7 Taylor Walker (ADEL)
6 Rory Laird (ADEL)
5 Rory Sloane (ADEL)
5 Conor Nash (HAW)
3 Jai Newcombe (HAW)
2 James Sicily (HAW)
2 Sam Frost (HAW)
I reckon
Nicks
5 Sloane
4 Laird
3 Walker
2 Sicily
1 Frost
Mitchell
5 Nash
4 Walker
3 Newcombe
2 Laird
1 Frost
The coaches votes seemed pretty Hawthorn heavy... Soligo a bit stiff to not get a single vote but everyone listed deserved the votes they got
I also thought Nash was best on followed by Walker and Sloane

Yep. You can see soligo has a look around then just drives it forward as though we were still behind.
Not putting it all on him. You’d think we’d be able to manufacture a cheap kick to someone in that scenario. He had Dawson to his left busy directing traffic, and another player. Also looks like Rankine could have worked back into some space and provided an option on the other wing.
Easy to say watching the replay. Of course there’s always a chance the kick gets picked off.

Would be our best team player this year.

Tex also had a couple of moments he'd want to forget in that last 30 seconds. Couple of one handed efforts on the back flank.
Murray saved us a couple of times there.

Great footage & show we are in really good hands with our new leader.
I wonder if we studied the footage of our game v Pies last year & Pendlebury.

I do know one thing for sure, the decision to go with Dawson as captain in 2023, was always the correct decision.
Brave move by a very conservative club.
Once he’s on that railway line full steam get out the*way
Good: Won ugly. Its what good teams do from time to time. Its a fantastic sign of maturing into a good side with a winning culture. Yes it was ugly but Hawthorn brought it. it was not long ago where we would have leads in a match like this and lose by 30 points. The players kept the belief. My good friend always had a great saying after games like this 'a win is a win is a win'. No need to over think it.
Bad: I didn't really think the umpiring was that bad yesterday. Couple of lax umpiring moments where we should have received 50s for players taking too long to give the ball back, and when frost was wrestling with Fog after the free to fog and he was pinned under Frost should have been a 50 straight away. The umpire was just spectating and should have moved the game on.
Ugly: The game. But a win and I will bank it.

He has great closing speed which is so important.
Have been really happy with his progress, good age to
I was completly in the same mindset honestly, but its a good thing to be wrong about
What about the throw by Jiaf in their attacking 50m not seen by the umpire who was standing 5m away which lead to a Hawks goal?

Umpires gave us a few nice calls too.

Motlop is the eighth player in the past five rounds to be suspended for a sling/dump tackle. GWS midfielder Callan Ward was also cited this weekend for a sling following bans to Taylor Adams, Zach Merrett, Will Day, Gary Rohan, Ryan Burton and Nathan Broad.
Blues teammate Lewis Young was also cited for a strike on Saint Mason Wood, but he can accept a $2000 fine with an early plea.
Adelaide's Darcy Fogarty and Hawthorn's James Sicily were both fined for wrestling during the match in Launceston on Sunday afternoon.
With the boundary ump standing 5 metres away in the perfect position looking along the line. It's almost an optical illusion - rankin's feet are out of bounds and therefore it looks like the ball is too, but that ump was perfectly placed and watching with eagle eyes.
I really hope it was out of bounds just to screw the Hawks over for once with a dodgy free going our way.
what do you expect Darcy to do when you have a flog on top dry humping you

I think we got them in 2005 - the old Aurora Park (or was that Canberra?)

A bigger deal out west.
Whole post was food for thought, for me. I wasn't going to watch the replay, but I think after your post I will.
I noticed one of their blokes breaking the HB line and rebounding strongly. Was that Impey?
1) There's a possibility Murphy and Keays had other roles to play; we don't know.
if neither Murphy nor Keays spotted Impey's influence, isn't it up to Nicks to point that out and get one of them (hard-running Keays would be my pick) to clamp down on him?
2) I agree that they are not, but have no clue what they're thinking.
My criticism of Keays (apart from no-R-foot) is that he's very "busy", even when he doesn't need to be. I've seen signs over the last 2-maybe-3 weeks that he's finally learning to give off when he's not in a great position and not try to snap superstar goals from poor positions eg his handball to Jones early in the Carlton game (resulted in Rankine goal), his handball to Rankine late in the last.
Rankine was deeper in the pocket but much more likely to kick the freak goal, which he did.
With 1) I think it's more the case that it's very difficult (to borderline impossible with a well coached side) to shut down a half back ball supply. More, it's about limiting influence then taking them out. That means players like Keays/Murphy preventing them from running and defensive structures forcing either short kicks, or slow kicks to a contest.
Our record against Saad is an anomaly, and probably just as much that Carlton are a very poorly coached side as it is Keays has a field day against them.
