Not wanting to play devils advocate here (lord knows I hate the little twerp as much as anyone), but consider what we would've wanted Ratts to do if we were playing Lloyd on 99. I think it's safe to say we'd want him to have to beat 18 opponents in that case

Hear hear, I left the game thinking 'what bad sports' are clarkson and the dawks. They had the game iced up at half time - the only interest was whether Fev would get the ton, and they didn't play to the script, and be part of history!!!

I really hope they go out of the finals in straight sets this year, Buddy, Hodge, Mitchell all do their knees or ping their hamstrings!!!

Completely different scenario...you are talking about Lloyd there.


Nah...it was about the theatre of the sport.

Two players going for 100 goals in the same game...last game of the year. It's not as if we were going to put a dent in hawthorn's lead. And Fev could still have been beaten.

99 goals seems more Warnesque than Bradmanesque......

If the situation was reversed and we were 80 points up, 2nd on the ladder and finals bound if would care less about Monga kicking a 100.

I'm not saying they should have handed it to Fev on a plate but I would have liked Clarkson to say...... okay open up the D50 and lets see Fev beat Croady 1 on 1 if he is good enough.

Regards Cazzesman

From a dodgy free kick. Pity Ian Aitken isn't an umpire.

@#$%&! dog act by hawthorn throwing that extra man down back + triple teaming him whenever the ball came through, even rushing a behind when there so far infront
i have lost all respect for hawthorn.

You had respect for Hawthorn?
From their ridiculous President to their dirty flower coach, dirty players, knobend recruiting manager, there isn't anything to respect there..

chance bateman danced around on the siren like they had won by a point in a thriller

the whole hawthorn club can go to hell

it was clearly a key point for them - DONT LET FEV GET 100

and the umpires

well flower them too

he had his chances , i feel for him

but fev is a better sport than the lot of em

flowers

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

Clarkson( Ian Aitken basher) is a self opinionated piece of excrement. To flood back in those circumstances bespeaks a person who deserves done to him that which he did to Aitken.

I booed Hayden Kennedy from the ground. He laughed and smiled. If Darryl Hair did that sort of stuff in a Test Match it would be an international incident.

Good on ya Fev. You've given me great enjoyment week in week out for so many years.

Feel sorry for Fevola, probably for he first time. Feel the players put in their worst performance for the year, saved their worst for when they needed to lift for one of their best players. Watching the team try and get the ball up the ground was painful. Stevens once again left it al to Judd. I know Stevens is not a true inside/hard player, but he’s just got to do more. Too often this year he has done too little through large parts of games. His man Bateman destroyed him at times the other way. And what of Simpson? How far has this guy gone backward this year? Hardly sighted tonight I thought. Bentick and Fisher just not up to it. The latter’s inability to stamp himself of games is just not good enough, and his defensive work is unacceptable. I would trade Fisher and Bentick for picks if any were on offer.

WE HAVE TO BEAT THIS WEE AND POO COLOURED TEAM god damnit


very unsportsmanlike of clarkson there was no way carlton could win buddy had the coleman medal already around his neck why not let the supporters have fun and run on the field not once BUT TWICE in one game

putting that extra man back was SHOCKING

i actually only had respect for bateman, but no longer!

What I said on the Fevola - Countdown to 100 thread says it in spades ...

Such a shame that he kicked 7.3 instead of 8.2 ... still, I'll see how the game went later ...

Oh well. There's always next year.

Nup, sorry. He might not be a player, but it is still Clarkson we hate.

I hate Buddy.

Great talent and player, but a primadonna and cocky bastard who was looking for free kicks.

Wouldn't feel sorry for Buddy and Hawthorn if someone cleaned him up with a fair bump and hurt him.

He has serious tickets on himself and doesn't show his opponents any respect and carry himself like Kernahan did.

A shame his kicking will probably cost Hawthorn a big one.

Spot on Caz. I thought it was a really poor call. It sets the orner stone of a rivalry. They clearly cannot ask for any favours now! In fact it puts them up there with the filth and the scum.

Excellent - some more MUST WIN games.

Remember Ian Aitkin!
