count said the Kangaroos laid only 62 tackles, that wasn’t anywhere near a true reflection of how the Roos pressured the Tigers into submission.
North Melbourne always had two or three extra players at the contest because their work rate was far superior to that of Richmond and as a consequence, whenever the Tigers gained possession, they were beset upon and turned the ball over.
Richmond kicking efficiency ran at a very low 61.5 during that game, had 42 clangers and just 50 effective kicks for the game.
Although Richmond had more inside 50s, Jack Riewoldt was ineffective as a forward because of the poor ball use going forward thanks to the pressure and ability of the Roos to get numbers back.
Richmond took only nine marks inside 50 for the game and kicked 8.18 not because of poor execution, but because each of their shots was under immense pressure and from tight angles.
Key players
Hawthorn –
Sam Mitchell: Fans and media commentators were left last Friday night only to marvel in the genius that is Sam Mitchell. He sliced through the Essendon midfield with ease and set up players into space on numerous occasions as well as delivering lace out to his forwards. His “ quickstep” move to evade an opponent is exemplary, and Richmond players will need to be aware of how he does it. If he gets off the leash, Hawthorn will win. It’s as simple as that.
Richmond –
Brett Deledio: Too often, it seems that gun Richmond midfielder Brett Deledio is tagged out of matches. Again against the Swans last week, Deledio was sat on by a tagger and had no influence over the game. His importance to Richmond is almost unparalleled given his line-breaking ability makes him an 80+ metre player. Against a team like Hawthorn who can strangle you, players like Deledio are a dime a dozen. He’ll need to find a way to break the tag if a Hawks player goes to him.

Is today the day?!?! I can feel the kinetic nrg between the little white polystyrene balls crackling away beneath me!!!!
Best. Avatar.
Unfortunately, need to sit on those nurries for at least another week.
-
Due to unforeseen circumstances my hatred of Hawthorn has elevated to Carlscum status.
For this reason today is a non negotiable.
The boys have to win today, no ifs, no buts, no maybes.
I won't except "should've, could've and wouldve".
It's a MUST WIN game. Not for any other reason but selfishness on my part.
C'mon Tigers! Win for your ol' mate Tigra today. You'll make me a very very happy man.
:gotigers
Eat 'em Alive!
This was last year and I still feel the same today.
Cmon boys.
Today there's no excuses.
There's no holding back. Don't think just DO! Put your bodies in the line not just for yourselves or for the jumper or for pride but for Mr. Tigra....
He deserves your best today & will not except anything less. Moment by moment, quarter by quarter, contest by contest. Play 'em as if it's your last!
Never give the game up or give in in any way. Lead by example! In every game there's a crossroad & when you get to that crossroad you either step up or step down.
Today's the day to earn back the respect of the footy world. Today you have arrived. Today everyone will know the TIGER is wide awake and is very very hungry. There's nothing more tigerish than a tiger!

Anyone think Shane Tuck as sub is stupid :banghead
-
I'm optimistic ( for a ultra competitive performance )
Richmond should be excited about today's match.
C'mon boys fire up.
-
Coming on as sub as a marking half forward inside 50 could be crucial late in the game.
We need to forget what hapenned last year. It's this year now and it's today's game we need to win.
I think we may trouble them. For how long is up to the boys. :thumbsup
-
Anyone think Shane Tuck as sub is stupid :banghead
Doesn't make sense to me either. I prefer a sub with pace (eg: Whitey) who can come on fresh in the second half and cause some damage when everyone else is tired. To me Tuck is sub because Dimma either doesn't think he can play 4 quarters or he thinks Tucky's lack of pace make him vulnerable when everyone is fresh at the start of the game.
I'm very nervous about today. It could get very ugly if we don't match them in the midfield. The Hawks are at full strength and in top form while we aren't. Also do we have the match-ups to hold all 4 Hawk tall forwards Buddy, Roughead, Hale and Gunston? :-\.
-
It's not our home game Tim Lane.
-
First bounce, out of centre Jacko to McGuane marks. Hits Jack on the lead. Goal :gotigers
Rich 6
Haw 0
Blow the siren! ;D
-
Jack dropped a sitter :P
Hawks go coast to coast but luckily Rioli stuffed it up and missed.
Edit: We turn it over from the kick-in and Buddy goals.
6 - 7
-
No defensive pressure early. The Hawks are moving the ball forward too easily.
6 - 13
-
Can't handle the pressure at the moment.
-
Rushed point to us.
We get it back through Rance off to Houli to Foley on 50 to the pocket finds Jack. Goal :gotigers
13 - 14
-
We need to get back in defence quicker.
-
Ball-up our forward 50. Free to Ivan. Goal :gotigers
Rich 19

