Toast Hawthorn have headf***ed everyone

[AlwaysHawks15]

The rule is poorly understood. It states that a player is not under immediate pressure. When McGrath receives the ball, the three closest players are his teammates and Watson is five metres away. He runs back, slips over, and invites the pressure on him. He then handballs it through blatantly to no-one. Objectively correct call.

We did get the rub of the green...but every team does in the season. This narrative of umpiring favouritism has never been grounded in reality. FFS we had the third worst free kick differential across 2012-2018 when this stuff started.

The ump was actually in perfect position to see it all unfold. 10 metres away in the pocket. It was a clear deliberate because he invited the pressure when it wasn't there initially by falling over and he had team mates around him. McGrath knew he stuffed up because he didn't protest just had a look of disappointment on his face.

I can’t believe how much we have mentally head****ed oppo supporters.

The ‘free kick hawthorn’ calls are laughable - I thought it probably evened out with a few bad calls each way.

Just in the first quarter alone:

• Morrison gets tackled after marking on our fwd 50 - was a 50m last week on Sicily and would have given us a goal today.
• Battle ran down Reid who dropped the ball getting tackled in our Fwd 50 after he took about 4-5 steps… watching the replay, I couldn’t believe the commentators said nothing…

Then you throw in Watson being taken high multiple times in the fwd 50 BECAUSE HES THE SHORTEST PLAYER ON THE GROUND.

Clearly there are many salty supporters (and commentators) who have truly been head****ed.

The McGrath one is so funny.

He got the ball. Waited in the goal square looking for an outlet option. Then saw Watson coming towards him, panicked, turned around, fell over, then HANBALLED STRAIGHT OVER THE GOAL LINE.

Thoroughly deserved the shame of a deliberate rushed behind call.

The #freekickhawthorn thing has ramped right up. Get ready for it.

The crab was always in trouble when he couldn't go sideways.

Maybe we’re that good that we’ve started to headf*** our own

I’ve talked to many hawthorn fans who leaned this way after all our success, the criticism to play perfect in every moment of every game (even when we win) it’s slightly odd when you realise it’s a competition and the other team is trying to

Yeah it's like they think it's ballet or something.

Spoilt.

 

[The Chad and I]

Not headfuc%ed but plain dumb

Heard a hawk supporter on SEN after the game being highly critical of moore. Questioning his game, disposal, value to the team - I’m thinking wtf

Another was Chol - here was I thinking he played a good game and we have supporters phoning in being critical of his “lack of effort”

Maybe they are head****ed

There are supporters like this through every era.
Football brings out the worst in people.

Pretty good effort to be fair.

We've always been like that, we must've had the most negative 3 peat of all time if we go back and look at some of the match threads.

Joey Montagna “who knows, a couple of score reviews and free kicks on the goal line and things don’t look bad for Carlton at all”

More that it followed on from David King “free kicks 27 - 17 in hawks favour if anyone is interested”

It’s tiresome that sort of response is coming from media

king going so quiet in the last quarter after barracking so hard all game, it was so soothing

The best part was around about halfway through the 3rd quarter he said 'jeez Carlton are just playing so bloody good' then there was a pause and them chiming in again 'oh I mean Hawthorn'

Was sarcasm champ

 

[TylerDurden]

They hate us.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Good. Hawthorn hates them too.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

I don't think Kingy hates us he's just pigheaded so when he gets stuck on an idea he keeps going in on it. I listen to him with Kane a fair bit on Fridays and he's often pretty complimentary of us. Just gets stuck in the mud with an idea
