Game Day 2024 Semi Final : Port v Hawks, AO 7:10pm

[CaptainWorpedo]

Port dominate, but not on the score board. Game on!

 

[cryptor]

They dominated the quarter and are only 2 goals up.

Our boys just need to get back to doing the basics well. Match the pressure and the rest will come.

 

[Snoref]

Shell shocked, need to settle down and focus on the game rather get sucked into the man..

 

[HeHateMe]

Need to connect better moving forward. That's where we are losing it.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Weddle has 3 quarters to rectify this or he'll have a long summer to contemplate.

Was poor last week as well when everybody else fired.

 

[LRobbo]

Doubt port keep that up for 4 quarters.
Once the intensity drops off, it’ll open up. Stood up relatively well and haven’t let the scoreboard get away

 

[hardway]

Poor intensity and the worse decision making we have made in a long while.

 

[The hands of stone]

Hopefully we settle now . We looked a bit overawed there to be honest .

Good result only 13 down.

Let's step it up boys !!

 

[flamin_heck]

Serong has been really good

 

[RoughysMullet]

Some strange holding the ball decisions being paid by the umps tonight- one gifted port the 1st goal. Hope they put it away

 

[rdhopkins2]

Not the greatest of starts. Need to settle into Hokball form!

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Horrible quarter. Can only improve.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Port playing Hokball

 

[Hawks1994]

Looking really overawed out there

Port have bought the heat but it is only 13 points

Claw our way back into it and I trust us to run it out better

 

[Baz_hawk]

Mitchell looked very annoyed with some structural stuff, I suspect we are being sucked into the contest due to the occasion. Just need to settle and get back to playing how we play best

 

[Mrzohs]

Back to basics with the ball first option give and go.

If we are any good Mitchell will settle us down and we will bounce back.

 

[cryptor]

Their tackling is really good and the umps are right on the HTB calls. Avoid trying to take on the tackle.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

We’re going ok. Absorbed a lot there. Crowd noise is nuts. Could be channel 7 ramping it up though.
Whoever is on Burgoyne better tighten up.
Poise and run boys.
We’ll be fine.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

No effort early. We are done

 

[Off The Couch]

I cant help but think about the fools in the preview thread talking about Port being shot and us blitzing them as thought they got second spot by accident. Complacency was always going to be the biggest risk in this game. I just hope that can absorb this pressure without losing touch before they tire and can get back to our game plan.

What a silly statement
As if supporters being cocky has any impact on the game

 

[Max Powers]

Man up.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Horrible by Newk then

 

[ViperV10]

Poor intensity and the worse decision making we have made in a long while.

The thing is we aren't making decisions... We're caught in too many minds and keep holding onto it until we run out of time and space

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Cooked

 

[KermitJagger]

Their tackling is really good and the umps are right on the HTB calls. Avoid trying to take on the tackle.

Yeah they're absolutely hot on it. Doubt there were many teams with an 11 free quarter this year, in a final it's even more rare.
