There for the money and fame, not for the performance
It was an insipid performance, and if not for the umpires, would have been over 20goals

Yep, I was hoping for an easy day after last week, and my SANFL team won the flag by 4 points, but never in my wildest dreams did I expect to have the game almost sewn up by half time. At times it did look easy, but I think it was a combination of Hawthorn having a very good day, and the Swans having a stinker.

Karma Police - arrest this man he talks in math.
I didn't watch the pre-match or half time entertainment. Did the AFL do the right thing by giving Karmichael Hunt a lap in an open car so we could all throw tomatoes at him?

I've pinpointed the exact moment sports coverage in this country died.
This photo embodies everything I despise about the effete, milquetoast, empty-vessel 'selfie' and social media narcissism that has pervaded Australian society.
I like Richo but I don't think I could ever watch or listen to anything he says again after looking at this photo.
Just repulsive

Sydney can keep Kennedy and Franklin!
You can buy a team of champions but it will never beat a champion team.
Hawthorn play for each other and Sydney play for themselves.
Was nice to win on the Haw/Hodge double today, too!

Anyone else noticed Bruce getting a little over-excited at 3:13?

What's strange is you ignoring all the COLA incitement by every Hawks fan and choosing to label the person who is defending his club as the inciter. I merely responded to a Hawks fan carrying on about COLA by telling him to tone it down, only to have a half dozen more Hawk flogs jump down my throat with "suck a dick"
Or is it a Hawks exclusive prerogative to whinge, moan and defame other clubs with impunity?
Maybe Caro was right 
Some random thoughts.
Absolutely belted them physically. Good on Hanners for keeping on after getting smashed a couple of times.
Overall an even performance by the Hawks like it has been all year. Could have raffled the Norm Smith over itch, Burgers, hodge and Langers.
Swans Midfield was very week apart from Kennedy.
Matchups were hard to identify from the tele but was Langers a defensive forward?
Forward line lacked opportunities but the setup causes problems. It's far too tall and does not allow for forward line pressure and rotating half forwards through the midfield.
Goods is too one dimensional and needs to retire. It's either mark it or else he is cooked. No agility, no run and no pressure from him on the rebound.
Franklin and Tippet can work but with more smalls around them. Reid must be a big worry for Longmire very, very average. May prosper if he gets more opportunities if Goodes retires.
Mid and small sized back very poor today other than Malceski on the rebound.
Rioli risk seemed to pay off. Not huge numbers but caused issues re matchups and pressure on the ball. McEvoy also played his role. Strong in the contests. maybe better than Hale?
Jetta very poor even before the headache. Rohan very poor also but they were not on their lonesome. Bottom rung of players for the Swan just couldn't handle it.
Might watch the replay and add some more thoughts.

Just never seen Sydney turn up and expect a win.
It goes against everything they've stood for.
Maybe buddy did destroy the bloods culture, unwittingly and in a subtle way.

Chill out and hope freo kick an extra 2 goals per game mate.
Just making an observation mate, from your completely off-topic and emotive rant though it appears a nerve was struck.

Jack should spend the summer learning to kick with his right foot. He stuffed up several times today cos he can't.

Bad luck dude. Back-to-back trumps all that!
I'm not going to have a "No, it doesn't"; "yes, it does" argument.

Yep, preferred the champion team not the team with a few champions. Lack of effort today. Hawks were 'on'.
