AFL2015 – Round 17

Carlton’s match: four goals. Hawks: five, eight, seven, seven: Each quarter a flood. Haw: 173 (27, 11) Car: 35 (4, 11)

37 – 2 With a first quarter like that, Sydney had no chance. Haw 146 (23, 8) Syd 57 (7, 15)

This match was touted as a Grand Final Preview. Here’s hoping it was. Haw: 115 (17, 13) Free: 43 (6, 7)

Three, Four, Nine, and Ten. At each break we crept ahead. A fright in the fourth. Haw 101 (15, 11) Coll 91 (12, 19)

In the second half we kicked seventy-six points. The Dons’ match total. Haw 114 (16, 18) Ess 76 (11, 10)

For eighty minutes they threw everything at us. That last quarter though… Haw 114 (17, 12) Adl 85 (12, 13)

Boost our percentage. Win by ten and a half goals. Still outside the four. Haw 132 (20, 12) StK 69 (10, 9)

They say young Abblett is worth 5 goals to the Suns. They still would have lost. Haw: 93 (14, 9) GCS: 40 (6, 4)

It took two quarters to undo our lazy first. We still lost by four. Syd 73 (11, 7) Haw 69 (9, 15)

You don’t lose matches when you kick 24 goals. Sorry, Melbourne fans. Haw 155 (24, 11) Mel 50 (7, 8)
