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

[Hodginator]

Seen some good signs from the Hawthorn listed players.

 

[Brishawk]

O’Sullivan is going to debut early

He looks a real live wire.

 

[Jet_black]

The AFL listed guys such as hustwaite, Bennetts, O’Sullivan are exciting to watch. Brockman has done a few good things.

Callum Brown is putting in a good shift and the BH’s Bramble seems to be everywhere.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

He looks a real live wire.

Puts his head in the hole a lot. Beat oit three Cats for a ground ball with sheer will earlier on. Sam will love him.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

I tell you what, I think Bailey MacDonald could well feature in our next premiership side. Given that we are overstocked at halfback and on the wings, he might take a few years to break through like Dylan Moore

, but he possesses all the necessary traits to be a successful player. I can just imagine him going on a solo run from halfback to the 50-metre line and kicking us the winner in the 2028 Grand Final against Geelong.

 

[HedgeFund]

Lights seem to be on there.

6 quarters is along time to watch footy…never mind 8

You obviously never set up camp at Princes Park on a Saturday morning at 11.20am to watch our reserves, then after a pie and chips settles in for the seniors from 2.15pm to 4.50pm.

Rite of passage in the late 80s

That would be a really tough ask, considering geelong with finish 13th then.

 

[hardway]

We will be coming from a long way back. As long as the 2nd and 3rd year players continue to grow and don’t shy away from the tough ask we will see some light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[Brishawk]

Tell you what, Finn was impressive today. His strength is incredible but he was also able to open up the game with his handballs multiple times. Been able to hit players 20m outside the area of pressure is very valuable. Newk the other one who can do it (but we know he is already a star).

 

[hawk for 37]

Callum Brown better than a dozen or so players on the Hawks list.

 

[VandoHawk]

The most impressive thing about BMac is he seems to kick accurately despite the speed.

Also liking the look of Waak as a midfielder for BH.

 

[Hawk Vision]

Reserves look better than the 1’s

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Has Ned Long played all 7 quarters so far?

 

[VandoHawk]

Has Ned Long played all 7 quarters so far?

Only played the last quarter in the 1s.

 

[HedgeFund]

Day, Newk, Ferg, Chad and Moorey all have looked good too.

Yep - agree.

Preseason is as much about finding the positives as noting the failures.

This game saw 3-4 players put their hand up for Rd 1. Other than that, many failed to step up.

The consensus here seems to be there’s plenty of spots up for grabs.

Which hopefully means those who have felt safe in their HFC skin for the past 4 seasons will get a little uncomfortable when/if they put in a stinker, and respond next week.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Only played the last quarter in the 1s.

Are you sure? I thought I saw him playing earlier than that.

 

[TylerDurden]

Thought Finn's kicking looked better today.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Didn't think it was a contested game tbh

[hfc70]

Number 40 for Box Hill, has electric pace and a good boot, then I realized it was Seamus.

Shades of Tassie Cryptik / Nash

 

[PenAndPaper]

Are you sure? I thought I saw him playing earlier than that.

Definitely played in the first, also pretty sure second.

Games started bang on 2 pm in the 80’s

 

[PenAndPaper]

O'Sullivan and Bennetts have looked great

 

[Jaeger007]

Like to see Jeka start next week ahead of Kozi

Has Ned Long played all 7 quarters so far?

Bramble too?
