Would you like to revisit that comment?
Geelong back in the finals picture after beating the third favourite for the premiership in Hawthorn
Congrats!
Congrats!
It’s always the crap also ran teams supporters who blame umpires.
When Hawthorn were a good side the supporters wouldn't do that,
how the mighty have fallen, very sad.

Hawks tried hard but the Geelong youth was too much for them - De Koning was awesome. Bit of a much needed reality check and now Hawthorn supporters can start to look to the draft.
He was running back with the flight, should have been a free to Kolo if anything.
Mods asleep today.

Why are Hawthorn supporters so ignorant about the rules?
Because you have to wait for a stoppage. Umps can't just halt the game in the middle of a passage of play, not until there's a ball up, or an OOB, or a score.
The standard Hawthorn fan response v Geelong is every free kick to Geelong is not only inherently wrong, but rabidly so.Everyone blames umpires in a loss(them or BT or Luke Darcy!)
Whereas every free kick to the noble and brave Hawks is fair and underpaid

I love him. Doesn't need to get millions of touches or even kick a lot of goals like he did today; he's excellent defensively and when he gets it, good things happen.

Mate, it was in a marking contest, nothing in it.
You cannot hit a player high no matter what. If your elbow or hand or anything of such nature cops a player high, it’s a free kick. He elbowed him in the back of the head and left him gushing blood..

Essendon lost last week by 45 points because Draper didn't get a free kick for frontal contact, and this week Hawthorn lost by 51 points because Lewis didn't get a free kick for high contact.

Isn't Hawthorn getting investigated for systemic racism? Losing on and off field these days. Maybe that's what Hawthorn need, at least when they were racist they managed to win more than the odd game. Nowadays it's all about celebrating storming into 13th position on the ladder.
It's such a fine line isn't it.
Players enjoying their footy, mucking around a bit, cool goal celebrations etc. can be a great sign of unity and a tight culture - but it can also be a sign of a group of flogs that have gotten ahead of themselves.
The scales can tip over very easily.

In fairness, kudos to Sam Mitchell for the very public stand he took against racism in his post match press conference a few weeks back (essentially "if those are your beliefs, we don't want you").
Something's going on with this Hawthorn team this year, it's like they have a team full of debut year Mark Williamses, Xavier Duursmas, Rhys Mathiesons and - yes - Jack Ginnivans running around for them. They like to antagonise, rub the opponents noses in their successes and celebrate every goal like the start of Baseketball, even if they're losing by 40.
That's awesome. Good for them. But that sort of stuff tends to really rub opposition teams the wrong way, especially those who've paid their dues. It's just the way it is. Geelong isn't a team that traditionally gets involved too much in that sort of stuff over the past decade, but I still remember Selwood mocking Mathieson in the first few games of his career with an imitation of his rifle/bow and arrow celebration or whatever it was.
Jiath and Chol are part of the group and if they want to dish it out (wasn't too hard to read Chol's lips when he disagreed with a free kick paid to Tuohy), be prepared to take it.
Unlike a lot of fanbases, Geelong can look back with some pride that we weren't one of the home crowds that contributed to booing Adam Goodes out of the game in 2015. A fair few others can't say the same.

Geelong put on an absolute clinic today. Their best is great but just haven’t had the consistency so far this year.
Seems to be if the mids can avoid being belted, we have the forward structure to do some damage. Hawks tried all day, but basically we jumped them at the start and that was around the margin.

Geelong had something like 6 shots in the first 6 minutes. Hawthorn were dominated for the most part of the day and the Cats just played fast, clean footy leaving the Hawks in a daze.
