Game Day 2012 Prelim Hawthorn v Adelaide

[BigD231]

who is that bald c@#t? he should be shot

 

[FR0GGY]

We're in this up to our eyeballs pity the umps are too

 

[DJ75]

18 V 21 and we are playing awesome

 

[Sir Vlado]

We've been excellent so far. Converting just about all our opportunities. Hawthorn are wasting so much with one of their goals coming from a soft 50. Umpiring has been poor.

Still expecting Hawthorn to blow the doors apart next quarter.

 

[spexau]

We need to tighten up on the outsode but defending very well. Otten has been great. Just need to keep taking our chances and put them under enough pressure to miss theirs! More intensity!

 

[VSTone]

cmon crows...grind it out

 

[cmndstab]

Beauty - in front at quarter time after losing the toss. Ball is well and truly in our court now. A good second quarter can set us up

That said, Hawthorn have a lot of upside. Can't believe how many marks they've dropped.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Umpires have been disgraceful so far. That 50m penalty and throw call were absolutely disgusting.

 

[Glenno23]

Tippo. another 3 quarters like that please

Really smart coaching by Sando. Having Walker and Tip rotating

Umps, media and Victoria are against us, lets play another 3 quarters like that please!

 

[beartoo]

Great 1st q. I'm guessing we were against whatever breeze there is as we lost the toss.
Come on boys, stay in there.

 

[MarksGirl-kbcrowgirl]

Excellent first quarter. A few dubious ump decisions as per usual. My tummys in knots, my hands are sweating! GO CROWS!!

 

[Harris Pilton]

Free kicks 6 to 3. Maggots won't let us win this.

 

[Vivcrows22]

WE WON THE FIRST QUARTER! Not saying that we can't win the rest, but by god it feels good for them to prove some of the doubters about our goalkicking, including me! Tippo has been massive!

 

[VSTone]

we haven't been blown away early... keep going crows

 

[Glenno23]

Umpires have been disgraceful so far. That 50m penalty and throw call were absolutely disgusting.

And Birchall doing a full 360 not being paid HTB

 

[beartoo]

Umpires have been disgraceful so far. That 50m penalty and throw call were absolutely disgusting.

The 50 was there. The throw was not.

 

[OldCrowBloke]

How the hell are we in front?
Everything going right!

Keep working boys - go Crows!!!

 

[Brenton Davy]

Hawks players are making a lot of panicy mistakes. I get the impression they are feeling the weight of expectation.

Having said that, we have to start (and I know I have rabbitted on about this ad nauseum) shutting down their spread. They look super dangerous when they spread. ON the flip side, we look very good going forward, I only wish we had Tex kicking it to Tex. His field kicking is sublime.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

The 50 was there. The throw was not.

Your an idiot if you think that was worth a 50m penalty.

 

[Shaz2012]

Umpiring is going to kill us.

Other than that we just have to stay with them till 3 quarter time. If we are still there then I think we can do it. Hopefully the hawks keep missing.

 

[Brenton Davy]

Your an idiot if you think that was worth a 50m penalty.

It WAS there.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Hawks playing like a side coming off a bye

We need to get better at the stoppages as they are killing us on the spread

 

[Tex200]

Thommo having a dead set stinker

 

[The House]

Thompson and Dangerfield are hardly touching it, and you're in front at quarter time - good signs.

Shoemakers is getting a bath also.

C'mon Crows!!

The sheer weight of numbers will see hawthorn come good here says the commentators.
