I won't be seeing any of this live: I'll be driving home.
Enjoy!
Kudos to Teague.
Our starts were an issue early on. He's turned that around now and i reckon we jump out of the blocks as good as anyone now.
First goal on the board, lets add a few more in succcession.
Total domination early.
3.1 to nada.
My boy Newnes gets on the scoreboard again.
4.1 to nothing.
70%+ of the ball in our forward half.
Doing as we please.....keep the foot on the throat and put it beyond doubt at quarter time! >:D
Newnes goes bang and kicks his 2nd, off the ground, from the pocket. We can't miss.
Willo got crunched. Appears to be ok.
Hawks have 7 premiership players out there.
We have none.
Day kicks hawks first after some shepharding on the ruck, standing 1m behind the guy on the mark. Thought that was illegal, but who knows.
9 free kicks given so far. 8 of them.......to us! :o
Full credit to Moore and hid first quarter. Having a real crack!!
Setterfield is continuing where he left off and Cripps 11 disposals that quarter.
Hawks have all the play in the 2nd so far.
We finally get our hands on it and bang it inside to Casboult who kicks truly (just).
Getting goals when we don't have momentum is REALLY what we need to improve as a club.
We are good when we are on a run, but seem to struggle wrestling it back from the opposition. Good to see improvement in this area.
Hawks on top now.
Slowly failing apart
F#$k Murphy is such a hack. Softest effort on the wing and then the turn over. Just screw off from this club.
I don’t get this - Farking pathetic
30 is the magic number where we seem to take the foot off the throat.
Why do they like to make it so hard for themselves.
The mid field of this club is a joke! Cripps is now a panic merchant. Docherty can't kick or mark to save himself. Just piss off the lot of them...
Cripps having back to back brain fades has allowed the Hawks to take the lead.
Cripps cannot kick 50m. Everyone knows it. Why try? Why pretend to try?
Know your weakness Cripps, dish it off. Eddie was right to give him a bake for the second one, albeit not a good look.
We are Clarkson b1tches. He did exactly the same to us last year. Waits for us to show our hand then shuts us down completely.
Nice while it lasted, nighty night.

You know what i like about you spanner, your positivity knows no bounds.
Red time king's. screwin joke
Yep, Mitchells possessions dont hurt.
This club can get screwed
I think we thought half time siren blew about 4 minutes ago.
What have they kicked in that time, 4 goals?
Wtf happened there?
I am so damn SICK AND TIRED of our senior players turning the Farking ball over under ZERO pressure! Yes Docherty, again, repeat offender! Murphy, again! jones, again! Cripps Farking stupid Attempt for Goal - give it off mate, you’re playing in a team!
Well, we've had our quarter off and its only 13 points. Get back on it in the 2nd half
Got out to a five goal lead, we just cant put teams away. That defining game aint happening tonight kids.

You going for back to back weeks?
Ain't over yet sunshine.

That was embarassing.
Our mids don't man up, Hawks on their own and our blokes just miles away.. Lucky we are not down by more..
wtf happened there how can we be so good then so bad
Same old, same old. Apply real pressure and we fold... easily the most psychologically soft side in the AFL. And it starts with the leaders making appalling mistakes (Murphy!)... then the wheels just fall off.
We've played two really down and sides in the past two weeks and made them look good.
We have a long, long way to go.
Allowing 6 unanswered goals from a poor, out-of-form side is an indictment and shows just how undisciplined and soft we are. No sustained tenacity... just incapable.
A tale of two quarters to say the least. They are now killing us out of the stoppages and their skills are blowing us away. First need to get the clamps on them in.the 3q.
Midfield showed up big time in that quarter. Hard to find a player who used it well and coupled with no accountability any wonder they run all over us.
The good news.
1. We can't play any worse than the 2nd quarter.
2. Our forwards are dominating.....they just didn't get a chance in the 2nd.
3. its a 2-goal game with plenty to play.
4. Teague is good at getting his boys to reset and go back to the basics which got us up in the first place.

there’s no good news, goalless qtr, surrendered a 5 goal lead without even a yelp. We are Clarkos (and now Boltons) bitches.
Curnow was missing from the centre that second quarter, he was really good in the first and got us out of the centre multiple times. he MUST lift. Jones can leave now, Cripps has had his brain removed, as has Murphy, >:( >:D
I said this pre game.
This game will tell us heaps about where we are placed- even more now considering the start. Biggest test for Teague too.
We should still win this if we have improved from last year. Big 2 quarters coming up.
It's all my fault. Every time I watch them live they turn to crap. I have stopped watching it, otherwise i going to blow a fuffer value.
Hawks definitely have their tail up. Somehow we need to find a sharp stick and poke it right up their ass. Have to get back on top at the stoppages.
We look dangerous when the ball comes inside 50.
Levi goals.
We just need to work out how to transition between half back and half forward. Thats where we are falling down.
OK, the umpire calls 'throw it in'.....i saw the action.
I turn around for a second, and apparantly its now deliberate? What the hell just happened?
Of course they get a goal out of it.
I'm officially off SPS
One of the few times I've considered questioning Teague along with the half arsed efforts of a few players. We will not win this
I'm officially off SPS
He's been very average lately.
Lost his feet there which leads to a goal. ::)
You know what i like about you spanner, your positivity knows no bounds.
Kruddler, I'll be positive when this sh*# stain of a club gives me something to be positive about.
Good night, nurse.
What an horrendous disappointment. Beaten by an ordinary side who simply applied pressure and we p1ssed our pants.
Here comes the blowout, and us really exposed as pretenders. The only thing that has kept us going is individual talent. No collective leadership, discipline or sustained ferocity. Very poor, BlueBaggers... very poor.
Is Walsh out there
Pittonet gone off after a whack to the face.
Now Levi is being asked to do some ruckwork, that ruins our forward line and limits our ability to come back.
Why isn't Moore in the ruck?? Thats why we've picked him. If you don't put him there, why pick him? Play TDK instead.
Bring on West Coast

Did i just hear Nick Riewoldt and Huddo basically say this word for word? lol
5 minutes later they realise. Thanks Sandra ::)
Since half way through the 1st qtr, 2-2, to 9-4. Weak as...
Is there anyone capable of injecting sustained, disciplined tenacity into this group of individuals?
We're in familiar territory now, behind and looking for an honourable loss!
When people say send Cripps fwd, thats why I laugh.

