Boilover looming in SA. Port cooked?

Can see them dropping out the 8.
And Hawks not finishing bottom 4, mores the pity!

 

[Diehard Saint]

Their missing Dixon tonight. A bottom side at home is his speciality.

And Robbie Gray.

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Wow gold coast can’t buy a free at the moment.

 

[Munga]

We've already tried our first pick for McCartin, it didn't work.

Yeah, that's the joke I was going for

Dust the tarps off, Koshie!

 

[Munga]

Hawks will finish top 6 playing like this. They also have an easier fixture for finishing bottom 6 last year.

 

[Parkysp]

Last year I didn't watch as much footy as I had in 2020 when I was stuck at home in my apartment. I watched all our games but not many others in 2021.

You get a bit of a false sense of your team doing that I've realised. Can lead to being more negative. 'other teams don't do what we do' but unless you watch their games all the way through you miss that they actually do often do the same things.

I've watched a number more games already this season and the thing that has struck me is what I've seen as our bombing high kicks into our forwards is actually a thing that all teams do.

I think when we get hung up on that, it is actually more that when we do lower our eyes we miss badly. The top teams don't. It seems that a lot of forward 50 entries as bombs are accepted across the competition it's just the coaches of the top 4 want them mixed in with more precise entries too. We need to develop the precise part of the mix.

Incredible amount of talented youth in this Hawthorn team, geewhiz.

can beat Trac and touk for the Brownlow? Cripps and Neale the other smokies. I imagine all of these blokes have a perfect 3 from the first round and maybe 6 by the second

Cripps might win it early doors.

Nope

Do we think Jack Steele can beat Trac and touk for the Brownlow? Cripps and Neale the other smokies. I imagine all of these blokes have a perfect 3 from the first round and maybe 6 by the second

Yep, always tend to lean towards the sides that don't take votes off each other. Walsh and Cripps might do that, same as Petracca and Oliver.

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Well he’s 6 behind already

 

[George]

Now it's over to the Port forum

 

[Bill Mohr]

Incredible amount of talented youth in this Hawthorn team, geewhiz.

Bloody good to watch, just kept running and took risks. Goal kicking was superb. Can anyone recall the last time we beat Port by 12 goals in Adelaide or anywhere else?

 

[lewdogs]

No Lienert, no Port.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Well he’s 6 behind already

I reckon he at least picked up 2 last week.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Good point. He might be saved by how shit our midfield is. And we shipped off Dunstan who stole votes off him.

 

[George]

Round 19, 2010 is the last time we beat Port by 12 goals or more (94 points)

Our biggest win against them in Adelaide was Round 5, 2009 - we beat them by 66 points.

 

[BrutThough]

Well he’s 6 behind already

Not after he's best on tomorrow.

Probably not, but unlike those guys Jack Steele has very few team mates stealing votes from him - so who knows?

 

[AirWinmar]

Don’t think it will ever happen to be honest. Gresham has that ball winning ability but not the foot skills and Clark doesn’t have the drive.

Gresh is a decent kick 30-40 metres and not when trying to roost it around the corner. Once he realises that he'll be a much more effective mid

 

[Bill Mohr]

I reckon he at least picked up 2 last week.

At least 2 puts him at BOG almost . I didnt think he played that well

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Not many stand outs in that match. Mediocrity all round so even a decent performance puts you in the spotlight. On the eye test Gresh would have looked terrible to the umps with his kicking style

On review I’d forgotten Jack hayes

 

[jwikked]

Poor Suns got absolutely reamed by the umpires tonight. It was a very inspiring performance and while I would be fuming if I barracked for them, there's a lot of good signs that they are actually building towards something. If that game went for another quarter they would have won.
