Good luck to anyone who decided to drive to the footy tonight and are now stuck on Punt Rd/Hoddle St car park thanks to this overturned excavator under the Richmond railway bridge...

ps. It doesn't take much in Melbourne to cause instant gridlock does it  .

Hopefully its a cracking game tonight.
Can't wait till Richmond are playing in the big games in September again.

LOL Maxwell. Great miss of the ball for a Hawk goal  .

[mightytiges]

Hawks did well to hang in there in the middle part of the quarter when the Pies were on top and then pinch a goal to grab the lead on the siren.

Talk that Ben Reid may have to be subbed off. That would expose Harry O for height against the resting Hawk ruckman especially Hale.

LOL Maxwell. Great miss of the ball for a Hawk goal  .

What about Dawes missing that one from 30 metres infront early in the quarter.

That one was a beauty too  .

[mightytiges]

Whitecross and Cloke trying to top Dawes for worst kick at goal of the year lol.

Maxwell dived after initiating contact and gets a downfield free

Each team is lucky that the other team isn't converting very well.
I think it'll open up more in the 2nd half. My concern with the hawks is keeping up the pressure on collingwood . It won't take much for them to have a quick 5 goal burst and bust the game wide open.

[mightytiges]

Yep tiger101 that's the worry for the Hawks. Those burst of goals against them has happened in both finals they've played so far. I guess the Hawks will be hoping the game opening up will allow them more room to use their elite footskills to slice through and get it forward to Buddy in space or over the back. They have the lead in a low scoring game. If they can keep it into the last quarter then the scoreboard pressure will build up on the Pies.

LOL Harry O. The weak link in the Pies defence .

  everybody pray the hawks can pull this off

Yep and They've moved Davis up forward from looks of it to get a small forward involved.
I agree with the commentator's about bringing Didak into the game should of been done for Beam's maybe Brown half way through that quarter.

[mightytiges]

Hawks were able to hold off the Pies again when they lifted and then kick that final goal of the quarter. The first 10 mins of the final qtr is all important. If the Hawks can hold off the Pies final charge and kick again then they'll probably be home.

Awesome intensity btw. Waiting for the day the Tiges can play under that pressure and stand up with their skills and physicality.

[tiger101]

Hawks are doing what they did against us just dive for the ball and collingwood can't get underneath to grab the ball.
Cloke misses one that would of really been handy. Early goal in this quarter is what Collingwood need.

[mightytiges]

If a Richmond player did what Tarrant did (25m grubber straight for the boundary) it would be paid deliberate  .

Great mark and goal to Hodge. Hawks needed that one.
