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

[RX Hawk]

They are playing for their season and we are already playing for the holiday.
Bye bye.

 

[Turly]

Insipid umpiring. How the * is that not HTB on Smith. Embarrassing.

 

[Maybloomer]

Spins out, legal tackle, drops the ball. Cheating on all scales.

 

[Hawks1994]

This is honestly laughable stuff to finish the year from the fellas in green

You'd be hard pressed to find a more incompetent group of officials in any sport the world over

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Oh well. At least those imbeciles saying DGB isn't good enough can be shut up for at least one day.

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

With the umpires the Bulldogs are nowhere. No premiership. No finals. Hopeless.

 

[Max Powers]

Same crap every year with this lot. If their not quite up to it the umps give em an extra push.

 

[SA HAWK]

This scoreline flatters us.

Would be 10+ goals at Marvel.

 

[Off The Couch]

A throw

LMAO

 

[Max Powers]

**** you ump

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Players visibly pissed off at the umpiring now

 

[badgrill]

campaigners paying throws now is laughable

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

given up

 

[RhinotheFC]

Jeepers we get pinged for a throw???

 

[Cleavy]

I know it's the modern game, but our defenders constantly zoning off when you need to play man-on-man to force more defensive pressure in the last 5-7 min of the game is a frustration to me.

 

[badgrill]

Can't believe I'm saying this but GOBLUES

 

[Max Powers]

Rip off his headband I'll chip in for the fine.

 

[TylerDurden]

Rourke Smith 3 goals.
Ronked.

 

[rei154]

Insult to injury with this shit now.

Nothing is worse than having to cheer on Carlton.

 

[blackheart]

Insult to injury with this s**t now.

Nothing is worse than having to cheer on Carlton.

I'd rather them in than the AFL Throwdogs.

 

[rei154]

I'd rather them in than the AFL Throwdogs.

Absolutely.

 

[Sleutheren]

The Bulldogs are such a soup kitchen of a club. Umpire charity suits them. We deserved to be smashed though.

 

[Max Powers]

Bloody goalless quarters

 

[Kuuz]

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.

Pish posh. We are down like 12 starters on this team and using vets and kids at this point.

Plenty to work with and despite being down in our key area as usual, our midfield first possessions, we are still competitive.

Easy to get down on the boys, but think we're on the right track and still plenty to like. Ward has been superb today, Macca again has shown glimpses of class, Saunders has looked good in patches, DGB has quietly played his best game.

Pretty easy to rag on the boys, but not needed tbh.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Insult to injury with this s**t now.

Nothing is worse than having to cheer on Carlton.

Why on earth would you want to cheer for Carlton?
