Review Good/Bad v Hawthorn, Round 2

[Pdub]

 

[MRB37]

Metres gained isn't everything, but Titch and JOM had 74 possessions between them and 446 metres gained combined.

Sloane (507 from 25) and Smith (447 from 24) beat them combined on individual efforts.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Mackay pulled his career out of the toilet. Was a goner at half time.

 

[BRL121]

What a great win today but one thing really pissed me off. Obviously the umpiring and the advantage rule. Look at the first qtr and the goals thr hawks got. Most were from that but Hampton tried it a couple of times and never was aloud. What a loas of crap

Good point!

 

[Prahran 2 Sturt]

Cameron is from QLD. We've been following him closely for some time.

I'm not 100% sure but thought he was recruited from wa?

Yeah. I didn't believe that they had that many possessions. I didn't notice them much in the telecast because thay didn't seem to harm us. Certainly, (old) Mitchell and Lewis were much more troublesome.

 

[Footypie32]

Mackay can't get 1. With only 13 possessions. Even with his goals.
He was nowhere for 5/8 of the game.

Yeah, I was being a bit generous.

Won't happen again.

 

[jenny61_99]

I'm not 100% sure but thought he was recruited from wa?

Yeah he was, but eyes were on him from one season in school boy footy in QLD. Kind of why he got the chance in WA.

 

[Legz]

BAD - Recieving this email from the club 15mins after the delayed telecast starts!!

 

[Prahran 2 Sturt]

Yeah he was, but eyes were on him from one season in school boy footy in QLD. Kind of why he got the chance in WA.

Well I can see why. Gun!

Mackay pulled his career out of the toilet. Was a goner at half time.

At least now we know he has the guts to take it upon himself to take the game on. It was a great 4th qtr from him.

 

[MRB37]

I'm not 100% sure but thought he was recruited from wa?

Yes. Was playing for the Swans Districts in the WAFL. Believe he moved to WA from QLD when he was 17(?) and had been playing rugby previous to that. Only had limited AFL experience, but he'd been scouted by Phil Bunn (SA/WA recruiter). Was said he only had 20-30 games of AFL experience at the time of his drafting.

 

[GROTTO]

Still more effective than Dixon even in his current condition.

Was Phil bunn responsible for McGovern as well?

 

[GreyCrow]

Good:
An ability to change things up while the game is in motion
Jacobs dominating
Sloane
David Mackay to feature on the next NAB Little Wins advert
We won without an even contribution like we did last week


The Bad:
Some players dropped off from last week
Curtly Hampton turning into trouble looking for the handball give. Its called football
Hartigans decision making when going by foot
Daniel Talia looks terribly out of sorts
If I f#### see Taylor Walker kick into the man again my neighbours will have me committed

The Ugly:
The umpiring was terrible for both sides but the worst ever decision was the ITB against Mackay. I am glad he came back from that.
I think we get too close to the man on the mark at times creating this need to use our toes to create height

 

[Mattrox]

Thought he stood up in the first half with his run and seemed to be the only forward genuinely providing a target. His execution still isn't A grade quality.

Topped the side with 31 possies, not bad for a b grade player. My only knock was the missed goal that should have been slotted.

 

[Mattrox]

I'm not 100% sure but thought he was recruited from wa?

Family from Qld but you are correct that he was playing WAFL where he was recruited.

 

[MRB37]

Was Phil bunn responsible for McGovern as well?

Believe so. Think Bunn had been following Mitch since Jeremy was drafted.

 

[betterthanu]

Was Phil bunn responsible for McGovern as well?

Yep, loved him apparently and basically forced Ogilvie to pull the trigger.

 

[VSTone]

Tackling and hardness at the contest after qtr time was great. We put the hurt on them for a change!
Could have and should have dished out more I reckon.

 

[spenze]

Good: The ITB call against Mookay, fired the little fella up.

 

[StonesThrow]

Sloane is almost an entire midfield in himself. Absolute beast. Everything you want in a footballer.

Jacobs best game in ages. Contested marking improved.

Cameron is looking very good. You kind of think he might be a flash in the pan at times but he's really showing he might be one of our better players this season. Very aggressive and very good at contested footy.

I wrote Otten off a year ago and I'm pretty upset that I (and most) did. Great bloke. Has really come back up to AFL standard when it looked like a million miles away at times.

Milera has such great use by foot. Keep playing him.

I thought Mackay wasn't as good as last week, but did stand up with those goals. Good on him. He's a courageous player and I feel sorry for him a lot as he has always struggled even though he puts his body on the line.

Talia was good.

Laird a bit off.

Lynch still not in form, but improved.

Crouch quiet for once, but had some very nice handballs under pressure. Good player.

Walker wasn't loving it today but he had to compete a lot against 3 players. Got involved in a lot of scores still. Standard tex in that regard.

 

[chazwazza]

Bad- Another s*** start.
Good- Ability to once again turn it around. Young kids getting more game time under their belts, Cameron, Knight, McGovern, Atkins, Hampton & Milera.
Ugly- Jakksyn's footy nous.

 

[hippyhippy]

Ugly .. umpiring and hendo.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Absolutely perplexing umpiring by the same old maggot with the bald head
He should have played on to advantage 3 times for us but ah no...cheat!!
The Muppet that payed 'in the back' for a Hawthorn goal is THE worst decision I have seen watching VFL in my entire far king life.

#freekickhawthorn was putrid today.
