They have only beaten the Bulldogs who are rubbish. Carlton, say no more and us and we are poor, so they haven’t been that impressive

Rubbish have you not watched gamesToo true. He can't break a tackle.
3 points between Bruest, Gunston & Roughead told the story. Can't win games when your forwards don't kick goals.
Lewis play?
Ceglar , Lewis terrible big forwards need reviewGenerally a better effort this week. The first 3 quarters the real difference was some really head scratching decision making and poor execution under little to no pressure. Things like Mirra's missed tackle. Smith absolutely butchering the ball going forward all day (often taking the wrong option as well). Sicily had 2 aerial efforts in quick succession where he spoilt our own man then failed to impact the contest as 3rd man up leading to a goal.
The most frustrating part of the game for mine was our last quarter. When we were down 3-4 goals we absolutely refused to take the game on. We played like a team of robots too scared to make a mistake and we put the eagles defense under zero pressure until it was too late.
Couple of poor choices from the coaching panel. Gaff was left to run around on his own the entire day. Perhaps there most damaging player rarely had a man go anywhere near him. I would have though a hard tag was in order. Really hard to work out the thought process there. The opposition week in, week out put a hard tag on our most important player. The other being the selection of two ruckmen and Mitch Lewis. They really didn't provide us with any contested marking or help us lock the ball in our 50. It also left us a midfield rotation down with Cousins out of the side and you could really tell our midfield was struggling to run the game out.
Still some positives. Frawley looked a lot better this week. O'meara played his best game in a while, Hardwick was great apart from one poor intercept mark attempt. Rough was good. Ceglar made it through the games.
I see on the AFL website Smith is listed as being our best player. I must have been watching another game because although he busted a gut and got plenty of the ball, it was probably the worst game by foot I've ever seen from him. Butchered the ball going forward all day plus gave them their first goal of the game with a terrible kick.
I didn't say they were unbeatable here, but they are 3-0. These are games that they would have dropped in the past. They are top of the ladder and have only lost one game for the year. Losing to them is far from embarrassingThey have only beaten the Bulldogs who are rubbish. Carlton, say no more and us and we are poor, so they haven’t been that impressive
Joke post?Has a Breust 'dont argue' ever worked? Every time he gets the ball in open play I just called holding the ball now
So if we aren’t bombing it long we will keep kicking it backwards to maintain posession rather than attacking a win from behind.
I’m a little lost as to what the hawks are supposed to stand for at the moment...???
To me there is a loss of identity & direction & there isn’t anyone prepared to take a game on for fear of the wrong result.
No name dropping this week but... ahh yep
#confused
On a positive note..
Hardwick is becoming my favourite player by far!
The kid is a flat out goer & never hesitates. Loves the contest & shows serious pride across all aspects of his game.
Provide evidenceRubbish have you not watched games
Dumb post without watching the game. Lewis was good.Dumb selection for mine. Desperately needed to win this to keep in contact with top 8. There is no way you can expect Lewis to provide more than Shoey or even TOB at this stage of his career. Clarko has clearly given up on finals IMO which is the only way you can make sense of team selections for the last 2 weeks.
Wasn't able to watch, but from the stats sheet, it seems like Burton is indeed finding some form again. Looking forward to seeing Cyril and Birchall back in the team after the bye.
Losing another game where we matched our opponent for inside 50s is frustrating. Hopefully Cyril will help fix that.
I think you should be mocked. Ridiculous post.If any team manages to lose to us for the rest of the year they should be mocked
The guy is all Australian three time premiership player if you can’t s his value hand in your membershipProvide evidence
fish out of water has potential but not up to itDumb post without watching the game. Lewis was good.
MuI think you should be mocked. Ridiculous post.
must be be drunkThought Mitch Lewis played his role good today!
And yet Lewis did provide far more than Shoey or O'Brien.Dumb selection for mine. Desperately needed to win this to keep in contact with top 8.

Pegged this as a close loss and a big improvement on last week and there you have it
Good signs: Jaegar and Impey
Bad signs: Forwards not kicking goals
