Finals Discussion Thread

[DylanW]

I just want to watch the dogs more than once a year.

I feel your pain. And the only way that's ever going to happen is an away final at Subi, which probably isn't going to be too satisfying anyway and you'll have to hear about it for the next year

Yeah it happened in 2007(?) when we lost by over 100 In the semi.

The Three Stooges are on too - better option than Mike Brady = sorry fargy, but you've gotta be kidding about Up Their Cazaly don't ya? Absolute dirge. He mimed the whole song and was only live pleading for crowd participation! Bring back Meatloaf, lol!

 

[_Mike_]

just the 1 goal so far, looks pretty evenly matched

 

[BRG93]

Brian is putting on a clinic so far playing really well










Prick

Worst first quarter of a grand final in history. Low intensity, awful skills. Absolute rubbish

Haha each to their own Brings back some good memories for me, I wasn't paying attention to what he was doing, just heard it in the background.

Yeah it wasn't the prettiest quarter to watch. But I think it is much closer than it seems. The only difference at the moment is that the Hawks are making more of their chances inside 50 than Fremantle are, and finding the marks. Fremantle need to lift in the midfield, Hawks finding lose men a little easy at times.

 

[Nightowl]

Lakeys doing well. sadly.

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Hawks finals experience, especially gf experience holding up.

 

[Nightowl]

Shit.. think i tipped the wrong team to barrack for.

 

[King Harold]

Fremantle panicking their way out of a premiership.
Just as well Rioli plays for a great team, looks Like a deer in headlights as well.

 

[BRG93]

Hope the dogs get a mention from Brian post match

 

[Igloo]

Brian playing well. I'll be happy for him if they get up, which it looks like they will.

 

[immortalmike]

My faith in Pav was misguided. Is he mentally weak?

 

[_M_16_]

Not exactly the most entertaining Grand Final. It is actually pretty close in most of the key stats. The big difference is the Hawks are doing the basic things better. Fremantle's disposal efficiency has been terrible, and players are dropping marks when all alone, thus not allowing themselves to control possession, and lets not start with kicking for goal. Hawks in control without dominating, it is Fremantle playing terrible just as much.

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Freo have stage fright, starting to get embarrassing.

 

[boydsno1]

Freo should be infront. Shocking at kicking for goal.

 

[timtamWB]

Hawthorn are just a lot smarter and more composed than Freo. And they can kick straight which always helps

 

[Nightowl]

Very "safe" half-time entertainment..

WHERE'S ANGRY WHEN U NEED HIM.??
Oh. like Holy Grail..

 

[LukasTheGreat]

First half of the game out of the way, there's no excuses for Freo.

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Anyone else sick of Bruce loving Hodge?

Player X tackles/marks/kicks/handballs and it's routine.

Hodge does it and, "he's a wonderful player", "isn't he a star?", "what a leader!", or for a blind kick out of a pack, "typical Hodge"...

Bruce needs to get a non foaming grip on himself, doesn't he?

2006 when it rained.
