And put his freaking arms up, since the Adelaide game I can count on one hand the amount of times he's tried for an over head mark instead of a chest mark. Frustrating
The way he plays when the ball is live is far improved. Not a fan of (any team but specifically what Ginni and the other Hawks are doing) getting stuck into the man on the mark trying to draw shitty 50m penalties and stirring shit.
Agree re Parker/ Adams
Unless we come up against the grunty midfield of Brisbane, I can't see Adams being used. His best work throughout the year has been blocking and positioning to free up the quicker mids. Unless he has a direct 1v1 run with shut down role Parker just offers more versatility...
The good news is, we managed to get by even with the best defensive duo left in it being totally dominant.
If we happen to match up gws in the GF I'd be sitting the talls down and watching every foray forward from this week in hd slomo to work out how to better nullify them. Don't have to beat...
Papley coming back in to the fwd line dulled his influence a bit, but I'd still prefer him to Adams.
Get Parker leading up the wings when we need an outlet. Has better hands than our 3x tall forwards.
He, as the kids would say, has got that dog in him
Whatever that means.
His two no look handballs in to the laps of Hayward and Heeney were the kind of spark our fwd line has been missing the second half of the year.
You can absolutely be penalised for time wasting after the siren, because delaying giving the ball back still allows defenders to get back to the line. Greene was taking the piss and should have been pinged
Just swap Campbell and Jmac, unless there's a specific role for Adams (run with neale or mcluggage) he won't be used as a sub.
Unfortunately he'll just be injury coverage from here on out
McCartin Mills and Melican need to communicate better, but I suppose I'd rather they **** it by going hard when they shouldn't rather than the opposite

Campbell starts the prelim. JMAC more likely to play 30 good minutes as sub than Adams so unless there's a specific match up we want (shut down role on Neale or Mcluggage) then hard to see any other changes.
Holy shit balls what a win
Third quarter I almost felt sorry for them. Libba got pinged for a throw while being tackled with no prior, and then 10 seconds later there's three consecutive tackles with incorrect disposals with no prior called play on for the Hawks like bang bang bang.
Almost
Probably our strongest team on paper for the season. Feel for Adams. Glad we retained Campbell, and Fox is probably the best choice for sub, as he can chop out at either end and has shown he's finals calibre in the past.
Sometimes you just gotta make tough calls. Pies fans are going to be...
Bobby Hill. The hands free jump, the second lift, still getting his hands to it cleanly despite his body rotating away, and nailing the landing after what seemed like an eternity on top of the pack.
Reid hands down, wins his own ball, burns off Petracca and nails three bounces and kicks it hard and flat at full speed.
Daicos rd16 is the weakest choice imo. He gets rewarded for missing a target with a grubber, then chipping a hospital ball to a team mate. Lucky it came off but literally...
Got two spots in the GOTY finalists, his goal against Bris is definitely a contender, but surely there was another goal better than the one v GC. He gets rewarded for missing a target with a grubber, then chipping a hospital ball to a team mate. Lucky it came off but literally took three bites...
