AFL 2017 - R9 - Collingwood v Hawthorn - 19:25 AEST, MCG

You mean like your 11 wooden spoons? Enjoy your top draft pick!

No spoons in my lifetime. 12 flags though. Pretty happy.

 

[Angus Young]

Nope we had a beautiful display of choking to refresh ourselves on how bad Hawthorn are today

says the Essendon supporter...

 

[Lance Uppercut]

haha you support essendon = FAIL, if we were watching a game in a dark alley with a syringe instead of a football your mob would surely be GOAT!

Nawww that's so precious. The angst is radiating

 

[HeHateMe]

Anyway, full credit to Collingwood. they worked out a way to win.

Hawks need some stability to many players don't gel. 6 Forced changes after a win isn't ideal.

Shh... Don't mention "in your lifetime" to Essendon supporters (or Collingwood for that matter) - it's a touchy subject

 

[footyboi1]

You have heard of Leigh Matthews, right?

Oh past players, I thought you were trying to make a relevant comment. I thought wrong, carry on living in the past old man.

 

[hk89]

Assuming you don't trade them all for some magic beans?

One of the magic beans collected 50 possessions tonight. Once the other magic bean is back on the park, and can receive handballs from the first magic bean, both magic beans will be looking like good choices. More magic beans please.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Perhaps they shouldnt have to give the ball back just put it straight on the ground and have a team mate get it or the person with the free get the ball themselves.

Wouldn't be against that tbh. I agree that if Goldsack's kick was accidental it could be unfair to give 50 against him but with the way the rule is there is no way you cannot pay that, Collingwood just got to big of an advantage for the extra ten seconds it took to finally get to Breust. You could see on the umpires face that he thought he probably should have paid it hence why he came up with the ridiculous excuse that Breust could've got it. Bad call but there are plenty of bad calls during the match, that was just the most obvious and most recent fluff

isn't that the only thing that matters though. The best thing about supporting clubs is to enjoy and live the ups.

 

[hk89]

Seems good bloke ol' mate Fat Hodgey dislikes his own medicine.

Got pretty angry over the injustice of being sniped - wonder if he's got a highlight reel of himself whacking blokes from behind

Refresh my memory, where are the clips of these "whacking blokes from behind"? He's certainly whacked a few blokes, don't recall too many of hem being from behind. Maybe you are getting him confused with our coach?

 

[Navi]

AFL tipping site says I tipped Collingwood but got the tip wrong. Is this just on my end?

 

[rdhopkins2]

We're just lucky Collingwood didn't show up until half time. Good second half pies. Should have been 100pts!

 

[JC Hawks]

Yeah we're only 7-2. How are you going?

In a rebuilding phase buddy. It's usually what happens after winning a few premierships in a row and not receiving any good draft picks. Would be tough for an Adelaide supporter to understand that in the modern era though.

 

[Hawkforce]

I think that's the part that upsets them.

And it makes the 4 PREMIERSHIP CUPS in 9 years so satisfying for us, and so galling for them.

I lived through the 80's too. Poor poor bastards

He's either got a short memory or a yellow streak all the way down his back. Maybe both?

Pies gave it to him there, didn't they?

Can't help thinking he's in for a few more square-ups before he retires.

Commentators were still at pains post-match to tell us all about what a good bloke he is who respects everybody because he shook hands after the game. What a guy!

1984 and 1985 as well? Great years.

I prefer to call it the #nofreekickhawthorn period. Sucks on this side of the fence, doesn't it?

Just tuned in. The melts in this thread are funny.

Pet membership massively down

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Pet membership massively down

Or the 1 game tassie memberships

 

[BPikkers]

Tough with half our side out champ. At least we could still beat Melbourne though.

The other half of your side isn't that good really. Wouldn't have made a difference.

 

[aCunningPlan]

Oh past players, I thought you were trying to make a relevant comment. I thought wrong, carry on living in the past old man.

Okay so it's agreed, once all banned players retire from Essendon, you and everyone on bigfooty will never mention the drugs saga ever again because it is in the past.

Maybe it was both of them. Getting harder to tell them apart.

Perhaps I should have said, "whacking blokes who weren't expecting it."

Probably more accurate.

 

[Bombermania]

How many you seen in your lifetime champ?

Head to head in your lifetime champ?

H2H in GF is 2 - 1

Sure the Hawks have been outstanding since the 1970s and full credit to the Mayblooms for getting their house in order but Hawk fans need to get over the so called saga when WADA can't even bring themselves to back the ITF because its Maria.

WADA is the ultimate down hill skier.

 

[Bombermania]

Am enjoying all the Essendon fans jumping in on Collingwood's coat-tails.

What was it Hirdy said just before he launched the injection regime? "I hate Hawthorn the most"

I for one don't hate the Hawks, they are a great club with an impressive culture and history.
