Thanks for the opportunity these 8 years on the Boundary Friday nights. Unfortunately I have to tender my resignation. It was fun #AFLHawksSwans #Armageddon

Absolutely stunning week after week the lack of holding the balls Hawthorn receive.#AFLHawksSwans

Forget Salmon/Ablett, I’m all about Gunston/Ronke #AFLHawksSwans

@7AFL Quick question; if a Friday night game ends in a tie, who’s club room does BT roam? ð¤ð¤ð¤ #AFLHawksSwans
— Michael Attaliotis (@MAttaliotis95) May 11, 2018
All time shootouts... Ablett v Salmon, Carey v Lloyd, Ronke v Gunston... #AFLHawksSwans

How good is it having two good teams playing on a Friday night? Great game so far and good skills considering the conditions. #AFLHawksSwans
— Akash Fotedar (@akashfotedar5) May 11, 2018
See @AFL this is what happens when you have teams not named Carlton on Friday night. An absolute cracking game of footy! #AFLHawksSwans
— Perry Cunningham (@pezzanator1) May 11, 2018
Pleasing to see the famous Swans number 25 goal scoring legacy continues on to the next player. #AFLHawksSwans

That Burgoyne tackle was special #AFLHawksSwans
— Paul Blake (@PaulBlakeCW) May 11, 2018
Is holding the ball only applicable if Sydney is the tackler? #AskingForAFriend #AFLHawksSwans

How impressive are these two clubs? Continually at the pointy end. No tanking for draft picks. Just continually refreshing and changing the game via great coaches. #AFLHawksSwans

Well done to both teams for fronting up & producing a quality game. It sucks that our boys didn’t get over the line but as always Sydney brought their best. If tonight got anyone talking about mental health, it was a success. @HawthornFC #GameFaceOn #AFLHawksSwans #BeyondBlueCup
