Non Lions Discussion 2024

[Tom14]

Hawks have been drinking the bathwater this week - being incredibly selfish, thinking they can get away with playing like millionaires.

Port haven't made them pay though.

 

[Tom14]

Die hawks

 

[braddsey]

Now Port need to play 3 more quarters. Hawk fans came still be happy that they went well this season, the rest of the AFL fans can breath a sigh of relief that we don’t have to deal with another off season of unrelenting smug.

 

[martinson]

The media scolding of Port fans for being unhappy with Ken is going to be so good. Whately will devote an entire hour of his program to it on monday if they get up.

One thing has me completely gobsmacked.

Whoever thought it was a good idea for Whately to call the Aths at the Olympics ? Really spoiled a lot of the pathos for me.

Undoubtedly the worst sounding voice I've ever heard in the media ,that's before you get to the drivel that comes out of it.

As far as this game goes the Hawks are finding out about finals. Let's see how good they are if Port can keep up the pressure.

I think Ginnivan will be watching the Swans game next week from the pub

Has to be in his contract with SEN that he gets to do that right? They send him on a junket to do the worst superbowl commentary every year too.

 

[martinson]

Port are wasting total dominance by lack of polish with the final entry.

When I think of he great broadcasters we've had in sports I think Gerard slots in at the bottom behind Norman May. At least Norman was good for a laugh.

 

[martinson]

Port have a few players with poor finishing skills.

And making up for that by having a red hot go.

That was such a dumb free by Allir. And really hardly there.

 

[McIvor]

FreekickHawthorn. Aside from the Allir one the rest are just BS

 

[martinson]

Is the ump kidding with that one ?

What the hell sort of a decision was that ?

 

[Tom14]

How do they not penalise the butters tackle which was basically a suplex and then ping that one lol?

 

[Viceregal]

I thought of the ball hits the ground before you kick it in a tackle it was a free against?

Slinging motion. Textbook free, commentators notwithstanding

 

[martinson]

Umps have completely swung the momentum in this game.

I thought he cradled him but on replay it was more 50-50. But definitely wasn't close to the worst slinging tackle tonight.

 

[martinson]

Slinging motion. Textbook free, commentators notwithstanding

Textbook ?

They've let the same thing go twice already before that.

 

[McIvor]

Umps have completely swung the momentum in this game.

Well and truly and yet people keep telling me that they don’t influence games.

 

[Helicon1]

Disgraceful umpiring.
Two goals gifted to hawks.

 

[Ceebee]

Some poor decisions getting Hawks back in the game .
They really want a Vic team in the finals .

Hope Port don’t choke now .

 

[McIvor]

Textbook ?

That’s garbage slinging motion; that’s how you execute a lot of tackles. Sure if there head is driven into the ground but the umps have otherwise turned this game due to VFL influence

 

[luthor]

Ah....the VFL at its finest

 

[luthor]

Well and truly and yet people keep telling me that they don’t influence games.

Yes they do.

I dunno whether the umps are influenced.

They just have no judgement.

If you're going to pay those where the bloke doesn't hit his head on the ground and gets up no problem then pay all of them. Not 2 in front of goal.

Totally spoilt the game.

 

[braddsey]

Port’s emotive response has ended. Now they have to do it on grit.
