Toast How can this Hawthorn side be stopped?

[WalshistheGOAT]

Careful we don't actually want to lose you. De-escalate.

Meow once again...

You make this way too easy my triggered friend. So tightly wound the past few weeks. It's just footy.

 

[parsons nose]

They’ve shown they struggle against quality opposition, so they’ll be stopped with 2 losses in a row against top 8 sides

Trouble is, the quality opposition that’s being touted are prone to lapses in form as this detailed analysis demonstrates;

Wow and I thought ud appreciate the Parisian Olympic festivities in that GiF

Sydney, Brisbane, Carlton, GWS, WBD, Freo etc in finals at full strength I think the list holes of the Hawks list would be exposed badly.

If Hawthorn win their next two games, this year they will have beaten ALL those teams you've just mentioned, except Sydney.

 

[RCAB]

If the Blues lose to the Hawks in 2 weeks I'll probably just nuke my computer. Would be an all time choke job.

Curnow and McKay should kick about 20 between them vs ur backline as it is.

You won't do anything if Hawks beat Carlton, you'll just complain about the umpiring, or that you had injuries.

And what will you do as a Hawks fan if u get smacked?

 

[RCAB]

Always..... Since stats were collected, Hawks are dead last on the overall free kick ladder percentage

AFL Tables - Free Kicks

No surprise seeing Geelong in the top half

Some clubs pay money for umpiring to favour them. Obviously Hawthorn coming last historically means we never do this.

 

[RCAB]

And what will you do as a Hawks fan if u get smacked?

Nothing and move on till next week. But if Hawks beat GWS this week, they'll start favourites against Carlton. It's a 50/50 game with the bookies right now, so you predicting Carlton "by how much" is peak delusional.

You will struggle to get 50 inside 50s for the whole game against Hawthorn, which means you'll struggle to score, let alone win by any big margins.

Manager move

 

[Sherrinator]

It's not that simple. You have to eventually commit to a tackle because our small forwards are very good at kicking goals from anywhere

Maybe the defender could feint a wrapping tackle and say Ginnivan goes the leg drop uppercut - could he realistically kick one then? Must be a tactic that could be employed since the umps are useless.

Issue is he only does that move after the tacklers made contact

 

[Xtreme]

Do you really believe ur a chance for the flag this year?

If Carlton don't win the premiership this season it'll be the biggest choke since Port Adelaide in the 2014 prelim!!!!

 

[scrim reaper]

If Carlton don't beat Hawthorn it'll be the biggest choke since Carlton last week

 

[theiaofseed]

Are you?

Certainly.

If Carlton beat Hawthorn by 10 goals I'll delete my account, if Carlton don't you delete yours?

 

[Delisted]

[Footy_Fan2007]

If Carlton don't beat Hawthorn it'll be the biggest choke since Carlton last week

If Hawthorn go in favourites and lose it will be a massive choke from the Hawks.

 

[LRobbo]

Not happy at all that the brown and yellow are winning games regularly again, hoping the Giants can snuff and nip this little resurgence of theirs in the butt as soon as possible and send them spiralling down towards the bottom where they righfully belong. But not to toot Geelong's own horn or anything they did give them a good old fashion spanking just a few weeks ago. So anybody interested in stopping them should be replaying that recording as much as possible and taking notes furiously about how they can be dismantled.

On a postage stamp ground without Sicily, Dear and Ginnivan.
Spare me

See you in September on a real ground

Plus Curnow needs more than 5 free kicks to get any score against a good team.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

My view on the list would be as such. The bolded are players I believe have the ability to step up into the A tier in time - All Aus, top 10 in their position types.

A - Sicily, Moore

B+ - Meek, Day, Worpel, Newcombe, Impey, Amon

B - Lewis, Scrimshaw, D'Ambrosio, Chol, Macdonald, Nash, Ginnivan, Hardwick, Weddle

C - Dear, Watson, Ward, Frost, Reeves, Jiath, Gunston, Breust, Mackenzie, Maginness*

D - Morrison, Stephens, DGB, Ryan, McCabe, Hustwaite Serong, Butler, Blanck, Phillips, Ramsden, Scaife, Mitchell, Bennetts, B.Macdonald, O'Sullivan, Tucker


Still think they're a few pieces away, need a couple more A grade talents in the side before there would be any chance of a dynasty. Freo and the Swans are better set up for one at this stage imo.

Do you watch footy at all?

So many sad Hawthorn haters come within minutes of game finish; bumhurt for 40 years.
