If we get in a close game in Adelaide the umpiring becomes stacked against us at the finish as happened in 2018 against Port and in 2021 against Crows. 

And 2023 against Port. 10 frees to 2 in last quarter of close game.

Ok so Butler concussed Blakey who not only missed a critical part of last night but misses a game next week as well. 1.5 games in total. Medium impact.

Hunter makes contact with Rozee, who gets up like a Jack rabbit, kicks the winning goal and then goes on to have 27 touches the following week against Richmond. Medium impact.

Exhibit A - victim is concussed. Misses remainder of game and a season “in balance” game next week against Brisbane. Medium impact.

Exhibit B - Victim is the second most influential player on the ground after the incident and then goes on to have another near BOG performance the following week. Medium impact.

How’s that for consistency from the MRP.

Blakey was not concussed. He passed all the tests. They subbed him out because a a toe issue he took into the game. From the Horse's mouth

Hawks going for 4 in a row against the Lions, would be lovely if it happens.

Hawks playing very well. doubt they can keep this going for 4 quarters. They have typically tired and fell away in the 3rd quarter of games against good teams this season.

Although they came good in the third quarter against us, and out scored Port in the last half last week. Cause for optimism 

Hawks have kicked 4 in a row taken the lead with 5 mins to go in Q3

 

Hawks doing a number on the Lions. Ask Kingy whether they are now promoted to Div 1.

I hate to say it, but Mitchell has the young Hawks playing a really good style of footy. Fast, exciting and daring. Having said that, the Lions' weaknesses are on full display - lack of defensive run from the midfield, a defensive network that cannot manage fast ball movement, and little physical presence. 

Carn the hawks. 
 

Please keep taking the game on.

Be a great win for them and for us if the Hawks can go on with it.

People seem to think that because Melbourne has some weaknesses, we can’t possibly win the premiership. All teams have weaknesses – look at Brisbane now! Even if they get up to win it, they have still been put to the sword by an inferior team.

You can’t take any game for granted. 

Sicily in trouble or football incident?

McC was rooted.

They got us in the finals last year but The Lions really don't like the MCG.

Hawks might have this

Collingwood, Port & Melbourne are the only 3 teams than win the chip this year.

you simply can’t win a GF with Daniher & Hipwood as your key forwards.

I think he’s gone 3-4. That was nasty.

Not if Daniher keeps trying to take speckys in the ruck.

I’m not so sure, to me it looked like the second Hawthorn player that got tangled up in that contest caused  that violent ending to the tackle.
