Fix this and we showed today we have a game plan to tame the hawks.
Our disposal efficiency was better than hawks (or at least it was @ %77 when they put it up on scoreboard at 3/4 time??)
We turned the ball over continually going forward and missed handball targets as well all day - not sure we did better today on our DE ranking which is around 15.
Its a huge problem.

An issue? Maybe. But not a serious one. This type of ball use is not about individual skill level, it's about team cohesiveness. We don't have it, but did back in 2010 and 2011. It will come and we'll look a much better skilled side in the next year or so. I have zero doubt. Even when talking individual skill, we have a number of players who will help us to improve in that area.

Also, I thought I actually heard a stat that the Hawks are near the bottom for ball use going forward. 15th I think. Interesting.

That's because the hawks have been average this year and especially recently. The giants almost beat them at the mcg three weeks ago. Carlton had them on the ropes last week.

They are well below their best.

He does look like him.

^^No, he looks nothing like him. Just the obviously incorrect popularised depiction of him.

Common sense.

We need some decent aboriginals. Hawks have Rioli and Hill. Watch GC and Bennell is tearing Geelog a new one.

Our racist recruiting is killing us.

Nothing racist about our recruiting. Unless i'm mistaken, the three lads above were taken with early draft picks, were they not? If not, who did we select before them instead?
All the speedy aboriginals are gaaaawnskis in the draft by the time our dud picks come around...
Yes, we need one. Does Elijah Edwards potentially have their foot speed?
Failing that, poach Garlett from Carlton when he becomes a free agent.
Doesn't seem to one of MM's pets.

Well it been good if they gave us a Fair Go

In the first quarter those holding the ball decisions and the 50 metre penalty really killed us. The umps did not apply the rules in a balanced manner.

I'm not saying it is the reason we lost but a jumper presentation by the Hawks to the umps after the game would have been appropriate.

Poor effort.

This wasn't a few dodgy calls. It was biased umpiring in the extreme. Cheating. Breath-taking really.

Yes I realise everyone hates us. I get that the commentators don't like us and turn a blind eye to the blatant cheating, and offer no comment on what the vision clearly shows. Not once did they question even the most ridiculous calls or non-calls, or the inconsistency in the holding-the-ball decisions which surprise surprise none were in our favour.

Now I hear the AFL are trying to re-write history so they can give some more cups to Carlton and Essendon. I wouldn't even be surprised if they try to take some of ours back.

After Eddie has turned our business around and we are more profitable that everyone else, they bring in "equalisation" rules. To stop a possible back-to-back premiership they bring in an emergency interchange rule change.

But of course when Essendon is caught systematically doping their players in an off-site lab, the AFL CEO (who happens to be an Essendon supporter....another "surprise") decides that he should do a "joint" investigation with the supposedly independant drugs body. The "hirdy vs demetriou" stoush is a croc. It wouldn't surprise me if it was all a stunt to begin with in order to divert attention from the real issue. Needless to say both Demetriou and Hirdy are a disgrace.

Wouldn't you think that the first priority of a governing sports body is to make the fixturing fair and equal? Which other sporting competition uses the results of the previous season in orchestrating a "fair" fixture. Even FIFA can get that right.

It all goes to show how corrupt the AFL are. How they really are against us. A Collingwood premiership is worth 3 of anyone else's anyway. Our side is building. We will remain side by side.
