I genuinely fear what we're gonna do to port next year. I'll say 80+ home, 50+ at AO.
We will savage them
Who called us the baby hawks? WTF is he on about?

Was interesting how they lost both finals that Dixon played in

You kinda need to look at the teams in context as well. Arguably the most important place to have experience is the midfield and they had more across the board.

That guy moved to the states a few years ago and is now completely full of all things 'merica Kool-Aid.
Lived in Europe for many years as well. Im not anti/pro any sports, just a little more educated on other sports than I was 10 years ago. Interestingly the players you follow at the Hawks are all pretty obsessed with US sports. That's why they spend their off season over here. They be drinking more kokool aid than me.

How did that get played off as no try?

I don't know 'league' that well, but I know that's a try.

You see jolt when the ball touches the ground, embarrassment from the arc.
Because the panthers are the only team that has supporters actually spend money on merch

It wasn’t a try - his own arm is under the ball. Bunker made the right call - and I have zero love for Penriff.

Most seemed to be in agreement, although Brad Fittler wasn’t so sure.
“When you go into the bunker there is 23 camera angles,” he said.
“Whoever is sitting there at the moment, which is Grant Atkins, he would have every view.
“From the one I saw his hand was underneath the ball.”
Reporters were later shown another angle viewers hadn't seen on TV which appeared to back up Fittler’s assertion.
Journalist Martin Gabor tweeted: “Fair play to the NRL. We’ve been shown a high resolution replay and there is no point when the ball touches the ground. Jack Howarth did NOT score. I thought it was definitely a try at the time.”
AAP reporter Scott Bailey also wrote: “If ever there was an argument for broadcasters to show what the bunker sees, that was it. The NRL have shown media footage that clearly shows Howarth did not ground the ball. But that’s a tough sell to everyone who just turned off the TV.”

Mate I love US sports, I’ve watched all of them as much as I could since my teens. I love most sports and will pretty much watch anything on TV outside of golf. I’m all for anyone disagreeing with my views on AFL umpiring because it’s subjective as hell and everyone will have differing views. However I don’t think comments saying it’s the hardest game to officiate stem from myopic/jingoistic thinking. I also don’t get why you felt the need to denigrate the athleticism of AFL players by saying it was laughable to say it’s one of the most athletic sports. As I mentioned earlier - no athletes run as far each game, particularly in contact sports, and to my knowledge there isn’t a sport where players have to play for up to 2 hours each game. Combine all this running with players who quite bloody big and also many who have amazing vertical leaps. To deny the athleticism of our players is just odd in my view.

Man I’ve watched both angles and there has to be some sort of optical illusion going on because it looks like the ball absolutely hit the ground in the tv shot

Multiple journos have seen the footage the bunker relied upon to make the call (which was not the Channel 9 footage) and stated that it definitely showed him as being held up.

Yeah I understand, the bunker angle it’s clearly arm under the ball. But just looks so much like it hit ground in the 9 vision.

Have the Hawks supporters really moved on after losing a very winnable match, and Kenny giving some well deserved lip back to some of your players? I suspect the loss is still a little raw and was a great opportunity missed, especially after the Swans shat the bed in the GF (again).
