Re: Round 21 Discussion

Reckon we'd take the three flags in 7 years though

We just might...

This year is wide open.

Re: Round 21 Discussion

I hope Hodge gets a few weeks for his hit on Wingard. He's potentially saved by the fact Wingard was able to play on and have an impact.

Ended up a great win for Port, but it must be incredibly frustrating knowing they can still turn in such strong performances but have really wasted a chance this year. They'll turn it around in 2016 I'm sure.

Re: Round 21 Discussion

agree on all points.

The hawks looked like their attitude was bordering on hubris, particularly the way they back chatted the umpires and threw themselves about the place when things didn't go their way. Having their crowd being the biggest bunch of sooks made the port win enjoyable to me.


Ling after the game was aggressively suggesting free pass hodgy didn't mean to crunch wingard into the post, in the face of clear evidence that suggested he did. His eyes lit up like a christmas tree when he saw an opportunity to hurt the chad.

Bruce did his best to ruin a fairly enjoyable game. Why he insists on using nicknames for everyone is beyond me. I mean, who the *!*!*!*! Is he to be calling paul puopolo "poppy"?

i haaaaaaaaaaaate macavaney.

Only if they bring the same defensive intent that they brought to last night's game. That's been their biggest problem in 2015 - too much one-way running.

But Hodgey is a good bloke - you can have a beer with him. That's all the criteria the Ch.7 commentators/lemmings need to know to give Hodge the benefit of the doubt that he didn't deliberately crush Wingard's head into the point post with his hip. It's not like he has any previous form with cheap shots

Re: Round 21 Discussion

Hodge has to get a decent suspension for that. In the context of players getting 2-4 weeks for "rough conduct" surely a deliberate attack on a bloke's head in one of the most vulnerable positions on the ground, successfully making high contact deserves a hefty suspension.

Deliberate, dangerous, high and unsportsmanlike.

Re: Round 21 Discussion

successfully making high contact

Wingard was KO'd, got the "praise jesus" arms up on the way down. Remarkable he was able to bounce back so quickly

Re: Round 21 Discussion

Hodge has always been a thug first and foremost. It's a scandal the tribunal have never recognised it. He also happens to be one of the best modern footballers but that should not mitigate the acknowledgement of his violence.
I hope Hawthorn sink like the Blues and Bombers because of their domination of the comp since '61:
1961, 1971, 1976, 1978, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 2008, 2013, 2014.
Hawthorn has nearly strangled the comp like Hodge hard noses opponents. Well done but enough is enough.

Any team would have Hodge. He's a very good player who has an angry pill now and then. Not sure that makes him a thug, like Baker, Brown or other out-and-out thugs.

Free Pass Hodgy is dirtier than most. By a stretch.

I look forward to him being booed incessantly in the coming weeks because of the clearly dirty acts he has committed this year. That's why we boo folks isn't it?

Re: Round 21 Discussion

These Sat arvo games not panning out for us at this stage. Rich piling on % against a distinctly disinterested looking Coll and Swans up early against Giants. Thought Giants looked okay in general play after getting smashed early in stoppages, hopefully their run can get them back into the game.

The only thing that separates Hodge from Baker and Brown is footballing talent.

He's a better player, so he gets away with more.

And if they do it will simply be because they're racist, no matter how much they won't admit it.