Jack's got it again. Hands to Dusty bombs long and McGuane marks on an acute angle but 2m out. Goal :gotigers

Very proud of us at the moment.

Contested possies: 31 - 15 our way.
-
Conca off HB to Jack at HF who puts it out in front of Newy and he runs into an open goal :gotigers
Rich 38
Haw 16
-
Well this is a surprise. Absolutely killing them in the clearances. We have to keep this attacking style going....I hope Dimma holds his nerve.
-
Foley out of centre but he stuffs up his second bounce of the ball and the Hawks make us pay for the turnover :scream.
38 - 22
-
Point to us. We get it back and Newy marks on 50. Kick after the siren. Point.
1/4 time
Richmond 6.4-40
Hawthorn 3.4-22
Goals: Riewoldt 2, McGuane 2, Newman, Maric
-
Ok so far.
Killing them in the clearances. :thumbsup
-
The test is to back up that quarter with the same if not more in the next, Hawks will lift, we have to match them.
-
Shakey first 7 mins but after that dominated the midfield. We need to keep up this intensity and not go to sleep or go into our shells. The Hawks will at least try to lift and come at us.
Clearances 16 - 2 that qtr. 10 scores from 13 forward entries and 5 goals to 1 from stoppages.
-
How dodgy is this fox commentary : >:(
- dunstall : barracking not commentating
- brereton: barracking and talking about the game in a purely Hawthorn context
- Dwayne Russell : dumb as dog poot and impressional to the above 2
- King: ex employee and hates Richmond
Never heard a more depressed commentary team in my life.
-
Goal to Hawthorn inside first min :scream.
40 - 28

Conca gets his boot to the ball yet it's holding the ball :huh.

-
Mitchell turnover. Grigg gets it to Lids to Jack. Misses.
41 - 28
-
Hawks defence just looks terrible atm
-
Brereton when that free was paid to cotch : "ohhh what"?
how professional
-
Our kicks inside 50 this qtr have been ordinary.
-
How is that not holding the ball? :banghead
-
Floss goes long and it scoots through for a point.
42 - 28
-
Dumb turnover in defence :banghead. Morris handball puts Cotch under pressure and it gifts the Hawks a goal.
Rich 42
Haw 34
-
Missing basic targets now :banghead.
-
Dusty 7 kicks at 29% eff.
:P
-
Effing umps turning against us now as the momentum changes :banghead
-
Rance playing well
-
Our disposal is disgraceful, Foley has cost us 2 goals when we should have been deep in our own forward line. Jack being held by his opponent every time the ball goes near him.
-
Hawks on top now. Winning the clearances.
Lucky Roughead hit the post.
42 - 35
-
Foley has made some real blues today. :help
-
Our disposal is disgraceful, Foley has cost us 2 goals when we should have been deep in our own forward line. Jack being held by his opponent every time the ball goes near him.
We've been our own worst enemy. Dusty's kicking has been off as well.
42 - 36 now.
-
Tired of the no look loopy handballs that ruin our run.
-
Jacko kicks to Cotch's feet and then Cotch under pressure kicks to McGuane's feet and it ricochet's out of bounds. That sums us up this qtr.
Another poor kick from Dusty.
-
Lucky they are missing.
42 - 37
-
Mitchell incorrect disposal and gets rewarded with a free because we finish the tackle..?????
-
Any danger of Edwards getting into the game?
-
Malaka Dustin Martin. :help
-
Dusty run down and the turnover gives the Hawks the lead just before half-time :banghead
42 - 43
-
Umps have cost us 2 goals....
Our kicking has cost us another 4
-
Any danger of Edwards getting into the game?
It's become an inside trench warfare game and our runners have gone out of the game.
This is pathetic. 10 secs to go and the Hawks get the centre clearance and easy shot at goal :banghead
-
Half-time
Richmond 6.4 6.6-42
Hawthorn 3.4 6.8-44
Goals: Riewoldt 2, McGuane 2, Newman, Maric
Pathetic skill-less goal-less qtr :banghead.
-
Momentum killing this.
Lucky Buddy missed.
Dusty play simple not this malakia give me my money skata. :help
-
Hardwick needs to tell Foley to just kick the f##$@#g thing as he gets it, every possession has led to a turnover FFS :banghead
-
Umps have cost us 2 goals....
Our kicking has cost us another 4
Not to mention the lucky 3 goals on the trot that brought the hawks back to within a goal. We've got no-one but ourselves to blame for that qtr, we had our chances and looked more dangerous until the last 5 mins but we didn't take our chances and those arsey pricks kicked a couple of flukey goals to start the qtr. We can beat them but need to smarten up a bit
-
it's a different day, same movie, so far as our turnover merchants are concerned.
-
If Deledio gives nothing in this half then surely he has to go to the Magoo's... 7 disposals in a half and he had 5 of those in the first 3 minutes.
No composure or awareness in traffic. FFS how many times do we get run down when we have broken away.

