Gotta stop watching Gws games and lamenting the loss of Hogan and Bedford.

Great response from all the team when Tracca ran all the way back to play defender and spoil a certain Hawks goal. You would have thought from the response he kicked the sealer. Wonderful spirit de corps. ( If that's spelled right,). It bodes well for us and we are obviously hungry. Ps Goody got it right again.

Love to see Fritta get a clear and unencumbered run this year with no injuries. Presently second on the Coleman medal on 9. Only one behind Hogan. If we manage 3 goals a game from him it will go along way to helping us to top four again.

Dons are a dirty side too. Hawks. Pies. Always were always will be.

Yep...Night and day. Against the dogs, Bbb was hardly on fire but he got the ball to ground. Kozzie is in great knick this year and looks lethal when goes near the ball.

You are the Rudyard Kipling of Afl sports writing George. Thanks.

Good to see him back to his best. As much as I don't like Sicily I can see why the Hawks fought to keep him in. They would have been beaten by another four goals. And I reckon if the paid even a quarter of the incorrect disposals against both teams the game would have flowed more and we would have scored more. With three talls playing Fritta is at his best. Admittedly Bbb was down, Petty moved back and Jvr in the ruck may have given him more room. Also since the inclusion of more talls, Chandler, Kozzie and Nibbler are kicking more goals. I'm sure the Hawks threw extra numbers around the ball after the first quarter and it became a bit of a bog fest. I'm wondering if Chol has form for using knees and feet out. Was all legit against Maysie but still punishing. He also led with his foot out in the ruck and clipped Jvr on the head. Very dangerous. A touch of Toby G perhaps. I've also thought Hawks are a dirty team and the way they went after Oliver confirmed my beliefs. Anyway, for so very long we have been their bunnies so I'm revelling in the amount of wins we've had over them recently.

Tomlinson in . Both he and Petty play down back if Lever and May are out. Id give Hore a full game so if needs be, we can swing Petty fwd.

Ripping goal.

And so much better for the run thank goodness.

Oliver unfairly targeted. Or at least should have got a few frees.

He was good. His ruck follow up is strong.

No attempt to spoil or mark.

Four weeks for Wright.

Poor Cunningham.

And Maysie. Gee we couldn't have got Petty and Tmac back in on time. And we recruited Hore. Let's hope it's all nothing too bad.

If umps had awarded holding the ball at all against BOTH teams it would have flowed more and I reckon a 75 point win. It's a bittersweet win but it is against Hawthorn. We're second on the footywire ladder.

Petty moved better than expected and lucky he played.

Shame none of them were rewarded.

Snap.

Good thing Petty got a run today.

Tracca has been perfect.

Just call the game over.

Umps keeping Hawks going.
