Why isn't it umpire descent by Battle? Screaming swear word at the umpire after a clear free kick.

And expected score

Watching the hawks whenever they get tackled.  Their head jerks back 

cheating nuggets

Spell checker.  I meant baaaarstasrds

[ANG13 2,110]

Loving Fox not calling Nick Watson the wizard every time he is near the football. 

[GS_1905 337]

Neither of these forward lines are drastically better or worse than ours. Just goes to show it’s not as  important to have superstars in your forward line.

Hawthorn will smoke us unfortunately.

Yes it is very depressing that they have bounced back so quickly…

[GBDee 388]

Hmm. There was me thinking Hawthorn would slide.

They play an exciting game. However, Sydney are deplorable defensively. There is no way we give them this much space. Maybe we get burnt on turnover here and there but this game is heavily on the outside so you cannot compare.
 

If we try to play this game style , like Sydney are , yes we will get toast. But this is not our game style so I’d just hold your horses. Remember Port beat them in finals last year when the Hawks were hot. Port play a similar style of footy as the Dees.

Loving 4k on Kayo too

[DubDee 26,670]

So good to not have to listen to BT Darce and the rest of those tools

Fox just talk footy

Every year, people jump to conclusions based on results in the first round of the (long) season.

Making a call before half-time of the first and only game to be played is taking it to a new level.

Meek will go close to AA. 

Little known secret - Max started mentoring him last year just when Meek started dominating games. 

Our GOAT

On another note, hawthorn will absolutely slice us up...and most teams tbh if they play like this. Fast, creative, tough, so skilful and then the 3 big rock interceptors. I was hoping they'd slide back to reality but right now they look like they've gone to another level entirely 

Sydney on the other hand seem significantly weaker than last year. No Errol makes a huge difference.

…we haven’t even played a game yet and they’re currently getting dominated in this Q3.

There’ll only be one Wiz mate

I hate how Watson got this nickname before he played a game

Did you hate how Jeff Farmer got the nickname before he played a game?

I didn’t know that. Thought he got the nickname after he establishing himself

How did he get his nickname?

A recruiter (might have been ours) saw him play and reported that "This kid is a wizard".  The name stuck.
