Game Day Hawks vs Crows in Tasmania, R6 2023

[Danger in Texas]

Been watching on and off, but by my view it’s our goalkicking that’s letting us down the most. Reverting back to R1/2

Really need to be taking those chances, we’d be 3 goals ahead if it was R3-5

 

[Twist_of_Lemon]

Nice to see Soligo rebound from a poor week

Both Rachele and Pedlar busy

I wish a number of Rachele's kicks had been cleaner, because his effort has been fantastic so far that its a shame there hasn't been the reward to match.

 

[Crow till I die]

That's it, just need the 4 points. No matter how ugly

A tight ugly win down there and the media will stop pumping us up which imo will be a benefit

 

[Jeffcrowe]

We haven’t helped ourself, some of our kicking has been awful, especially Rachelle going forward. Hes burnt at least 4 entries.

Plus we’ve dropped some stupidly east marks.

Can we stop kicking to Frost?

We’ve only had 3 more inside 50s which is a worry given our possession dominance

Rachele could have 4 and 4 goal assists

Frustrating for sure

Hawks back 6 is their strength

Do we even up numbers ahead of ball ?

Maybe

 

[WeeBlake]

30 odd in first quarter

+ pressure isn’t just tackles it’s closing time and space

Agree, both of which they have done very well. Both things can be true- they’ve played out of their skins with huge effort, and we’ve been sloppy but not disgraceful.

 

[ams4crows]

Good, Bad and Ugly will be fun today ..

The Ugly is purely because of the pressure Hawthorn are putting on us

 

[Footypie32]

Murphy reverting to type, his purple patch of looking like a competent player is over.

We need to be more ruthless with players who come in for injuries/suspensions.

Players whose trademark is pressure become obsolete when everyone is applying pressure.

 

[CrowToon]

Muzz and Max saving us down back. Nick's losing the coaching battle. We just need our key talls up forward to lift and the team to show some composure.

Cpuld try kicking to their advantage...

 

[Redleg Crow]

Our "talent" in Jones, Rankine, Thilthorpe, Fogarty and Milera need to get their hands on the ball. All 6 disposals or less.

Jones touches have all been valuable, so yep, more will be better. Fog getting this delivery and bounces. Rankine might need to go find it because each touch he has is gold

 

[Jeffcrowe]

No team can keep that pressure up for 4quarters. We will break them.

Hoping this too

But will take gumption , hope we up for it

 

[Multiballz]

Rachele could have 4 and 4 goal assists

Yes!

The Ugly is purely because of the pressure Hawthorn are putting on us

A bit. We're also having an off day in our forward line - seeing how many clear cut chances we've wasted - which happens.

The good news is defensively, we're holding up for the most part and have yet to be really punished for it.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Lots of scoring assists, not enough goal assists

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Agree, both of which they have done very well. Both things can be true- they’ve played out of their skins with huge effort, and we’ve been sloppy but not disgraceful.

We’ve been on with intensity

And off with execution

This is completely different to playing Carlton where we could waltz around un pressured last week , gofer ladder positions and big names

Dawson even fell over had a cup of tea and hit a forward last week

We need to adapt fast and start to execute without losing our intensity

 

[1990crow]

Jones touches have all been valuable, so yep, more will be better. Fog getting this delivery and bounces. Rankine might need to go find it because each touch he has is gold

Rachele, Laird and Dawson need to connect with these players more and stop giving it to classic old crow bomber types.

 

[Crows I Am]

Very scrappy half. Our skills are terrible, but Hawks pressure has been really good. They are not letting us play our quick skilful style that we have the last few weeks. If we can get some clean footy in the 2nd half we should get the win. I'd just be happy to get any win at this point.

 

[maxlilly]

Lots of pressure out there today but we are dropping way too many marks
Can Doedee keep his feet, constantly on the ground
Fog not looking that good either

 

[Shaunbkk]

Murphy reverting to type, his purple patch of looking like a competent player is over.

We need to be more ruthless with players who come in for injuries/suspensions.

Murphy has been better than: Thilthorpe x 10 Hinge Sloane and no worse than Dawson Laird Rachelle's short passes and most players pressure!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Our effort is fine

It’s execution

Hawks are on , it’s afl football nothing is a given

We have turned up , nothing to do with that

Too many skill errors under elite pressure , can hawks keep up that pressure or can we start to execute better under that type of pressure

Just need to get it done , 5 points will do

48 tackles in a half is really high

 

[Moonwatcher]

Hope opposition don't use this game as a template against the Crows.

 

[Scorpus]

Nicks nailed it when he said our terrible skills have increased the pressure on us and that's the main issue

 

[Drummond]

I wish a number of Rachele's kicks had been cleaner, because his effort has been fantastic so far that its a shame there hasn't been the reward to match.

Controversial take maybe but IMO Rachele’s kicking isn’t very damaging.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Hard ball gets - 25-12. We’re not going softly

Dropped marks really hurting. Allowing them to get pressure on us.

 

[CrowToon]

Hope opposition don't use this game as a template against the Crows.

Requesting home games in Launceston? God I hope not.
