Media expecting 1-2 match ban for Darcy

harsh

Especially for a fair dinkum footy act.

 I mean let's be consistent at least.

Is Maynard one of the league's players most hated players?

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,071]

I tipped Sydney and Adelaide to both finish top 2 before the season started.

Not sure if i’m looking like a genius or a fool.

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

Got a feeling the Eagles have a big late out and will be poor against the Saints. Just our luck they had one of their strongest sides and absolutely set them selves for us.

Tim Kelly out hurts them. Have a feeling too that the Saints will get a rare win.

I’m still scratching my head as to why West Coast looked like a comprehensively better side that day than us. If you were new to the game you’d assume West Coast were a top 4 team and Melbourne were a bottom 4. The loss of Lever hurt but you can’t just blame it all on that.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

The game won't be saved by the change of interpretation to the HTB rule.

Reckon i just watched three throws in a row and at least two incorrect disposals completely ignored by the same ump within about 5 contests.

He put this whistle to his mouth about twice but no courage to pay the correct decision and just threw his hands up instead to play on.

This was all with line of sight right in front of him no excuses.

The horror show circus continues!

Are Adelaide crook, they look hopeless. 

[DubDee 26,191]

Wow the Hawks are impressive. Missing a few too

aside from that choke against Port they’d be 5 on the trot and looking at finals

 

[Brownie 6,025]

What was the go with Ginnivans team mate after he kicked the goal at the end of the 3rd. Got right in his grill and shoved and pushed him about 4 times

Waterman out

Glad we got Hawthorn out of the way early.

Strange cats those Crows

[Demonsone 2,050]

Please tell me how a bottom team like hawks find a way to find fwds vs our Achilles heel since winning the flag

their forward line is built around ground level smalls providing ground pressure - moore, ginnivan - plus an aging breust and gunston, and a spare parts option in chol

they've got a gun father-son in dear for the future tho

really, the best tall forwards come out of the first round, academy, or father-son selections

[Maldonboy38 6,406]

I like the Crows list, their best players are very good, and I keep on expecting them to "emerge". Enough is enough. I am not a fan of coach sacking but Nicks has had 5 seasons, and they simply cannot play 4 quarters of decent footy, and too often play slack, boring, risk-free footy. 

The young Hawks are the opposite. I love the way they are playing. Their young, no-name players are playing with hunger and aggression.

didn't nicks get a new deal at the start of the season? their form away from the adelaide oval and without tex is a massive issue for his job security

their forward structure is really missing thilthorpe

Was it the same teammate he badly burnt earlier in that same quarter? Ginnivan ignored him on his own in the goal-square and missed the shot.

It was Day. Nothing happened between them in that last bit of play, so you could be right, it may have been something that happened earlier in the quarter. Perhaps Ginnivan made some sort of snarky comment as they were leaving the ground.

Regardless of what happened, it’s never good to see animosity between teammates. Take that sch!tt to the rooms.

they have the same fwds as when they won flags in Gunston and Bruest. Or do you mean Moore and Ginnivan? hardly reliable scoring small fwds

[dees189227 12,441]

Why couldn't waterman & Kelly been late outs against us? I bet west coast don't perform like that again for the rest of the season.

Ginnivan didn't have time to comment, as soon as the team mates got around him, Day busted through, gave him a mouthful and some really big shoves.

Yep, it was Day who got burnt earlier, but it was not a good look at all. Quite surreal to see a team mate so angry like that.

Yeah, when I saw the first couple of shoves I thought Day was celebrating in a ‘macho, blokey’ kind of a way, but as it continued, it certainly did, as you say, seem very surreal.
