No news about Magner yet.

Sewell linging up for the first goal of the 2nd quarter

and he goals Hawthorn 7. 2. 44 MFC 2. 3 15

Hodge falls over gets gifted another (he would've kicked it anyway but still).

This is why I hate Hawthorn - they cheat when they don't have to cos they're good enough already. It's only pre-season so I don't really care but if this was the real thing I would be going ape droppings.

Meanwhile Davey misses an absolute sitter.

Hodge goals

I'm calling it this is cooked I've lost interest now.

Davey worse miss

Inaccuracy is killing us. Missing vital goals

We should put Trengove on Hodge and just tell him to follow him around the park. Get something out of this game and tell Trengove "this is how we want you to play".

What a team man Colin Sylvia is.

Slyvia stupid play

Watts a good mark and goal, good body work

Cant stop hale, hawks with buddyand roughy will be hard to stop

Well at least we know we still have lots of work ahead of us.

A bit of a reality check after a win against a bunch of boys last week. We are a million miles away from being anything

Yeah, that's good to know. I had us pinned for the flag until this.

Any judgement you make on the pre-season cup is premature. Whether it's outrageous or something semi-reasonable, if your basis is any pre-season match, it's wrong.

The Hawks kicking skills are just awesome. I don't understand how we can't find players that are as hard as the Hawks' players are, yet can still kick the ball accurately over long distances.

We only play this lot once in the H/W season. Just a good learning curve, they will be fine once the real stuff starts.

A Mod on a power trip..... now there's something new.

Aren't we allowed any opinions anymore?

This team of absolute [censored], have had the wood over us for years. Not just because they are supremely talented, but also because they treat us with such contempt and we let them. They know they can throw us around and take the [censored] and they do.

All I want in the second half is to see us stand up and dish out some tough treatment. Not stupid punches to the head like Sylvia's heroic moment, but really hurt them in tackles, and make them realise that we aren't their [censored].

For now they are miles better than us, and maybe that will never change, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't expect to leave the ground sore and bruised. If we turn this into a hard slog, as opposed to an easy victory, I'll be happy.

And all the sweeter when we beat them. Remember Geelong had it all over the Hawks until the game that really matters.
