Training 2024 Preseason reports and discussion

[CHUBBSS]

Sam Mitchel: alright boys go out there and do you best and play you hardest etc not much coaching

In the box: excellent I am going to roast the shit out of them before round 1

 

[Judd2Sewell]

They are right up with their pressure. Almost like round 1. Were not expecting it hence all these tackles were getting penalised for. This is what we need to work on. Being engaged with what the opposition are going to bring from the get go.

Man we look absolutely terrible so far, or at least they look really well drilled. Their set-up around the contests is working every time.

 

[Lickmesocks]

I really hope this qtr of footy is the low mark for the season. Players falling over each other everywhere, being smashed at the contest for hunger, our talls playing from behind, our field kicking putrid.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

That was laughable than goodness me.

 

[Lickmesocks]

Why is Ethan Phillips not playing? Our backline is short people playing on monsters.

 

[Iceman!]

That was really poor by Mackenzie, when you have that much time and space to deliver the ball inside 50 you can not get it that wrong

 

[TazHawk15]

Just watched this first quarter on my iPhone at work, suffice to say the only thing that’s a saving grace is that I am at work.

 

[Stranglers]

I know this is only a practice game but my goodness we look a mile off the pace at the moment. Zero connection between the players.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Feel like we're taking the piss having Nash line up on the wing

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Hmmmm. Has there been a string of 4 possessions yet? Very few uncontested marks we are just bom,bing it all over the place. This is a smashing.

Finally had a lovely clearance just now only for Mackenzie to kick it straight to them under no pressure.

MacDonald, Ginnivan, Scrimshaw, Frost all playing pretty well. Worpel getting it but wasting it a bit

Wondering why Nash hasnt had a cba yet too...

Dogs have been as slick as the Hawks have been poor. Im going back to work

 

[Lickmesocks]

Haha never as bad when you are being paid for it

 

[hawkman]

Well that was awful

 

[VandoHawk]

Aside from a dinky kick thought Scrim was good.

Ginni and CMac looked good in transition.

Not a lot more to like this game. Losing every contest.

 

[moginie]

What's the score?

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

We're picking high. Real high

 

[Lickmesocks]

I keep getting told about his sublime skills but at training and in games I am regularly seeing him miss basic kicks and also set shots from 35 out.

 

[VandoHawk]

What's the score?

Bulldogs 42 to our 2.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

That was really poor by Mackenzie, when you have that much time and space to deliver the ball inside 50 you can not get it that wrong

Been a common theme.

 

[Mrzohs]

intensity at the contest and around the ground is poor. The kick inside 50 is non existent

A response is required in the 2nd qtr.

 

[Philhawk]

 

[Lickmesocks]

We're picking high. Real high

Sanders looks serious quality the way he moves

 

[hawkman]

Why is Ethan Phillips not playing? Our backline is short people playing on monsters.

Ugle-Hagan is playing the next game. Maybe they are going to put Phillips on him

 

[H00t]

Better now than during the real thing

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Well that was almost pointless that qtr. Blokes leaving their man alone goal side of stoppages capped it off.

 

[Dr.J]

Second to the Football at too many contests.
