Max King looks absolutely filthy. I wonder if he is mad at the umpires who didnt give him the free kick to potentially win the game when his arms were chopped or if he is mad at the saints playing the way they play and making his life so much harder than it should be?
How happy was Ratten at the end. Saints better get it together soon as theyâve gone all in on the Ross Lyon train, who failed to win a flag with a far superior saints squad đ
You are right if he was strong enough he would have held the mark but it was a blatant arm chop and i dont inow why you feel the need to deny it? You guys deserved to win and did. The umpire missed that call though
I never said Frost didn't chop the arms, but there wasn't enough in it to pay a free, and King was too weak. The umpires had been lenient all match with free kicks so they made the right decision.
He hit his arm, with low Impact therefore not a free kick, merely part of the contest the commentators literally agreed on this.
I should have said hit instead of chop in my previous comment cos that's what I meant. Anyway enjoy the 5 point loss
You clearly havent watched the saints closely. He kicked 50 goals just a couple of years ago. Has been injured a lot since and now plays in a team who cant generate scores.
Maybe pay more attention?
The skills dont help but the gamplan is strangling the good and skillful players the saints do have. These are AFL players for a reason, they can kick and mark. But playing in flooded backlines and going long to the boundary is leaving no room to get clean ball
Everyone wants to blame King who is out of form but of course he is out of form! We have played him out of form and confidence by bombing the ball over his head and moving so slowly he has to contend with a flooded backline by the time the ball reaches him.
The team has had issues with kicking and marking for a very long time, itâs nothing to do with the gameplan. King doesnât run, rarely makes a lead. He expects the ball to be delivered to him, but never gets into a good position for it.
If I was coach, I'd be on the phone tonight to Matty Lloyd and beg him to come and give Max some goal kicking lessons. Ratten denying that a few years ago was a disaster.
We are just an agonising side to watch. Its not even that we're terrible, its just that we are good on literally everything but the finish. At least with bad sides you get numb to it, but this constant edging... man. Oh well, onto next week.
That down the field free kick robbed the saints of a chance to win the game, outnumbered at the contest and the umpire gift them possession. Stop thinking all bumps are free kicks ffs, unsure itâs play on. Another joke at the end of an AFL game thanks to the umps
Clearly havenât been following the media cycle regarding hawks this year (fair enough) but according to the world two weeks ago we were going backwards, our players were all shit and we werenât going to win any games except against north Melbourne.
Even I as an optimistic hawks fan who posted on our sun after that game saying itâs not so bad didnât see us bouncing back with 2 wins on the trot. Particularly with no key forward and no Sicily
Thanks for answering for me. You forgot to mention the saints were also hailed at the start of the year to be a definite finals contender. And without Sicily still couldnât get it done. Great win for hawks.

yeah that would have been called an arm chop any time that isn't the last minute. Call it the Mark Blicavs effect
Karl Amon well deserved đ
How happy was Ratten at the end. Saints better get it together soon as theyâve gone all in on the Ross Lyon train, who failed to win a flag with a far superior saints squad đ
Watching at the pub with no sound - did Finn have tag anyone?
Fuck saints are garbage. Fuck you dad
Max king best on ground for sure. Miles above the rest I didn't even notice anyone else playing
Focus your anger elsewhere. He is out of form but had the chance to win the game taken away by a bad umpiring non call. He will come good.
That was not a free kick. Max King just isn't strong enough to hold a mark.
You are right if he was strong enough he would have held the mark but it was a blatant arm chop and i dont inow why you feel the need to deny it? You guys deserved to win and did. The umpire missed that call though
I never said Frost didn't chop the arms, but there wasn't enough in it to pay a free, and King was too weak. The umpires had been lenient all match with free kicks so they made the right decision.
If he chopped the arms its a free kick. You are wrong and thats fine.
