Because we all love punishment, I’ve watched Frittagate several times. He was told at least twice to give the ball back problem was, in the first instant the Lions player actually pushed Fritta back to the ground. It was after the second time he handed the ball back.

I thought he did his job well along with May and Lever. Yeah you can always pick out one passage of play but you can lament a play from any given player on the day. Fact is the Lions generated 27 shots at goal from their 42 inside 50 (64%). Extremely high i would have thought. 18 were registered scores with Hipwood and McStay kicking a combined 1.2 and no goal assists.

Honestly thought we were going to win this one in the last 5 minutes. The Burgo effect is real, just a bit more poise needed in pressure cooker situations. Thought our second quarter cost us dearly in the end but I can’t stop thinking about the Hannan to Fritta pass. A bit harsh to single out a moment like that, just wished Hannan slowed down a tad and assess the situation like Jackson did a few moments earlier to set up Melksham for his 3rd. Hibbo was all alone inboard about 60 out and Viney seemed to have a paddock in front of him 30 out. This is just a minor vent. Another what could have been. As much as this stings the boys they have to forget it in a hurry. We will be picking a side in two days. Jackson looks the goods, steady head on him and like his decision making. Lockhart unsighted in the first quarter but thought he was real important as the game went on. I just can’t love Viney enough. His work rate has been off the charts the last 3 weeks.

Clearly The Hoff is saving his best for us next week. He’s been terrible the last fortnight.

Yeah but how good watching fans lose their marbles at decisions. Someone let us in please.

• I really hope we have a thumping win over the Melbourne Football Club. Not a fan of their fans and given we haven't had a big win in a while, hope we do so this week. Saw this earlier in the week. We’re a nice bunch aren’t we? @DemonOX and other fellow ‘landers that attend, make sure you belt out a strong rendition of the song should we win.

Will never forget driving to the footy as a young fella in the late 80s early 90s especially around finals time and seeing a massive Melbourne/Go Demons banner hanging down from the roof of a multilevel storage facility/warehouse on Alexandra Parade near the Smith St intersection. Always excited us young ones.

Going by the report and solitary pic on the Blues’ website we provided the jumpers and Richmond the socks. Like the improvising but not the fact they labelled the team Rich-bourne Bombers.

I’m still curious as to what caused Goody to slam the desk. Maybe it was a result of the Gus handball. Just a guess though. Hawks took it up the other end after that and the ball finished out of bounds with the camera then turning to an unhappy Goody.

Wondering how we got him to QLD, can you fly with a fractured cheekbone or did AVB endure a 1000km trip in a Hertz rental?

Kind of feels like NHL/NBA fixturing. On a plane every second day. Strap in if you love your footy. No bigger challenge than the upcoming month. Really looking forward to it.

Thought that also ht, the next few rounds could be announced later this week according the article. We are just over a week out from Rd 9 and we still don’t know which team we are playing, us fans anyway.

Today according to an online article sons, article also states it could just be Round 9 only due to the complex quarantine measures across the states and territories.

A very happy sounding Melbourne supporter just rang up on SEN talkback and sounded exactly like the podcast’s own in @binman.

Ah yes, the 5 minute Hipwood show.

Just a guess Red....someone told him the last post on the ‘Right Guy’ thread was July 12. In all seriousness, it might have come from I think Gus and Pickett not being clean enough at half forward and the Hawks rebounding for a goal. We were 48 up at the time. It was shortly after that.

Brilliant team effort. The pressure in the first half was off the chart i thought. A quarter of our total tackle count came inside our forward 50. We head to the sunshine state with some confidence now. Can’t wait for next week, Weid building nicely and a date with Andrews ( best full back imo) awaits.

O Mac spoils it clear inside our defensive 50 then runs up and kicks it inside 50 that leads to a goal.

Percentage back over 100

Lol 8 goals up and Goody smashing desks. Love it

Viney continuing some good form. Very steady and strong today.

Phenomenal pressure. Hard work pays off

OMG!!! Wtf Port....

I think I’ve worked out how to beat them. Same game multis seem the go lately so I tried a couple this round. Had Selwood in one on Thursday, pops a hammie early. Tried again in last night’s game and included Caddy and Ziebell. Well well, both pop a hammie early. I’m including all Hawks players today. Go Dees!!
