how was that a free against Fritsch

Why do we persist with McDonald.

Port playing a bit dirty.

We've got Daniher era vibes about us atm, especially 2004, 2005. Beat up on [censored] teams. Get absolutely owned by decent teams.

Mark No.8 inside 50.

Mark No.7 inside 50. Game already has that stench.

Pretty concerning how we have played against top 8 contenders this year. they beat us the same way every time. Quick movement through corridor off turnover. Numbers in F50. A healthy Richmond doesn't get run over. Lots of time to turn it around but we've just consistently struggled against top 8 teams since Round 11 2021.

6 marks inside 50 and they were all completely uncontested and in paddocks. We're very lucky it started raining when it did.

lol Horne Francis. Threw his head back before he was even tackled.

lol another mark inside 50. Essendon game all over again.

Langdon having an average year.

Worst holding the ball of the year, that.

lol it is not. Port ain't bad.

Yes, 3x 6-day breaks, but it comes off like 3x 10-day breaks. Across a 42-day window from Round June 2 - July 14, we play 6 games. That's an average 7-day break between games. People need to calm down. Saints also come off a 6-day break from Perth. Brisbane a 6-day break when they play us. What I love is 3x Sunday games at 3:20pm. Quickly becoming my favourite timeslot.

Wonder what they're saying at Alberton...

Non-Specific Royal Monarch Obligatory Celebration of Birth Day.

Not against the idea.

Saints coming crashing back down to Earth where they belong. Play a half decent attacking team and they struggle. Lyon in for a ride awakening. Hate to say it but hope both Pies and Dees keep winning. 90k+ definitely on the cards for King's Birthday if we're still 1st and 2nd.

If Hibberd stays fit, then him, Lever and May is a sufficient backline alongside McVee, Rivers, Bowey, and eventually Salem.

He gets easy possessions and lets teams waltz it down the wing. He is unaccountable. Badly needs to improve his defensive game.

I think a lot of people are missing something about games like today. Watching it very close to ground level in AFL Members, the Hawks pressure and spread in the second half was intense. We still won by 10 goals. In literally any other decade, a 10+ goal win is a "belting". We belted Hawthorn today. They gave it their all. At their best, we are still a 10 goal better team. Which is as it should be between top 4 and bottom 4. No one team at their best is 100 points better than any other team at their best. It's an anomaly. If people think a 10 goal win is "uninspiring", then I'm scared for the league for when we are 100% switched on. I have two key take aways from today and they're not even team based, they're player based: 1. Hibberd oozes professional and football smarts. He and May in the same backline is key to us winning a flag. Lever, Rivers, soon Salem, McVee, Bowey are all intercept and zone players. Hibberd and May are our 1-on-1 lockdown defenders. It's so good having Hibberd back and playing well. The definition of "experience down back". 2. Langdon is beyond simply being "down on form". I watched him closely today. He is unaccountable, points fingers a lot, avoids tackles.. teams are targeting his space and exploiting it. He is a liability against good teams. Going to be a very interesting month for him to see how he performs.

"Professional Finger Pointer"

Another 10 goal win game against a team that absolutely bashes us into the ground. Teams are absolutely throwing everything at us and we're still winning by 10 goals. It looks uninspiring but these are hard fought wins Now to do it against decent oppositon. Freo, Port, Carlton, Collingwood to come.

Lucky to have been outscored by 10. Thank [censored] for Rivers, May, Lever, Hunter, Judd and Jordon in the latter half of that quarter

Hawks are doing their best to keep this under 100 points. 10+ goal win today would be good.