yep, that and missing simple handballs has been really frustrating and let the hawks off. We are playing a better brand of footy than them, they're worried and have turned it into a slugfest which is fine bc when tucky comes on we'll boss them that way too. Just got to stop being so cute!
-
Foley has made some real blues today. :help
been terrible today along with the umps who put Hawthorn back in this game. Rance Conca and alot of the rest playing real well.
-
I normally don't complain about the umpires but stuff me, we should of had a goal with that Rioli tackle and some of the others....stuff me.. :banghead
-
1st 2nd
Clearances: 16 - 2 9 - 13
Ctr Clear. 8 - 1 0 - 4
That's the game there along with our pathetic disposal. Whoever gets on top in the midfield wins and they owned us that qtr.
-
foley shocking today. should go back to Coburg.
-
I normally don't complain about the umpires but stuff me, we should of had a goal with that Rioli tackle and some of the others....stuff me.. :banghead
Umps haven't helped but we are our own worst enemy when we let the Hawks get easy goals because we turn the ball over to them with sub-Auskick skills :banghead.

Good to see you again Dr
-
Martin playing like he thinks hes some kind of god. Lance Franklin is already playing for GWS. ;D
-
Its Sydneys Flag IMHO. Hawthorn aint that good.
-

This game rests on who controls the midfield battle. We've owned it in the 1st and 3rd qtrs and Hawthorn owned it in the 2nd. Hawks are going to have to go for it. So we need to be able to match and better what they throw at us. The important thing is for us to keep playing positive footy (don't try to save it) and keep the pressure up.

Apologies to the 'turnover merchants ' I bagged earlier. When the game got scrappy the scrappers got going :thumbsup. I seriously can't remember a better win in decades. Kudos to all but especially to the best back-line in the comp :cheers

Biggest win of the year for us. :gotigers
Still four weeks to go in Home and Away.
One week at a time boys. :thumbsup

Cotch was great all day but in that 'clutch' period where the game could have swung either way Ellis and Vlaustin were magnificent.....our captain and vice-captain in the years to come. Hopefully we have also found our 'swingman' in Astbury ;)

Rioli I think.

I think that this game shows we have improved a lot from last year. Loosing our lead in the 2nd quarter to go down at half time and then still coming back is something we wouldnt have done previously.
GO YOU BLOODY TIGES

Anyone think Shane Tuck as sub is stupid :banghead
Doesn't make sense to me either. I prefer a sub with pace (eg: Whitey) who can come on fresh in the second half and cause some damage when everyone else is tired. To me Tuck is sub because Dimma either doesn't think he can play 4 quarters or he thinks Tucky's lack of pace make him vulnerable when everyone is fresh at the start of the game.
I'm very nervous about today. It could get very ugly if we don't match them in the midfield. The Hawks are at full strength and in top form while we aren't. Also do we have the match-ups to hold all 4 Hawk tall forwards Buddy, Roughead, Hale and Gunston? :-\.
hardwick said on the ABC before the game that once the rain set in tuck would be subbed on.
as it turned out it was a smart ploy.
we all like to think we know better, but the truth is over the journey.......

