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

[Ashman23]

We've got them, they can't play any better and we've only just started playing.

We hit the front, we'll run away with it.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Newcombe will make up 6 goals in the second half for his one mistake, have faith

 

[kenneje]

Newc the best midfielder on the ground.

Disposals: Worpel 8, D'Ambrosio 8, Nash 5, Ward 6.

Rest of them need to lift massively.

 

[Dipper]

Game is about to open up. We on here.

I'm feeling the same not 100% confident but it feels that way.

 

[macdaddio]

Was Marshall subbed off with concussion

 

[BlueWaterHawk]

I'm hoping Port have spent a lot of petrol tickets with the high pressure play for 50 minutes. Looked like it was slacking from half way through the second. Shame we conceded the old Red timer.

 

[SSSSSS]

Midfield needs to lift.

 

[SJT76]

Really missing Massimo's influence. It's not a great game for wingers but if he can start getting a metre or two on his opponent I think it could break the game open.

We need a few switches to give him space. Whole game being played in a phone box

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

You wouldn't say that if the situation was reversed. Bullshit frees! Dont want to see that in finals thanks

I feel the Chol free kick was fair enough Arms pinned and lifted of ground.

Don’t worry port has had there share of easy frees.

 

[madhawksfan]

Got back in it at least, albeit with a bit of luck from the umps. Port only got goals on the counterattack that quarter and that last one was inexcusable.

Serong and Scrim both doing well down back. Newk (except for that last kick), Worps and Meek are going okay. Finn and Moore have been solid

We just need some ****ing composure and we are in it up to our eyeballs. Port starting to struggle to keep up with us so we just need to back our systems.

Need Nash and a few of the young guns to step up. Ginni, Wiz, Cmac and Weddle have plenty of upside.

Ours for the taking if we are good enough.

 

[HedgeFund]

Too much ball going through Finn when we are looking to transition.

He’s getting to the right spots. Other players are not. It’s not on Finn.

 

[Sixpence]

Not sure why everyone is knocking Nuke for that kick? The bigger issue was Weddle standing there watching it. Hasn't had a great finals series so far.

 

[ScottMaginness]

Has Maginess ever played a good AFL game? Doesn’t stop him getting a game

Maybe ask Nick Daicos or Clayton Oliver.

 

[RoughysMullet]

Why are people going on about our free kicks? Port had a run of 9 straight free kicks in that first quarter and nobody said sh*t.

The silence was deafening from the commentary until they started giving some free kicks to us

 

[RCAB]

For me Port look tired overall, they put their best shot. We should pile it on as the game progresses

 

[LunchboxLegend]

Big mistake not bringing CJ back into this side.

He was fumbly in H&A games…..
With this pressure, he wouldn’t add anything.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Why hasn’t one commentator asked why the port ruck wasn’t penalised for kneeing. Not one.

The most blatant missed free kick

 

[JoeHawk]

You wouldn't say that if the situation was reversed. Bullshit frees! Dont want to see that in finals thanks

Chols was there, given the way the games umpired these days, but I reckon Moores was extremely soft.

 

[VandoHawk]

The good news is everything went their way yet they’re only 9 points in front. They busted their arse with defensive efforts they haven’t applied all year.

If we can get our game going I think we’ll win but we need to be much better at the contest.

 

[Toasted]

Why are people going on about our free kicks? Port had a run of 9 straight free kicks in that first quarter and nobody said sh*t.

This

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Just send someone out to belt someone.

If it happens whilst the Hawks are going for the ball all will be good.

Maybe Finn should tag JHF his already frustrated

 

[pd_89]

I can't put into words how much I despise this team for the allowing the Cats into the prelim then choosing to turn up against us.

 

[Off The Couch]

Ward Morrison and Maginess not up
To this level of football.

Can’t have passengers at this level.

Rubbish

 

[Hawks1994]

The game will open up once everyone slows down

No team can keep that first quarter type of pressure for long without blowing up physically

The extra space will allow our preferred ball movement to come to the fore

 

[Bugs1977]

The first 10 mins of this quarter are going to be vital. We need to tackle hard and make an impact early.

Let's go lads!
