Atleast, I assume he was an amputee, because he only used one arm all night!
Does anyone else agree that referee should be taken out in public and whipped?
Whats your honest opinion of umpires in the AFL at the moment?
Do you think they do a good job or would they be better off sitting in the stands with the fans? easy points here people!
Did anyone else notice the amputee referreing the hawthorn V Melbourne game?
When will people realise that a high or unequal free kick count means that one team was first to the ball more consistently than the other?
It happened to the Kangas last week against Geelong when the Roos were clearly the more inferior and unwilling side on the park, and it happened again last night when Hawthorn was consistently second to the ball, unwilling when it mattered and frustrated at both those facts.
There's no use blaming the umpires. Blame the players and those who prepare and motivate them.
Reply:I watched that game last night and the umpires did a good job. Yeah, I might be an umpire my self but I will still have a go at the guys in the AFL if they have a bad game. I still have a go at them when im watching a game.
Someone said above, the Kangaroos didnt win the game, the umps did. That is a load of crap. The Hawks went out there to target Brent Harvey. Even the comentators said that the Hawks were not playing the game, they were playing Brent Harvey.
I have seen it a lot myself as an umpire. When teams start focusing on another player, getting fustrated with them selves or start blaming an umpire, they lose the plot. I have umpired games thios season where teams could have won it but they were pre ocupied with taking out another player or abusing an umpire. Thats what Harthorn did, just focused on Brent Harvey.
Hawthorn had lots of chances. There were the same amount of opportunities for both teams when I was watching the game, and the Kangaroos took those chances with both hands and they now play Port in the Preliminary Finals.
I say good luck to all teams.
My predictions- Who will be there. Geelong v Port- Geelong win
Want there- Collingwood v Port- Pies to win
Reply:The umpires are the best there is. They do a better than adequate job.
What is the alternative to the current umpiring?
Reply:I did not se it but love the way you put the question,i had to look see what you were on about.Well done
Reply:Well I guess no one agrees with the umps all the time, but they try to be consistant and fair...although sometimes it doesnt seem that way. Sometimes its the position the ump is in and sometimes one team is just being really undisiplined. You gotta give the umps credit. they do alot for the game and if it werent for them then there would be no game, and if our team loses we wouldnt have anyone to blame and make ourselves feel better.
Reply:do u mean the kangas and hawks ?
if you do the umpiring was not fair at all !! whenever we got the ball kangas got a free for the most stupidest reason ! where are the fair umpires these days.
the kangas had 33 free kicks and hawks had 15
The umpires just wanted to keep the kangas in the game .
The kangas didn't win THE UMPIRES DID.

When will Hawthorn player Stuart Dew return from his hamstring injury?
how many more games will he miss?
When will Hawthorn player Stuart Dew return from his hamstring injury?
The Hawks site says 2 weeks, but I don't think after a few years off Clarkson will put him back in, I don't think he'll be back for 3-4 weeks.
Reply:No stewy wont be back. Stewy has a problem with food and now that he has a leg injury he cant train he will get bored, depressed and spend his day time stuffing his face with donuts and corn dogs while watching oprah and Dr phil!! Its back to the fat farm for Stewy!! Don't worry you dont want him on your team, cause i remember when he was at port he was just to hot and cold, to inconsistent
Reply:2 to 3 weeks %26amp; he should be over his injury %26amp; available for selection.
But he has no chance of getting back into the team - not unless the Hawks have a stack of injuries.
He is so slow now he couldn't run out of sight on a dark night.
Reply:He will be out for another 3 weeks, and thats if he can make it back into the team, i think he is a good player but who do you take out of the side we had on the weekend, remembering we still have to get croad, Lewis, Mitchell and Boyle back.
Reply:he will be back in the next few weeks and will be a vital member of hawthorns premiership challenging tem
Reply:2 more weeks
Reply:Atleast another 2 weeks but i think clarkson will give him 3 or 2 and a week in the reserves. Go Buddy. Hopefully croads back this week.
Reply:I just went on the Hawthorn Football Club web page and it said that Dew will miss 2 weeks. I'm not sure weather it is from when he did his Hammy or from now. I would suggest from now so look out for him in the hawks clash with the Tigers (Go the Tigs!!!!!) or Collingwood! Hope that helped you if so, YOUR WELCOME!
Reply:Two more weeks.
Plus 20 more kilos......................
Reply:They haven't been talking aboput him in the media yet so he is at least 2 to 3 weeks away.
Reply:NO HES TOO FAT!!!!!!!!! just kidding i wish i was half as fit and talented as him he will get back but probably via Box Hill

