Absolute cracker of a game, always going to be line ball umpiring calls in games like that, feel for the crows they played a ripper and deserved a win

Now watch the umpires boss come out and say the Isaac Smith holding the ball in the final seconds should have been paid.

Looking forward to the reaction when a tough decision goes the Hawks way in the dying seconds of the GF with them down by 5 points.

Jesus.

Gotta feel for the Crows.

God I hate Hawthorn.

But god they're good.

The only reason this team is even winning games this year is blatant umpire favouritism at the exact moments that determine how a game ends. [censored] BS.

I'm absolutely tired of Hawthorn. Smith was clearly holding the ball.

What a corrupt sort we follow lol

Go Hawks!

Breust on Fox: "Yeah, 3 point wins across 3 weeks. Don't know how the boys keep doing it."

Referring to the umpires no doubt, giving every clutch free kick they can possibly dream up in the last quarter.

The umps were letting holding the ball decisions go all night and what's happened to the 15 metre kick rule?

Shame the umpires choose the winner. Two in a row for the Hawks. 

How's the pretend handball by Smith!?

What a brilliant game. A few dodgy frees but geez as a person who supports neither of these teams it was just brilliant footy. 

I'd be filthy if I barracked for the crows.  On the wrong end of 2 50:50 decisions with a minute to go cost them the game.  They were bloody good though.  They look top 4 material.

Just when you think the enjoyment of the game is moving forward the umpires step in and put a halt on it.

[censored] insipid how that did not pay holding the ball. [censored] need to wake up to themselves and learn to properly umpire the game. 

Two games the hawks have been gifted wins. Watch the media and commentators come out and say what a great job the umpiring has been so far.

It would be nice to see the Crows get their revenge against the Hawks during the finals,that is if we're not in it.

Wow.

This FWT commentator just says it was probably holding the ball but it would have been a bad way for the game to end!

 

HTF did the Hawks get their last goal you dumb prat?

Interested to hear both coaches responses to questions about decisions in the final few minutes

What about the mark to Lynch?

What about the holding the ball against Cheney when he and a Hawks player were both holding it?

fair and unbiased.

I hope you don't mean a reaction from anyone commentating the game on 7 or radio moon. They have all no doubt been muzzled and asked to stay hush as part of their broadcast contract.

The only time anyone said anything Indirectly about the umps tonight was Carey when he mentioned Gunston being within 10 meters of an Adelaide shot at goal after a mark against Cyril. Cant remember who was having the shot. Copped a slight corkie from Cyril as he marked.

And Sloan being clearly held off the ball In the Hawks forward flank during a boundary throw In (just before Mitchell kicked It to Puopolo for the free that won them the game...which was probably there).

Hawks are a very protected species and almost have an extra man on the field every match.

Makes them super hard to defeat. Not only are they super drillled and skilled but  they can also pretty much do a number of things many others can't. Throws, scoops, Incorrect disposals, setting their own marks, creaping over the mark. I hope we are learning all of this as well!
