Always chasing the scoreboard for the whole day, backline full of holes. Lucky not to get beaten by more.

Too many passengers. We were not running hard enough and taking the game on until our backs were to the wall. Rather go out taking the game on and dictating the play rather than just playing safe football.

Thank God for Selwood, Danger, Ablett, Kelly and Menzel.

Having said that it was a great fight back though and almost stole the win.
 
Not playing Smith meant Blicavs didn’t spend enough time in defense. Effort was down and Chris Scott most probably had his worst coaching performance I have seen him have.

Positive, the full strength Hawks could only beat us by a point, we have a lot of improvement on today, a lot more than the Hawks.
 
Harsh. Each of them had their moments each way. I'm saving my brickbats for Hawkins and Gregson, despite kicking goals were pretty useless.
Menegola had 14 touches for the match
Stanleys opponent was bog
Guthrie continues to get caught holding the ball and has no composure
Blicavs had his standard midfield game of less than 20 touches

We lost the game because the players on our list from 10-15 are absolute shittrucks who panick under pressure. Tuohy is a perfect example. Shits the bed under any pressure.

We also set up horrendously in the centre square. CS is lucky that he had ablett and dangerfield to bring us back in the game as his coaching was shocking today. Zuthrie on Roughead is unforgivable
 
regardless of whether we won or lost in the end that was horrific coaching and selection by the club.

no smith allowing mcevoy to dominate the ruck.

not playing danger in the centre until it was too late. ablett was fantastic last week and fantastic today but he shouldnt spend much time in the centre bounce contests. just doesnt win the ball. its staggering that it took till the last 10 mins to put danger in and ablett to the wing.

not having one of kolo, stewart or blicavs permanently on roughy. zac guthrie on roughie was a worse call then s hocking on brereton in the 89 grand final. atleast brereton was lame on that call.

the chip kick backwards football of the first half was utterly dumb. hawthorn have a great forward press and we kick it backwards to help it. i mean holy hell. not to mention it made it impossible for our forwards who barely saw the ball for a half.

why do we never block up the centre of the ground on defense. we allow the opposition to run it through there at will.
they will probably drop Menzel next week. REALLY have to have a good look at themselves BIG TIME

the goods. we have the individual talent to win the flag.

Kelly was no fluke last week.

menzel is a star.

ablett despite one big weakness is still a gun.

the mc and coaches need to have a giant big look at themselves.
 
Was a cracking game though. Hawthorn could have buried us with better kicking efficiency. What it showed to me was the lack of experience and leadership in the defensive half - which should improve with experience and the return of Harry and Henderson.

Dangerfield is really something special, loved how he brushed off Sicily in the first and made Cyril look ordinary in that final quarter.
 
Also even without Kennedy WCE still have Waterman Darling Lycett Naitanui and Ryan can mark it. If they don't pick House or Gardner this week I don't see why they would bother keeping them on the list. Select properly.

It’s called injuries...get a grip
Yes injuries are apart but they dropped Murdoch after a decent game. Dropped Smith after a bad game despite playing one of the best rucks in the game and being a vital player. Thurlow was a last minute emergency but still would have been better than O'Connor.
 
Geeze we had some passengers. So a positive is that we could come back and almost get the win..
Kelly is such a great get, his delivery inside 50 brilliant.
 
The inexperienced backline did well considering the 60 odd inside 50s.
To many passengers in the side today, gregson needs to actually earn his spot in the team, not just given to him because his injury free.
 
Considering Geelong's game, Poos+Wees VERY fortunate to take the game

Also is anyone starting to think that 2E's not quite as good as we thought he was?

Tuohy is very good but when he's the only attack minded defender other teams cover him coz they know who we are passing to. Taylor and Hendo really intercept and attack which means we aren't as predictable where they can just sit on Tuohy and Stewart.
