Disgusting effort by full time professionals.
Hawthorns opening goal was as bad a decision as you could ever see in a final. Well since they gifted them last years prelim win.
Nothing to do with Mayne missing a sitter or Freo not getting the ball forward of centre for the last half the quarter
That didn't help but even in your brown and gold goggles you could see that. If you were umpiring you wouldn't have paid the first one against Ballantyne. As Carey said "Umpire had a mare and got caught up in the occasion"

I'm no quack but if fyfe has a fracture isn't that a break seriously he dead set can't run kudos to him for being out there. Although if he took it into the game then not good by the heirachy..
