My appetite for death riding this weekend was quashed. when I saw the hawks outs. I hate the Hawthorn footy club. Hopefully normal service resumes next week and the Swans give Freo a touch up at the SGC.

If we can’t win 16 games given our double ups (thanks for pointing this out @Lucifers Hero) then we can forget about the flag. we’ll finish top 4. Top 2 will depend how we go against the other contenders.

Bollard copped a knee earlier in the game. I think we could argue that was a contributing factor to bollard getting subbed out. And I think it’s legitimate to question why he was on the field at all after that incident.

A perfect example of the really poor decisions we were making. that was a very low percentage shot Trac took on. Squaring to grundy was the obvious option

Spargo lowers his eyes. I reckon he should come back in. It's a tough call but I think chandler should make way.

I muted the commentary in the 2nd quarter. Dunstall was painful to listen to and always barracks for the opposition against us. Dermie is the same when commentating on Dees games. What is it with those ex-Hawks and the Dees. They are definitely biased against us.

The GC mid unit of Witts, Anderson, Rowell and Miller (once he's fit) are a match for anyone. My opinion of the Suns abilities was clouded by the game they coughed up against Freo during gather round. I had serious hate for them after that capitulation. Credit to them they put in a huge shift and very unlucky to lose. If they can maintain this level of performance, they're a chance against most teams. Might even sneak into finals. The initial DL reaction to the win was overly negative, the reaction to the reaction has been give the Suns their due it was a tough win for us, a win is a win etc. I think the balanced view is not a bad as some make out but we were not at our best either. the defensive side of our game is not as reliable as it used to be. and we're crying out for a dominant KPF. Gotta be top of the list of priorities in trade week. The bit that hasn't been mentioned and luckily didn't cost us was we very nearly coughed it up in the last. We kicked 2-6 with Fritsch missing some straightforward shots. Defensively we gifted them some goals to let them back in. Trent Rivers in particular with a howler for their last goal. Our decision making was poor in the last I thought. Obviously fatigue a factor but we played some dumb footy in that last 10 mins I thought. Umps didn't help either of course.

I hate the Hawks. Looks like they'll play Freo into form.

Witts worth a vote surely

Looking on the bright side, we won.

except this game. The Hawks are tanking hard.

Freo's guernsey is an abomination.

Got out of jail big time. The Suns were very good and very unlucky not to win Plenty to work on but we’ll bank the 4 points and move on And Fritschy will never play a worse game than that

lazy frits. get in front of your man

Give the handball to Grundy for the easy goal Trac. use your brain

What a howler from trent rivers. we're doing our best to lose this game

oh bailey. your worst game since 2020

what kind of a handball was that kossie? just a rubbish goal to give away

one more goal should see us home

Geez. thats a harsh free but we'll take it

champion goal

jeez bailey. you really are off your game tonight

Turner has been better the last 20 mins or so

We're in a proper battle here. Effort is there but we've no polish and our forward structure is not functioning. I wouldn't be surprised if King wins it for them.

putrid free kick