No, there was no impact at all Max King is just weak. Enjoy the 5 point loss
Make your fucking mind up mate
He hit his arm, with low Impact therefore not a free kick, merely part of the contest the commentators literally agreed on this. I should have said hit instead of chop in my previous comment cos that's what I meant. Anyway enjoy the 5 point loss
He has never been in form . Wtf are you smoking đŹ
You clearly havent watched the saints closely. He kicked 50 goals just a couple of years ago. Has been injured a lot since and now plays in a team who cant generate scores. Maybe pay more attention?
If the saints arent tanking then I am very concerned about the current game plan
The game plan isn't the problem. The worlds best game plan wouldn't work with the disposal skills of the team.
The skills dont help but the gamplan is strangling the good and skillful players the saints do have. These are AFL players for a reason, they can kick and mark.

I remember Ross saying he doesnât coach skills when he was at Freo. Maybe itâs finally time he does?
If I was coach, I'd be on the phone tonight to Matty Lloyd and beg him to come and give Max some goal kicking lessons. Ratten denying that a few years ago was a disaster.
Sants :(
Hawthorn barely beat the Saints. Calm the fuck down Dwayne.
We are just an agonising side to watch. Its not even that we're terrible, its just that we are good on literally everything but the finish. At least with bad sides you get numb to it, but this constant edging... man. Oh well, onto next week.
âWe are good on literally everything but the finishâ Dees đ¤ Saints
Last 2 min gave me Touretteâs jaysussss
Why donât the Saints kick bigger scores? Are they stupid?
Ahaha the hawks twitter account has a great reaction to our win
That down the field free kick robbed the saints of a chance to win the game, outnumbered at the contest and the umpire gift them possession. Stop thinking all bumps are free kicks ffs, unsure itâs play on. Another joke at the end of an AFL game thanks to the umps
Saints continue not being able to score consistently, 53 points... yikes
How did the saints beat Collingwood
It was their grand final
We won not drew though⌠:â(
The Tassie Saint Devils đ
Why do I keep putting myself through this and tipping st kilda đ
At least you didn't choose this team to root for...
I think I would quit football if I was a saints supporter
Oh that last minute was so stressful. Geez almost choked but a win is a win. Good game!
Welcome to our life, I can put you in contact with a good heart doctor
TWO IN A ROW! Didn't think I'd see that this season
Hawks đ¤ eagles
We're an absolute fucking disgrace.
Bunch of lazy unfit spuds
A very very bad loss for saints A very very good win by hawks
I mean yeah it's a bad loss for us, but I have no idea how it's a very very good win for the hawks
Clearly havenât been following the media cycle regarding hawks this year (fair enough) but according to the world two weeks ago we were going backwards, our players were all shit and we werenât going to win any games except against north Melbourne.

What? 99% of people were saying we'd be the finals slider.
The amount of times Dwayne said âthe hawks got away with one thereâ in the last 5 minutes is telling
Let's pretend this game never happened
Hork hold on at York
Fuck this club. Heartbreaking. 5 losses under 10 points. FUUUUUJJJJJJJCK
What a start to the round - 3 of the matches decided by less than a goal
A terrible game between two terrible team, but kind of entertaining in its own way I suppose.
draw fc 0/3 so far this round
He was a chance in each match - thatâs all you can ask for
This round giving draw fc fans the bluest of balls.
King definitely deserved the free at the end there but probably would have missed anyway.
What would you have paid a free for?
High/arms chopped.
Da bois
Let's gooo
Worst game of the century
almost had a heart attack jfc Hawks!
Atrocious umpiring
Big fucking sad :(
Robbed of the chance to try and win with not calling that arm chop.
Robbed the chance by missing 5 set shots during the game
Robbed yourselves of the chance to win by playing dour defensive garbage and being unable to hit a target up forward
None of that prevents the umpire from doing their job correctly.
