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? 

 

Suck that Gunston

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'. 


Those 2 goals from 50m very helpful Hawks

Hawthorn gifted yet another close one.

 

4 wins under a goal this year to the Hawks. Really starting to wonder about that umpiring.


Might as well engrave the cup now. 

Hawthorn 2 games clear on top of the ladder is sickening.

I'm just hoping that, with all the close wins, it's a false dawn and they get found out in September. I doubt it, though.

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 

Hawthorn will win the premiership again this year and I can't stand it.


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.........

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
