Review Hawthorn v Cats - match sim - Thursday 23rd Feb, GMHBA

[H00t]

With ball in hand we have been pretty poor for the most part.

But what’s been most obvious for me is the difference between the two teams without the ball.

Cats defensive work is much better than ours. Putting much more pressure on our players while also not letting us get out the back. The opposite of what we are doing.

Showing us where we need to get to if we want to compete

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Yeah Ward is class.

 

[TDS7]

Josh Ward is going to be some player.

Hopefully by the time the season commences some other guys start looking like they play AFL footy as well.

 

[VandoHawk]

Scrimshaw summed up our defensive effort with those last two plays lol

 

[Jazzfan]

Scrimshaw no lock rd 1.

He's coasting, and wasn't he left out of the probables side in the intra as a warning?

Bramble has been getting lots of praise all pre-season and whilst burning it a bit by foot, has been much better today.

Dare I say DGB has been our best defender this quarter?

 

[HedgeFund]

Scrimshaw summed up our defensive effort with those last two plays lol

He also kicked the ball OOB under zero pressure.

 

[badgrill]

wasn't he expected to be playing fwd?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Geez that ruck work by Reeves late in the quarter was awful.

 

[hawkman]

And there is why some doubt whether Scrimshaw is best 22. He coughs it up under pressure

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Worpel and Nash, No from me for round 1

 

[VandoHawk]

Dare I say DGB has been our best defender this quarter?

Yeah one bullshit free aside he’s been very good.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Geez that ruck work by Reeves late in the quarter was awful.

Has been a bit disappointing for me, doesn’t do enough around ground, Surprise that Meek hasn’t spend a lot of time in the Ruck

 

[PT Bar None]

I wonder if we could poach Stewart and play him as a forward?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Has been a bit disappointing for me, doesn’t do enough around ground, Surprise that Meek hasn’t spend a lot of time in the Ruck

He never does really.

Pretty much the definition of a centre square ruck, it'll be interesting to see how it unfolds as the year goes on.

 

[Bugs1977]

Think it’s important to remember that outside of us being young we also don’t have our best team on the park. Yes the same with the Cats but being a seasoned team things don’t fall away as it does with us. No matter why this is all valuable game time.

 

[peetoo]

Dissapointing how well our cast off ruckman has been. Surely ruck contests start 50 50

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

He never does really.

Pretty much the definition of a centre square ruck, it'll be interesting to see how it unfolds as the year goes on.

He only needs to play 13 more games for it to be a success.

 

[peetoo]

Captaincy wrecking sicilys game?

Too soon?

 

[Dazza the Viking]

So the reigning premiers goes up against the youngest team in the AFL, nice scheduling by the AFL

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Hopefully by the time the season commences some other guys start looking like they play AFL footy as well.

You're a young side. Heaps of positive signs.

 

[Tuck In]

Be a big effort if we win more than 5 games this season, team is so raw and the skills need so much work.

"Hello darkness, my old friend....."

 

[HODGEYROAD]

He only needs to play 13 more games for it to be a success.

Hahah I love how you're more mind****ed by me over Hawthorn actually becoming good #rentfree

 

[HODGEYROAD]

"Hello darkness, my old friend....."

I love the likes of

Ward
Day
C Mac

Those guys will be players, not all doom and gloom.

 

[TDS7]

Josh Ward makes me so happy every time he gets the footy.
