The award-winning Crunch Time. Crunch Time. There you go at it. Spills to McDonald on a dime. Snap and a goal. Connor McDonald. C-Mac. One down to Mackenzie Watson for a miraculous snap around the corner.
What are the highlights from the latest games in Round 16?
If one man can do it, the wizard can. Almost goes out the bag and then Watson. Somehow. He was running hard, he actually threw his boot at it and kicked the goal. Found a wedge off Marbier. Scholl has put out one paw and dragged down the kick in. In he comes, just to settle things down for the Hawks here, Marbier. It's a slow walk in, oh he loves it.
With the head wrapped up, after a tough night, he's kicking on the siren. Hawks win, they've won four of their past five and it's their tenth win of the season. and solidify their position towards the top of the ladder.
We got some of our game right, we didn't get other parts of our game right, so it all contributes, but we didn't handle that adversity as well as what we could have, and they were good enough to capitalise.
If you look at our season 2025, we didn't play many bad games, but we couldn't quite beat the best, and when you watch us against the best sides, we just looked... just like a second tier team. We're closer than we were.
How are injuries affecting team performance this season?
Yeah, I feel like we're more competitive against the best this season than we have been in the past. And we've given ourself a chance for that to matter.
Hawthorne moves clear in third position and picks up the chase of the runaway leaders. While the Giants are on the edge of oblivion, obliterated at stoppage and in the grip of injury. Logan Morris bends it. So he started off his line, but he kicked it on his line, according to... No, it's not allowed. It has been disallowed. The umpire stood behind. He ran off his line, according... To the umpire.
Wow.
We have just tied ourselves in knots over something that used to be straightforward.
It'd be good to get some clarity on it. Because the learning for Logan might be, well, if you ever get another shot on goal... And the siren's gone.
What strategies are teams using to improve their standings?
Maybe you've just got to go straight back and kick over the hands on the mark so there's no doubt that you've done the right thing.
As I said, I haven't got a definitive call on whether Andrew made the right decision in terms of whether he made it to the mark or not. But I think the rule's relatively clear.
The disastrous sequence of events surrounding shots after the siren plays out at the Gabba as the AFL plunges one of the game's most thrilling scenarios into chaos.
Personally, that is something I haven't considered purely because my mandate right now is to help this football club grow and I haven't lifted my eyes to consider that.
Yeah, I still haven't thought about it. My position hasn't sort of changed in that space. While I'm focused on the role I'm in at the moment, the interim role, I've got to sort of keep my eyes down in that space. But there's a lot of reports going on and a lot of conversation around myself. But right here, right now, inside my bubble, I'm just sort of focused on what I need to focus on.
You know, the rubber hits the road now. And, you know, as I said before, I've been on record as saying we've had a number of, you know, exploratory discussions over the last 12, 18 months.
And the vacant coaching landscape progresses as Essendon appoint an in-house panel to run its appointments, which will include James Heard. This is the Round 16 edition of Crunch Time.
Hawthorne and Brisbane are our winners so far in round 16.
