I wonder if the Hawthorn board will hold their nerve with Sam Mitchell if they keep getting pummelled like this. 

The whole footy department would have surely made the choice to cull the list right back, perhaps with the backing of the board, so they have to back him for a few season’s at least.  Gonna test their resolve at times though. 

The umpire mics is interesting.  Siren and ball going out is simultaneous, and the umpires very, very quickly call its game over.  They have no doubt.

Time clock went to zero before ball went out. Fair result as siren was sounded well after.

Hmm, interesting point.  Lots of controversy which will hopefully distract Freo and lead to more losses 😂

Siren clearly went after the ball went out. I would be furious if that was us. 

We heard it in that order.  The umpires don’t appear to of heard it that way though. It’s going to get talked about plenty so we’ll see if it becomes any clearer in the next few days.

It was “paid” but deemed after siren which it wasn’t. 

Sound is a funny thing.  All comes down to when the umpires heard the siren in their position.

What a finish.  Enjoy Freo supporters lol

Doggies currently 18th 😂😂😂😂

LDU very quickly becoming a Top 10 player in the league.  Bring it home North ( can’t believe I’m saying that…)

Jake Lever is the early leader after Round 2.

26. Jake Lever
 

Well deserved.

Think other posters have said that they have an easy start but tough draw overall. So if they don’t get runs on the board early they might be in trouble. 👏

Yeah.  If they’re going to play really badly, now when they are playing lesser teams that are still full of early season energy and optimism is a great time.

Gosh if that commentator barracks any harder for the Dogs he'll blow a woofer valve.

2 solid intercept marks at HB by JVR

JVR has been in the ruck most the quarter I think. He may be the only option, not sure, or it could be his audition for next week.

Where’s Shache?

Was about to ask that?  Copped a knee in the head late in Q3 so hopefully not concussed.

Dunstan gets a lot of it but his kicking is terrible as soon as any pressure is applied to him. Would rather someone else replace Harmes against Swans

Both Schache and JVR look confident and getting plenty of touches. Howes as well

Big Bell the ruckman looks like he's worth keeping an eye on

I agree. I haven’t seen anything from Dunstan at VFL or AFL since he’s been a Demon to suggest he is anymore than a good VFL player any more. I’d be getting games into Laurie, JJ, Taj (when fit), and maybe Howes, D. Smith and Moniz before recalling Dunstan.

Seaton has a bit of Luke Tapscott about him

Every time I see him I automatically think Allen Jakovich. 

Love red time goals

Anyone know where Verrell and the other young ruck is?  And is a disco out there?

Sounds like the commentary is coming from a bathroom. 

Great to see several players putting their hands up and keeping pressure on the seniors. 

Has JJ significantly bulked up this year or is it just the online vision being a little distorted?

For every goal we kick, they need to kick 1.5+ goals for the recommencement to benefit them more than us.

I love when Fox crosses to Alistair Lynx.  Always sounds heavily inebriated.  Not sure if that’s just the way he speaks now, but it always makes we smile.

Away team get the win yeah?

Well my prediction proved a little enthusiastic 😂

Mine too 😩😩

I haven’t given up this game. 

Me either.  Our scope for improvement in immense if the coaches and leaders can get them properly aroused.  

We’ve done exactly what we needed to do this quarter without actually finding any real form.  So much room for improvement.
