Game Day Hawthorn v Bulldogs, 7.50pm @ MCG

[Hawks1994]

Being smashed in the contested stuff. They are first to the pill almost every time and their strength is that transition from inside to outside.

We've overused the ball a few times too, inviting pressure onto us

Had some exceptional passages throughout the half but far too inconsistent.

Dogs now well on top in the centre, they are just relentless

 

[Gaston]

You can only carry so many players, unfortunately tonight it appears it is one too many.

 

[macdaddio]

We're just missing roughy too much it's simple as that, no matter if our structure is the same we just don't have anyone big dominating in our forward 50..,

 

[Blaze Storm]

Poppy needs to get into the midfield

 

[The A Team Van]

And saves some for the entire back 6 who are playing on cruise control.

Frawley has been very good

 

[randall boner]

Umps turned match hartung tackle free was bullshit and channel 7 barracking for dogs worse.

Memo Doggies:
Don't poke the bear!

Birchall has been one of their best. It was a great goal assist.

Breust, HTF do you miss that? Stop trying to take 11 or 12 of them on yourself.

Great goal by Hilly (great clearance by Burgoyne)

Sicily seems to be flying regularly but is yet to clunk one and has only got close once

Gunner has been quiet. Would like to see one taller forward mark in our 50.

 

[Pessimistic]

Time to dig deep

 

[JoeHawk]

Is it fair to blame Breust for the big momentum swing after missing dead in front?

Hell no. They have missed about 3-4 absolute sitters. They should probably be 3 goals up.

 

[bindas12]

what the hell is going on ?>? why do we keep losing midfield battles so badly... and Birchall is soooo jittery its worse than frawley...Need Hodge to go to centre bounce and push the ball forward!!...

 

[Paul007]

That was a stupid miss from Breust, even Rioli stuffed up with that pass to Gunners.In front at half time, this game was always going to be close.

 

[Bradkli]

Ryan Shoenmakers- 1 kick 0 marks... Cue the supporters that know nothing who raved about tim obrien with their "but he's playing his role by crashing packs"
This is the guy that will be Hawthorn's key forward for the next 5 years!!!!

 

[legstump]

If the dogs put a man at our left back pocket from our kick-ins we wouldn't touch the ball for the rest of the game.

 

[Mitchell54]

Wheres Hartung been?

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Hawks also need more contributions from the second tier of players like Puopolo, Hill, Smith, etc. They have been inconspicuous tonight.

Agree, our leaders have been pretty good, but our middle tier have been putrid. Time for a kick up the ass from Clarko, and that last 10mins deserves nothing less.

Oh, and since when has the dangerous tackle rule been in? Has it been paid since Hodgey got done for one last year?

Schoe. Hartung.

Lewis, Gunston, Smith to cut loose 3rd qtr. Hopefully.

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

my heart bleeds for how hard its been for the drug cheat Crameri

Hill has been good.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

This may sound like a stupid question, but is McEvoy aware he plays for Hawthorn? Whenever he's rucking, the Dogs are dominating. He's either tapping to them or to no one, which suits them.

Not sure our mids know how to a ruckman who wins taps.

 

[matsta1975]

Umps turned match hartung tackle free was bullshit and channel 7 barracking for dogs worse.

Game had already turned

 

[Tyrone Time]

We're just missing roughy too much it's simple as that, no matter if our structure is the same we just don't have anyone big dominating in our forward 50..,

Is Rough a midfielder who has 1 kick and 6 handballs in a half?
Oh and 3 clangers in those 7 disposals????

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Umps turned match hartung tackle free was bullshit and channel 7 barracking for dogs worse.

That was a baffling decision. Non controlling umpire paid it.

Hasn't exactly had many opportunities, obrien just get pushed off the footy way too easy at least shoey brings the ball to ground.

 

[Mappa]

FFS just like last week letter back in.

And against the Pies as well
