POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 7

[deelete my account 1,194]

Bernt Bernie Barred from Barrels, takes 10s off the clock and chips it to Salem instead. Was I the only one that thought it was over when I saw he had the ball? Also a very costly non-spoil from Tmac gave Hawthorn the mark and ascendency from a kickout when we were surging. They get the ball in their forward half for thee next 5-10mins.

When will they learn that a one quarter effort isn't going to win them the game?

[Sir Why You Little 36,987]

Pathetic MFC

Whorethorn are a club that plays with us

we fugging Roll over so often to the Brown and Gold. 

I am so glad i did not spend over $100 going to see that embarassment

People will laugh tonorrow

Weak 4 Quarters

F$&@ You

Someone within the club will read this...

[John Crow Batty 8,862]

Adelaide by 88 points next week. 

[titan_uranus 24,978]

Haven't seen the first half but JKH 13 disposals and 0 tackles.

That is surely all she wrote on that front.

[Adzman 2,154]

This side is good enough to play finals...and they won't.

Can't recall a demons team with so much disparity between talent and results.

 

 

[olisik 4,060]

Honestly we play JKH over

Trengove, Kennedy, Stretch, Kent

Who anywhere would think he adds more value then these players?

[—coach— 3,496]

Is it just that we are a shortish side, or that we are not used to taking marks due to the amount of handball we do, we are woeful at taking marks above our head!

[What 18,810]

All four losses should have been wins.  Couldnt even steal one or two of them though. Steal just one we are in the 8.  But no, we blew all 4 games.

. Any other team in our position would be in the top 4, but the MFC just love to throw away games. A team of losers

He's horrible. 

[Radar Detector 1,347]

I usually go overseas about this time of year and get to miss a month and a half of footy. Alas I'll be around all winter to watch the team serve up this rubbish every week.

All I have ever wanted from this team is a consistent level of effort. Don't play well against good teams then fail to show up against crap ones. Don't play two great quarters of footy and two horrible ones in the same game. Just give me effort every week.

The worst teams to follow are the ones you can't trust. I haven't trusted this team for nearly 15 years.

i know the team is improving and the ingredients are there to be a good side. But we never quite seem to make that jump and get that shot of confidence that makes magic happen. We have been a young team for a long time now. That happens when you fail to become a good team. I hope this is the last year where we talk about being a young side.

[Chris 2,892]

A few things. 

[censored] we were bad in the first, but we did work our way back into it.

Some of the missed frees were abysmally but didn't affect the game

Leigh Matthew's is a biased [censored] who is losing relevance by the day. 

BT is an absolute [censored].

Hamish Mc is clearly a Hawks fan as he was livid at one point and could hardly talk. 

I really hope foxtel tell Ch7 to get [censored] in all games and [censored] off theses tosses in the com box. 

Viney was good

Jones got better

Oliver was good

Hogan was good in patches but needs to chase harder (can forgive him at the minute but it needs to change)

[censored] you you mother [censored] arse hole hawks. You can all go and shove you head up each other's arses you bunch of arrogant flogs.

But Saty told me hes really good at pressure acts and stuff.

[Nasher 33,607]

That stings.

[Watts the matter 1,235]

JKH.......how long can this go on, never should have been in the team to begin with.

Bugg not up to it.

Hannan would be OK if he could kick or handball, but he can't.

Thought Viney and Tyson were good.

Would love to see Hogan run and jump at the ball instead of always engaging the body, makes it to easy for the third man in.

Lewis was ok in the end but that non-attempt at  a tackle in the 2nd on Rioli was a disgrace.

Jones started terribly.

Frost was fairly influential in the end but had a shocking start.

We managed to make Tim O'brien look like Nick Riewoldt and played Roughead into form.

Salem poor today, dropped marks and a loopy handball that stood out.

Season done, that's a shame thought I'd get to view some finals but that's over.

Might have to try and follow league for a couple of years....its just too much supporting this club at times.

Leigh Matthews' pro-Hawthorn bias made listening to the coverage nearly impossible. Didn't even try to hide it.

Hamish McLachlan tried to hide it but failed (e.g. when Garlett was joking around with Stratton about kicking three goals he was like "a great response would be to say "that's cute, I have three flags"". 

[Deeoldfart 8,005]

Fantastic second half coaching Goody.  Positional moves at the half, plus a 100% lift in intensity on the field, almost snatched an unlikely victory.  Like everyone reading this, I'm absolutely gutted.  It seems that four quarters too much to ask.

Edited May 7, 2017 by Deeoldfart

[Return to Glory 8,412]

I can pinpoint the moment we screwed it. First quarter, Dom Tyson with no peripheral awareness (streaming into the 50) turns it over. 3 goals to 2 becomes 4 and f'ing 1.

[Pates 9,660]

I missed seeing the first half, that's obviously where we lost it. We won't make finals this year, we're too inconsistent and Gawn is so important to our team. There were so many centre bounces that the Hawks were able to easily break free that just wouldn't happen if we had a recognised ruckman. 

We're going to take a step backwards this year I feel, the core of the side is still young and susceptible to varying levels of intensity. The competition is also very tight so I feel we'll get some good wins along to way but we're going to get some bad (and stupid) losses as well. 

Strangely I don't think I'm angry, more numb. I've seen us going through so many rebuilds and crap times, I really thought this year was going to continue the upward trend. Now I just can't get my hopes up for this year, I'm just going to do what I do every year: ride it out, enjoy the good moments and push myself through the bad ones. 

Hawks had leaders who stood up when needed. Gibson, Hodge, Burgoyne, and Roughead were able to steady the ship when it counted. Viney and Jones were good in the second half, as was Lewis. I can't imagine what a train wreck it must've been in the first half, I'll never know as I won't put myself through seeing it. 

Gutted, numb, sick of this feeling I've had for about 90% of my Melbourne supporting life. 

[Soidee 1,496]

This club once again lets itself down and kiss finals goodbye.  We lose again the ones we should not.  This team is not mature enough.  They will forever be a wannabe team.  They got beaten by a more professional team.  This happens too often and totally gutted.

[Robot Devil 1,895]

I'd like to send a big "[censored] you" to the two shithead Hawks supporters who just lobbed in the Melbourne seating section after 3/4 time. 

I hate all other team supporters but you just sent Hawks to the top of the list. 

[dazzledavey36 54,326]

Who the actual [censored] was on Tim O' Brien? 10 marks and 2 goals. 

[Samael 560]

Lot of parallels with the Dog v Tigers in the game today. Dees had a poor 1st qtr same as dogs, Both down by 30 odd points at half time. Resurgent 3rd Qtr to get level but unlike the dogs the Dees did not bring it home. Can't put my finger on it but we seemed to lose the impetus of the 3rd qtr whereas the dogs kept theirs. That big red head for the Hawks was good in the last but we had all the momentum. We did not respond in the last minute when the hawks had 2 or 3 extras down their backline . On field awareness may have been lacking. 

 

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

So many passengers.  So many pathetic handballs, so many stupid footballers.
