Just watching the game tonight and I tell ya what Riewoldt is looking a lot better this week as are both teams for that matter.

Hoping the Saints win though. They won't fall out of the 4 and Hawthorn are nipping at our heels.

If the Saints lose tonight & win beat Freo, it's only 1 win difference G-Mo.

Another draw! That interchange infringement hurts big time for the Hawks.

Worse result for Hawthorn. Blimey with Kennett in charge the interchange steward might be looking for a new job!Stkilda have an easy run home and the Hawks now may have an interstate final.

Does that draw help, or hurt us?

If we win game it shouldn't effect us at all. ;)

I would have rathered the Saints win, they've got a pretty easy run home and it would have given us some breathing space (if we win) over Hawthorn.

Investigation by Hawthorn. Apparently 5 on the bench when the infrigement was called. Could be a big couple of days!

Really?

I've always thought it's a stupid rule and the penalty for something so small is far to harsh.

Given their poor percentage in comparasin to us, the draw is as good as a win for Hawthorn.

2 BIG game turners tonight:

1/ Kozi marks 40 metres out directly in front & the Saints runner runs through the mark. Reversal as a consequence.

2/ Rioli marks 30 metres out with a couple of minutes left & lead by 7 points. As he's about to kick it, he looks left as though distracted, but kicks the goal anyway. Only problem was the Hawks fluffed an interchange & the Saints get a free plus 50 which results ultimately in a mark to Riewoldt, who kicks a point.

I really enjoyed it as a contest as the margins at each break were Haw +1, StK +1, level & level. Doesn't get much tighter.

And a lotta free kicks!

Nearly every contest I heard the umpires paying one. I'm sorry to sound like a broken record but I really wish they'd rip the mic off these guys.

I think one of the commentators referred to it as an ice skating rink at one stage.

It looked like it the way the players were slipping and sliding.

If any side can win the Premiership from outside the top four, it's Hawthorn. They've pushed us twice, Geelong twice and should of defeated St. Kilda tonight.

The Premiership is wide open - I'd argue it has never, ever been this even. 5 sides can win it - that's not counting Fremantle.

Agreed. Blood in the streets if a final gets decided in that way.

I had never heard that the Saints runner cannot run through the mark. Was it a mistake by the umpire, who thought it was a Hawks runner, or is that actually a rule?

It sounds like Daniel Wells was just injured during the pregame warm up - the Etihad curse strikes again.

Great game of 20/20 footy tonight between the Bombres and Norf. Absolute no defence played with North continually zoning off,thought Watson was immense and got them over the line.I think North might be done and dusted

LeCras loves kicking goals doesn't he. He was fantastic last week but this week he'd basically have a shot whenever he got the pill.

God I hope so. Though you never know they might wheel Archer out for another 300th game:eek:
