Game Day AFL 1st Preliminary Final match discussion - Hawthorn v Geelong

[Big Tom 2013]

Bloody great game so far, keep up the pressure Cats!!

 

[Selective Retention]

We'd be four goals down if they had taken their chances.

Need to bring the 3Q form from last week.

 

[maryjames]

I am starting to hate Hunt

Yeah no good.

 

[winty]

Buddy shoves Lonergan in the back, but is paid the mark. The umpire in the vicinity? Nicholls!

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

J Hunt is having a shocker...

3 real easy goals for Hawks, again we're lucky to still be in this, but major adjustments have to be done if we are going to win this.

 

[MatLewis5]

SOMEONE SPOIL!

THIS

 

[Feline]

How was that not in the back to Lonergan? Need to settle and tighten up and for heavens sake defenders punch the ball away.

 

[Crhferrari]

I accept losing, I don't accept performance like that.
The last ten minutes is not tolerable!!!
Come on!!!

 

[maryjames]

Varcoe giving away that stupid free to hodge in the cats goal square changed everything.

 

[r32godzilla]

Goddamn maggot umpires killed our momentum with those 3 free kicks in a row to Dawkthorn!! Hunt stop turning the ball over and giving away free kicks!!

 

[Biggy_Boy]

our best is better than their best. come the **** on!

Our worst player, Josh Hunt, is doing enough to cost us the game.

 

[Crhferrari]

And how lucky are we.
Breust and Rouhgead could have make the situation more terrible.

 

[SuperCats9]

Josh hunt offers nothing but fumbles and bad decisions, can't beat his opponent.

We needed the siren to go quicker, after 10 minutes in we just stopped, threatened to break it open but hawks just took complete control again.

 

[dazbroncos]

We need to clear the errors.
Josh Hunt. You are better than this. Now is not the time for a howler. Harden up and get int eh game.
Need more from TV, Stokes, Murdoch, Blitz, Duncan, Vardy. Those 2 talls are there to make a defensive 50 contest when the ruck goes forward. PUNCH THE BALL

Go Catters

 

[jazzee]

Ugh, that quarter.

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

I hate to say it but we are running out of legs, the extra week off may pay off now... Hopefully they can regroup and slow the game down. That last 10 minutes was despicable on all parts. Players stopped running.

 

[SuperCats9]

Varcoe giving away that stupid free to hodge in the cats goal square changed everything.

Yep, there's always a turning point, and that was it, Varcoe just dumb there, we had it locked in.

 

[winty]

Varcoe giving away that stupid free to hodge in the cats goal square changed everything.

Yep, and we hardly got a free from then on. Umpire inspired momentum shift.

 

[Strangled Cat]

In the first quarter the Hawks looked ominous yet we were ahead. Second quarter we looked like blowing the game open yet strangely enough the Hawks find themselves in front. What a strange game. But I think we'll come home with another close finish.

 

[Big Tom 2013]

Loving Duncan's game so far. Stevie J, what can be said, he's the man.

 

[CF]

Agree Hunt is playing shit.

Thought we ran out of puff at the end of that quarter which is of course is the worry and why these games are hard to win for the teams that have to play the semi's. A lot of pressure out there and few young blokes making mistakes because of it here and there. Good experience for them.

Games not over yet and you never know we might just pull it off. Just have to stay in it in the 3rd quarter and not get blown away. Then we're a chance.

 

[Partridge]

J Hunt is having a shocker...

3 real easy goals for Hawks, again we're lucky to still be in this, but major adjustments have to be done if we are going to win this.

We've got 4 clear liabilities - Hunt, Corey, Lonergan and Blicavs. Add 5 possessions to Kelly and 3 - yes 3 possessions to Varcoe and it's a wonder we're so close.

Great play by Kelly to have a free reversed too. Well played dickhead - you showed him.

Our weaknesses will prove the difference and cost us the game.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

The Hawks can score so quickly when they get going.

 

[cynical]

Blicavs and J Hunt are useless.

Stevie Johnson is carrying us.

 

[Partridge]

Apart from Johnson, the older guys are making just as many mistakes. Not the first time Hunt has let us down in a final either.
