Found a radio station 3wbc from the match centre.

need a crumber around Gall and campbell

[Brownie 6,011]

This is the most bogan commentary team I've ever heard.

They should be in a tri coloured Commodore commentary car on the hill.

One of the women just said that "hawthorn play some of the funest footy she's seen"

 

[BDA 22,955]

Hawks a little slicker. better i50 delivery as well

[dees189227 12,432]

Feel like we had a lot more of the play. We are still with them. Just need to use the ball better in our 50. 

[george_on_the_outer 7,819]

Gone back to over handballing again. Kick the thing, that is what won us the past couple of games.

[godees 874]

Feel like we are one down in the midfield without Hore. Would love to see them throw Goldie back in there.

[deejammin' 2,374]

The good:

Hanks, Gall, Goldy, Blaithin, McNamara 

The Bad, Hawks in space and bursting from stoppage while we look slow

The ugly: Kelly Underwood hasn’t called a single MFC player correctly. Chaplin was Goldy twice, Hanks was McNamara. FCS. It’s your one job as a commentator! Know the players names and numbers!

[Brownie 6,011]

How can someone stripping the ball out of Hanks hands be an incorrect disposal free kick?

Anyways, mids going ok but our forwards and backs seem to be walking around the packs a little too much.

STOP OVERHANDBALLING 

STOP OVERHANDBALLING 

We win by getting territory and winning the next contest 

Stop going back to what lost us games !!!

most awkward i've seen her under the high ball since her debut

very odd

[biggestred 5,193]

We look tired.

[godees 874]

We have been unlucky so far. Bounce of the ball, few umpiring calls, hawks miskicks falling in their lap etc. But got to keep it close here while hawks feel like they are on top.

Yep and even their dump miss kicks are landing in hawks arms

[george_on_the_outer 7,819]

Any chance Zanker could play in front?

McDonagh can play.

Just added that. I don’t feel like we are out of this at all but they do have the momentum 

[godees 874]

Every stoppage seems too open. Seems to really suit Hawthorn. Bring up an extra and congest/outnumber and I think we will get much more ball forward.

[BDA 22,955]

we're lucky to be only 13 points down

Hawks have more run and moving the ball better. they are better around the ball as well

going to be an uphill battle in the second half. not sure what we can chnage here.

[deejammin' 2,374]

Geez we miss Kate Hore. With Beasley out as well we just don’t have the midfield rotations. Also Fitzy seems to be running with Bates who is just torching her with her gut running. 
That said the call against Zanker in the marking contest was total rubbish. Perfect bodywork in the side, no different to McDonough’s work at the other end. Good to see free kick Hawthorn transcends gender.🙄
Cmon girls! Find a way! 

[Brownie 6,011]

We look absolutely cooked.

What is it about Cairns?

[godees 874]

Such a shame to lose Hore and Chaplin pregame as we just need that extra little bit of depth in this game. We will need to make it a grind and be more efficient in F50 to take the win from here. They will kill us if the r game remains this open.

Also, geez Jas Fleming is quality. Not quite the level of my fave Hanks but very very good.
