Training Hawthorn intra-club, Latrobe Uni, 5pm Wednesday 15th

[KermitJagger]

Meek and Noodle both pushing forward at the same time really stretches the defenders.

100%

Reminds me of how effective Big Boy and Hale were at exploiting mismatches. Difference is, this time we've got them both at the same age - not one nearing the end of his career.

 

[Hodginator]

 

[Burtman]

Husthwaite is very impressive in traffic, has managed to wriggle his way out of a few sticky situations

 

[HappyHawk_1]

Hard task for him, even at his height he's still giving up over 10cm

There's very few defenders in the league who aren't giving up at least 10cm on Noodle!

From memory I think he's technically around 211cm... can't think of many defenders > 2 metres!

If he can get some genuine forward craft with our speedy gamestyle, his height would be a huge weapon.

 

[TDS7]

Oh yeah, it's all coming together.

 

[LegendLewis]

Ward playing on a wing?

 

[tl92]

Meek and Ned both outmarking undersized opponents and kicking goals. Brown a little more competitive this qtr. weddle getting abit of it off the wing

Hard not to be undersized against those two

 

[tl92]

Is there a link to watch somewhere by any chance?

Harris Andrews is the only genuine key defender within 10cm

 

[KermitJagger]

Seems like Meek has been involved in plenty

 

[Burtman]

Ward playing on a wing?

And rotating in the middle.

Seems like Meek has been involved in plenty

He has been ok, his marks have been against much smaller opponents, no big pack grabs, but he’s a monster and athletic out of the middle

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

Sic outmarked Lynch before the end of Q2

 

[Dewnior]

Not sure I quite understand that

 

[KermitJagger]

Sic outmarked Lynch before the end of Q2

A 10cm taller Sic is the best player in the league imo. He's 188cm and regularly beats guys 2m tall.

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

Some push and shove happened at the end of the second quarter. There is a moment in Q1 where Sic and Butts are on each other as well.

Channel 7 is here

 

[Slainte]

Not sure I quite understand that

Cunning - they look towards the boundary but chip it to the centre. Requires extraordinary peripheral vision.

Long, Lynch, Frenchy, Scrim, Weddle all gold now too.

 

[matey]

A few skirmishes …… reckon we will see a bit more of the old aggressive Hawks this year. And Noodle and Meek rotating full forward and sometimes when out of position to mark they tap it to Moore and co at their feet with some success. Excited with this pair both huge men!

[Pinoy Hawk]

Agree with this. Looks like he got enough time in traffick.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Seems like Meek has been involved in plenty

He has.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

DGB wacked Kosi half way through the second quarter and there was a nice show of strength

Just on half time DGB came in late on a CMac mark and it was a big melee entering half time

Husthwaite looks a good prospect
McKenzie looks classy

The Gold defence is too strong, need to mix it up

Greene looks comfortable and been good

Worpel needs to clean up his disposal

Meek very impressive with Noodle
