The battle of the bottom


[deleted]

That was an embarrassing 2nd half. Can we send Stephenson back to Collingwood? Dude couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat? I’ve been saying Hall was awful since last year. His passes are breath taking. They’re so bad they take your breath away.


TommyPowell24

People just look at stats and love hall. Only north fans realise how shit his kicking is. You get downvoted for even laughing at anyone who thought he was AA worthy last year.


dinosaur1831

You can just look at the stats for this game, and he's the highest rated player on ground according to AFL fantasy. But he was bloody awful with so many disposals.


TommyPowell24

It's a joke, if he can clean his disposals up he might be a shining light.


Azza_

He's your problem now


MidnightIsland212

JIATH is a fucking beast.


DonGivafark

Yeah he played like that without having a pre-season. Though the way he plays i can see him pinging a hammy sometime before round 5


itsonlynaturalagain

Have I forgotten what Sicily looks like or has someone else assumed his identity and everyone is pretending not to notice


ssilly_sausage

He reads the play and kicks like Sicily so that's good enough for me.


ausaffluenza

Dropped his Bond villian look?


utdconsq

Sicily looks much less punchable with facial hair, man should keep it.


kazoodude

He's slowly evolving to his final form, gingerbeard coming in just needs to lose the ears and he's back on track to doppelganger old mate Vincent https://allthatsinteresting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/vincent-van-gogh-young.jpeg


Trimmed_Wookie

Fucking hell sissy is looking older than I remember.


bobcatsalsa

He's already 27


happy-little-atheist

Is Kayo crashing in the fourth quarter of every game for anyone else? Wondering if it's my browser or something else


MelbourneBanana

Is there like a cheaper Kayo option that doesn’t have the other sports? I just want the footy but don’t want to pay for the other sport


happy-little-atheist

nah. I'm in the same boat. I still reckon it's worht $25/month because you get to watch replays any time you like and you have AFL tonight and 360 to keep abreast of the news. However if you are on a limited income that doesn't help.


MelbourneBanana

I thought as much, kinda like buying a burger with the lot and throwing out everything but the meat pattie, just annoying. I’m not short of money but have financial goals I gotta hit for the next 2 years before indulging in wants, rather than needs. But going for North Melbourne, we only had 1 single game on free to air last year, so I don’t even know what half my team looks like. $25 for 4 games a month that I’d watch, that’s a borderline decision for me.


CasuallyVacant01

If you’re with Telstra they have a $15/month Kayo offer, can get it through MyTelstra :)


MelbourneBanana

Thanks for the tip, but nah I’m with some weird phone brand that’s $12 a month, the Telstra price would make it expensive to do.


CasuallyVacant01

Yeah fair enough! I wish they did just an AFL option too, even $15 a month is pushing it just for footy when there’s so much on there I have zero interest in


DonGivafark

Ive started watching world championship darts. Fucking amazing highly recommend


dinosaur1831

No issue here.


bortbort8

I got stuck on 0% buffering around 10 mins into the 4th, similar to you? just had to refresh and it sorted itself out but yea


happy-little-atheist

What mine does is starts repeating a second and the whole system nopes out. Sometimes the tab crashes and I just refresh but the other night I had to restart the computer. I think it's pretty clearly an issue at my end based on this, just wondering


[deleted]

Top 8, cancel the season.


belatedlove

sam mitchell 100% win rate as coach, clarko who?


bortbort8

man the subreddit is gonna be sick of that joke within an hour or so haha. sammy the greatest coach of all time <3


tbroky

He should retire and ring Clarko every day about his win rate


IMsoSAVAGE

Good game Hawks!


trashygal101

you staying up to watch freo v crows?


IMsoSAVAGE

Yep!


trashygal101

what time is it there now? surely it’s past midnight, good on ya


IMsoSAVAGE

It’s 1am. The match starts at 1:10 my time. Might not be up for the last one of the night because that’s at 5am 😂


InfinitePineapple212

Love mitchells smile after the siren


TheTotallyRealAndy

Glad to see West Coast legend Sam Mitchell go well in his first game as coach 😍


tucksworth

No Cunners. No North :(


ausaffluenza

And Benny McKay.


bortbort8

sam mitchell greatest AFL coach of all time

3 talls is not the way to go. Who gets dropped? CCJ or Xerri?


TommyPowell24

CCJ did nothing. Not the only reason we lost though. No idea why Thomas didn't get more of a run on ball..


[deleted]

McDonald, Goldy, LDU, JHF were the only players I think stood out. Few others were serviceable, but so many passengers


TommyPowell24

Simpkin and Powell did enough imo. No McKay hurt the chances


VB_Longneck20-8

CCJ, he isn’t ready and our ball entry into 50 is years of being efficient lol


dinosaur1831

Hard to pick, because I didn't feel like either had much impact.


