Good to see Nichols umpiring this game,let's hope Razor is also busy elsewhere besides the G on Sunday night.

No Razor sunday night. We have got that ump that short changed the saints last week. 

But what a good game so far. Eddie Betts just on fire and cannot believe Tex Walker was just standing alone in the forward line and took the simple mark. 

Great to see Kyle still getting a game. He is just a battler who does his job and keeps his spot.

That umpire that gave the super soft free to the dorks is not a required umpire. Back to the EDFL for him (or perhaps somewhere further east maybe Cann River)

Great game of footy at the moment.

Am I the only one that doesn't rate Ling as a commentator?  Feel like he is ALWAYS talking, sometimes during important moments that Dennis or Bruce should actually be commentating on, and most of it is drivel.

Your probably right. However there's so many poor commentators around at the moment, he doesn't bother me to much compared to others.

Fing Hawks, they know how to put the squeeze on. Good game.

[jules7 792]

Awesome game!

The sling tackle is very much back in vogue, last week against us the pies were all over it and tonight the Hawks have got away with a few. 

Must be ok unless you concuss someone.

He isn't as bad as some, true, but I find myself yelling at the screen for him to shut up more often that I'd like.  It seems after every passage of play he is pontificating about anything that comes into his head.

When he was with us I swear the surname was pronounced differently. The first e wasn't pronounced as a long vowel, or was that just me?

Just you. He was "Fetta" Cheney at the Dees, "Bocca" at the Hawks. 

Not sure what the Crows are running with. 

Brilliant game and by the way.

Same ump got upset last week and gave a 50 because a player disagreed with his decision....very soft.

At least we don't have him this week either.

[Deestroy All 14,264]

Cicily should play for North. 

[Ted Lasso 19,507]

Rory Sloane is right up there with the best mids in the comp for mine, an absolute jet on the inside and out.

I'm enjoying this game but not looking forward to us playing either of these 2 teams.

[daisycutter 29,613]

cracking first half but got a bit sloppy in third

[Ethan Tremblay 30,856]

Umpire 15 has to be the worst umpire going around.

[Kiss of Death 755]

Funny how the poo and pee coloured team seems to get a good go with the umpires late in close games...

[Seraph 1,824]

Umpires have absolutely handed this game to Hawthorn. 

As is tradition. 

[censored] the AFL sometimes. 

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Wee and poo. Protected species by umpires.

HE WAS HOLDING THE [censored] BALL YOU CORRUPT CHEATING MAGGOTS!!! [censored] OFF!!!

[rjay 24,917]

Nice bounce ump...

[Deestroy All 14,264]

Well done umpires. 

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Adelaide robbed.  That free against Tex for front on contact when he had it running into open goal cost them the game 

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

Hawks could be 2 and 3 if the umpiring was fair.

 

one of the most clear cut holding the balls just before the siren you would ever see.

[Chris 2,892]

Right at the end the hawks player got possesion, looked for the Adelaode players and went into them to get tackled to take up time, then dropped it. Should have been a free!
