Re: AFL Finals 2015 Discussion Thread
Walters & Ballantyne are just the most ineffectual players in big games ever, and I include Jetta.

Re: AFL Finals 2015 Discussion Thread
Freo have just self combusted .
You'd swear it was like watching us in a prelim.
The back half just cough the ball up to often. Mitchell the catalyst, and Freo have looked cooked a long way out.
Gotta love the hawk fans they had a lean year once, and they're very loyal.Comment

Feel a bit for Freo. They've done a lot right. Hawthorn are just so brutally efficient. 15.3.Comment

Re: AFL Finals 2015 Discussion Thread
HB is crap, Walters is a gun but had a few poor moments. Still thought he was good.
Freo's gameplan is atrocious. Their propensity to continually kick the ball backwards, even when there's no sight of a switch, is absolutely ridiculous. It repeatedly puts them under pressure, which inevitably will lead to mistakes in big games (ie. The two howlers late) whilst robbing them of any chance to score.

Re: AFL Finals 2015 Discussion Thread
Thought the umpiring was equally poor on both sides. Hawks got the good run early but Freo got a great run wth the umps later on.
Was very happy to see the Freo game plan safely tucked away for another finals campaign. There are no winners if a Ross Lyon coached team ever salutes in a GF.
Hawks are an outstanding team - I can't think of any other team that could win a PF in hostile enemy territory like Perth, 2 weeks after travelling there for a final. They have no duds (even Shoey knows and understands his role in the overall structure) and there are another 10 players who could come in and seamlessly perform a role if needed. Very happy to have a Clarkson disciple steering our ship.
Oh and Wayne Carey, Sammy Mitchell proved once again tonight what a complete fool of a special comments man you are. That's why you fit in so well at Ch.7"Look at me mate. Look at me. I'm flyin'"Comment

Re: AFL Finals 2015 Discussion Thread
I've got to say that Freo were crucified by the umpires early on. I acknowledge that Freo were looked after later on, but that was with free kicks at half back etc. Hawthorn, on the other hand, were awarded some inexplicable free kicks straight in front of goal. The one against Ballantyne in the first quarter was borderline scandalous!
I thought those kicks really halted Freo's momentum - not that I'm not displeased to see their crap style of footy bomb out. I think Norf will get flogged tonight and next week will provide an interesting GF for neutrals like us.Comment