Do you think Hawthorn will play Geelong in the Grand Final?
For those people who follow the AFL do you think that the hawks will play geelong in the grand final this year?
Do you think Hawthorn will play Geelong in the Grand Final?
Geelong vs West coast.
Hawks to prelim final.
I hate to say it but hawks are playing some good footy.
Reply:No
Reply:No, I think Geelong will play either West Coast or Sydney.
I dont think the Hawks are quite good enough yet.
Reply:yep or maybe the umps will get the interstaters across the line again
Reply:hell no
hawks are rubbish
Reply:No, I don't even think Hawthorn will make the GF. There good, but not that good.
Reply:geelong-west coast i would think.
my friend goes for geelong and thinks that they will chock in the finals.
Reply:nah - i think it will be
geelong v collingwood
OR
geelong v port
Reply:No, i don't think Hawthorn have what it takes this season to go all the way. While they have a few good stars, they also have too many skinny second tier players that can't compete with the variety that other sides have. I think they need another year at least.
I think West Coast will pull through again. They are just getting used to playing with a full midfield again, and with hansen back and the defence firming up again, it's the first time all year they are looking really damaging.
Reply:As much as it pains to say, Hawthorn wont be there this year I think Geelong will make it, and then there are a few teams all vying for the other spot. I do think Hawthorn are part of that group, but I don't think they will make it.
Reply:I originally though West Coast - Geelong grand final but after seeing West Coast play yesterday they just don't have what it takes. I say Geelong vs Port. Geelong to win
Reply:as the everyday hawks fan i do hope so, however as per usual with me the team i support will have a twist of fate and end up playing one bad game and be knocked out of the finals series n the semis round.
Actually you now see sam mitchell is brownlow fav?.. how cool is that been a while since the hawks have had a brownlow contender... sweet
Reply:I'd like to say yes, but I doubt it. Maybe next year. They are playing good footy, but from their game against the Kangaroos last week, I don't think that they are experienced enough to play in the GF. They will probably get to the prelim finals if they make top 4.

What happened to Collingwood against Hawthorn today?
Did they just suffer their usual Colliwobbles as soon as a bit of pressure went on - or did they just fold %26amp; throw in the towel?
I didn't see the game but I was so glad to see the result that they got absolutely flogged.
I just love it when those girl's blouses cop a shellacking!

Collingwood do run hot %26amp; cold %26amp; it looks like they were cold yesterday.
And we all know what cold pies are like!
Reply:collingwood are normally an exitiing team to watch but the hawks were just far to good today... it was upsetting to see travis cloke and paul medhurst not being dominent on the score bord as they usually are... and without the big number 23 up there its goinbg to be harder for them to get alot of goals... also dale thomas didnt have a very good game and the hawks took the advantage of all of the collingwood losses...?!!
Reply:Collingwood just really suck this year. they all have diseases and all they really care about is staying pretty and not sweating up a storm. i dont know how they are still in the top 8 with their disarsterous game. Didak was no-were to be seen throughout the match, making like two appearances. Medhhurst played good last week coz he wanted a medal, Thomas was probably shitting himself thinking that the nasty shark was guna get him, wakelin was just too tired, Brown was scared of Franklin, Burns was so not in form, Cloke was running away from the ball every time it got near him and Heath Shaw couldnt kick! Lockyer, Pendlebury, Swan and O'bree were the best on field that day. everyone else SUCKED! i ask myself this- WHY AM I A COLLINGWOOD SUPPORTER!? Boo Hoo!
Reply:They got stitched up pretty bad, hey. It's always hard to tell how collingwood are going to go because of the media talking them up every year but i really don't think they are too flash this year, hawthorn are the real deal though, that's for sure, made my mind up today, changed up a gear and it was over in a flash.
Reply:Hawthorn were just too good
I luv watching the Collingwood supporters when they get flogged. Unfortunately they didn't show Eddie but they did show the guy without his crappy jacket.
Reply:I don't know.
But whatever happened Mick Malthouse will have several reasons %26amp; excuses outlining how Collingwood were hard done by.

