Hawks breaking down at HF. Three tired kicks falling short.

Now the umps are wearing B&W  .

To be fair collingwood have been the best team of the year so its always good to have the best teams in the grand final.
Fingers crossed Cats win tomorrow night.


Wish Jackson would play more like Lewis does for hawks. Does the hard things but doesn't go over the line into stupid things.

[Owl]

stuffing umpires got em over the line, what a crock of horse crap!  how many free kicks did they get, they even got one out front of Hawks goals that should of been for too high on the hawks player and he pays it to Collingwood for a tackle LOL stuffing corrupt as hell I tell you.

Bateman's kicks have been falling short all game. If I was a hawks fan I'd be demanding his retirement.
Shocking game. His season hasn't even been that good either.

That free that should have been paid to hawks in f50 probably would sealed the game
In the end their spirit was high but fitness let them down
If I was a hawks supporter id be mighty proud of the effort they put in tonight 

[Francois Jackson]

i hate both teams equally.

In fact i think i hate Hawthorn more after living through my childhood watching the pig score countless big goals against our backs.

stuff Hawthorn now come onnnnnnn  catssss

We are geelong, the greatest team of all,
We are geelong, We're always on the ball,
We play the game, as it should be played
at home or far away
our banners fly high, from dawn to dark
down at kardinia park!

Hawk fans will whinge about Hodge not getting a free for too high, the 50m penalty and Puopolo getting pinged for holding the ball. However Hawthorn had their chances. Puopolo stuffed a few chances when clean hands and decision making could have resulted in goals. The Hawks tired in the last 15 mins. Their longer kicks were dropping short by 10m where earlier in the game the ball would clear the Pie defender and land over the back. Then add a couple of schoolboy mistakes which gave the Pies goals. Guerra touched a ball that was going out on the full and from the throw in Swan got a goal. Then Shoenmakers won't forget dropping that sitter 20m out which set up Ball's winning goal. A game of centimetres as they say.

[Hellenic Tiger]

I would be proud too if I was a Hawk fan but maybe in a few weeks time. Right now I would be fuming.
Skunks we're outplayed all night and the umps helped them in the last quarter get over the line with some awful decisions. To be honest Hawks did kick about 1.6 from set shots in the first three quarters and should have been further in front at three quarter time. Pies ultimately or unfortunantely whichever way you look at it took their chances and the Hawks didn't when they had the momentum.

I just hope the Cats win tomorrow and pluck those cocky feathers next week.

[RollsRoyce]

I can't freakin' BELIEVE those scumbags won! Hawthorn were the best team all night, led the entire game and deserved to win. And you're spot on Owl. The bloody umpires, as instructed by the corrupt AFL, made sure they got over the line. That was a dead-set high tackle on the Hawk player in the forward pocket, and they just looked the other way. Then to rub salt into the wound, as the scum were clearing along the boundary they paid some tiggy touchwood 50m penalty.
 I hope the Cats get up tomorrow, injury free, and grind that black and white filth into the dirt next week.

Bateman is a effing dud

Schoolboy errors that cost them another two goals.
I'm with you Daniel I hate both teams but would prefer Hawthorn over The Skunks any day of the week.

[Jackstar is back again]

Bateman cost them BIG TIME.
Kicks likes a Richmond player

I was wondering who that bozo was

was either dumb or lack of awareness, but a crucial mistake.

Yep we'll never hear the end of that Hodge non-free from Hawk fans .

The Pies have superior fitness over most sides but the week off is a massive bonus in modern footy where recovery at this time year is vital. If the Pies had had to back up after the qualifying final then they would've lost tonight.

Anyway another brilliant final. The top 5 sides this year have shown why they are daylight ahead of the rest. Scary really how far behind we are from where we need to get to . I hope Craig Cameron was watching when the Club talks about playing finals next year.

[RollsRoyce]

No doubt the week off is a massive bonus MT. That's why I was hoping when Jolly and Daisy limped off sore in the last quarter they wouldn't come back, and it would cancel out the advantage. But then I guess I forgot to factor in their three extra men ???
Oh well, I hope those two either don't come up for next week, or play under duress.
