Jeez, imagine if this 17th placed team with 10 of their best 22 out were like us…enjoying a full fit list including some of the superstars of the game. 

If you were to watch this game without knowing ladder position, you would 100% think the Hawks are #1 and we're #17, and the Hawks haven't put their foot down yet.

Garbage.

 

I wish we had a goal kicking coach!

Any chance Goodwin can start coaching and stop watching replays on an ipad!?

HQ liking this 

I've turned off, its unwatchable, we are not a top 4 team, don't let our ladder position fool you

I hate to say this… but something amazing will have to happen to not make this game a negative.

Bloody lamentable.

WTF is going on? Can anyone take a clean possession and if they do could someone give off cleanly to one of our guys in a position to do something positive? What a fricking mess that quarter was, no system, just a slog. Where are our A graders, Oliver and Tracc to get some system going? 

Free kick hawthorn making a come back. 
Don’t care if we win this tonight …. We cannot be serious about winning many finals this year. We crack under any sign of pressure on the ball. Every team can see this clear as day. 

You've played like garbage but you need forget it, 1 quarter. Get in there and play like it means something for crying out loud.

We will have lost to 15th 16th 17th

 

Ducking idiots

Really disappointed in our leaders tonight, where lacking any composure at all and this is against a wooden spoon contender. 

Stick your tackles and kick goals FFS

And people don’t think we should call Clarkson. The man is a genius. Getting out coached and out played badly. 

The way we play week to week ...

Lets say as a hypothetical we won the flag this year.
I'd back it in we'd drop out've the 8 next year.
They players would decide they'd done enough and slacken right off.

Calling Clarkeson would be a ballsy move but I'd like it.
He wouldn't stand for that sheet.

Can’t blame the umpires here. Hawks are hungrier than us. Winning contested possession. Winning the tackle count. They’re working harder and deserve to be in front.

We should win still, but what a [censored] performance this has been. Coaches need to work out how to motivate the players. The mental fragility still exists.

Showing us up as probable pretenders tonight.  Good teams don't struggle this badly against a bottom two team.

Any chance we can kick to a lead?

No composure. We're playing ourselves into this loss.

I’ve seen losses where we’ve played better than tonight. [Censored] off Melbourne. 

Dream start 

Centre [censored] clearances.

Pathetic clearance work. Absolutely revolting. 

Obvious free kick to Lever.... NO FREE!!

Max Gawn and Tom Michell are a good combination out of the middle
