Things that don’t surprise me about the Box Hill Hawks:
All three games up for grabs: Port lead Footscray 22-13 in the third, Saints 12-8 over FCFC in the second, and the Hawks lead Willy 3-0 just minutes into their game. Never stop wasting your chances, Hawks.
Dom Carbone kicks her second goal with 8 minutes left. Dogs trail 32-36. Huge for the ladder if the Dogs steal this one.
FCFC have also crept within a goal vs the Saints (20-25).
Hawks lead Willy 10-3. Mostly down the Willy end this quarter. They keep dropping marks in set shot range.
Haven’t checked the wind, but Casey lead the Cats 17-0 early on.
Dogs do their less-than-a-goal-loss thing. Worst possible result: Port get the premiership points, but Dogs are not a pushover come round 14.
Casey goal on the run a second before the end of the first quarter: in Geelong, they lead Geelong 3.6.24 - 0.0.0! Probably against some wind, too. I feel pretty smug right now, having called that Cats would miss the finals from top of the ladder.
Saints lead FCFC 32-20 late in the third quarter. The problem is one of FCFC and the Cats are likely to limp into sixth place.
Willy need to beat the Hawks today to combat that. At halftime they trail 3-10 at Box Hill City Limits.
Geelong camera operator just knocked the camera and said S.H.I.T.
They also keep sniffling.

Never stop wasting your chances, Hawks…
(My model said Hawks would win this; my manual pick said Willy would.)
Eek. Back to 21-20 Willy’s way, with 13 minutes left.
And Willy can’t count, and give up the 5-6-5 centre clearance.
