My social media accounts were full of Razor Ray memes from this game...did he have a shocker?

Just the usual anti Hawthorn stuff, nobody good enough to beat us so they blame the umpires everytime
Haters gonna hate

I only saw the last half, so I can't comment much. Standard Razor game from what I saw - shyte both ways!

[MatteeG]

We got a charmed run early, but I reckon they evened it up pretty obviously later. Certainly some crap decisions each way.

[Trader]

Yeah, as a neutral the hawks certainly had a good run early, picking up the first 5 frees, however as they tend to, things did even out.

Sam Mitchell could consider himself rather unlucky with the deliberate he got pinged for.

The whole of the Lefevre Peninsula would have heard me from my lounge room in Taperoo when that was paid!! I was filthy

Pretty sure there was a deliberate late in the last quarter that wasn't paid against Hawthorn coming out of the backlines.. and that looked dead set deliberate

Yeah, the usual anti Hawthorn stuff. Like Gibson running twenty metres and not having to bounce the ball. Like Gibson throwing the ball out in a tackle and not being pinged and two clear marks to the Dogs not paid right in front of goal...the usual Hawthorn stuff.

You proved my point, this meter reading is particularly high amongst Geelong supporters, not sure why

Late overview of last week:

Wow. What a cracking game.

The start was just what we wanted, put the doubt in the young dogs minds. Full credit to the dogs though, they wrestled the ascendancy through the second quarter (and probably should have been in front at half time- gees they missed some sitters).

Third quarter from about the 10 minute mark we were absolutely smacked around the ground, yet somehow remained only 3 goals away. I was strangely calm at 3/4 time- you could see we werent quite done.

Last quarter, a great start had us back in the game pretty quickly. Sicily bobbing up and our rucks plucking grabs. Thought we could have iced the game when we got 10 or so points up with about 5 mins to go, but again credit to the dogs, they got instant replies and even after Sicily kicked the winner they still surged forward and was only some desperate defence held it in at the end.

Loved the games from Mitchell and Stratton, clearly our 2 best on the day. Hartung and Smith were down on last week. I reckon O'Rourke was a bit stiff to get dropped this week, and I think Gibson and Shoenmakers were somewhat hampered by niggles through the game. Our ruck combo looks to be improving and if Cegs could start kicking straight (FFS!) we have quite a dangerous duo when they go forward.

Hopefully we can stay switched on this week against a buoyant Saints outfit which boast some size and run.

[Corona Man]

The Gibson & Shoe outs this week are interesting, I didn't notice them "struggling" to get around the ground last week. Litherland named at CHB, and O'Brien named at CHF gives us a very different look this week. Hodge back in so quick is a bonus, assume he will be wearing a guard of some kind on the forearm. While you would have to think we have the cattle to account for the saints, even with a few soldiers down... I hope the hawks have not pencilled this one in as a win just yet...

[MatteeG]

4 points.

Nothing else to see here.

Sam Mitchell FC at moment, be nice for some other midfielders to get a bit (lot) more of the ball.

Would like to see a huge lift in intensity this Friday night.

Jason Dunstall's top five Hawks.

5. Tuck
4. Platten
3. Mitchell
2. Hudson
1. Matthews


I'd have Dunstall and Brereton in ahead of Tuck and Mitchell. I reckon he has 1 and 2 right.

Criteria being from those he's seen play, and naturally he wouldn't select himself. Tough one, and Im a massive Mitchell fan, but yeah hard to leave Dunstall and Brereton out so I probably agree with you.

Yeah Tuck played alot of games and you have to be bloody good to do that but id have quite a few more ahead of Tuck.
from the modern era id have Hodge, Mitchell, Franklin, Burgoyne and Rough ahead of him
From 80's and 90s Jarman, Dipper, Ayres, Knights and Crawford are ahead of him

[The Bedge]

Yeah Tuck played alot of games and you have to be bloody good to do that but id have quite a few more ahead of Tuck.

He did play in 7x premierships though lol, that's pretty impressive!
