Hawthorn V Richmond 4:40pm @ the G

[Stewie Griffin]

Kicking ourselves out of the game. Got a couple of lucky ones from frees too.

If we lose we only have ourselves to blame.

 

[aussieicon91]

Makes me laugh when people call us 'Tassie' when we're playing at Home at the MCG.

We let them get away in the last 2 minutes where they kicked 2 goals where we should've kept them scoreless for the quarter.

 

[sante]

Should be 6 goals up. Tigers lucky to be this close

Our pressure is keeping us in the game. Yeah, you can't kick straight but our turnovers are giving you the opportunity.


We look fitter, destroying them in the last few minutes of quarters

You look fitter? Are you watching the same game? Healy just said your fitness is not up to ours.

 

[Hawkk]

Crowd? Appx?

50k probably, its hard to tell

 

[PoidaCat]

Well if Healy said it. It's definately true!

Richo has done a great job dropping back on Buddy.

Richmond have rattled our forwards, which will come back to hurt us this half

What a friggin shambles.

Dominated that half. Absolutely dominated. Richmond barely getting the ball forward of 50. Hawks SHOULD be 7-10 goals in front. Goal kicking a massive problem. And the umpiring. Have to wonder if there is an agenda sometimes. How can a side that tackles and chases as well as we do and applies great defensive pressure, never get rewarded for our efforts. Always at least 2-1 against in free kick counts. We barely get paid a HTB even when we spin them 720, but they get given against us every time.

May not mean anything, but Richmond have kicked a couple of goals late in both quarters.

Did we 'dominate' the game, arguably.

Richmond have been falling down badly across the half forward line, we're falling down in front of goal.

In general play its pretty even IMO

ROFL. You blokes have been gifted 2 goals on a platter.

 

[Phil McCreviss]

I cant understand the umpiring when it comes to the ruck. Both ruckmen look around with fingers crossed hoping its there free kick.

 

[Red Handed]

Tigers exposing the Hawks for what they are ............Imposters! Next saturday will be a massive wake up call for you jokers.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

We'll lose this.

Horrible half.

Full credit to Wallace, he has completely out coached us so far.

I don't think we have been out coached at all. If we kicked straighter the game would almost be over.

Yes, dominated the play. They are overpossessing in their backline due to our great pressure, which is why the free kick count astounds me.

Only place we are not smashing them is the scoreboard. Comments about Wallace out coaching us are silly. If we kick straight and get the fair rub of the green we would be 45+ ahead.

Agree umpiring has been ok. Its our kicking that stinks more than a dead fanny

yeh i agree agree buddy's hand's in the back go unnoticed way to often, mind you never seen him spin 720.

Disagree.

His Franklin match ups are killing us, sadly we're still Franklin demensional.

We need to find alot more options or we'll get killed against the high quality sides

 

[wolvesjr34]

I'd like some straight kicking for goal. Our field kicking down too, but Richmond have pressured very well, full credit to them. Make the most of their opportunities too, which is what you need to do to get an upset. Plus our team looks a bit flat, which is what you need.

Hopefully we can kick straight this half.

Can't wait. Considering you got flogged by Carlton and Richmond flogged Carlton, it should be a treat watching Hawthorn destroy Collingwood.

 

[MinerBoy]

HTB = holding the ball.

Free to Richmond 10 seconds in.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Expect a bumper 3rd, the tiges have been either great or terrible in the 3rd. !!!

 

[MagpieGlory]

Another behind to Hawthorn as we start the 2nd half.

 

[TFLUA-Tiger]

Love the sooks.

Hawks will win, but don't come crying about the umps if you don't.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

You've had more than that.
