Round 21 (Non MFC Games)

Featured Replies

Just normal Hawthorn stuff. ( part of the early training I suspect is the kneedrop, coathanger, professional corkee and elbow slam.)

 

Wow. That is the first time i have viewed that Bump

Hodge, Mitchell, Lewis, Lake - these guys are, at their core, dirty players. Each has a nasty streak, each likes to be overly aggressive. Hiding behind the strength that is their super team (and I'm not criticising their abilities, each is an A-grade superstar), when the team is winning they don't have to be emotional or involved, the win will come. But when they need to fire up to get the team fired up, things like this happen.

Hodge's was an intentional bump to a player's head, in circumstances where he had the time and ability to decide what he wanted to do, and elected to bump. That should be a minimum of 4 weeks on the sidelines, including any so-called 'guilty plea'. This is the kind of act we should be trying to stamp out of the game.

The problem is, Wingard played on. The MRP could well say the impact was 'low'. According to the rules, an intentional bump to a players head, if the impact is low, is worth a 2 week suspension, down to 1 with a guilty plea. Ridiculous.

you forgot to add the penalty loading for it being a second offence in same year

 

GWS losing today should mean they'll be out of finals contention by the time they play us in Round 23.

Could give some meaning to the Round 23 game - with nobody watching or caring, could give us a chance to get a win at Etihad and start 2016 without that ridiculous hoodoo hanging over us.

Agree 100% - I don't like that look of intent on his face. Could have broken Wingard's neck. The highest possible penalty should apply.


Is this round currently ontrack for the highest aggregate margin of all time?

Just ticked over 200 points after 3 games..

So GWS lost by almost 90 points against an understrength Swans team. Couldn't be tanking.

Would be the first time any team had tanked themselves out of the finals contention!

But, I guess they realised that playing us at Etihad was going to end their chances anyway.

They were done last week LG.


Unbelievable the amount of talent that was in the 2 player mini draft - Jack Martin and Jesse Hogan.

Hope the Gold Coast player hasnt broken his neck. Sam Day wasn't it.

Coped a head knock in a marking contest and had the neck brace put on before the stretcher.


Hodge has always been a shocker. He is obviously a good player, but quite a sniper. I've never understood why he is regarded as such a top bloke, particularly by McAvaney et al.

Geez, Saints are bloody impressive. 4 goals in the opening 5 minutes of versus Geelong.

Wowee. They've definitely assembled an impressive young list over the last few drafts.

When they beat Geelong down at Geelong I will be impressed.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
