Game Day Round 23, 2022: Hawthorn v Western Bulldogs, 1.10pm @ UTAS

[SSSSSS]

Maybe we're the only elite sport that does that shit because the AFL isn't an elite sport.

It's backwater stuff compared to the professionalism of other sporting leagues.

 

[Off The Couch]

It is impossible to do an over the shoulder handball

They just need to finish it off and change the rule for what a handball is

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

So now they can’t even get the right incident on video review

Are they employing monkeys

 

[Billyc]

Little 1%er but DGB did well holding Weightman up there and making him take the shot. Some Dogs were running back to goal.

 

[deanc]

Despite never having control of this match at any time in any facet, it's hard to believe we are still only 15pts in arrears....

 

[Off The Couch]

Sicily might be the king of marks today
But **** me his kicking has been lackadaisical

 

[Hodginator]

So many wasted inside 50

#freekickdogs

 

[VandoHawk]

Our finishing skills are deplorable

 

[rei154]

DGB can hold his head high.
The only time Weightman has gotten him is with that terrible free kick.

 

[badgrill]

What was that even for?

Dermott’s annoying because he talks too much. You don’t have to fill in every silence with words when we’re actually watching the game.
And he’s ridiculously repetitive.

And he loves saying crap like -

”You watch Smith at the centre bounce. He runs off his man to his left side because he knows that Brown and Green are going to double team his opponent. And that gives Smith space to run forward and make position into the gap so that Green when he gets possession can then chip the ball to Black who then can have a free run into goal”.

Some people love that sh*t but others just want to be told who just kicked the ball.

I remember years ago hearing Dermie on the radio referring to quote - a novel writer of the crime genre - unquote. He could have just said “crime writer”, but that didn‘t sound nearly so impressive.

 

[Cleavy]

That’s HTB not paid

 

[Off The Couch]

**** me

That was deadset dropping the ball

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

This scoreline flatters us.

We are a very, very ordinary football team. Without McEvoy to take pressure-relieving marks down the line and across half back, and without Gunston to convert we look even worse.

We're supposed to be young and fit, but there's no run. We are multiple years off contending. Even if we can scrape into finals year after next.

We have two legitimate lock-down defenders in Hardwick and Blanck, and an interceptor in Sicily.

We have one legit forward in Lewis.

And currently one functioning midfielder in Newcombe.

And a bunch of unproven kids and maybes.

Not feeling this at all.

 

[badgrill]

What the fucj HTB?

 

[RhinotheFC]

Holding the ****ing ball again. Unpaid **** me.

 

[SSSSSS]

**** off umps. No incorrect disposal.

 

[rei154]

Abysmal umpiring.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Memo from AFL house has been received by the umpires

 

[Liverbird]

Bulldogs get to live for another week. Onto season 2023 and debates on draft picks for us.

 

[Max Powers]

Ahhhh my face! My beautiful face!

 

[Flamin Joe]

Thats HTB. Nope.

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

Umpires fellating these also-rans now. Get fckd.

 

[badgrill]

Oh ffs this is beyond a ****ing joke now
