Not going to happen. Crows will chew us up and spit us out.
No Langford = no key forward
DKP did you select embrace mediocrity in the poll?
Iâm not going to be resultist.
Results donât matter this year. Neither does game plan, or team selection, or team balance, or game day tactics.
All that matters, is that we improve standards. And we donât even need to show any signs of that improvement, we just need to hear that theyâve improved.

Iâd also like the transcript to record the poor umpiring during the game.

Hawthorn have had a good list manager.

Looks like we lost it in the first quarter. Missing game 0 didnât help . Looked rusty and slippery

Okay weâre off by 4 goals against a Top 6 side (maybe theyâre even better than that).
Itâs not disastrous.
NowâŚhow do we bridge that gap ?
There isnât much ready made in the Reserves to bring in.
SEH is 1.
We hope our draftees improve throughout the year, and then hit the Draft again, unless we can snare that guy from the West for a reasonable price.

how is it a silver lining when it keeps happening ?
âyoungest side in the compâ Roberts wasnât the cause of this, bryan wasnât the cause of this. tsartas lil bit was, but wasnât the main cause, kako wasnât the main cause, caddy wasnât the main cause.
Shiel was, mcgrath was, mckay was, draper was.
we will be a bottom 4 side most likely, itâs not going to be because of the youth.
Commeth the Edwards.
Or McKay forwards.
We â â â â .
I suppose the thing that sticks out is the effort after quarter time, which, to be frank, was actually pretty good. But you canât be six goals down before you figure it out, you know.
Unfortunately it looks like our toughest opponent every week will once again be the umpires. Always finding ways to kill our momentum. Always finding ways to find bizarre interpretations of 50/50 decisions that favour our opponent 100 percent of the time, every time. But I donât want to give them any more blame than everyone already has. We deal with this godforsaken â â â â every week year after year.
The bottom line is that we are stuck with a half dozen or so players who are not âitâ and have really never been âitâ. Iâm pretty much out of patience with these blokes.
Been on the fence about renewing my 8 game membership⌠right now itâs leaning thumbs down.

Duursma
Caldwell
Merrett
Occassional Draper, Caddy
The rest - holy suffering sheepshit.
Scoreline flatters us.
Lots to work on.
Whatever they been doing at training doesnt register on game day.
Handballs to worse postion
Shepard where is it?
Kick to a lead.
Sideways, slantways, widthways, lengths ways â â â â drives me up the wall
Tackling gotta stickem
Defence lead out infront of your man
Keep a player last line of defence
Keep a player to our goal side of the forward line
Man up.
Enter âThe Messiahâ Edwards.

If we donât look at silver linings and just expect to be belted every week then whatâs the â â â â â â â point of even watching to begin with

Caldwell was our best by a mile then, Merrett then probably Martin but he wasted a fair bit of it.
Langford and Ridley 2 key senior players getting injured mid match isnât helpful for next few weeks.

If Brad Scott had one eighth on one ball, he would call out the umpiring. But he doesnât and he wonât.
