So excited yet nervous for the Hawks' game tomorrow morning. All the hype we're getting makes this such a massive game, and with Hodgey out, plus Puppy & Bailey too, it all worries me despite the Pies' injuries. I've got the day off to watch it thankfully unlike the finals match. You won't get a frenzied phone call this time Kyls at full time!

I wish I could remember watching this game last night. After 7 shots of vodka, 8 beers, 3 Jager Bombs and a night out all I remember is glimpses of the 3rd quarter while at the sports bar :p

Luckily enough I recorded it on Foxtel so I might sit down and re-watch the game while I recover :)

It reminded me of Schoenmakers in the finals, only this time it was fun to watch.

Schoenmakers shouldn't have been marking Cloke last night, and if it wasn't for his crap kicking from the set shots it would've been a bit closer. Saying that, Buddy missed a couple from straight in front in the final quarter.

it seems the afl might have adopted the european football standard of applause instead of silence when a legend passes. much better imo.
Yeah it's far better, being at the game too you don't feel at all awkward like you do with the silence, wondering if you put your phone on silent and keeping a fart in if you feel one coming!

The only time I felt a minute's applause was inappropiate was when Gary Speed hung himself. When we started the applause, it felt like we were applauding him for killing himself. That was a strange feeling at the Swansea game at Ewood and I didn't see it coming until the applause started and me & my mate turned round at the same time thinking the same thing.

ballantyne might be the most disgusting footballer in the league

diving all over the place, being a little shitstirrer so scarlett pops him in the face. barely touched him but will get weeks. shouldve hit the little cunt harder.

then he kicks a goal to put freo 5 points up and comes off to a heroes welcome. him + lyon = most hated club easily.

:yum:

I don't want to get carried away as I learned last year, you can never write off the Cats. I thought Fremantle would be a tough nut to crack in Perth for them, but Geelong are sure to be even more fired-up now for next week at the G. Still it's good to see Scarlett miss out as he obviously will.

Hopefully Hodge will be back for us, and Shiels too would be a bonus.
