THIS IS NOT A JOKE - THIS IS THE OFFICIAL SUMMARY OF OUR MATCH

YOU ARE TO TAKE THIS VERY, VERY SERIOUSLY AND YOU MUST SEND THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS WHO CARE.

ACCORDING TO THE HAWTHORN SUPPORTERS WHO CALLED SEN TODAY, AND THIS IS VERY SERIOUS STUFF.....

WE DIDN'T WIN ; THEY LOST THE GAME.

PLEASE DO NOT LAUGH... IT IS AS TRUE AS ANY FACT EVER PRESENTED

AND WHAT WE MUST ALL UNDERSTAND IS THE REASON THEY LOST THE GAME IS NOT BECAUSE THEY ONLY KICKED 2 GOALS IN THE SECOND HALF....NOT BECAUSE THEY TOSSED IT IN...NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE COMPLETELY OUTPLAYED...NO, THEY RAN OUT OF LEGS, AND THIS IS RATIFIED BY THE FACT THAT WCE ONLY JUST BEAT RICHMOND. THE FACT THAT WCE TRAVEL EVERY SECOND WEEK IS IRRELEVANT.

YES IT WAS THE GAME IN THE WEST LAST WEEK THAT IS AT FAULT AND THE FIXTURE.

THEY HAVE HAD TOO MANY HARD GAMES IN A ROW.

DISMISS THE FACTS THAT SYDNEY TRAVELLED TO ADELAIDE, THEN PLAYED NORTH IN A FOOT OF WATER, THEN TRAVELLED SOUTH TO TASSIE AND PLAYED ON A GROUND THEY HADN'T PLAYED ON BEFORE.

FORGET THE FACT THAT HAWTHORN HADN'T LOST THERE FOR 2 YEARS. THEY JUST GOT TIRED AND IT IS ONLY ROUND 5 YOU KNOW.

THEN THEY ONLY HAVE A 6 DAY TURNAROUND TO PLAY THE SAINTS THIS WEEK.

SO PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL AFL SUPPORTERS SO THEY UNDERSTAND AND CAN SYMPATHISE WITH THEM.

Last week it was the rain and the scg according to the homeless supporters and this week it's the factors you mentioned above. JFCHRIST it's getting bloody tedious the amount of arrogance shown by melbourne club supporters.

Seriously nico take a week away off from the local media and just make up your own mind.

What's the story with Melcho?

[Lucky Knickers]

Not to worry. Looks good for both Lewie and Melch. Phew.

Still think it'd be safer to rest LRT for a week to prevent the same thing happening again.
White performs just as good IMO

I think LRT gives more to the contest, white has more upside. White was unlucky to be omitted after his good effort the week before.

My read was that LRT was included against hawks because he could be swung back if hawks talls got on top.

[DLBIA14]

I think what worked in LRT's favour was that Horse threw him down back at times to help out. I was adamant before the game that White should have kept his sport, but certainly during the game I thought 'well, White wouldn't have been able to play that important role'.

It's a difficult one.

Just on Everitt he also did some useful things on the wings and around the half back line after half time. He's continuing to play better as an outside ball user so if he is kept in Horse, PLEASE don't keep him as a key forward. It does him and us no favours.

[Dirtyburt]

It proves how important LRT has always been to us. Dead set 100% bloke. You know if he is on the paddock nothing is left behind.

His efforts on Gardiner in 2005 won us a flag

Well said - with LRT you know you're always going to get someone who will put himself on the line for the team....

Good, you win, your never under the radar

Guess who will be ahead of the Swans on the ladder if they win next week? Adelaide....now that's flying under the radar. (OK so they have to win by 40 odd points)
