The good news is we are still chance for finals

We only need to win by 24+ goals and have the Bombers, Eagles and Freo lose

Easy

Lynch gets our first 

[mightytiges]

Well done by Miller there. Got the spoil then nice kick to George to set up the play that got it to Baker who kicked long to Lynch 30 out. Goal!

True

Didn't anyone else hear Jonathan Brown's comment about the crowd pre-game?

Something along the lines of "disappointing there is such a small crowd"

WTF?

[Willy]

We could finish 9th if we win and 12th if we lose.

Go Hawks!!

[mightytiges]

And that's why George you were in the ressies.

Hawks run it up the other end for a goal.

7 all.

Umpires off to another stellar start

[mightytiges]

LOL. Commentators complain about hands in the back against Pickett yet said nothing last week when Hogan did the same thing to Floss.

Poor kick by Pickett and it's no score.
