Game Day 2024 Elimination Final: Hawks v Dogs 7:40pm. @ MCG

[Blackhawk42]

Didn’t realise there was a breeze. How many goals?

Not sure, but Bont chose to kick to the right of screen and D'Ambrosio couldn't make the distance from 48m out. I'd say it must be playing a little bit of a factor.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

People can keep bitching about umpiring or ask our mids to do more at clearance.

We’re in this.

Why not both?

Compare this to last night where they didn't pay a free if there was an infringement each way.
This they see two infringements and decide which way it goes

Thats the difference so far. Getting done at stoppages. Our pressure and system is holding up ok. Forwards not getting much opportunity

 

[satan1]

Not a horrible QTR from a young team.
Work our way into it in the second.

 

[madhawksfan]

Libba is absolutely killing is in tight. Need to send Finn to him to wear him like a glove.

We looked rushed when we get it. Need to simplify our ball movement and get it moving quicker.

Dogs had the better of that quarter but are lucky to be 2 goals ahead. That goal from Darcy was arsey and the free to English was laughable.

Need Moore, Ginni, Newk and Wiz to get into the game.

Scrim and Meek are best so far.

 

[bungholes_premiers]

Would u believe the footscray supporters around me are crying about fees

 

[vanders]

Scrim Meek and Sic all started well. They got off to a flier but we did well to settle and the breeze is definitely making a difference. Hopefully we can use it to our advantage

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

 

[user33]

Bulldogs and umpires. A classic combo that seems to last forever

 

[Jethro!]

Ground ball gets are our strength. We haven't really brought that yet. Fogs are quick starters. We can peg them in.

 

[MinerBoy]

Forwards need to get involved. Only a handful of touches between Moore, Chol, Dear, Watson and Gunners.

Well when the umpire is handing out bullshit goals for general ruck jostling then yeah, il keep bitching thanks champ

 

[OnTheRocks]

Getting exploited by their talks against Meek which gives their mids a bit of dominance over ours.
A few need to lift and wrestle back some score board pressure in the 2nd qtr

 

[Sizzlesilk]

Didn’t realise there was a breeze. How many goals?

Couple.
Our kicks kicks falling short.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Scrim and Lloyd started well

The class players like Scrimmers always stand out on nights like this, he's playing so assured.

Meek had a strong start as well, he seems to enjoy the step up to finals which I figured would be the case.

 

[cryptor]

Need to take risks and attack. We looked on top earlier when doing that and then we started holding things up and it gave them a chance to setup their zone.

 

[daniel23]

Can finn tag someone otherwise what role does he play

 

[Bugs1977]

Our tackle pressure just dropped off for a bit there and they went bang bang so we need to get that back up again. We also need to be aware of how they always have one mid hang a little forward of the ruck contest. We don't want to be to reactive with what there doing but we still need to be aware of it. Let's go again lads!

 

[SJT76]

Going against the grain, but the ruck free kick was one they’ve paid all year: if you block the space, you need to touch the ball.

The Dear one, I was less happy about.

 

[SSSSSS]

Midfield needs to lift.

 

[hawksfan71]

So the bulldogs player had his arm holding calsher back to the ground we kick a goal and rhey take the goal from us lol and what's with these baby little kicks we would get frees against if they were our little kicls

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Need to start winning the clearances.
It’s keeping them in it.

 

[Worth a Kick]

Dogs settled a wee bit quicker. Do wish umpires would just stay the hell out of ruck contests though. Either pay them all or don’t pay any.

 

[The Chad and I]

Scrimmers and Sic very good that quarter.

Chol and Watson look very nervous.

Doggies midfielders are dangerous, can't give them an inch as they kill you on the outside.

Chol and Dear contested everything. Delivery was mostly crap.

Chol should’ve held that mark, and prob could’ve been paid.

We’ll be fine.
Need a bit more at stoppages.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Massimo and scrim been awesome so far.
