Game Day Round 18: Hawks vs Dockers 1:45pm @ UTAS

[Sixpence]

The umpires don’t know. One play (CJ) the player is tackled immediately, with no way of getting rid of it. They let that play out to end in HTB.
30 seconds later the millisecond the player is tackled they call a ball up.

Commentators said it was HTB every day of the week, then went into how he had no chance of disposing of it. Go figure.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Need Newcombe to hit some form.

 

[Back Pocket Rocket]

I don’t know what it is but I just can’t get into this game - dare I say it’s boring

So a typical Tassie game

I could be wrong, but if CJ wasn’t trying to run and break the tackle, then it would have been a ball up?

Commentary, umpiring and fumbles are a killer.

Day, Moore and Watson have been impressive so far. Ward working really hard and Mass doing some nice things.

Forward pressure needs to improve.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Right now the game is on their terms. Methodical process winning the midfield battle. Finding a few too many gaps in our zone as well. We did well to try and wrest control throughout. Jackson is comfortably beating Meek ATM. These athletic rucks are an issue. He reminds me of Paddy Ryder.

 

[Mr Lizard]

Umpire calls stand, player runs off the mark and another runs onto it from behind our player. ****ing stupid umpiring

yet earlier, umpire is insistent Lloyd Meek has to stand the mark, not allowed to be replaced.

WT actual F? what rule is that?

 

[Maybloomer]

I can't blame the umps, the AFL has absolutely cooked the holding the ball rule. It's an absolute shambles

The non call against Freo for HTB just sums up where this rule is at the moment. Ticked every box for the new rule and didn’t get paid. Farcical.

 

[Jethro!]

They look slick Freo. Going to need to play well to win. Loving Wiz and Day's intensity

 

[Rioli magic]

Am just getting updates through the app. What's the energy like in the middle?

A lot of tackling with random HTB decisions being paid, mostly not in our favor.

 

[Max Powers]

Kick it Wiz

 

[Paul Kersey]

Dear me.

 

[Billyc]

Watson can’t take a trick. Finally gets one on line and that happens

 

[Cleavy]

Can’t tell like every friggin week

 

[Flamin Joe]

Nice denied goal there.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Twice dear has done that, just Shephard the ball

 

[Buzz Hawk]

No touch there wtf.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Umpire is gutless

 

[Rioli magic]

Fingers didn’t bend back there - I think that was a goal.

NFI what Meek was thinking.

 

[Max Powers]

I give up

 

[MinerBoy]

Jesus the evidence was it wasn’t touched ffs

There is insufficient evidence? You can't see it being touched. That's ****ing ridiculous. What an amateur sport.

 

[rdhopkins2]

need to win these games in LST and keep the fortress alive. A slim chance of finals too if we win today. Good test for the lads. Breathe fire boys!

 

[smeltitdeltit]

Ironic. Watsons best kick for goal at the club.

 

[Paul Kersey]

That’s horseshit.
