NAB 4 Vs Kangaroos @ Craigieburn

[Hard_to_Beat]

Just the tune up we needed before the Cats. No need to get carried away though. Even if North played a full team we are still a 6-7 goal better side so this result is almost on par given the personnel available.

No Cyril, Hodge, Lake, Suckling and Whitecross means we have scope for improvement come Rd 1. All looks on schedule.

Agree.

You guys should be the premiers, and we aren't at that level yet.

Grimley with yet another. (2nd for the quarter)

Thankfully that nonsense stops once you're out of the Nab cup.

Agreed 100%.

And another! ...after a "soft" free kick according to North's chat

 

[spudmaster]

We're just 11 points away from the mercy rule being enforced

 

[Flukey!]

I know North a missing a few (a lot?) but today shows when the boys are ready to get serious, they can do the job.

Agreed mate. At least our kids put up a fight when the seniors were missing.

They will be ready come the Cats. Their conditioning is still 2-3 weeks behind most other teams based on training blocks and game time. Next weeks intraclub will be our last hitout before Rd 1.

Great teamwork as Anderson kicks long, a pack forms and @StonesGrimley soccers his second off the ground! Hawks 115 Roos 33

Love your pic has helped me keep abreast of the game.

Swallow, Wells, Ziebell, Gibson, Thompson, Thomas, Firrito, Atley and McMahon missing from North's side according to their live chat.

They got a goal

Whitecross won't play round 1.
Hodge won't play round 1.. and i'm pretty sure Suckling won't either

Only possible inclusions would be Cyril and Lake and both will be lacking match fitness.

Exactly right. Our youth coming through is actually very encouraging.

If Lowden had Grimleys desire he'd be a star.

 

[IBleedBrownNGold]

Game over.

Hawks 19.8.122
Kangas: 5.11.41

game called off, coaches say its too wet.

81 point win.

 

[Steven Tyler]

Good to see a strong performance today
Much stronger squad and see the difference, even in terrible conditions, and can only get stronger with Hodge, Rioli, Lake and later WhiteX ! ( yes Kangas were below strength)
Cats were VERY impressive V Pies yesterday, so important to get gameplan, structures etc right

 

[Bardo State]

Swallow, Wells, Ziebell, Gibson, Thompson, Thomas, Firrito, Atley and McMahon missing from North's side according to their live chat.

That's pretty significant

Hawks missing Rioli, Lake, Hodge, Suckling, Whitey as well as Gibbo, Rough and X rested in the second

 

[illnino]

Game called off early by the coachs due to the very heavy rain (and likely the scoreboard also) 13 minutes into the last quarter. Franklin to Lewis inside 50, not sure if he kicks it but the game is over. Hawks by 81 points.

 

[Phil McCreviss]

Swallow, Wells, Ziebell, Gibson, Thompson, Thomas, Firrito, Atley and McMahon missing from North's side according to their live chat.

Ok I'll give you Swallow, Ziebell and Wells. Lesser extent Atley. The rest are genuinely average plodders. I reckon I could kick a few on Firrito. And don't get me started on Lynda Thomas

Good call, Spud.

Good old pea heart North.

 

[HawksILove]

Cunnington has been left to do it on his own.

You's got players out, but we have also as Whitecross, Suckling, Lake, Hodge, woodward, Rioli etc.

Here to help

Qualifying starts in 38minutes so flick onto OneHD and get behind Webber and Ricciardo - carn the Aussies!

It would have been 25 goals if "woodward" played.
