Review Good/Bad/Ugly vs Hawthorn, R6 2023

[jo172]

Bring Pedlar out to Payneham Oval on a Thursday night.

Macca will still have him one on one a couple of times out of ten

 

[Macca48]

Ummmm, just noticed a familiar face - a certain development coach with Hawthorn.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

So just rewatched the first half. The number of times we hand passed straight to a hawthorn player, as if our guys thought they were a team mate.

i reckon it’s that stupid ****ing red guernsey. How often do we wear it? Do the team train with it at all? Because when it came to an instinctive give, we missed the target a lot.

i say burn that ugly red thing. Should be the usual home guernsey or if there’s a clash, the white one. Full stop.

Found myself wishing we had worn the gather round strip. I hate the red strip.

 

[Hate the pear]

Yes, why have games down there if the locals won't show up?



How many attended the Mt. Barker game during the Gather Round?

It was a full house -I hear what you are saying... .. so tassie side out and mount barker to join afl in 2025....

[Punchy Bassett]

i bet we are all glad that we rested Tex and just rocked up to Tassie and got the 4 points easy as

It was ridiculous people were suggesting this last week.

I don't think it was the red guernsey itself, but more how "similar" it was to Hawthorn's yellow and brown.

It was made even worse by how sunny it was. Our blue guernsey would have been way less of a clash.

Never made sense to me that we had to wear a clash against hawthorn of all teams

Yeah it makes no sense.

It was even worse on Sunday with Hawthorn's Anzac round guernsey having a bit of red + even more yellow than usual.

I don't see any colour or design similarities/clashes; white shorts as opposed to dark shorts (black/dark brown?) as well.
Please have a look at the still photo on AFC Home Page --- "last two minutes" video --- the differences are very clear imo.

It might have been that the Hawks players had been instructed to call for the ball (players often react to the direction a voice is coming from) in congestion, when the Crows have the ball.
One of the oldest tricks in the book.

 

[baldandbroke]

I don’t think Soligo had a choice, didn’t look like he did. We really should have been able to kill that contest, we allowed defenders to take way too many marks. We’ve got 3 big blokes up there FFS. That’s why a guy like Gollant has benefit as he flies at everything.

He had multiple options and Sloane telling him to slow down.

Was a rushed slightly manic decision to go long.

Ah, well done then. Glad it was all ok for you.

It’s nice to see the connections across the industry.

Mackay one week and, this week, for the Pies, Hayden Skipworth is backs coach and Andy Otten is a development coach.

Thanks for caring.

Fascinating that both Walker and his direct opponent(s) all got into the coaches votes. Wouldn't happen too often you'd have thought!

 

[baldandbroke]

Ok, for you to say that now you’re talking about ability, do you think he will be as good a footballer as Macca?

Can we all just step back a bit and agree that Pedlar is the type of player that makes us cast our minds back to the likes of Garry Macintosh ...



I mean, it does look familiar.

That is an entirely different thing to compare one of (if not the) the greatest SA player to not play VFL to a young man just starting to make his mark.

Probably broke the tackles

I get ask regularly by ex AFL players of that era that know of Macca, how good was he and would he have been any good in the AFL

 

[Bearded Clam]

Pfffft… have a listen to these Norwood supporters trying to compare a Glenelg Tigers player to a past Norwood player..

Pleeease..

You fools… he’s more like Chris “Bone” McDermott..


A true hard nut.


Mcintosh, however, never had the courage to even play VFL/AFL..

What??!! Never!

Pedlar can kick more than 40 metres and rarely kicks a loopy 30m death ball on top of his teammate's head.
