Game Day Giants v Hawthorn

[Smithdogmaddog]

Sicily world record for dropped marks in a quarter

 

[Nugett]

Thankfully that quarter is over. Now time to reset and break these clowns down

 

[Glenhope]

Awful. Off to watch Poldark

 

[westhawk]

Poor quarter by Sicily.

He has been shocking. Dropped 3 easy marks and has turned it over by foot

 

[Hawthorn United]

We don't look like we're on tonight. Don't look dangerous past the centre.

 

[Bedi]

Poor quarter by Sicily.

little bit scrappy. But endeavour was there.

 

[11sjw]

Well not many positives there. Isaac obviously doesn’t have his goal kicking boots on tonight.

 

[JoeHawk]

To be fair, we did this against port and the suns and came back

but not away at GWS where we haven’t won in the last 4 years.

 

[TylerDurden]

5-18 clearances. Mauling.

Ferken Lobb the campaigner.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Some embarrassing posts in this thread. Understand the frustration with how Hawthorn has played but namecalling and abuse is not tolerated. Any more slip ups and the poster gets the night off.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Things to note - O'Brien is comfortable in defence
Langford needs to play on a flank

If you engage your opponent and get behind them in a marking contest, you'll get the free for holding, despite your opponent not touching you

 

[cantos_tevez]

Why are we so good at playing young out of form tall forwards into form?

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Why are we so good at playing young out of form tall forwards into form?

Because our defense is pathetic. We are shit and teams pray to play us

 

[Luv_our_club]

Hardwick has been our stand out.

 

[Off The Couch]

Well the hawks are nothing but predictable at the moment with shit first quarters

We so need a couple more quality midfielders - baffles that JOR wasn’t in rather than glass

Just can’t get the game on our terms and their pace and quick ball movement was always going to hurt. We’ll know by half time if we are in for a long night.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Need to sort out the clearance work. Badly

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Might help if we could win the ball in the clinches, 18-5 is unacceptable and we're down by plenty in contested as well. Get your bloody hands dirty guys FFS.

 

[Snibs]

Hope they get the Grippo out at quarter time. Tom Mitchell v GWS at present.

 

[Hawks1994]

Timmy O with 3 or 4 good spoils or defensive efforts. Done well so far

 

[PT Bar None]

Few Hawks falling over again too.

Lucky my drinking boots have got long stops....

Real trade union performance by the umps in the first quarter. Cut back to 3 this week. Paying free kicks not there. Not paying obvious ones.

O'Brien looks so much better down back. Can go with any opponent easily and doesn't need to find the ball or bring down the mark.

 

[TylerDurden]

Rough. 1 possession. It’s over.

 

[DrEvil_]

Went in too tall, got smashed at the clearance.

 

[Flamin Joe]

I am freezing.... I am in tears... god I hate these g ames... worse than embarrassing. am so glad we drove, going home in the train would have been a nightmare... thank heavens I have money for booze

Meh, try waiting 10 years for a game only to witness a flogging from a winless team.

 

[Gaston]

Our forward line is no longer feared like it once used to be.
Its presence alone doesn't create goals like it used to.
Lack of defensive effort is evident, when Cegs or McEvoy are chasing backman don't even panic.
