Review R22: The Good, Bad and Ugly vs. Footscray

[AFC979810]

Not all of them

Eventually they do. Richardson/Dew/Nicks have managed to eek out an extra 3 years of getting paid.

 

[Mutineer]

The Hawks are older and more experienced older than ppl think

Top site hey...everything for the AFL students at their fingertips.

If Laird and Murphy didnt play next week would anyone even notice?

I'm sure it would be totally unremarked upon by Bigfooty

I only found it this year and it's great. So much easier to use than the AFL site and more info. If only they (Champion data) would release all their stats

 

[Bazz_27]

Worth mentioning (I'm not a massive fan btw) ROB got 20 HTA vs English who is no slouch, only two short of his career best. Can't find the stat but feel like it would be pretty high up their for the year for the comp?

Also seemed handy at marking yesterday, this year when he has had 4 marks + we are 4-1 , probably one of his biggest criticisms on here so no shock

Yet the First-Crack denizens think we need to remove Laird from the midfield! This shows how much they're actually watching.

 

[Vader]

Our depth is clearly good enough to enable us to beat teams like Western Bulldogs at home.

We've played guys like Bond, Nankervis, Taylor, Dowling and Curtin recently who were "depth" at various points of the year when we had more injuries

That was arguably the strongest team we've fielded all season.

And super easy to manipulate.

Thats from the last 5 games. Look at the total of the 21 games.

If you look over the full season Hawthorn have an average of 88.2 games experience and an average age of 24.9

Freo for the season 87.5 games average an average age of 25.1

We have an average of 80 games of experience and an average age of 24.8...

As much as the Nicks Sycophants dont want to compare us to Hawthorn/Fremantle - those are the two clubs closest to us in the rebuilding stage. Admittedly we should also compare ourselves to North, but saying you are better than North is the equivalent to saying you have a higher IQ than Grotto, Trigger13 and the newly reborn Alex - it means absolutely nothing.

The lad himself has said it took quite a while to get his head around what was required from a professional AFL player both preparation and mentally wise but of course we know more than the coaches and the fitness staff that work with the player for a large part of most days.

Have a personal connection and can vouch he wasn’t happy

There's that mouse again.

Drove him to drink

Mitchell has also made and admitted to mistakes and then adjusted for it.
Compare that to our player blaming coach.

I've heard a couple of people mention this - what were the mistakes that Mitchell took responsibility for?

Getting run down by Port, for one.

 

[Jirkago75]

Cant wait for Rowie and other sycophants to claim Nicks got it right with Curtin.

Nick is very frustrating, he definitely got it write today though.
Problem is, he gets it right or completely wrong. We have to back him because we stupidly signed him for 2 more years

Going defensive vs port was definitely 1

I used the last five games because Hawks have been on a tear lately

 

[WetCrow1991]

Has ANY club played like this all season?

How was Hawthorn's start to the year? Was that their coach's fault?

How about Carlton or Sydney now? Sack their coaches?

We started off the pace, with essential players not at 100%. Today's win shows there's some real promise there.

Christ you are pathetic.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Be amazing if we could get these kinds of wins when we are in contention.

Great coaches fail to make the finals in 5 seasons, only the best fail to make finals in 7 seasons.

I think it is more a case of Nicks getting lucky and less of him getting it right and getting it wrong.

It's only through injury that he looks to get it right

Yes, because a number in the media plus those on social media (the clubs own page) have been calling for it. You live in Melbourne and would have nfi.

Nicks is a reactive coach.

You think he should take credit for the youngsters coming into the side? Other than Curtin in the Showdown none of those other youngsters got a game until our season was literally shot to pieces after the first Hawks loss and when then we lost to Richmond well thats why we are here now. He was still going with the likes of McHenry, Smith and Schoenberg.

 

[kirky]

Move on ....it's boring

You better get use to it over the next 6 months then coz at the end of the day we are finishing 14th or 15th and Nicks can only redeem himself with a run of wins from Round 1 next year.

Two week ban for name dropping.

Seven years on the trot out of contention is also very boring

Yeah but nicks is only responsible for 5 of them