He saved his best forward work for the Rampage
What a joke. Season over right here.
Cripps has been down all year... just no confidence, lost his mongrel. But he is nice.
Such a frustrating season. Can't seem to get out of our own way.
Well beaten by an ageing Hawthorn side, it really tells you where we are at right at the minute.
Even a big last quarter comeback will see them win, and we had a five-goal lead at one stage.
There's not a player at this club that can harness the clutch moment. We have a team of soft c*%ks headed by the champion Marc Murphy and now Cripps who craps the bed when ever he's in front of goal.
Cripps has been reading too many articles on himself and has lost that hunger for the contest and is now a nothing player who stages for frees the whole game.
So many high draft pick yet so many hacks... This club is the epitome of a joke...
Needed a captain's goal from Cripps badly there and he didn't deliver.
Q4 moves.
1. Betts + Martin running in bursts through the middle. They are the only 2 that look dangerous around the ball.
2. Moore into the ruck, leave Levi forward.
3. SPS out of half back and up on the wing, if not more forward than that. Too panicky down back, could use his foot skills going inside 50.
4. Cripps to play behind the ball. Use his height and nous to intercept the ball and stop the rot.
5. Murphy deep forward. If you are barely going to touch it, make them count....and he can do that deep.
Do that and it will throw off all the Hawks plans, and allow us to get a few quick ones. Once that happens, its game on, and we have the momentum.
Gee theres been a few blokes who I reckon havent touched the footy since qtr time
Disgusting
Still think making an offer to Gunston is worthwhile, and with Papley or another like player and another seasoned mid, we can provide a consistent effort. Newman offered us a hardness and consistency we are missing, I think it is time to push SPS into the midfield and see what he can provide.

Gee if theyre ordinary, how bad are we. Outplayed and out coached for 2.5 qtrs

time to push SPS out the door
Suppose this is part of the crap we have to put up with as we develop but gee it's frustrating.
Walsh is well in front of Settlefield and Cunningham. Time to bring in some new blood....
....and we're back
Brain fade #3 from cripps.
Give. It. Off.
screwing Murphy's crapness knows no bounds
Martin got pinged for a throw for a handball.
Breust literally throws it into the path of a teammate and gets a goal out of it.
Bubble burst, season over
Free kick Hawthorn... Or Clarkson will whinge ...
Sorry mate thats a rubbish comment
this is just crape
Knew with their inclusions they would be too strong. Clarkson again is just too smart an operator for us. We are their bunnies.
Did I read right that the club signed Plowman for a further 3 years? That's the precisely the reason we're a joke. Who in their right mind would do that?
This is incredibly embarrassing. I am absolutely disgusted.
Fracking leaders my Arse - well hey there was so much social media about how the guys were so happy to play in front of their families. Enjoy that.
Also how do I ensure that my membership money is not spent on the fine for the dimwit players family who broke Covid rules?
A mentally and physically weak performance.
No excuses today. Simply flogged by a better team once they woke up.
Hmm, I agree that I didn't express myself clearly but imagine the hue and cry if Clarkson perceives something to be an issue... He uses the football media to push agendas. Haven't heard him mention inconsistent umpiring recently, just stuff that he reckons effects the hawks.
is Moore even out there i hate to say it but we Missed Spud Mcgovern and his efforts tonight
Weak as piss
A game like this shines a light on some obvious issues.
Plowman - has games like this where everything he touches turns to crap. Just a dumb clumsy player. Covered up when things are easy and the team is winning but when the pressure is on... jeeesus
Jones does some silly things.
Newness- Did he even play tonight?
Cripps needs to practice kicking for goal.
Carlton have run up the white flag. It is something they know well.
Moore - WTF?
I mean seriously WTF?
If Moore is selected next week the entire MC and coach should be sacked.

I think Carlton lead the free kick count 9-1 early on.
Since then its been 12-18 Hawks.
....and Cripps has got 6 free kicks tonight (and given away 0).
So.....we complain about 1 player, and that 1 player gets free kicks.
Clarko complains about the whole team, and the whole team get free kicks. Touche.

The umpires didn't determine that result Kruds.
There are players who make things happen, some players watch things happen and then there is us tonight. WTF happened??? 😥
we lack another gun midfielder with some pace
Weak as piss
Well, that's about the most accurate and succinct summary.
Only our 2nd bad loss in the 20 under Teague. We are on our way up but as with most developing teams you occasionally get crap like this that lets us down. We've had some real frustration this season but this is a bad one.
Agreed, our crapness lost the game, not the umpiring, I'm just wondering what dig Clarkson will raise at the AFL this week... Oh, he won so he won't.
The umpires didn't determine that result Kruds.
No it didn't.
But it proves whinging to the umpires works.
Sets a bad precedent.
