[Harper_Hawk]

Um... I was pointing out there is no w in necombe.

Oh.. I should wear my glasses more often.

Any talk on here of Blake Acres (if that's his name) being rubbed for falling on Watson's head with his elbow in the first quarter. Absolute dog act.

Agree . Nothing to see here apparently. Move on. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it deserved scrutiny. Imagine it was Sicily dishing it out!

 

[toomanysquibs]

The real benefit when the talls are back are the connection they will have with the smalls. I will have a lot more confidence in our ability to bring the ball to ground for our smalls when these blokes rare back on the team.

Yep, it changes the complexion of our whole set up when there is not as much speed on our entries, and forces backlines to be more accountable in more areas when the highball is on the cards.

There were some lowlights from BT last night, including "Oh boy! Connor's ankle getting a full workout there, the whooooole range of motion!"

It's a potentially serious injury Brian, it's not a banananana from the boundary.

edit: the fox commentary also featured the hilarious moment where David "could've-coached-if-I'd-wanted-to" King interpolated "Time to get Sicily out of the forward line, he's having no impact, gotta make the move to switch him back right now" - only to have Sicily take a huge contested mark and kick a goal about 45 seconds later.

Jack Reiwoldt suggesting we need to break the glass because of a 'Cripps emergency' was a good one too, considering he said it half way through the first quarter when we were leading every statistical category AND on the scoreboard.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

TDK on the bench for 10 minutes in the 4th quarter helped, he played his best game ever i reckon and he was stuck on the bench for 10 minutes lol

He was 10x better Rd 1. He's a gun

Mate that really shat me. Should have been a free kick and I genuinely think that's worth a week. I'm really sick and tired of the niggly tough guy bullshit that's in the game these days, I've said this before- but it creeps to a lower level where blokes actually might hit you back. The shoving someone when you tackle them holding the ball is so pathetic and shit. Hate it.

 

[peetoo]

Head neck is sacrosanct. Unless a guy is pinned down in a pack

Ultimate hypocracy AFL

 

[JZedd]

that happened RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!!

Great smother but I thought the Umpire would call for a balls up???

Most of the umpiring was a balls up!

 

[Baz_hawk]

That kick of D'Ambrosio's out of defense in the last was a thing of beauty. Completely opened up Carlton's setup behind the ball.

 

[Turly]

KARLton fans spitting chips over umpiring, on the radio. I thought that hawks got the wrong end of things, at the ground.

Replay will be interesting.

From memory their first 5 scores came from free kicks inside 50 (4 goals and 1 behind). Almost unheard of.

We may have won the free kicks count but the majority of them were in the defensive 50 or on the wings.

Sicily 100% would've got weeks

 

[Lando_]

Sitting on the couch with my Hawthorn jumper on watching us out class the Blues, was a really nice relaxing night after a hard days work. Even at half time I had a smile on my face. Watching the Wiz hit back this week, Battle winning one on one's with strength.

It was a great win. We showed another way to win.

 

[grumbleguts]

Thou shall have faith - why not 6 - 0?

That's exactly my stance.

 

[Nugett]

Um... I was pointing out there is no w in necombe.

Seeing Necombe plays for the HaWks, that’s a big W in my books. So I’m happy if there is a W in NeWcombe

 

[kenneje]

Watching the replay and geez those two goals by Gunston were huge. So good to have him back in the team again.

He would have been suspended on the spot and would have started serving his penalty mid game with a send off

Bit stiff on Ward to miss out on a vote. Probably Frenchy too.

Umpires voting looks nothing like this

Just saw the 19 on the ground thing. Really poor from our interchange team - they need to be alert to that and it was an umpiring error that saw us not punished further.

Outrage seems excessive though. It only occurred when players were resetting for the bounce, and 6-6-6 meant it was never impacting play. I reckon I've had about 4 Carlton supporters frothing at the mouth saying we should be stripped of points lol.

Anyone who says "stripped of points" or "their score should have gone back to zero" is admitting they don't know that the rule has changed since 6-6-6 was introduced.

The mistake was made
It was caught immediately
The rules of the game were applied correctly

The combo of 666 violation and 19 on field tripped the matrix


Seems like the rule makers never thought of the practicalities

Very true.

I still can't get my head around how our interchange stewards cocked that one up so badly though.

They'd want to make sure that doesnt happen again anytime soon or Sam will be less than impressed
