2nd Prelim Final - Hawthorn v Port Adelaide, 4.45pm (4.15 SA), MCG

[The Sultan]

Neades been big last few weeks could be a player

 

[TheOz]

Jonas is incredibly underrated.

 

[PowerForGood]

And now we go again.
Can Stevic and Hawthorn get back the momentum a second time?

 

[vast]

What was that free for?

 

[Scully2Folau]

Port's long kicking hnnngggg

 

[Lazix]

Port have accepted the umps I mean Hawthorns challenge.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Hawks didn't Neade that.

 

[Mordecai]

Whenever there's a rule, there's interpretation of that rule.

Fairness is achieved when the interpretation is applied consistently to both parties. This was not the case here, especially on the 50m penalty and the HTB decision.

Explain the 50.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Where all the Hawks supporters defending the armchair ride from the umpires?

It's blatant favouritism.

Shitty umpiring, but again, Port have also kicked inaccurately.

You're always gonna get crappy decisions, they're just more noticeable if the game is close and one side gets the rub of the green.

If you don't capitalise on great play the game is closer and the umpiring is going to shape the game more. If Port were kicking accurately those umpiring decisions wouldn't stick out as much as they do.

 

[Demonalke]

Go Roughy

 

[HungLong]

Roughead is being r*ped by the umps.

 

[Boxhead_31]

See that's why Roughie is the best forward pocket in the game

 

[ozgamer]

SHOOTOUT AT DA G

 

[WCErevival]

Lake looks like he has spent the last 2 weeks eating McDonalds

 

[Rod Stroker]

Good dexterity from Rough

 

[smasha]

Stevic fist pumps as Roughy goals.

 

[BobaFett]

Playing pittard, port just have to take 3 turnover goals from him a game

 

[Righteo]

Figured neade was too slight to impact a big final. Was wrong

He was massive in the second half last week, I had thought the same until then too.

 

[Xtreme]

Port should be 7 goals clear. God unless Port Adelaide get tired in the second half this should be a nail biter by the closing stages of the 4th.

 

[calaisking]

If Pittard hits a target, you know his next three kicks are going to be turnovers

Really needs to work on his kicking. Very inconsistent

 

[Boundryump]

great game

 

[David Roden]

Pittard is a scrub

 

[E92_]

Nice goal, Roughy

 

[Richard Pryor]

Explain the 50.

From what I can see he either called play on, or called the free (which would have made it a 50). The right decision was to call play on, but I can see how the ump made that decision on the spur of the moment.

Gee Roughy is hard to match up on one on one
