Put you off Noble?

So like Rd 2?

Was about round 8 I think from memory. I gave him a bit more time than others haha

 

[The Talent Scout]

if mac andrew continues to stay in the forward for the suns he’s going to be a massive problem for most clubs to try and find a good match up for him.

Good call!

 

[ferball]

I hope Duirsma turns into a gun, but the more you see of Nate Caddy you can’t help think we missed one here given the need for another tall forward.

Love his marking but his kicking is poor. Maybe if he was with larkey he could learn to kick straight tho.

Channel 7 having to amp up the noise at the G again.

Go Dees have dropped off in big numbers.

If this was us there would be the usual cracks about the lack of people turning up.

For all the noise of the so called "big clubs", where are all the supporters? Richmond and Melbourne having won premierships and being in finals mode you have anywhere between 60 and 80 K, this is not on the loyal supporters or people who work full time, they are the real supporters, but the amount of people who jump on the bandwagon is amazing . I know all clubs have these supporters but 17,867, at the MCG AND TWO WEEKS AGO 16,246, where are all the supporters for a large fan base, in Melbourne?

Melbourne have never been a big supporter base.

They have had that glossed over with recent success.

Now their supporters are seeing them struggle they can’t be ****ed turning up.

You can say what you like about our club, but we have always had a very loyal core of supporters that keep showing up regardless of how bad we are.

Hawks putting their foot down here

 

[cznsnowy91]

Hawks are playing good footy, absolutely all over Carlton. Are the Blues even going to make finals...?

annihilating them

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Hawks have gone ballistic.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

There are some seriously average teams going to be playing finals this year.

Someone is going to steal a flag.

It’s why our continued butchering of simple skills is so frustrating.

Looks like the Hawks have perfected Northball

as going to say the same thing, hawks are tidy, makes the game easy,

we play FumBall not northball

 

[Roosurgence]

You would love some of the leniency the Hawks defenders have been given.

McKay and Curnow would have racked up 10 free kicks if the players were in North jumpers.

They also constantly move which opens up space and makes it easier for the kicker.

You watch when they get the ball 60m out, it’s just a constant swirl of movement which doesn’t allow defenders to get set.

Curnow looks shocked he's being umpired like every other forward in the league

 

[koshari]

Hawks Lead 8·9 57 — Carl 3·6 24
need 32 more points to move up

I hear ya, but our poor % means we'll miss out

 

[Roosurgence]

Yet our defenders defend line that and the maggot campaigners penalise them.

The Hawks cover the ground as well as anyone, it has been the preferred style of play since the Tiger blindsided the comp with 3 flags with a fairly average team.
But they worked very as a team. Plodders days are numbered across the comp.

2 fit on the bench

ginni, smooth as you like.