Is the herb Hawthorn safe to take with Ginsana and other herbal remedies?
It's been working well to lower blood pressure and regulate heartbeat, but does it interract with other herbs like ones to help control diabetes?
Is the herb Hawthorn safe to take with Ginsana and other herbal remedies?
Hawthorn is quite safe. I've not found any interactions. It is a coronary vasodilator, antispasmodic, anti-hypertensive, adaptogen, diuretic, sedative to nervous system, cholesterol %26amp; mineral solvent. It's just what you need.
But Ginsana is Korean Ginseng. It is more suited to men than women. Can cause hyperactivity in children. Not used in cases of high blood pressure or in menopause. Not taken for more than 1 month continuously.
There are better herbs for diabetes -- Goat's Rue, Dandelion, Fenugreek, Cinnamon, Bay leaf and others.
Reply:first of all,if you are a patient of cardiac ailments you should follow the three simple steps-
1-get ur lipid profile done.
2-reduce salt intake
3-do light excercises daily/reduce weight.
More over the safety and tolerability of this herb havent been established even in any proving.but yes in homeopathy you can there are cerainly some medicines like crategous ox.Q for improving the strength of heart/rauwlfia serpentinaQ 5 drops twice daily for maintaining a good blood pressure.
but dont depend on herbs and medicines only to keep your heart going.The above three are more important .
Reply:Hawthorne is safe in combination with any other supplements or meds. It is a gentle and safe tonic that can be taken over a long period of time to strengthen all cardiovascular conditions safely.

Reply:To make a thick hedge,plant a double row,staggered some 455mm to 610mm apart.
Slope the plants at about thirty degrees and the side growths will grow vertically and make the hedge more dense.
Suggest taking out a trench,breaking up the subsoil and working in well rotted manure or compst.

Should the Hawthorn Football Club change the colours and design of there football jumpers ?
I have always supported the Hawks, but seriously there brown and gold playing strip ugh! Do you think the colours deter younger people from becoming supporters, I would like to see a playing strip similiar to the NRL wests tigers with a big aggresive claws out Hawk I realise this breaks tradition but I think its time to move on.
Your thoughts and comments please.
Should the Hawthorn Football Club change the colours and design of there football jumpers ?
I've always kind of liked the Hawthorn strip with white shorts but not with either brown or gold shorts as they've tried a few times. It's also a strip with a proud tradition and I think we need to be careful of losing that from our game.
Yeah by all means have an alternative jumper with an aggressive design like that ... but keep the original too. I think Rugby League has made a mistake in the chase for cash by losing the traditional strips of many clubs.
PS you'll have trouble getting 'claws' ... they're called "talons" on a bird of prey but I know what you mean :-)
Reply:I don't like the colours but have to say that they are original, after all would you prefer blue and white or red and white (like every second club).
Agree about the aggressive claws, stripes just don't cut it anymore. I think the reason for them in the first place was cause they were easy to machine but nowadays we can do anything so there is no excuse.
PS try submitting this in Australian Rules for a wider response.
Reply:How can you say you are a hawks supporter when you knock their strip, there are worse in the AFL.