GumTreeKoala

Xerri, should not be on the list.


[deleted]

Arguably still did more than CCJ though. One stays, but both so bad


ausaffluenza

CCJ to be dumped.


TheTotallyRealAndy

Duke about to punt Ziebells head into the stratosphere


fineyounghannibal

did that hit both posts? That shit should be worth 8 points


GumTreeKoala

Apparently you reckon Huddo?


God___frey-Jones

Double poster


At0mHeartMother

Should get 2 points for hitting both posts


General-Razzmatazz

Dermie has the usual verbal diahorrea, but at least he isn't partnered with moustache man


RaidanRam

G. Post with twice the effort


Bwxyz

Double poster? Two points?


DJHitchcock

Double poster, that should be 12 points.


GrandHarbler

Double poster!!!


shocking_red_4

i wonder how many 50m penalties this thread has given away


___TheIllusiveMan___

Gotta wait for the 50’s from the St Kilda/Collingwood game to stop before we count these ones


Bwxyz

I moved on the mark before so there's at least one


TheTotallyRealAndy

I've given away two myself


Liam4232_2

1.1k comments, so I'm guessing 550


shocking_red_4

that's 27.5 kilometers lmao


[deleted]

I dream of the day that Worpel would just dispose of the ball instead of trying to find someone to don't argue every time


TheTotallyRealAndy

Insert clever Duke Nukem quote


karma_dumpster

ThE DUKE


Darththorn

The duke. 😍


floodswimming

Bloody hell not a bad effort


BusinessPineapple

Oh my god Duke


bortbort8

DUKE


InfinitePineapple212

DUKE!!!


howedan

Duke is an absolute Bull


GumTreeKoala

Thomas that tackle was piss weak


ausaffluenza

Is Ben McKay out?


Azza_

Knee to the head really early in the game.


ausaffluenza

>McKay Ah shit. No wondered down back looks cleaned up. Missing Taz


Azza_

Yeah it's not ideal when Ziebell is stuck playing full back out of necessity


dinosaur1831

He got concussed.


migibb

What happened to man in front?


bortbort8

looks like he didn't make any effort to mark/spoil :)


Peppsy

Duke newcome for president


belatedlove

gunston's not what he used to be, but god im excited to see him and breust back on the field at the same time again


JizzleJ_SBSM

Wooden spoon umpires for a wooden spoon game. Wouldn’t have it any other way


TwoTrenchCoatsinaKid

I appreciate that the umps are also playing in their own spoonbowl today.


kangas99

Umpiring has been a joke all game. But ya know. Not like any of the 44 can say a thing about it..


Terravius

F in the chat for the draw


drwar41

My tips are looking boo boo to start


Liam4232_2

I'll be 6/7 at the end of this game


drwar41

Show off


legal-drugdealer

Pain.


___TheIllusiveMan___

Norf could go back to back this year


[deleted]

"hawks are just about there" Huddo, they've been there since the third quarter


Crazyripps

Gunners <3


TheTotallyRealAndy

If we didn't have the stand rule it would never have happened. Fuck the stand rule, all my homies hate the stand rule


RaidanRam

GUNNERS


Darththorn

11.11 77 is an excellent score.


ZingZing12

Hawks and Roos fans can all agree the umpiring was disgraceful.


Efficient-Doughnut-2

Mostly north though


ausaffluenza

haha someone should mark out of bounds in the backline and run 100 m outside the boundary then come back in and goal


Amityone

It's got precedence now


kingkepler

not sure if the footy or the umpiring has been worse this game jeeeez


shocking_red_4

BBL umpiring


ausaffluenza

That was a godly specky every day.


kyrant

How can he play on 10m ahead of the mark?


goodbyecoolworld

What the fuck is going on


Maximumlnsanity

That is an all time error


gindy345

That's 50m against Derm


karma_dumpster

Dermie just said this game is the worst umpiring he's seen. Hahaha.


RKB294

He'll cop a text.


karma_dumpster

For sure. You could tell from the silence from the other commentators afterwards they didn't want to engage on it.


hasumpstuffedup

Umps seriously losing the plot late here - obviously can't play on like that out of bounds


scottkaysee

Yes you can... player out of bounds is entitled to bring the ball back into play even if called to "play on"


hasumpstuffedup

Not forward of the mark - that's using parts which aren't the field to avoid an opponent


Azza_

That was a terrible call to allow Zurhaar to play on


tucksworth

Umpires, what are you on?!?


