I get the feeling of some negative commentary coming through. Remember the important points before you go rubbishing our game. Firstly, WE WON!

that is a pretty serious evaluation of that match. Before we get all rubbishy and start whacking players over the head , WE WON!

Now the facts Hawks.

Port are fit and fast and are really the fourth placed team in the comp , not Freo.They have a mighty set of up and comers and a mighty set of mature placed players , with two or three real champs in the making. THEY WERE NEVER GOING TO BE EASY. They were always going to put their powerful run and pressure game on us. They did. We never handled them earlier in the year and we nearly (NEARLY!!!) didn't yesterday.

That didn't stop us , we were able to lead after half time until the siren , we were  also able to get out to almost a four goal lead at  3 quarter time.

Its time we started saying ......  "it was Port who put themselves under the hammer against a Hawthorn team.  That was not "ON" barely at all,  in that match" .

Yet with  our " not on" standard yesterday we still managed to take a lead at times by up to 29 points, then faltered but had a big gun luckily enough (the general) to kill the final onslaught.

Time was on our side , but we won, and totally deserved to.

Port kicked badly , so did we, at crucial times.

 

Port were the team that had to play catch up every quarter change,  except the first.

We turned the game to the tune of 23 point turnaround in the second quarter.

And built a lead to keep safe from a rampaging Port in the last quarter.

 

We did that, after the fact that several of our boys looked out of touch and I mean out of touch , Poppy , Gunston, I thought even Issac Smith looked hesitant at least twice  yesterday, and Suckling needs telling " make your decision quicker" , he gets caught too often, when he twists and turns.

If players aren't down the ground for a pass at least put that mighty boot into it and send it down the ground, that is old fashioned , but even in today's game sometimes you play it safer. Suckling has been great, but he makes some blues that are turned over and costly.

We fumbled , yes, we were  out of touch , yes , we never play that crappy twice. Sydney will have to be in dynamite form to take us , because Hawthorn resolve will being branded into the failure of some players for us yesterday .

Sometimes I think the week off is worse than playing the next week. Port were in over run mode at the end , we will be better for yesterday.

North Melbourne were absolute pretenders Sydney had no opposition!

We owe Sydney a mashing.   BIG TIME. 

They are the mercenary club, that used to be South Melbourne , they pinched Tipett with consequences for the Crows. And suspension for himself.

So they broke the rules.

They under handedly went about approaching Franklin with an obscene amount of money and from my perception , had him in the "lie" , before our GF last year.

I know Buddy is a good footballer and probably a good bloke , but his desertion to me was a mercenary divisory unfair act.

With greed stamped all over it.

Unfortunately for me, I can't, and will never forgive him, because Hawthorn never deserved to be treated with disrespect like that. He's a traitor.

We owe them payback so badly .

They get looked after, they get the little extras in help, NEXT WEEK WILL NOT BE YESTERDAY!
