Review Good/Bad/Ugly vs Hawthorn, R6 2023

[MrBarry]

On the hawks board they're saying Rankine was out of bounds on his last goal, was he?

Scoreboard.

 

[kirky]

Take the 4 points and move on. We will not be beating Collingwood or Geelong in the next fortnight.

Each game is irrelevant to the next game.

The past two years the games against Collingwood at Adelaide Oval have gone down to the wire (less than a kick in it). Next week will be no different.

Hopefully he was out of bounds.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Interesting stat - Hawks had their highest pressure rating for a match since 2018.

nah we lacked intensity haha

*apparently

 

[TheRankineFile]

Literally not sure how we won that. My eyes were clouded with tears at Birk bar with 5 minutes left.

They smelled blood

Mitchell probably had our record in Tasmania plastered all over the changerooms

Shit, I hope so...

 

[Mutineer]

imagine watching that and then bagging soligo haha

Yep I reckon he was our best for 4 quarter effort easily. 8 Clearances....4 Centre Clearances beating every mid on the ground, 635 metres gained our best.

I think that tells us plenty about the Wabbit from Arnhem Land

Good:

• Fogarty kicking a drop punt match winner from the boundary line
• Walker finally kicking straight, Sloane played well, Soligo bounced back strong, Laird.
• Rachele's first half
• Pedlar's first half
• Michalanney had 9 tackles

Bad

• ROB. Who is Ned Reeves and how did ROB lose to him
• Dawson's second half. There was a period of time, where he fumbled everything in the centre and got himself tackled, lost the ball and Hawthorn went forward
• McHenry as sub didn't impact the game when everyone was exhausted from tackling

Ugly

• Keays was ineffective in whatever role he was playing
• Jones. Disappointing game after 2 really strong performances. Could be first in line to be dropped.
• 88 vs 75 tackles says it all. Difficult game to watch and lucky to get away with the win.

 

[cleanhands]

Are any of the Ben Keays fan club that jumped all over me last week tell us all where Benny was in that second half?

Missing persons report is in order..

in the search party looking for RT

Interesting stat - Hawks had their highest pressure rating for a match since 2018.

They saw this as an opportunity for a win pre-game. Came with a plan. We let them off the hook in the second quarter and they smelled blood in the water.

 

[Mutineer]

He picked the absolute worst option available, it was incredibly stupid. He had more time available, and could have run around and drawn some players to make a free if there wasn't one behind him - and I'm sure there was given all the Hawks ran into our forward line.

You must be really really disappointed we got the win....

 

[CrowBloke]

Never in doubt.

Fogarty is a dead set, dead eye kick.

He'd have helped my heart strain if he'd dead-eyed, deadset kicked the set shot before that from about 40m out.

They couldn't complete. And that's really the most important part.

 

[StonesThrow]

Good:

Win when we play average and they play well. We're not a top side and can't expect to beat every team below us comfortably.

Hawks were pretty good. Barely gave us an inch at the stoppage and tackling was first class. Didn't let us get a quick handball out. They also did well on the rebound. Credit to them. Didn't play like a bottom team after the 1st quarter.

Walker and Fogarty probably bog despite being beaten in d50 in the air.

Michalanney again. Will he ever gave a bag kicked on him? Played very well defensively this week. Not much offensively this week.

Hard to pick winners this week. Lots of good and bad.

Pedlar had a decent game. He's a midfielder for certain. Crazy intensity at the contest. Fun to watch. Will get suspended a lot.

Bad :

Midfield I feel got torched a bit by a pretty average midfield. No real winners there. Even Dawson struggled at the contest.

Forwards struggled in the air for the most part. Their kpds did well when we didn't have time and space.

Doedee average after a very good game last week.

Toying with ur emotions

 

[kirky]

We werent great all day..didnt deserve to win, I had totally written us off at 3/4 time, and then Rankine and that beautiful man Fog. Awesome win in the end…

How do you write a team off at 3/4 time when you are leading (admittedly narrowly)?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Yep I reckon he was our best for 4 quarter effort easily. 8 Clearances....4 Centre Clearances beating every mid on the ground, 635 metres gained ground

I think that tells us plenty about the Wabbit from Arnhem Land

be biased, be emotional, be angry but don't be stupid NT rabbitt

soligo was huge, what a comeback from last week

would love to see soligo and sloane at pointy end of coaches votes

the old and the young

 

[Large 1]

SANFL team looked flat, AFL team looked flat.

Whatever we did over the 10 day break (probably put some load into the team) took the edge off.

But that was also a reversion to the mean.

 

[CrowBloke]

That’s a Hinkley win. Geelong away is now the litmus.

After we beat Pies at home, right?

 

[Betts are off]

Hopefully he was out of bounds.

It will make up for the 12 throws not called from Hawks players

 

[Shuestar13]

Apparently played their highest pressure game rating in 5 years, you bet they came to Tassie to beat us and throw everything at winning the game.

This was their GF.

Very true friend. Will be interesting to see if they bring the same level of “pressure” when we (WCE) play them there. That is a game that they are most capable of winning… if they are serious.

Walkers 4 goals and 20 disposals not a bad effort either
