Just got home from the game......it was pretty apparent at half time we were in strife, you could see we were teetering....some really poor games from some of our experienced guys...Jarred McVeigh I'm looking at you..! However Hawthorn just seemed to decide to win the game and go to an extra gear. How many uncontested marks in Hawks forward 50...Grundy was very poor, Mal not much better. Rampe struggled and Mitchell missed a couple of opportunities in the second qtr that could've hurt the Hawks. Injuries have dealt us a really poor blow. I think we can really look to a few younger ones next week to gain something from the year. We have done really well all things considered, just the performance tonight was embarrassing.
Leave Tippett out for next week, not his fault, but we cannot resist bombing it to him, it reminds me of the Barry Hall days. We actually looked at a few different options early and I thought, great not bombing it long...but then...
Oh well, lets at least hope for some fight next week....
Stop the Grundy bashing. He saved us many times tonight. Don't blame defenders tonight.
Blame the midfield out put, due to injury .
Many sore boys out ther tonight..
