NatMac on the left follows my advice to kick the goal before the ump found a new free.
We can improve on today; once again we topped out around 20 disposals, and there were some notably quiet people today: CBomb, Clifford, Anthony.
Tierney and Frew only had one goal between them, but also had 25 disposals.
Ashley-Cooper was a rock today, Nalder is bossing the hit-outs and filling gaps down back, loved Hosking’s aggression, Nattie got her second three-goal haul, Barba was at every single contest in that last quarter.

In 14 rounds of H&A we kept our opponents scoreless in 19 quarters (13 quarters across 12 games, if you ignore hapless Footscray).
Today we held a 12-1-1 team scoreless for 3 quarters.
For about 70 of the 80 minutes we basically did not let Hawthorn have consecutive un-pressured disposals. That’s not easy; we are not the team we are because we have a few flashy mids and forwards, but because of a whole-of-team committment to defence.
Not to say the Hawks didn’t go hard: they had 89 tackles to our 83, but given we had 26% more disposals they were moreso the reactive ones.
