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

[Dazza the Viking]

Someone sold MacDonald with a poor handball

 

[Yardie]

Must say been a bit disappointed

 

[hawkinoz]

Quick ball movement from cats exposed a few holes

Must say been a bit disappointed

We’re playing the reigning premiers at their home ground. Honestly think we haven’t been too bad, a bit of polish on the final kick and we’d be closer.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Can’t see us playing Kossie and a resting Ruckman deep forward, hits the ground and straight out of there

 

[fpm84]

Excuse the interruption but is Meek playing?

Doesn’t look like it

yeah no ward, dgb, cj, stephens?, long, bruest?, brockman and any other draftees apart from weddle that quarter. Hopefully all will play later if not inj

 

[Bugs1977]

Excuse the interruption but is Meek playing?

Yes

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Can’t see us playing Kossie and a resting Ruckman deep forward, hits the ground and straight out of there

It’s not hitting the ground though, Ratagolea has had 3-4 marks.

 

[Liverbird]

Need to compete harder in fwd and backline.

Have been too easy to score against in this first quarter.

Butler, McDonald, Newk standouts so far.

Kosi, Worpel, Scrimshaw can only improve from here.

 

[Bardo State]

Quick ball movement from cats exposed a few holes

They frequently got an overlap in transition and our defenders were spending a lot of time running up to cover the next man in the chain.

Lots of Finn, Nash, Worpel in those midfield combos so skills were a bit frustrating.

Kosi isn't getting anything with speed, size or patterns from Esava. Worn like a glove and held out of contests.

Weddle had a rough Q.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Excuse the interruption but is Meek playing?

Playing CHF

 

[fpm84]

Yes

Thanks - will keep an eye out (am at the game). We were linked to him a year or two ago so I’m keen to see how he goes

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

there has been some serious turnover howlers with players open which have resulted in easy goals going the other way. And then this results in team mates not running as hard to make position to we are kick to a contest. Rinse and repeat at present. That is not how Sam has asked them to play.

 

[KingJiath]

Ward is on the field now

Worpel wearing the tape on his shoulder in addition to his near-shaven hair is making me think twice about whether that's James Worpel

or Tom Mitchell out there. Let's see if it actually turns him into Tom Mitchell, considering it appears he'll also be playing Mitchell's former role.

 

[Bardo State]

Ward, Jai, Day, Reeves centre bounce combo!!!!!

 

[hawkman]

It’s not hitting the ground though, Ratagolea has had 3-4 marks.

Kosi was almost uncompetitive in some of those contests. Once out of position doesn't fight hard enough to stop those marks

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Reeves, Newk, Ward and Day.

 

[Yardie]

We’re playing the reigning premiers at their home ground. Honestly think we haven’t been too bad, a bit of polish on the final kick and we’d be closer.

I'm still a bit disappointed regardless of all you have said. Let's see the response.

Anyone saying we need polish as an excuse gives me Clarko final few years PTSD

Was always going to be a clean clearance

 

[CHUBBSS]

Speed skills and separation with some
Desperation is the modern game.

Would like to see a lot better skills by round 1 everyone looking very rusty

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

We’re a work in progress, particularly in the middle.