Would like to see Tuck get more game time.
The young kids really impressed today - Vlastuin very hard at the ball, Ellis smooth and Conca great link-work.
Backline very solid. Add Grimes and we're set IMO.

Sooooo happy :clapping

Well after finishing work after a 14 hour shift! Time to reflect.....
GO YOU TIGERS!!!!

Enjoy it lads I know I am and am watching the replay given I was ill and didn't attend today.
What I want which will be another thing we have not done for over a generation is put the foot down onto the throat of the opposition the following week after a win where we may have been up for and mentally switched on.
The Lions would think they are still an outside chance of finals and they would give themselves a chance. I would love our boys to not just think we have the big scalp and we are making finals but to as Dimma said in his presser
"we have no ceiling on this" and go out next week and play a similar type of uncompromising, fierce, high scoring yet defensive mindset footy and limit and stifle the opposition and not just fall over the line. We have a very good recent record against the Lions lets hope we can continue that.
We have learnt alot and shown so much positivity this year. Lets take the next step and follow up our great win today with a great win next week and consolidate all we have achieved in the last 3 weeks and approach our last block of four home and away games with the same attitude and fervour we have shown for long periods this season and cement our place in the eight and possibly even pinch a top 4 spot. :gotigers

Just watched a torrent of the game and looked closely at the turning point in the 3rd quarter where we began to wrest control. Vlaustin and White, defended, spread and attacked in a 10 minute block that changed the game. Well done to both of them.

yep and lids starting having an impact too switching fwd

Started having and impact way after we took control. Should be one of the ones turning it around for us, not downhill skiing

Ok,
We have beaten the GF Finalists 2 years in a row, shows we are on track and that our best footy is good enough.
We need to take this on board in the pre season and show we mean business. That is what I want to see in 2014, none of this mucking around at training as pictured most if the time. Watching clips of the Hawks, Geelong s and Freo training showed how professional they were as units.
Do you agree????
-
golf we have beaten swans when we werent travelling well and always do well against the hawks.
means SFA. We need to rid ourselves of spuds like grigg and Edwards
They have Birchall we have Grigg
They have Cyril we have Edwards
They have Gunston we have Mcguane
-
They have Birchall we have Grigg
They have Gunston we have Mcguane
Must say I didn't think Birchell was that impressive today, he butchered a number of kicks and his kicking is his strength. Would have given him 5/10
But certainly agree about Gunston. Gunston showed today that losing Buddy won't hurt the Hawks that much

we must have been watching a different game then WP. Birchall had a terrible clanger from what i remember but was one of the best, im sure of that.
Breaks the lines nicely and is a 2 time premiership player.
Can anyone in their right mind see Grigg being a premiership player?
As i have said you need to be bold at the trade table to win flags.
Gunston, Lake, Burgoyne. Thats what i call being brave. Gunston was a top 20 pick they gave up and he hardly played a game for the crows.
We need to throw grigg, edwards, white, jackson off in this draft and see who bites.
we need a quality tall and small mid. Mcguane edwards x 2, king, white are not going to win you flags

Happened to Morton

Gunston played a fair few games for the crows in his final season
I would take anyone over Grigg I haven't hidden my dislike for him as player. He would never get a game at either Hawthorn or Freo for that matter
Just giving my view on Birchalls game, just didn't think he was that good. Understand the stats tell another story.
Personally I thought Cyril Rioli's game was brilliant, his defensive pressure was amazing. The little 1%ers are what I love! have never hidden that fact

Morton played his role and played it well. Grigg is our main wingman who is anything but silky smooth.
Be a bawse RFC and trade him.

McBean says be patient :shh

When I suggested that we get Gunston on another forum, I was told the then Adelaide footballer was a dud!
Sometimes patience is required. You see certain traits that can make someone a good footballer. In the right environment they blossom.

are you serious they said his a dud :lol said to my hawks mate that Gunston would play a huge role yesterday because his under the radar & always does damage. l reckon he was BOG but that's just my opinion. Have to admit l did not really take much notice of Lake as l was watching Crowley & Mitch more.
