NON-MFC: Finals Week 01

[Demonsone 2,036]

Hawks remind e of us in 2018 .. well played & young with dare, though jumping into the crowd at end of the game isn’t great…Not sure why the afl rewards interstate teams to play on their home ground but not Vic teams Dogs Marvel home ground which is 50k capacity same as interstate grounds..

I think I want the hawks to beat Port next week only because the hawks are playing more exciting footy.

We are seeing a game style that is yelling at me to forget our fixation with getting a big forward at any cost. It’s about quick, clever ball movement, midfielders with leg speed and smart, quick, small medium sized forwards, with a mobile tall or two to contest in the air. We look a mile off this pace. 

I have to agree with this. All out speed. 
Pity we got rid of Toby Bedford…

Hawthorn are playing exactly like Melbourne in 1987. 
Anyone who hasn’t seen the ‘87 Elimination Final, look it up on YouTube

Watching Hoges tearing the comp apart is the textbook definition of bittersweet.

Hogan again!

[The heart beats true 18,123]

Hogan is the player he should have always been, and it’s a great story.

that goal umpire is a numpthy. always calling for reviews. The ball was no where near touched.

Numpty commentators thought it could’ve been touched twice!

[Little Goffy 14,513]

Ex Demons currently 2 goals 1 behind vs everyone else 4 behinds (and 1 rushed).

Jesus Hogan has been good. I thought his career was nearly done 3-4 years ago.

Costly miss Toby

Peatling knows how to draw a free

Would love to have Hogan back when he is in this type of form. He would fill a major void for us  

Timing is everything I suppose.

Exactly the type of player we need.  He's really found his true self and form.

Could be the reason the Giants win a cup this year 

[BDA 22,737]

lucky free to giants there. The giants player lowered the head when tackled. not sure what the swans player could do in that situation

Papley duck

[BDA 22,737]

i can't believe the umps fell for that

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

This is what you call a final 

[hoodoo breaker 72]

I've been meaning to post this since Round Zero when – like many of you – I was at the SCG in the Supporters' Area. 

I understand there is a service entry immediately behind the goals on the Randwick end of the ground, but why are the away supporters always beside the goals at the Paddington end. Surely an end with an obstruction is better than an inferior view that's not behind the goals? Is there any other ground in the AFL where the away team is not behind one of the goals?

I raise it today as the GWS supporters have been given the  priority spots behind the goals at the Paddington. Surely if it's good enough for the Finals, it should be good enough for the H&A season. 

Thoughts?

Giants looking good

[whatwhat say what 22,731]

bloods are in trouble 

[Demon_spurs 1,846]

For a team that's losing Sydney seem to have a lot to say

[BDA 22,737]

Giants are harder around the ball. Tom Green a beast
