Buggeration!
Oh well......the umps walk off satisfied......again.
The play earlier on where he jumped on the back of a prone pies player, sliding the length of his spine got #freekickhawthorn then the victim was held on the mark by a Hawks player as Hodge took off. Ugly stuff.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.
The umps have done it again. Have you ever seen a luckier team?
I thought the Pies got a pretty good run actually.Oh well......the umps walk off satisfied......again.
But then , Collingwood did get done heart breakingly by a point.
So the day wasn't all bad!
Bring on the Giants.
How Hawthorn get away with the constant dropping of the ball, in particular in the defence, is astounding. Lets hope they've used up all their luck during the regular season and it finally runs out come Grand Final time.
Gee I hope Geelong beat them in 2 weeks time. Not because I fancy them potentially in a prelim (although I'd love us to be the team to finish them off!), but I just couldn't stand another grand final against the wees and poos.
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
This. I think the umps were generally pretty good, and the Pies were gifted one late on, but the disposal of the Hawks is so frustrating. So many drops and throws.
Today's a draft of your epitaph
OK, as you were. Doesn't seem normal to be barracking for the pies ????
Yes, I know: just hope that none of us got a tatt at halftime.

Yes, missing the obvious throw by Whitecross was a big turning point.
On the evidence of that performance, the Hawks are going to get pumped by Geelong in the QF. Collingwood were gallant and had a couple of sensational players but at least half their team was inexperienced battlers. The Hawks just fell over the line against them. Hawthorn still has a handful of players who can lift at the critical moments but I don't think they have enough of them anymore, not enough to cover for the bottom end of the teams they are putting out on the paddock at the moment.