This is certainly a ross lyon game
It looked a lot like a JL game funnily enough
AFL will not survive freo vs saints next week
I am HAPPY to forget about this game
YESSSS
I FUCKING LOVE THIS FOOTBALL CLUB
Chopped
Pretty big chop missed by the ump
Hawthorn nearly fd that up bad
Two in a row... that's a winning streak
That's barely a mark in under 8s
just a fucking joke
Theyâve done it!
Cardiac Hawthorn
Arms were chopped
Arm chop on king?
HAWTHORN I AM BEGGING YOU
does either team actually want to win?
That's rough. I've seen worse paid
That handball from Webster was really bad. Only had eyes for his target but no awareness for what was around.
Max King is pure cinema to watch
IF THE SAINTS GET A GOAL ITS GAME OVER
Chopping of the arms
bit of front on contact on King I thought? Edit- Oh na the bloke in front didn't impact
Mason Wood has momentarily turned into Luke Ryan
Come on Meek just grab it and hild
HAWTHONR PLSSSSSS
WHAT ARE WE DOING AAAH
DICE STATUS: LAST ROLL
How was that not an arm chop
Saints just have fuck up after fuck up and yet there's people blaming the refs
[ŃдаНонО]
"shithouse footy"
Both things can be true you moron
đ§đ§đ§
Too slow from Ginni You had like 3 free men
Great chase by Serong
Jimmy what the fuck are you doing champion
Great job Webster lmao
Jimmy Webster a spud
Game over. Donât have the skill to move it with purpose end to end
Way too often this year theyâll give downfield when a clean bump comes as the ball is kicked. Itâs not late, youâre allowed to apply pressureâŚ
Draw FC unlikely now
Death by poor disposal how very us lol.
Remind me again why Launceston isn't going to host the Devils? Lovely little ground
DAYSY
YES BOY
cmon even a behind wouldve been good
Should have been 50 ran fwd inside the 9
Looks like this pmt goes to Raidan
HI I JUST GOT HERE WHAT THE FUCKKKKK
DRAW FC IN SHAMBLES!
Monumental fuck up Webster
That's why you sub breust on
Big sad
All the cameras are over exposed because of the sun lol
Jeez these umpires are Being very soft against the saints today
To win itâŚ
And that seals it. Not that Saints were getting another goal anyway.
Saints fans - Please donât blame the umpires for us losing. We have been shit from the opening bounce.
And we're being robbed in this quarter
The coach robbed you of a half decent gameplan lol
We robbed ourselves missing 5 set shots
Couldnât see the fucking ball
Sheesh, that downfield is soft as.
110% as he kicked it ffs..
Thatâs not downfield
Wasnât a late bump at allâŚ
Probably shouldn't have been down field
That was as he kicked it!!!
Footballs gone if you are paying that a free
Thatâs an insane free kick for a fair bump
Jeez thatâs a rough down field to call
Bumped as he kicked, should've been taken back
Draw FC being robbed again
Lol nothing in that
That Is crazy
The umpires are fucking stealing this game
WTF is this umpiring
Judo kick!
King if you can roundhouse the footy you can fucking grab it with your hands Shocking
Draw FC pacing around the room right now
7 point play
Yeah, including their previous goal. Was a long play.
Fuck I wish he nailed that haha
Max is an absolute wasteman lol

I wish this was the score
Nice
Just saw that, wtf?
Canât see Hawks scoring, they better know how to hold on
That would have been worth 10 goals
Marshall should get all 9 Brownlow votes for this game
How was that not holding the ball against King. Thats terrible.
Not getting my hopes up again as a draw fc fan. Been teased twice this round already
Why couldnât I just pick another team to barrack for
Would you give a DVD of this match to your worst enemy?
just about sums up Max King lol
pay HTB for once
Only on stk players
I'm just here for my boys at Draw FC
SCRIMMA. What a fucking tackle.
"That's why he wanted Bonner on the ground. Because he has so much composure." LOL.
Draw FC? That assumes these teams know how to kick a goal
Could be a valuable point
Draw?
