Game Day Hawthorn vs. Fremantle Round 18 2024

[Heart Of Purple]

Need to find the best way to utilise Jackson.

He's obviously a freak with unreal talent, and will always have a job to do in the ruck as a backup. Been missing as a forward though, and just gets dominated (excluding around the ground) as a main ruck.

I wonder what he'd be like on the wing ...
Nightmare matchup, but could also be exploited the other way. Pure strength is probably contest but I'm not convinced he'd cut it as an inside mid ... Hard to see him being a better option in there than a Brodie type?

Need to avoid over handballing and get the damn thing inside 50 quicker out of stoppages. We have enough physicality in attack to make that work better.

Anyone who says we don't need Darcy just needs to watch this. Jackson is not the answer at ruck full time.

You're giving Jackson an scapegoat. He's been extremely average for over a month even when Darcy is playing. Treacy needs to give him some lessons on contested marking.

 

[Footskill]

We seem to be going to sleep in 2nd quarters..hopefully we wake up after half time

Gave them few soft goals, and beaten in the stoppages and clearances

 

[mattis117]

Well yeh that’s why he’s jumping but what I am saying is he often goes too early and is down before the ball is

No, he is doing that on purpose... That is exactly the tactic. If he is not early Meek will push his airborne body away from the ball and just tap it to his mid.

 

[Steinfreo]

Expectation is our greatest rival. come on boys just play good.

 

[gaskin]

That non htb on Sicily changed the game. They went straight down the other end and scored then went on a run. If that is paid and we kick the goal then I think we would be up by 3 or 4 goals and comfortable.

Even when Jackson does mark it's always a double grabber. Never gets it in the one grab and it ****s us over so much.

I think we are handballing too much in the middle, get it in long and quick - Treacy and Amiss have had good hands, and Voss is capable of clunking them.

Very tough game, the guys who like to take a moment and pick a target have been getting pinged htb.

Fyfe has been good inside, our second and third hand passes are getting picked off.

It’s a very high handball ratio game. We have scored more when we lowered the ratio a few games back.

Obviously a freak? Lol why, because the media says so?

 

[poshman]

Doesn’t look that bad to be honest. Hit a few of our missed chances and we’d be comfortably in front. The bleating is embarrassing.

Hawks are a tough game all week... find ourselves in a tough game and whinge like we expected a 100 point win.

Yeah I agree. We're handballing forwards into the corridor and the Hawks are waiting for it to turn it over and go the other way.

Jackson needs to hit his targets when handballing. He keeps missing and it's putting massive pressure on the next guy.

 

[Jezzitizle]

This is absolutely a game where coaching is critical.

Need JL to get it over Sniper Sam.

 

[Mags98]

as soon as young and treacy got involved again we looked likely

won’t take much to get back on top here, back the boys in to get the clearance work sorted

Chapman having a poor decision making game.
Taking the player on like Johnson. Gee just handball it and go.

Your pre game prediction to this post has changed a lot hey?

 

[s_wd6]

This game has nothing to do with expectation and drinking bathwater. It's entirely to do with the method we're moving the ball and the way Hawks have combatted it. No coincidence that whenever we bite the bullet and decide to kick out of a contested situation rather than handball that we get a chance at goal.

This type of comment is embarrassing. I am a day one supporter and I trust what the club is doing and what we are building.

Maybe a bit dramatic at half time with a goal or two in it.

The method and the execution is just so frustrating at the moment

 

[FreoRicci]

Amiss missing those is inexcusable.

 

[Mesc]

Voss Off. Walters On.

 

[Taylor]

Was it three set shots that quarter we missed? Banfield, Amiss, Voss?

I think two of those rebounded for goals against pretty quick too.

We have room to improve.

 

[Descent]

Win contested possession, kick it forward fast, take advantage of our trio of talls. That’s the game.

 

[YelloMit]

Jackson is just a tall, lanky midfielder. Play him like that.

 

[s_wd6]

Amiss missing those is inexcusable.

His new routine works for him, but he doesn't seem to do it when he's closer to goal??

 

[freo_leo29]

Lose this and it undoes the Sydney win tbh (which had undone the dogs loss)

such a frustrating team
