kidding me aren't u, apart from one or two frees it was a very under adjudicated game, how a GF should be. Even looking back on that deliberate out of bounds a few times it was the right decision, changed his mind and went for the line. Umps played no role in the game.

You have got to be kidding. That was a carp decision by the umpires and when Hawthorn needed a free kick they saw it if the Swans should have got one they didn't. With free kick count 21 -10 you can tell one side had a run.

Yeah, Hawks got the better of the 50/50 decisions.
Its like the vicco umps subconciously never give the interstate clubs the benefit of the doubt in the tight calls.

besides all of that...
Great GF. Well deserved win for the Swans. Bad luck Hawks, inaccuracy cost them just like it nearly did last week.
They'll be back!
Yeah, Naah,..... Bollocks!

That was a great game. I thought Sydney were gone twice and yet they came through beautifully.

Sydney have some very underrated players and maybe sone of the Hawks are overrated although can't fault them too much as they almost won it.

I must admit I laughed @ any suggestions that Hawthorn couldn't play as bad in the prelim last week....... Yes they can and who ever says that has no idea about modern football.
If you are exposed in Today's AFL it can take weeks for you to fully get back in form against quality opposition as you can guarantee they will try that game style again the following week with their own tweaks and any changes to your attacking style WILL mess with your system.
Sydney @ $2.50 thanks for coming!!

He has at least played in a grand final. How many of his former team mates can say that?

Many Crows fans were sorry to see Marty go. I had mixed feelings because his best was brilliant and his worst was very frustrating. But he's been a great pick up for Sydney and and, yeah, the trade for Symes (when we used pick 28) was a fail in hindsight and I'd prefer to have left things as they were.

Not sure about LOL'ing at Gunston either. He wanted to leave and was good enough to be able to secure a trade so good luck to him. Reckon he'll be a great player for the Hawks.

On the Hawks, their defence leaked against the Crows but they seemed to hold their own with the Swans forwards today but they still lost even with Buddy imposing himself. Cyril seemed down. How about Jetta outrunning him and how good is Jetta going to be!

Going through the Hawks list it's hard to find too much fault other than I think Buddy may make some of his team-mates look better than they are. Surely any team with Buddy in it will win at least one more flag before he retires.

Surely its time for someone to sort out Buddys set shot kicking... Cost them a flag today and almost cost them a place I'm the GF last week.

Marty asked to go to Sydney. The crows didn't trade him, he wanted a change.
