Review Good/Bad/Ugly vs Hawthorn, R6 2023

Hate them Sunday birthday parties!!

Connor Nash’s tackle on soligo, wrapped his arms up and dumps him on his back, he has no way of protecting his fall and his head does contact the ground first.
Now I’m ok with it but the potential for a concussion is high.

That "potential" lasted 1 round. McAdam should sue.

How long does Foxtel take to put games up on their on demand?

We kicked long aimlessly in this game alot more than any other game. Whether this was because the Hawks made it difficult to play our normal game, or whether we resorted to this when we were put under pressure, I'm not sure.

This should be a big topic for the review though as sides will look to do this to us. We need to know exactly what we do when our usual game style is not working, without resorting to the long bomb game. You can call it a plan b if you like, but I didn't like what they were dishing up for large periods of the game.

You can just go back in the tv guide and stream it

That's rich.
You post this puerile rubbish:

and telling me to grow up?

You're so cute when you're mad

Worried about it, def hobbled. May be a rare injury list addition.

He was exactly the same at the end of last week's game.

Just watching the highlights again. Man murray has turned into a gun. He was huge in the final minutes.

Hmmmmm. Nek minnit .. 8 weeks out

Just watching the highlights again. Man murray has turned into a gun. Hardly ever gets beaten.

We have a habit of breeding gun defenders.

Got a very good kick on him as well.

Next 4 weeks will be telling. Go 2-2 there .. come on boys.

 

[TheRankineFile]

Should look in a mirror

Thought it was Nick's ....

 

[MarcusP2]

Got a very good kick on him as well.

I think he was forward at the end? Did I see him hanging around when Fogarty took the mark?

Yeah he was up there

Smh. Some of the commentary on this board week to week…get a grip folks. Hawthorn were very good. Both teams brought the heat and when that happens, guess what? It’s scrappy and tough and there was a time a true football purest loved watching that type of game.
They found a way to win and good teams do that. The Hawks will take some scalps this year, the same way we did the last couple of years. They have some quality talent.
I fear some of you on this board have a genuine problem with emotional control. If this win makes you angry I suggest you shine that light of inspection inward.

If that exact game that we just played against Hawthorn was the ANZAC game between Collingwood and Essendon people would be frothing over how good the contest was, how hard it was to get clean ball as the pressure from both sides was elite. They would be saying "how good is footy!"

We as a team and a club probably needed a game like that, high pressure finals like footy where it wasn't our day but rallied late to get over the line, away from home on a notoriously difficult ground for us to play on. Just maybe will give us some confidence when we go to Geelong in two weeks time. That bit of belief that when the pressure is high and not everything is going to plan that we can push through and come out the other side with 4 points.

Luke Pedlar is definitely building. Has the ability to impact games in any circumstance.

I feel like one day soon he'll be the guy on the end of everything and tear a game to shreds

Building extremely nicely.
His statistics are very similar to Petracca at same age, just a few handballs less per game.
Another few preseason under Burgess building the tank and could be anything.

Today he only played 79 minutes out of the game’s 124 and still managed 15 disposals. Looking forward to when that increases over the coming years

They just played a package on First Crack of at least 10 throws the Bulldogs got away with against Freo. Keath had one where he literally just threw it behind himself with one hand! Some would have been hard to pickup, but more than a couple should be very obvious to an AFL level umpire.

They did that in their grand final win over the swans.

Playing Hawthorn is absolutely not finals like football, and its definitely not like playing Geelong.

 

[BrissyCrow]

Ok, we won and any win is a good win. But today there was a lot of poor kicking. Some under pressure but there were plenty of inaccurate, poorly executed disposals even when the players were in the open.

Happy for the win (four on the trot) but I am not getting carried away with todays win. Not happy at the standard of our execution especially when compared to last week.

Yet we beat Geelong 3 years ago.

We did not beat Geelong in Geelong three years ago
