I am most excited for next season to see what Riley will produce with a full pre season under the belt

That was very lazy from Jeremy Howe. You can't give a player as fast as Isaac Smith even a centimetre, let alone a metre or two.

Holding the damn ball. Wtf?!?!

Jetta has not lost a contest today.

Isn't it always holding the ball if you are taken to ground? You don't get to go to ground in a tackle, get up and then handpass the ball.

The rules are fluid depending on what jumper you wear.

Watts hurts em when he tackles! For god sake have a go.

Howe has also been really good - finding consistency

Disagree. He can mark the ball and is a competent third man up, but his defensive pressure leaves a lot to be desired.

Not too bad today really, we have made some errors but all in all we had a crack

Dawes kicks his first goal in 3-4 weeks.

Yep. Aside from Jack Watts, you can't accuse anyone in this team of not giving it their best. Unfortunately we just don't have the talent to take it up to many teams right now.

I know it has been said before but Brererton needs a laryngectomy.

And that ladies and gentlemen is why McDonald isn't a forward haha

Overall they have done well today. Honest but outclassed.

Neville Jetta is just trolling the Hawthorn players now. Just destroys anyone he's assigned to.

Jetta has quickly become one of my favourite players

That was not a mark. Blatant use of hands

Classic schoolyard speccy but should have been a free. Ahwell...

Puopolo's speckie should have been a free to Bernie Vince. Pay it, but that should have been a free.

Jack Watts smiling like he won the Grannie.

How come every time a Hawthorn player gets tackles he's just allowed to drop the ball to the ground.. I reckon I counted about 10 -15 of these today..We need to practice this too. Totally outclassed today, but there are reasonable signs for the future.

50 points was respectable.

Was some good efforts today.

Huge void between where we are as a team and how efficient the Hawks are.

He cops it badly on here, unfairly at times. But he bloody well does himself no favors.

Viv Michie was good today too.

Agree.

Agree! You cant just put your hands on someone's shoulders and hoist.
