   Hawker response:

   crisp, clean, even cool play
   Danger afield maketh
   mighty Hawks mightier

   Nice work Rick
   Hawks played well
   Only good sides win away
   Gieschen was saying that any push in a marking contest is now illegal
   Not just in the back
   It rubbed salt in the wound when Gunston marked in the goal square a few minutes later and literally shoved (I think it was Otten ) with both hands out of the way
   Both marks should have been paid only one was
   It’s the old cliche we just wanted consistency

   In fairness Adelaide’s response to the decision was very poor. 50 metres – then easy goal – then lose the following centre clearance for another easy goal – all within seconds.

   By contrast the Hawks saw their gift horse and did not look it in the mouth.

   Well before the ridiculous decision against Thompson on Saturday evening there were plenty of Hawks supporters around me at the Peacock Hotel pulling their hair out about the umpiring inconsistency. One or two bad/dumb decisions in the last ten minutes do not a win or loss make. A seemingly unfair decision in the first five minutes has as much weight on the games as any other does. Chin up old boy.

   Dangerfield (love his work) may well have been BOG but the next four best players were Hawks. That’s the Crow’s concern, spreading the workload around, not the umpiring.

   Cheers