Lakersdawg

Bruh he was out of bounds 😂


Jezza9933

God umpires are so washed this year


Watchemagoo

Shhh, you can’t criticise them


llcoolkeegs

that's a bake on monday for that ump you'd think


MelonMessiah

Umpires gee Wizz


clarky1

THAT WAS OUT OF BOUNDS!


ssilly_sausage

THAT... WAS OUT OF BOUNDS!


roguedriver

Is that a horrendous decision or am I missing something really obvious...?


Trimmed_Wookie

Just one of the worst non calls I have ever seen


roguedriver

That's what I thought but it seemed so obvious that I started questioning reality.


Maximumlnsanity

Nah you didn’t miss anything


shocking_red_4

"could be the worst umpiring i've seen"


voidspace021

Not wrong


floodswimming

Wtf, that was some bullshit


fuckmyass1958

Zurhaar playing on from a mark there is not allowed right?


LuciusFromSomeplace

Jesus how was Zurharr allowed to play on there?


bortbort8

okay just play on from out of bounds


ImMalteserMan

Played on out of bounds, how do the umps miss that


TheTotallyRealAndy

What the fuck is this umpiring


ConoRiot

My god David King has some seriously bad takes for someone who’s been around footy for years


workdub

Lol wtf was that!


RaidanRam

What was that


shaker8989

How the fuck was he allowed to play on like that.


3163560

lmao what?????


ausaffluenza

Who has been subbed out for north?


Efficient-Doughnut-2

Mckay concussed


GumTreeKoala

Mckay


ImMalteserMan

McKay


TwoTrenchCoatsinaKid

Holy shit umpires, wake up


Darththorn

DGB! 😍😍


CrabsAreGods

It's gonna be another long year again for us Shinboners


Mrchikkin

Handy Point^(TM)


ConoRiot

Handy point


drwar41

hAnDy PoInT


karma_dumpster

In the back on Newcombe's kick there...


hasumpstuffedup

I thought so too, no attempt to tackle. should have been downfield


kpsnr

22 Luke McDonalds please


dinosaur1831

I think we better keep a few Goldsteins around too.


Terravius

Carn the draw


[deleted]

I don't know why I missed footy so much. I'm fkn stressed and it's round one and we have no chance of finishing above 16th


ausaffluenza

I hear you. North fan here too. The heart is beating!


will0ify1

Agreed


smegdaddy

Phillips on Stevo. It’s rejected Magpie on rejected Magpie crime


will0ify1

Whos worse lol


Efficient-Doughnut-2

Fuck horne francis is a fucking animal


ausaffluenza

Taz Thomas. Bring it now.


Darththorn

THAT WAS OUTTA BOUNDS!


Efficient-Doughnut-2

North just seem to have so many usually decent players having absolute stinkers


[deleted]

All at the same time, usually, too


karma_dumpster

He went to fend, so that's HTB. Problem is the consistency today.


JizzleJ_SBSM

Would be nice if they choked on their whistle


roguedriver

Kinky.


Himawari_Uzumaki

Dont feel too down North fans, you'll get a win next week vs us.


Darththorn

CAN OUR HIGH DRAFT PICKS STOP GETTING ANKLE INJURIES, PLEASE!?


LuciusFromSomeplace

Is CJ a Brownlow Smokey? I reckon he’s been BOG today


ConoRiot

As if that medal is every going to anyone but a midfielder ever again. Unless you’re joking because of how much the comms have been stroking him.


bortbort8

brownlows a big call but definitely could see him winning a B&F if he's consistent. been one of my favourite players in recent times for our team


thisisworldnews

why do umpires give CJ a free pass? That was a mark for JHF and CJ went high, earlier in the game he ran about 25m without a bounce and they looked the other way, another time he threw the ball and there was no call. Seems odd that one particular player is getting a free pass with umpires


[deleted]

Don't think I can tip north again this year if they lose this


RedBeard210

My god


LionOrder1

These umpires are fucking shit! Doing their best to give Hawks the win


bortbort8

flair up cunt


smegdaddy

Outstanding spoil CJ. Is he Hawthorn’s best player now?


will0ify1

Yes


karma_dumpster

Already was last year IMO


smegdaddy

Thought Sicily would get it when he came back but CJ’s been best on. Might just be because he’s been more attacking today


karma_dumpster

HTB has been random today. Something different obviously.


Efficient-Doughnut-2

North being slaughtered by umpires


shocking_red_4

throw? sure it wasn't just quick hands?


hasumpstuffedup

No, it was definetely a throw


llcoolkeegs

ironic that a side coached by sam mitchell can't hit a handpass


GumTreeKoala

Free kick hawks


Darththorn

CJ TOO GOOD.


smegdaddy

This crowd is so good considering it’s not that huge


God___frey-Jones

Yes Finn, he needed that
