Match Review

Just keep in mind we just played the back-to-back premiers.

Positives:
-1st half endeavour.
-Not getting blown away in the last after they kicked two quickly.
-Smack is a find.
-Z.Merrett continuing to shine.
-J.Merrett good zip/line running/link play.

Negatives

  • Speak for themselves.

Just keep in mind we beat them in round 2 with no pre-season behind us.

Good crowd by the sound of things.

In the rooms with a work promo. Sorry guys but Carlisles ankle is shot

thats horrendous and being the last play of the match makes it worse

Well of course it is.

Ran out of run.
Not enough endurance.
Not physical enough.

Hawthorn think they’re great, but most of the time we gave them the ball.

Great first half
Good last quater.
Gleeson’s best game.

Very encouraging. Some below-par performances, but overall, a general lift in the whole team. Ball movement was miles better. Bodes well for the games coming up.

Oh - and gagf’d all the farkin losers on here with their farkin crap negativity.

Yep - some of the posters here should be ashamed of themselves. Always negative.

Club is down and what some blitzers want to do is stick the boot in. Just fark off.

Good crowd by the sound of things.

Bombers home game?

Postive signs in first half, all fell away in the 2nd

Ultimately you just knew the class and experience of the Hawks would win out.

Too many mistakes by us, skills and decision making has cost us all year.

We were carrying largely 5 ineffective players in:

  • NOB
  • Edwards
  • Kav
  • Winders (underdone)
  • Joe (liability in front of goal)

And Watsons output significantly down albeit with large periods of the game fwd.

Postives.

Zerrett great game.
Carlisle looked a lot better and plenty of it
Smack did really well

We badly need Hocking, Myers and Zaka back.

All our left footers are so predictable and always turn back to get onto their left side thus wasting precious seconds allowing the fowards to lose any advantage they had over their opponent. Our right footers aren’t that flash either!

Btw the boys seen happy. Lots of smiles and chats. It appears they believe today was a step in the right direction
Yep, give it a couple of weeks and a few returning players and I'd strongly suggest we can return to the mediocrity of the last few years and put this poor patch behind us.
If today was our line in the sand game, we've stepped over it and headed toward bottom four. And perhaps we need to get some good draft picks. And we don't have to tank but just maybe the f'ing AFL will fine us for that as well.

this years a write off after the wada thing
happy to tank the rest of the year
this weeks effort was much better imo
Mitchell - why give the maggots an excuse to give them another free kick

Very encouraging. Some below-par performances, but overall, a general lift in the whole team. Ball movement was miles better. Bodes well for the games coming up.

the club may be down, but babying them and giving them participation rewards for turning up, does nothing but condition them that that kind of performance is ok, when it’s ultimately not.

you and others want to be delusional that’s fine, but you’re ultimately apart of the problem, not the solution, just remember that.

I love Zerrett and Jerrett

So Goodard has regressed since crossing over?

That’s not a desirable outcome.

Godard was superb today.

No he wasn’t.

No one broke Mitchell. Says it all

Most hated player in the league for me … Used to have so much respect for him now I want us to hunt him every game for the rest of his career

Son in law is a trainer for the dawks when they are in tassie, he said Mitchell is the most arrogant flog he has ever met…,embarrassed to call him a Dawks player

Commentators were loving it. Dwayne russels the biggest flog. "Bending it back, snap around the body" is pretty much all he says for the 2 hours
Dwayne, Eddie & Dermi... the pukefest trifecta

Where are we going to find a half back flanker with elite pace, and neat disposal???

Oh That’s right we have one in the VFL

Merret brothers. Well done.

People express themselves differently.

If there’s ever a good time to go coco-bananas, this is it.

People will calm down after a while.
