Looks like we softened the dawks last week.

Watch them come home late, they only had a training run last week against us and they run out games better than any...

Why the new thread?

IT's not a grand final replay unless it's a grand final.

I''m so sick of the absolute fawning about Rioli. Yeah yeah, he's a really good player but so sick of that fat [censored] Taylor gushing about him. Even in the last minute when Rioli didn't take a handball near goals, Taylor was blaming the handball.

For me Mitchell was BOG. An absolute freak. I hate to say it, but Frawley was sensational. Rivers was good last night too. As if MFC can afford to lose those players!!

It was a really good match. Glad Hawthorn lost.

...replay.

Frawley is good defensively but his disposal is shite.

i think the Hawks played well below their best, and wouldn't be all that concerned by the loss,

Luke hodge would have made a difference

Well below their best.....the game was a ripper, came back from six goals down against the Swans. Missed a few missed set shots that's all. Rioli was cm's away from winning it.

only one team this season has won the following week after playing us

"Only Cyril can do that!!!"...after taking a pretty regulation mark one on one in the goal square, and played on and kicked the goal. See that happen in every bloody game.

Good player, but it was all a bit much.

Oh god...have we really turned to taking pride in teams losing the week after they belt us?

They said the same thing we he took a regulation mark about 35 out... "He's a genius!!!".... get your hand off it

and as I recall little or nothing was said at the time about his (certainly uncharacteristic) fumble in front of goal in the dying seconds.

swans were good but ultimately lucky

hawks had plenty of opportunities and blew them with bad (uncharacteristic) kicking for goal

still it shows that even hawthorn lose their composure if you apply enough pressure

maybe man-on-man football has a future as a game plan, especially against sides with more talent
