Who’d want to miss that opportunity!
Time to give yourself an uppercut and stop your obsession with me …it’s kinda Baby Reindeer-ish…

Get help

Honest to god Teflon, there must be something else you can do with yourself this evening.

BTW, Battle up forward wasn't good. It was a desperate move. Battle is a really good player, but is at his best down back. As is Sinclair. Do any of you remember Alan Richardson's tendency to move Carlisle forward when things got desperate? That's the sort of situation we were in this afternoon. Ros...

When is this lame pathetic shyte playing group going to show up from 1st bounce???

Must be the coach.

Coaches did well today Swung battle forward , Wood forward, Payton into middle all good moves We have the weakest , dumbest players in the comp THE worst midfield- nit by a little but a long way 12 years of recruiting HBF/HFF crap like Billing’s and co has set us back 10 years Sorry, mate. This sor...

Standard Ross Lyon football. It takes until the last quarter to decide to try to win the game rather than to try to purely negate the opposition. Bassett needs to make a hard call. Give him till the end of the season to change his anti-football approach and if he won't or can't then fire him tomorr...

I think the best description of how we are going was made by our current President some time back: "it's not a linear progression."

This is incredibly sad from my POV. I'm old and I want to see us get better.

WTF was that by Wanganeen-Milera?

Can someone remind me what was wrong with Ratten’s style of coaching?

It must have been worse that what we’re seeing today but I can’t remember why.

Another push in the back on the player trying to mark the ball.

One thing I've noticed today is that it appears that you are now allowed to push your opponent in the back when they are attempting to mark the ball. The Hawks benefited from this "new rule" several times and we also did once or twice.

I think we can do a lot better in the remaining three quarters. But we're definitely struggling.

Well done Bonner and Membrey

Watson is cutting us to pieces.

We're in trouble.

If our game is about moving the ball forward quickly, then the Hawks are much better at it than us.

Whatever our game plan is, it isn't working so far. But Marshall has been terrific.

Paton

And then we get the fluke bounce of the year and goal.

Not a great start. We don't seem to be able to get into our 50, and then Mason makes a rare error and gifts them a goal.

We should have this covered.

Melbourne bloke is lucky he didn’t get a fine for staging.

You've said it more succinctly than me. I'm not certain that there was any contact at all.

Still a stupid act by Newman: it could easily have all gone horribly wrong.

I don’t get it. What could you hope to get from Paton late in the game other than for him to come on and possibly blanket a staring Hawk mid. I’d have had him top 22 or nothing Spot on. The only sense I can make of it is that perhaps the club doesn't feel that Paton is quite ready to run out a full...
