I can't remember the last time I went to a game and saw standing water on the G.  Apparently 10ml in an hour!

Hawthorn's positioning, toughness and adaptability was streets ahead of ours.  Losing Hewitt didn't help, but Acres would have been handy.  Not sure about our tactic of bombing it into the forward line.  Didn't seem to work very well.

The 50m penalty - enough has been said, but it energised Hawks and deflated us.  Result wouldn't have been different, but it becomes a different game.

Good result for our son's mate who came along, but that was about it.  Even the Hot Jam Donut after the game had cold jam in it - so disappointing.

Carlton
Vs top 6 - 0-6
Vs bottom 5 - 5-0
Vs middle 7 - 3-3

Explain how?
Doesn't matter who the coach is, results follow ladder perfectly.

MMB said the ladder doesnt lie.

Under Voss we were 17th.

under fraser we have won 7 of 8 and now sit in 12.

All the rest is spin as usual.

OK, well in that case, after R1 we were 1-1 and sat 11th. So Voss is the better coach then? You said it.


If you are going to argue nonsense, nonsense will be thrown back at you.

Sort of thought that while the Hawks were the better side, we played ok up until 6 minutes to go in the 3rd.

The Ginnivan goal, the free to Gunstan for high contact after he fell and finally the Ison error with 6 minutes to go with his kick missing Walsh took all the air out of the game.   2 or 3 inside 50 entries resulted in a Hawthorn uncontested marks, which given the conditions was a poor outcome.

Credit to Hawthorn.   They own us in recent times

....and we own Geelong.

When you look at the opposition, not the coach, all our results make sense.

Why are you pulling me into this

GWS and Bulldogs own us and we own North ;)

Does anyone think we can beat Collingwood?

Yes.

Without trying to make this a coach debate, look at what happenes last time.
We had elijah off with the fairies for the whole game and we had byrne miss the shot at the end to give us a draw.

If we are not playing hollands, we have immediately improved and this should win.
No doubt we should have won last time for those reasons. I have confidence in this one.

We have to beat all of the Pies, Suns, Saints and Dogs to play in September due to our percentage, unless we really slaughter someone. All we can win being around our mark on the ladder. If one of them beat us then we have to beat one of the Lions or Dockers to make up for it. Pies run home stinks.
