Game Day NAB challenge: Hawthorn v Richmond, Beaconsfield

[dp_ramas]

Schoey has be ok, his aggression toward the ball has been good. He hasn't had much of it but I've been happy with him crashing pack.

He just is not suited to play as the main forward target. We will get the best of Schoey when he plays a similar role like in the GF as a high half forward.

Who do you guys think is best placed to fill in for Roughy so far? Huge boots to fill

 

[dp_ramas]

God O'Rourke is underwhelming - show us something.

JOR didn't play much in the 2nd qtr, he had a few nice touches early in the game but unfortunately hasn't done much since.

I still think he will make it and play plenty of senior footy this year.

Very huge boots.

The thing with Roughie is the work he does when he gets thrown into the middle because he is like a huge ruck rover, very very good clearence player.

Not to mention 50 to 70 goal a year foward.

At this stage I am ****ed if I know.

Few notes from the fringe:

Litherland - Nope, not up to it at the moment. Missing tackles, losing his feet a lot, disposal has been poor.
O'Rourke - Fumbling a fair bit, just needs to find some composure and his confidence will be boosted. Often getting into the right spot but not committing. Hasn't played a huge amount of game time though
Howe - As above, disposal letting him down, can find the ball though and will only get better with more experience and game time at this intensity
Hardwick - Hasn't had a great deal but looks promising
Hartung - Another who has let himself down with disposal, also seems to run himself into a corner
Sicily & O'Brien - Both relatively quiet, Sicily with an impressive goal late in the second term.

Bring on Lovell and Pittonet!

A lot of hospital handballs and the ones that are lower are ending up at players feet which then causes them to have to rush the next disposal with one of the above until there is a turn over. Clean that first one up and we'll look a lot better.

Hard to tell at the moment, the audition is in progress and nobody taking it by the scruff of the neck so far.

Sicily most talented

Shoey most experienced

Fitzpatrick the big body

O'Brien the most like-for-like if he can play near potential.

Can we borrow Reiwoldt for half the year??

 

[Roughies Boys]

LOVELL!!!

GOT EM!

 

[LuvMyHawks]

15 frees Tigers, 10 Hawks..Doesn't surprise me

 

[Max Powers]

Rubbish free against Birch

 

[OzJohnnie]

It's a shame Sicily pulled out of that contest with Rance.

Cyril done and dusted...... **** I hope it's not anything to worry about because with Roughie down and Gunston fighting an injury we can't afford Cyril to have done anything remotely serious.

 

[LuvMyHawks]

Another miss..

 

[Bedi]

Sicily had to go harder there.

 

[ScottMaginness]

nice work first up from Lovell.

Tackling has been poor with Richmond players slipping through tackles or getting their arms free to get handballs away.

 

[Max Powers]

Damn very close there Lovell

 

[Lethality]

Lovell is dominating.

What happened to the guy that tied with McBean in the VFL goal kicking last year?

The commentators said Cyril had a knock on the calf, it looked like a thigh to me, but how would I know

 

[Baz_hawk]

Liking Lovell thus far

 

[LuvMyHawks]

Oh boy, the Tigers are tackling hard..sheesh, another goal for them

 

[DrMike]

Oh boy, the Tigers are tackling hard..sheesh

That's Townsend mostly, he's playing for a spot in our 22 and doing a pretty decent job of it so far

 

[Samthegun]

This is a terrible game...LOL

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Grimley. De-listed and now playing for Essendon as one of their top up players.

 

[LuvMyHawks]

Cyril is definitely injured, limping, out for the day now
