Looks like Jones might have a serious leg injury.

Gee the Dorks are great at inflicting damage, buddy has a corky, Jones stuffed, Hodge has already slammed was it Mills into the deck? Why can't teams give some back?

Round 17 already, the season is flying, unless you're Fremantle.

In tonight's game, Bruce is attempting to set a world record in mentioning Rioli's name as many times as possible, although he hasn't had a possession. He did mention Rioli looks "interested" so I suppose that counts for someone.

Rohan kicked a nice goal for the Swans and Bruce felt the need to drop Rioli's name again stating "There's a bit of Rioli in Rohan." You could hear the jealously in his voice. 

Its a 50/50 game at the moment, I'm not sure why but Pannell was a late our for the Hawks.

Yep its anther rioli love fest. Ump not rewarding frees to swans

What horrible commentary.  

BT almost let slip "we need 2 goals to win" and always stating the bleeding ibvious - Swans 6 points up then kick a behind 'now 7 points down'.

Is there a special Hawthorn holding rule? 

Not sure, but there is a special Hawthorn how far you can run with the ball without bouncing.....think its about 25m...

How many games is that now the Hawks have won under 10 points, I think that's 5 now loose all those and they would be outside the 8, rioli kicks a 55 meter goal for the win he has never kicked that far in his life, how the hell does this club keep winning, gives me the shits

I reckon that's the minor premiership for Hawthorn too. 6 games left, they're already 2 clear on top and they have Richmond, Carlton, us and Collingwood to come. Not sure they'll lose any of them, which would mean they'd have to lose the last two (North and West Coast) and someone has to win out over the last 6.

How disgusting.

Hawthorn and the umpires both need investigating

Michael Jordan used to get a VERY favourable ride from referees. He'd just look at them and they'd call a foul.

Sort of like Hawthorn. Everyone loves a winner, including the umpires.

But if I have to hear Bruce and BT commentate one more Hawthorn game, I'll spew.

I hope some bikie gang kneecaps every single Hawthorn player as they get off the team bus at the airport.

That's four wins for them under 10 points. 

For Sydney, it's four losses by 10 points or less. They have a clear issue with winning the close ones, the last three (Richmond, WB, Hawthorn) they've had 2+ goal leads late and blown all of them.

As much as it makes me sick I agree.

They just have to many guys who are match winners and can't be stopped. Also, to have Hodge and Burgoyne just picking off easy touches on the flanks and then go in the guts when need be just shows the ridiculous amount of talent there team has.

They aren't even playing there best footy still imo and are sitting two games clear. Pricks

Hope you're happy AFL, you dumb [censored]! Your stupid expansion project, which has completely ruined all other clubs of young talent they desperately needed  to rebuild lists (which now play out their AFL existence in the NEAFL) has granted Hawthorn the magical ability to stay at the top of the ladder for half a decade without challenge.

Just imagine if the entire lists of GWS and Gold Coast had been divided amongst the clubs who so desperately needed it, instead of having compromised draft after compromised draft, still continuing this year with farcical amounts of first round picks to GWS, none of which they even need with the shape of their list.

But thank Christ those 338 GWS members have satisfied those expansion urges!

I think it's going to be us...maybe we could finish a few of them off pre finals.

That sick-in-the guts feeling of this year sadly being the "Fourthorn" is starting  to feel like "Fivethorn" in 2017.

If that eventuates, it will most certainly be time to 'put the cue in the rack' and start following NRL.........

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
