Review Good/Bad v Hawthorn, Round 2

[Kerleys Ghost]

Could be a Nick Riewoldt as well. Might even be 0 weeks.


EDIT: given the showdown /bombers comment - wouldn't it be great if we can get off to a 4 -0 start, even 2 and 2 would be tolerable.

Looked very bad. Anything under 5 weeks would be a miracle.

2-2 would not be tolerable. For starters, it would involve losing to Port.

Just got back from the G....

THAT FELT SOOOOO GOOD.

I had these lippy arrogant Dawk flogs all around me and as usual thought they were profound victims of the umpiring.

Half way through the last quarter I lost it and told the campaigner to **** off in no uncertain terms. The sheepish trudge up the race was MAGNIFICENT VIEWING.

2-0 comrades.

 

[AdvancedCrowbot]

Jacobs was a behemoth. Can't overlook that performance with no back up ruckman - even if he was up against inanimate carbon rod Vickery for much of the contest.

Took some yuuuge grabs m8

lol'd hard at the carbon rod call.

 

[Rave Slave]

Jaeger O'Meara is like a paraplegic Tom Rockliff.

No legs

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Good:
Charlie Cameron. I thought this guy would be a good player but im starting to think we may have an A grader on our hands.
David Mackay. What the hell. Nowhere to be seen in the first quarter but built into it and really classy late.
Sam Jacobs. Best game for the club in a long long time. Keep up it bigfella.
Tex Walker. Best KP on the ground and really straightened us up.
Matt Crouch. Really liked his contested work as usual.
Sloane. Entered beast mode in the second half after a questionable first half.
Knight. Thought his running was huge all game.

Bad:
Douglas. One to forget Richard. More of R1 thanks and stop trying to be cute with your disposal. Either handball to a clearly free runner of run back of the mark and kick long.
Jenkins injury. Hopefully only a rib and 6 weeks out.
Kelly. Awful.
Hartigan. Really struggling. Lever in for Kelly and Otten to a scott stevens role? Really need cheney and Doedee fit come mid year.
Brodie Smith. Really hated his game.

Ugly:
Umpiring. I dont care anymore, its clearly corrupt.

Agree with most of your post, but I thought Hartigan was strong against Roughead. Good spoiling & positioning to take marks when Hawks were pushing forward.

5 weeks best case scenario. Could easily be 10 or more.

Showdowns are never easy and Essendon might be a lot better than we realise.

Sloane would be back in 3. Whatever it is.

 

[Vhaluus]

I love the boys too but noone is better than Sloane.

No, but they will be over their careers.

 

[mistylake]

And Leigh Matthews is the only person on earth who thought it was a good call.

Yeah well, Leigh Matthews is a senile **** wit so that don't mean much.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Good

- organic growth

Will be best case 4 to 6 weeks I feel. Sandilands was pretty much out for the season, so let's hope it's nowhere near as bad as that.

 

[Roovolution]

Just watching the game now, geez CC last two weeks. I don't know what Pykey has said to CC and McKay but wowee they're two completely different players playing on a whole new level which is exactly what this team needed to improve. Anyone suggesting organic growth was bullshit was flat out wrong.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Rough start bit I'll certainly be watching a replay of that one! After 6 ****ing years, we've finally ****ing defeated them. Oh and eat a bag dicks Nicholls and your minions.

 

[GROTTO]

Was this game not live into Adelaide? Wow, just wow. Thats so bloody unfair for those that cant afford Foxtel ffs.

 

[JP Sauce]

So to be serious for a moment, does the umpire who paid that free now get demoted to the VFL for a month? Or will whoever took Gieshen's job simply come out on Tuesday and quietly say they got it wrong. Meanwhile someone who is clearly unfit to to his job will keep doing it.

The AFL admitting one of their umpires isn't up to it? That will never, ever happen

 

[SES SA]

Rory Sloane had 16 tackles. 16!

16 times? Wooooooooo!

Mate we all know the answer to this one unfortunately.

Today was a bit annoying so I may have to get it. Can't hang out at the pub all day! Lol

Just got back home from the game.
Good win I thought, Man Why the **** didn't we draft burton? I know doedee will be good but jeez burton is a beauty.

I'm hoping it's similar to Cockatoo/Milera.

Cockatoo looked better early but Milera on form this year looks like he's gone past him.

We seem to be focused on long term potential rather than immediate impact.

Galluci vs SPP could be similar.

 

[Murray2503]

Just watched that dirty little skinny hawk that intentionally used his elbow on jenkins. A suspension is in order to send a message to players using their elbows as a weapon. Very dangerous and i hope he is playing the crows next time we meet.

Foxtel is a waste of money but I have it purely for the sport and in HD. Otherwise if it was on FTA I wouldnt have it.

You would have likely spent more at the pub than the $50 foxtel subscription
