Autopsy Hawthorn v the great pretenders

[Dixie Flatline]

AFL's match report didn't put Burgoyne amongst the best players for Hawthorn. Not sure what game Travis King was watching as I have him our BOG (and will accordingly vote as such in the Yabby medal; make sure you do).

 

[Tyrone Time]

The day will come when we are sitting around with the grand kids and telling them how the stories about Burgoyne and Mitchell are not exaggerated.

Two once in a generation footballers at the same club at the same time. Wow!

Those dodgy knees are holding together, thanks Port!

Was it Hartung that let Boomer kick that goal from the ruck contest? Nice that he contributed a couple of his own but gees, get a defensive side to your game.

TOB was encouraging, if we believe that soon he'll soon hang on to a higher % of these grabs. Certainly times his leap sweetly.

Burgoyne, nuff said. Even with the stumble he had a great night and influenced the contest our way so many times.

 

[SSSSSS]

no mate.. Majak all the way ..such a huge influence says Bruce and Tim

Your profile pic is what we would have seen in the commentary box all night with the Majak love.

Sorry for the intrusion but anyone know Sicily's current height?
The websites say 186 but that was likely from a few years ago and may have grown a little since then.

If I had to guess, watching him closely this year, and in particular tonight against Scott Thompson (193cm), he looked only a centimetre or two shorter

Only mortals get listed, It would be unfair

Geez..... hope you aren't working at our polling place next month!

Howe had a poor game but he's been good enough throughout the year to justify persisting with him.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Stratts needs a shave... Awefull!

Who wore it better, Strats or the Demons mascot.

He would be under 190, He's just excellent at reading the ball and has fantastic timing which is pretty much half the skills you need

 

[Upgrayedd]

also, I sometimes forget Daniel Wells is about my favourite AFL player, the guy just went in hard without Lube.

 

[Max Powers]

David King whining about Sicily being the 4th most paid player for ducking
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
Edit: and now complaining that Thomas didn't get paid for tackles that were high that were exactly the same crap.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Did LOL.

The tears on the main board game day thread are delicious. People once again claiming we got a good ride from the umps despite getting 20 frees against us in the first half.

Great gritty win despite being outplayed for most of the night. We are still not playing premiership footy for mine. Winning but we won't beat sides in September getting smashed like that in the clearances.

Sicily was brilliant. Anyone whinging about the frees he got should get stuffed. Thought Billy bounced back from a shaky start and played a solid game as did TOB. Stewart did a couple of good things but was pretty quiet overall. Howe was a little disappointing with his disposal.

Lewis, Mitchell, Burgoyne, Birchall and Rioli were among our best.

Gotta love the media already making the case for Ziebell to get off. Imagine if Lewis did that. They'd be calling for 4 weeks.

Suck shit to the bunch of sniping sooks.

I've watched a lot of team sport in my day and I'm no spring chicken, but it is fair dinkum embarrassing the way the commentators just openly barrack and become fanboys of the teams we play against.

Honestly talk about unprofessional and down right cringe worthy...

 

[LuckyHawk]

Tall player he is...

and we might well need him for finals, I think he should have played last week too.

 

[SA HAWK]

We were lucky but 4 points is 4 points.

Hope we can find some good form before the finals.

 

[macdaddio]

Wonder if we going to see all week those free kick hawthorn stupid memes from that Diver in the minute of the game

 

[MinerBoy]

And here we go... Kingy highlighting frees to Sicily.

 

[Lethality]

Watson's comparison with Buckenara was pretty spot on, that's who Sicily reminds me of.

 

[MinerBoy]

Brad Johnson calls him out beautifully.

 

[PhatHQ]

Same!

 

[Upgrayedd]

Clearly if he wasn't such a campaigner...

 

[Steven Tyler]

Hamish has a nice sounding laugh.....................

 

[Furn2]

Sorry but this Daw reverse racism is ridiculous.

The guy did very little but was by far the most mentioned player.

With 2 mins to go in a 3 point game Daw not being about to get on the ground is somehow the game breaker.
