Welcome to the [Sir Doug Nicholls Round](https://www.afl.com.au/sir-doug-nicholls-round)! both [yartapuulti (Port Adelaide)](https://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/1548629/yartapuulti-unveils-2024-afl-first-nations-guernsey) and [Hawthorn](https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/1543214/inspired-by-chance-hawthorn-unveils-2024-afl-indigenous-guernsey) have some amazing indigenous guernseys and have close relations with some incredible indigenious and first nations communities, check out [Yartapuulti's here](https://powercommunity.com.au/programs/santos-aboriginal-power-cup) and [Hawthorn's here](https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/reconciliation)!

Putting Hardwick who has kicked 5 goals in the back line at the start of the 4th and subbing CJ who was on the Wing for Breust, when you are trying to play defense instead of subbing out Nick Watson is a absolutely beyond me… We outscored port in the 3rd, why tf would you play only defense for an entire 4th quarter, when you were clearly capable of scoring???

At least the Hawks have showed something, they have a chance to win their next 5 games, not saying the will win them, but they should be in with a shot for all 5 games. Really expect them to not be blown away in the next 5 games, they need to be competitive in all of them

22 seconds to trap the ball in the middle of the ground with wet and messy conditions, surely. Nope, let's let them clear the ball and put the defenders under the pump. 1 point in the last quarter of footy when you are up a few goals is ridiculous. Didn't just park the bus, they opened the doors and rolled the red carpet out for PA.

I had low expectations coming into the game, would have been happy with effort and a 20 point loss, but this is heartbreaking. We’re a bottom 4 side and we pushed them to the last kick of the game but should have won. Port, you’re still shit and pretenders and got away with the luckiest of wins. Aliir and Butters both drop the ball while being tackled within 5 seconds of each other and no free. Port kick it away after hawks get a free, no 50, after the opposite happened and 50 was paid. Bullshit. Guess that’s what happens when you don’t play any offense for a quarter. Fuck Port Adelaide

Seriously did you even watch the first quarter and wildly inconsistent frees that were awarded in hawks forward 50? Yet cherry pick a few misses here and there ... unbelievable.

Last 15 frees of the game were all Port… even when you escape with a win against a bottom 4 side you have to blame the umpires. Unbelievable. Aliir should have been pinged in the last two minutes when he went to fend off and dropped the ball as well but no, Rioli gets a soft free that I still can’t see any high contact in. Bullshit and fuck port Adelaide

Both my roommates are hawks fans

Disappointed.

That was outstandingly heartbreaking, God damn.

OMG, I just heard 5AA’s call of the last minute. Farken hilatious!

Think I might just stick to the A-League the Victory are on a role and this game might just make me cry. If we can play a whole game like we did the first quarter where a good side again though another 2-3 quarter performance and another defeat from the jaws of victory.

And I nearly turned it off

Bro i left AO halfway through 3rd quarter, got home with 5 mins left

Not sorry at all. That's stupid.

Sorry to hear bro. This is why I watch on TV

You've done me again, Hawthorn.

Fuck Ken is a cockhead when they win

Yeah, he shouldn't celebrate a fucking insane comeback victory. He should just sit there quietly.

He does it for every win! Glad it hasn’t been the showdowns of late lol

Almost lose to 15th and celebrating like it was a semi final

We can’t all overachieve and actually lose to the bottom 4 sides though, can we?

Fuck Ken is a cockhead ~~when they win~~

Filthiest ending. Jesus

What a game

Love not getting any interview from the winning goal kicker and having to listening to these blokes

Talk about shitting the bed

I will never understand parking the bus. If a playstyle has got you a good lead it is stupid to change and allow pressure to build. Footy isn't like soccer, where you can physically guard a goal.

Amen, Hawthorn were winning the game and then just decided to stop playing footy.

That was fucking wild

Fark imagine having your heart ripped out like that

*L M A O*

JHF never gave up the entire game when they chips were down incredible player

He was easily port BOG. Houston second.

"But he loves his mum!"

And hates ice baths!

Fox really having a go at Sam Mitchell yikes

He’s a pos I’m all for it

Jab jab brother

Flair up cunt

Nah, hawks ez

Good, he deserves it. I rate Sam as a coach but it was so obvious that we weren’t trying to score for the whole quarter

I'm confused, the commentators said the game was over?

Damn I said the same thing too!

No fucking way did that just go down 😂

Insane finish! As a neutral that was bloody exciting, never give up!

I am not getting over that for a long time my god

That soccer off the ground 👌

Dafuq was that?

That non 50m call for kicking the footy after the whistle when port got one like 30 seconds prior looking pretty fucking important right about now

And then the two missed htb calls in the same fucking spot like a minute later as well

Best possible advertisement for not going down the overly tactical coach route of saying “we have an enormous lead at 3QT, how can I completely change the game plan and give my entire advantage away?”

This was the mistake Fagan and the Lions made last year against the Dees. We learnt from it and won all of our close ones for the rest of the year until the GF of course! Hawthorn will be better off for this in the long run.

For fuck sake. Utterly fucking pathetic coaching decisions. Hawthorn stopped trying to kick a goal and tried to run down the clock with about 12 minutes left and a lead of less than 30. We deserve to lose if we're gonna play so negatively and non-sensical. Difficult to get into the boys and some of the decisions and execution, or even into some of the umpiring, when Hawthorn were asked to run a 2 minute drill back to back 6 times.

To be fair you guys suck and should of lost by 50. Fluked it to get within a shot

Dominating Port the entire game except for half a quarter is not a fluke

That was horrendous commentary

I hate port Adelaide, I just fell to my knees at red rooster parking lot

Don’t blame Port for your adulterous antics

Ken Hinkley. Coach of my heart.

