@JCordy37 Going into the round, they were 2nd for points for and 13th for points against with the 5 teams below them combining for 3 wins (2 against each other)

They are elite on turnover and super vulnerable the other way. Unfortunately, last night, they didn't turn it over much

[Joe Cordy @JCordy37]

This clip is so fascinating to me because you as well as being liquid football, you can also see what makes the Cats so leaky defensively. If any one of these disposals doesn't come off they've got no rest defence at all to speak of, and would absolutely concede immediately.

@PollyPorridge Their midfield slaughtered us last night

I actually don't think their backline is that good defensively but on the rare occasions we got the ball forward, it was pretty poor quality and they do have good interceptors

Their forward handball game opened us up time after time

@PollyPorridge Arguing a rule should simply be disapplied is, um, an interesting strategy

[Liam @LiamMc99]

@smorganism Appeals board is a review for error, not a fresh review of the merits of the case

It's not just seeing if reasonable minds differ and new people come to a different result

[Liam @LiamMc99]

@DavidZita1 @FOXFOOTY Arguing the rules shouldn't be applied is, an interesting way to make an argument

Diversity is too often seen as ‘the right thing to do’, rather than the clear competitive advantage that it is. https://t.co/PK3Q88ApUj

@timrosen35 If it’s a suspension in round 1, it’s a suspension in a grand final

Rule book doesn’t change

[Liam @LiamMc99]

@PollyPorridge Both have really poor lists in fairness to the coaches, but something has to give at both

[Liam @LiamMc99]

@AlexJDonnelly At ground today

The surface looks utterly magnificent. Wonder if that’s a factor

@e_david28 Helps brining in half a new team of academy guns

@forzakate If it’s only 5 years, they should count themselves lucky

[Liam @LiamMc99]

@JCordy37 Both clubs in similar states

Poor lists and worse coaches

The giants have at least improved this year, even if their midfield are still mostly downhill skiers

[Liam @LiamMc99]

28 inside 50s to 9. In a half. Against Richmond

GWS midfield only seem willing to work one way and leaving their backline helpless

[Liam @LiamMc99]

@AlexJDonnelly She's going to love having Oliva Wolmarans leading at her for the rest of her career

Ridiculous what she's able to do in her first year

[Liam @LiamMc99]

I mean, it's a pretty decent day for footy in the nation's capital

@darren_levin Rewatch a replay from Friday night instead

[laura ✨ @_goldenlaura]

it’s honestly embarrassing as a hawthorn supporter to see the reactions of some fans who threw things at the umpires and onto the ground, as well as starting multiple fights.

[Tex Ritter @Tex_of_Tassie]

TO THE HAWKS FANS THAT THREW THINGS AT THE UMPIRES, THAT IS PATHETIC! 😡
