Thought I'd start the Round 3 general chat.
Pains me to praise the Hawks, but I thought they were very good last night, at least for 3 quarters which was enough. Lots of intent, harrying around the ball, very good defence. Denying the opposition possession really works! And when Tigers did get it, they were so rattled that they butchered it.
Some shell-shocked Tiger faces in the rooms, not used to that sort of loss. Martin may be just one man, but they're undeniably different without him. It was pointed out that a lot of the team have probably never, or rarely played without him.
Seems to be a lot of hype around Giants/Bulldogs tonight, largely based on some notion of bad blood from previous games, even though Greene not playing. I hope there's more to make the game interesting than just that.