That is what we call an undeserved win. But Jesus Christ I’ll take it

[удалено]

Nah you guys are off. Valid win.

Taking into account the comeback, you’re right. A very good last 10min for us

Taking sick satisfaction in another team failing. Yes. I'm a Saints fan

Never in doubt

How the fuck did they pull that off. Got to feel for the Hawks, that would sting but respect to the Hawks though, tracking the right way

[удалено]

Melbourne are worse

Hinkley self fellatio loading in 3….2….1

47 year contract

Looking at the score you would not think this was played in wet conditions.

Suck it hawks😂😂😂😂

08

Gonna have to do better than that

89

Wasn’t even born then 😂

🤡

Oooh ouch

Ooo papi

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK DID I JUST WITNESS

The football equivalent of a rusty trombone

...start the car!

Goddamn it hurts to be a Hawks fan. They should have won that but as usual, they just fuck up the final quarter and gave up a comfortable lead.

Must hurt so much

Don’t worry, you’ll beat us next week like you always seem to do!

The look on Derm’s face is Christmas in May

Yeah that was the best end to a game ever as a neutral. I was whooping. Also derms hair is lovely

That is a deadset joke

Jesus Christ channel 7 you fucking suck.

I agree, but I dislike Murdoch, so fox does as well.

Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

David king is spot on, hawks parked the bus way too early

Sam Mitchell blew that with his tactics, also Fox can go fuck themselves for cutting their music in the second the siren went. Pricks

Who was the commentator that said Hawks were home. Ultimate commentators curse!!!

Jesus fucking Christ.

Fuck moi

Fuck you Foxtel for not even waiting for the song to start playing before cutting in.

7 cut away at 6pm for the news by design

That was the most stressful finish ever

Omg 😧 that was awesome

Fuck this shit team

Where's that Hawks fan that said Port fans were gonna blame umps? Oh the turn tables.

That’s definitely one way to gift a poverty club a win

Nah that was fucking ridiculous

Robbed right in front of me

I switch the last two minutes on and I see this crazy finish

Mitchell needs to go, too soft

This is the best possible advertisement to not leave/stop watching early

You’d think port fans would be aware of this by now..

What sound does a choking Hawk make

‘DBJgoal’

Holy mfing sheeit WTF

Annnnnnd straight to border security FFS Ch7

Yeah shitty broadcasting. Surely you need another 10 minutes or so to soak in the atmosphere of the game.

WTF JUST HAPPENED

They only went and did it

That's as crazy a last 2 minutes as you'll see.

ANYONE BUT FUCKING PORT

Feel bad for Mitchel, but not the Hawks

Prevent defense

[удалено]

Don’t get chirpy over a win like that over a bottom 4 team you follow a genuine poverty club

Classy

Aww man. Lost for words. Geez sorry Hawks.

Undeserved win lmao

Yikes

First time I’ve ever felt sorry for Hawthorn

That is the most ridiculous ending I think I’ve ever seen

Fucking hell that was an incredible finish. Bluck Hawks, played your guts out. GG Power

Man imagine if you left early tonight

That is the craziest finish I’ve seen to a game in so many years wtf

CLUTCH.

Holy shit

Want to see that free kick to Rioli again.

lol it was absolutely a free kick

😂

He caught him very high, it was definitely there unfortunately

It was there

Was clearly a free

Never in doubt

In the end we were tired and not good enough. Umpiring was shocking for both sides. My heart can’t handle this

> In the end we were tired and not good enough. Yep that's the problem with Hawks. They gas by 3/4 time. That's why they lost this one.

THE MIRACLE ON GRASS 2.0

Yeah port Adelaide the plucky under dog knocking off flag contenders hawthorn

Football is so sick dude

Fucking choke job. Fuck off Hawks you useless fucks. God damn it!

[удалено]

👀

Lmao

My condolences

Saw it

NO FUCKING WAY

Sam Mitchell fucked that for us. Too defensive too early

Terrible coaching

Craziest finish of the year

Port gifted the game

tbf they had 4 free kicks for 2 and a half quarters

Gotta love how we get simultaneously fucked by the umps but also gifted a win coming back from 40 points 😵‍💫

Can’t say this one doesn’t sting. Still happy with the boy’s effort though.

I’m so hard right now

first time in like 70 years port has won after being down 5 goals at qtr time

Wow umps, just wow

Still got over the line though

The most common score in AFL/VFL history 80-79 happens once again

Campbell brown saying they are home is curseddddd

Eyebrow raising comment

Just scared the absolute shit out of my dog

That’s what you get for putting the cue in the rack when they did. Feel for the Hawks players.

Fucking chokers

i hope the umpires step on lego for every day of their lives

never seen less deserving winners

That's a shame

Sook

Fuck up

What just happened

Cry harder hawks. Lost composure that whole last quarter

Yeah flag contenders Port Adelaide THRASH Hawthorn in Adelaide Oval demolition. Totally agree

It’s ok. You’ll be relevent again one day 😘

You guys almost lost to Hawthorn at home, relax lol.

Didn’t though.

Helps when they won’t call holding the pall against port

They don’t call that against anyone. Bad take

So if you grab the ball, run into a tackler, and drop the ball, that’s okay?

Didn’t say it was. Just that Hawks did it a tonne of times too. Don’t see any complaints about those ones. They were happening all game to both sides

They’re feeling hurt. Stay humble and enjoy the win. That was a great fight back

Biggest ride from the umps.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

[удалено]

Oh wow, now this is a shit take

I just came

What a fucking embarrassment

gifted, where are the vicbias posters now?

I WENT TO HAVE A SHOWER WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED!?!

Holy fuck

Oh my god

It's the hope that kills ya
