He does feel to have a touch of flat track bully about him doesn't he?

Der-Wayne making a very entertaining game very difficult to watch

 

[AFLQLD]

The kangaroos post match thread is simply called Disgrace. And Scott said in the post-match that the players would get what's coming to them during the week. Will be an interesting lead up!

Der-wayne is terrible.

Absolutely loathe the way he persistently and consistently refers to a shot at goal from 50 as "from the paint!!"

 

[Mr Ripper]

Taylor Walker's game was as close to a Carey-like performance as I've seen. Will be interesting too see if he can keep it going.

PS Wayne, not Stefan.

Hawks v Geelong game doesn't look like it is going to disappoint

Clark & Hawkins combo looking good so far as well.

 

[PertRoosOsborne]

Always interesting to watch how the great teams go about it compared to us.....neither of these teams hand the ball one metre to a stationery target.

 

[LionKing]

Hawks have so much fire power going forward. I think it's the hawks flag to lose.

We're seeing both the positives and negatives of having two big lumbering forwards in this game. They look potent going forward, but their defensive pressure around the ground is ordinary. They wouldn't mind having a second tall forward who could do a bit more up the field.

Hawthorn look a million dollars in this quarter. They'll take some beating.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Meh, Hawks at the top of their game again.

For some reason, I don't remember it being this dull when we were heading towards our three peat.

Yeah, I may have jumped the gun on both points. Hawks turned on the heat in that 2nd quarter. I don't think you could blame Hawkins or Clark for Geelong's performance though, they looked really poor coming out of the back half and entering the forward 50.

It's interesting to see if Geelong can respond here.

 

[AFLQLD]

Hawthorn are in a different class this quarter. Geelong look like just another team at the moment.

 

[Crawb]

****, our 3-peat is in strife.

It's hard to imagine them losing right now, but I remember the start of 2001, when betting on Essendon to win the flag seemed better than bank interest.

Hawthorn is scary.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Means nothing unless they make it to a fourth grand final.

With the rise of Port, could they stop a 4th in a row again?

The Hawks need to win 3 in a row before they go for 4 in a row mate.

Oh of course but it would be hilarious if Port do it again, that's all.

 

[MacMum]

Scott boys will not be happy chappies tonight......they will both be on the bottom of the ladder. Geelong play Freo next week.......could be 0-2


...and here I was worrying that it would be us and the Suns/Saints.........who'd have thunked it would be them

"Everyone these days talks in clichés, but it is about actions not words." - Brad Scott.

He is using a cliche to explain that he will be using actions rather than cliches to presumably improve the team. I thought that was ... humourous. (And convoluted and confusing.)

You do both recall the Hawks played a GF in 2012, yeah? So they got their losing one in that year, and if they make it, this year will be their 4th GF in a row.

Yeah but the streak starts from the first premiership win.

Just because I said so.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Sidebottom out for 6-8 weeks.

Geez, longer then I would have thought.

 

[MacMum]

Really???.....Well then, poor old Rocky would have to be out for 6mnths (won't be though) if Sidebottom is out that long with a itzy bitzy broken thumb.

...the Steele is not very strong in the Pies camp, weak quality...

..however, ours is Rock solid, holds up strong.
