Game Day AFL Round 6 - Matchday Discussion Hawthorn@Collingwood(GIANTS Stadium- 7:50PM)

[Ulahoopski]

No, all he's doing is running around getting cheapies and nothing else. All the other inside mids are getting their hands dirty either winning the ball or working hard defensively. Only reason he's getting so much of it is cause his opponent's aren't paying any attention to him and allowing him to run free. That won't happen every week. In fact, right now the opposition had already put the clamps on, and now he's useless. Anyone could've done what Wills did in that first quarter if they received no attention like he did. He's just a spud who was lucky the opposition paid him no respect for a quarter.

Damn those pesky facts eh? CP - that's CONTESTED possessions rah rah boy.

Then Kick it to a Hawks Player or Misses his Target by a Mile.

C Brown done not much

He’s had two clangers. 2/16, I’ll take that.

 

[spartan-magpie]

Quaynor's kicking looks effortless. And he's a solid kid now.

And he’s got some length too. I’d really like to see him kick the leather off it. His penetration looks, as you Said, effortless.

 

[spartan-magpie]

Quaynor must play every week.

For the next eight years...

12 years.

 

[Soups]

I think AT hasn’t been too bad. We know he’s going to have the odd clanged but he’s providing run and dash out of the middle.

 

[Seedsman_]

Tom Phillips is a concern. Hasn’t been anywhere near it this season and only has six touches so far.
Great first half, much better than last week.

 

[Black_White]

Any player in the competition (given they have been prepared by professional fitness staff).

Ah, so Cox then?

 

[Aishole]

Then Kick it to a Hawks Player or Misses his Target by a Mile.

C Brown done not much

Think you are judging him harshly. Your first post calling him out he had only just missed his first target. His ball use was surprisingly clean to start the game.

 

[spartan-magpie]

I think AT hasn’t been too bad. We know he’s going to have the odd clanged but he’s providing run and dash out of the middle.

He looks a bit lost at times, and a bit aloof. But did a couple of nice things in traffic. A real composed, clean pick in traffic stood out. Needs to get busy. Definitely a keeper, will be a player.

My comments were based on the first quarter (I was replying to a comment who quoted a comment I made in the first quarter). I admit he's started to win the ball in the 2nd quarter, but only one of his three disposals in that quarter was effective (they were mostly effective in the first quarter cause the opposition were paying no attention to him)

 

[TradeDraft]

Atu and Will had good 1st Half

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Look, I admit he's not as fumbly as he usually is, but the reason he got so much of the ball in the first quarter was purely because of the opposition paying no attention to him. He's not doing any of the hard stuff, which is his role as an inside midfielder. That's like praising a key forward for dominating against a non-key position player. He shouldn't even be on the list, let alone be getting a game.

He has played a good game though he faded a little late in the second quarters. He is one of the reasons we are winning.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Tom Phillips is a concern. Hasn’t been anywhere near it this season and only has six touches so far.

Phillips needs to play on the wing. Have to stop experimenting him with different roles.

 

[mike123]

Hope he plays the rest of the year. He’s an exciting talent. Playing next to Varcs is going to help massively for his development.

Having more runners back there just relieves Crisp and Maynard from providing us all the run.

 

[jathanas]

He’s had two clangers. 2/16, I’ll take that.

68% disposal efficiency is better than last week, but there's still room for improvement.

 

[hellfire]

I think he’s referring to Treloar.

 

[Good_Old]

Recent weeks have made me nervous about this second half.

 

[loki04]

I think AT hasn’t been too bad. We know he’s going to have the odd clanged but he’s providing run and dash out of the middle.

Hes been overall good but typically errant. If he can release a bit earlier bfr the oncoming player gets too close i think it would help his KE.

Hawks have a smaller midfield in this game vs say GWS Ess and Norfs mids who physically take it up to us and to great effect.

 

[The Dawes]

Hawks are there for the beating tonight
Just need to go on with it

He's been excellent. Some people are hard to please.

 

[Linda Lovelace]

Brown & Treloar having shockers.

If Ben Crocker didn't exist, Callum Brown would be the worst player to get regular games for Collingwood in the last decade. It baffles me that some people can't see this.

Never has been AFL standard, never will be AFL standard.

 

[spartan-magpie]

Peoples thoughts on SON? Lovely opening goal. Nice movement, looks likely.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

I prefer IQ over Noble. Has more weapons and upside than Noble.

Noble is a competitive beast but he's a limited footballer.

 

[TradeDraft]

Hawks are there for the beating tonight
Just need to go on with it

Hopefully we can as we struggled to do that except for the Saints game since the Re-start

 

[mapguy]

Some of Maynards roving and bull like burst from it was why id like to see him moved to midfield, did some great work that quarter.

I'd miss him on too much on defense making people look stupid.
