All I remember from this game was number 23, O'Brian I think it is, had no opponent all game as we had no height in the side. Hawthorn kept kicking it to him from behinds and he marked everything that came his way. It was really frustrating. Hopefully with the side we got now we can smash yet another side that has owned us in recent years. I suspect it 2 I'll be a tight game.

Another game where we found ourselves down by 4-5 goals at quarter time.

Hunt’s move to the forward line sparked a comeback with a couple of goals in the second quarter but it ended with the usual heartbreak.

Big in this year

Gawn....  

[Melb-A-Toast 257]

Burgoyne has been good against us. Is he a chance to return? 

[Little Richard 6,265]

I really hope we savage them.

Someone to tag Mitchell?

[Frustrated Demon 244]

Please tell me we are tagging Tom Mitchell. Do opposition coaches not rate him as I’m yet to see a hard tag or is he just that good?

[hells bells 2,023]

Last year it was McEvoy who destroyed us when Maxy was missing.

He wont have it that easy this year.

No he is out with a string for another 3 weeks ??

Clarry head-to-head with Mitchell. Should be worth the price alone.

And Roughead got the first 3 goals by pushing our defenders straight in the back without penalty and then the maggots gave them free kick goals for the slightest touch. 

They also had Burgoyne and we didn't have Max.

But we did have Viney, Red, and Jack Watts. (stirring.....)

Agree, he was plucking marks all over the ground !! [censored] me off immensely. The outside run worries me and sirol usually like to poll his one 3 vote game a year against us. But I still hope we have one of those days where it all clicks and bounces out way and spank these assholes ! Supporters were already talking premierships after round 2 !
