CJ can take a mark but his disposal is ordinary

Frost was good tonight and once he gets the fumbles out of his system will be great get.

Great showing from Patton, looking forward to seeing him improve week by week.

Chad looks hungry and ready to go this year.

CJ keeps improving and look forward to watching him over his journey.

Great to see Tommy back, looks in good nick and just needs to shake off the rust.

 

[Hawkie_McHawkHawk]

Also, JOM been unsighted since half time. Not good enough.

I respect your opinion, but get a little bit perspective; it’s the first practice match of the year.. Young and new players will look to impress to gain a spot but the rest are doing just what they personally need to do..

if you play well, who cares, it’s a practice game. If you play badly, who cares, it’s a practice game.

I remember us losing most of our pre season games the years we’ve won flags recently.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Decent hit out. Great to see the boys running around again

 

[eldorado]

Patton gets a big tick tonight!

 

[Milkshaker]

Umpires giving too many soft frees..

Agree. If ever there was a time to let the game flow its pre - season surely? Put the whistle away and do your homework post game. No-one watches AFL to hear whistle after whistle. Anyone would think the players got a bonus for giving frees away given the amount of kicks that are awarded.

 

[Hodginator]

The definition of blowing out the cobwebs. Pretty low intensity and we hardly seemed to ever get out of first gear. Not such a bad result considering the saints seemed to have the majority of the play.

Great to watch Patton in the brown and gold and for Mitchell to get through without any issues.

 

[phlogiston]

2 12 24 also works.

threesixpio sorry misread your post (plane just landed). 7 7 49 the only realistic square I believe.

 

[Iceman!]

Patton and Mitchell were really really promising and that is the main thing i needed to see tonight.

Sign Minch for the year because we are going to need competition for spots in the small forward role.

Cj has a bright future and could add a dynamic to our back line this season that we are lacking with Impey out.

Liked Cegs as the number 1 ruck as well

 

[Ram-Man]

Liked Frost’s game tonight. I think the umps thought he was Sicily ... was on the end of some ordinary decisions ... good signs from Greaves, CJ and Morrison.

Mitchell, Patton, Chad all got through so that’s the main thing could not give a stuff about the result. Hopefully Big Boy just has a corky and will be right in two weeks time for another hit out.

Go Hawks!

Good to see we didn't get blown away in the last quarter when we had basically 3 of our best mids off for most of it.

Good hitout. Lots to work on but some good signs.

Unfortunately, we need an LTI for that...he's still a Cat B rookie

Wow, what a shocker.

Thought Minch tried really hard at a few contests. Just needs to string a few together! Fingers crossed.

 

[Bumps"N"Grins]

Forward entry leaves a lot to be desired. No point having good targets to kick to if we are just going the bomb from the center. Need to gain better control of the center square in order to link from defence and hit up forwards from the edge of fifty.

Going to do my head in with constant entries while under maximum pressure.

 

[local hack]

Not a bad first up game, but wouldn’t read too much into it. Reckon they slipped a heap of our tackles that you’d expect to stick in the season proper.
Patton showed great signs, could be the year of Timmy and was awesome to see Mitch back. Looked rusty as expected but still a magnet. Predict frost will give us plenty of nervous moments.
**** me, quick scan of the thread and don’t we love an umpire whinge.
I miss b hill.

So we got smacked in contested footy, beaten in the clearances and ball use was poor but for a first hit out I’m not displeased.

Patton was great, CJ is every bit a senior footballer and Titch was solid in his first outing. Frost is exactly what we thought, pretty good 1v1 but has some perplexing moments. I hope we bin the Big boy experiment as a CHB, I can’t see Cegs being adequate all year as the number 1 ruck, he gets man handled in the centre.

Overall it was a hard watch but let’s just say a good blow out.

Well unless we get some clear air out of the centre with crisp clearances then strap yourself in... Frustrating year coming up old son

Let’s not concede off the bounce here please

Which pretty much starts my rant... kidding.

The once known McEvoy experiment down back was only to cover up the real experiment Ceglar in the Ruck one-off... Cegs is tall, dark, handsome and nice. No ruckman in the league has ever succeeded with those qualities which is why I call it an experiment. It was terrible. The one thing I'll concede, is if we continue this experiment we will use all midfielders as lockdown on the opposition so they don't get 8-10 free goals a game because we know we've already lost the clearance. Don't doubt Ben has issues but he's willingly to nullify... hell he's willing to contest.

A few other issues but we'll head to the good it's pre-season.

CJ very happy. Was the standout of our youth though we didn't play many.

Frost showed nothing in the first half came as advertised in the second half... except he also hit targets by foot. So that was good.
Greeves ok overall. Michington good in second half. Harry was good early.

TBH we didn't play too many youngsters... very unlike Clarko. Much like Clarko though he packed up shop in the second half and didn't care.

So I saw one big issue, one possible future star and 2 kids an a injured journeymen stake there claim possibly.

As to the forwardline bigs, happy with Timmy early and the shortass got given the ruck chopout, happy with Patton, thought Lewis was non-competitive and I'm a big Lewis fan so I'll wear it for a game.

Overall not a bad night. Would have been happier to see a few more kids and lost by more but happy enough anyway.

 

[Argy]

Overall it was a hard watch

Yes

Regarding B Hill...We don’t need him and he isn’t worth what they paid.

 

[Pessimistic]

One final sign off. Ratten can coach

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Missed the game after quarter time, hopefully everyone got through unscathed and that BB's injury isn't too serious.

 

[aposullivan]

We played in a way to not give away too much and Saints playing for their new coach who knows Hawks inside and out.
I don’t read much into the result other than a good practice match.
