Official North Melbourne vs Hawthorn Game Thread

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Any threat of Wellsy getting a touch or is he being played in the wrong spot again.

 

[Chadwiko]

Petrie kicks the first goal of Q2 from a great mark.

Hawks 1 straight goal in front.

 

[Chadwiko]

Harding with a great interception, runs into 50 and bangs it home. Looked pretty good.

 

[Chadwiko]

Josh Smith roved Hale's squibbed mark. (He went to ground. Again).

Got a free kick, lining up for goal 50 out on a 45 degree angle.

Missed.

 

[Chadwiko]

Corey Jones and David Hale look absolutely useless up forward.

 

[Chadwiko]

Buddy kicks a goal after McMahon kinda messed up a hand ball to Gibson. Unlucky. Hawks back to a 2 goal lead.

We look decent everywhere on the ground except up forward.

Bury the fluke artists, kangas. Expose the pee and the poo for what they really are.

2 men down and giving us a flogging

 

[Chadwiko]

FFS umpire just gave away a 50m penalty out of thin air to gift the Hawks a goal.

 

[DJ Dupree]

I do want to watch the replay of this, but so far it seems like the same old story: grunting, groaning, toiling away to either a 10 point loss or a 2 point win.

Just for something different.

 

[Rod Stroker]

We look horrible. You can just see that the Hawks are a step up in class to us.

Tuck back on the field, but Rioli now up the race with a wrist injury.

 

[Chadwiko]

Umpires are killing us. Ridiculous calls against us. Nothing getting called for us.

As i'm typing this, Corey Jones just missed an absolute sitter of a goal.

 

[__aria__]

if anything the umpires are helping us

just pathetic

 

[Chadwiko]

David Hale, for some reason, was down in defense and got steamrolled by Roughead, and is in the hands of the trainers. Hasn't moved.

Stretcher is coming out for him now.

Hope he's okay, but also hope this is a chance for us to rejig our forward line because it's been woeful at the moment.

Good hit Simmo

Umpires are killing us. Ridiculous calls against us. Nothing getting called for us.

And it's crap like that (also, players like that) that will kill us more than any umpiring will.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Wouldnt it be nice if we would just play some attacking football with a decent structure.

 

[Chadwiko]

FFS umpires! Campbell just got crucified in our goalsquare, umpire right there, no free paid. Hawks rebound and kick a goal.

 

[__aria__]

this is a very very poorly coached side

 

[Chadwiko]

Wells kicks a goal. Campbell Brown hit him high. MRP will look at it. Maybe some points. A week at most.

 

[Rod Stroker]

We just don't look "on" today. Even with all their injury problems the Hawks are up today, they are just clearly a better team.

Gilham, Rioli and Tuck are all back on, Ellis their only injury

 

[__aria__]

sam power is useless

 

[moomba]

Two things killing us here, shit and inconsistent umpiring and an overall skill level that has to be about the worst in the league.

 

[Rod Stroker]

The MMM Hawk love-fest with Crawf, Dunstall and Quaterbrain is doing my head in.

 

[Crazy Horse]

I'm starting to see what the Power haters see. He's been a bloody liability in the last two weeks.
