Autopsy Rd 10 Blues rally late to hold out the Hawks

[found object]

Williams had a great second half today

 

[Arr0w]

Mate the overall standard of footy today from both teams was deplorable. A win is a win is a win, but we don’t pass the eye test.

Lots to work on, but the fight was great

At least we showed we wanted to control the ball more, but still inconsistent

fu** I love this club

I do too but I don’t like what they’ve done to my blood pressure over the last 20 years

Stocker must stay in the team for the rest of the year. This kid has mongrel and love the way he goes about it.

Love the Stock !! I like how he actually seeks out a bit of physically confrontation and is as gutsy as hell.

He’s a keeper.

Besides that howler in the 1st, I thought he was reasonably good, especially his kicking which is great over distance.

Swapping he and Doc was the right choice.

Totally agreed, he looks a lot more comfortable kicking out of defence than trying to be a midfielder!

Those going early on Teague, players and team

Serious? That should of been a minimum 6-8 goal win, where each team should be. Whole coaching group and players still on notice for a long while yet. We won on the end that Hawks kids aren’t as polished as their predecessors yet. We won off the back of a bit of vintage Eddie, 1 vintage Murphy quarter and Doc and Williams finding some form.

When Silvangi has the ball in hand, especially forward of centre - you just know he is going to put the opposition to the sword. Its marvellous.

 

[Koutamightafides]

Today showed that we are a bit better than the worst teams in the league.

And we did play like shit really . They dragged us down to their level .

 

[Accidental genius]

You know whats a bit ridiculous.... Zach Williams. This guy is unfit and carrying too much weight, carries a bung knee and is still one of the best on gronud by the end of the game.

Get him fit he must have some ******* serious talent to play at that standard in thephysical condition he's in.

absolutely...he played his guts out.

 

[Stickitupthem]

Happy with the win against a vfl side

 

[jj1978]

Was invisible in the first half but made up for it in that 3rd qtr.

Then disappeared in the 4th... Clark Kent?

 

[NavySteel]

Cripps 10 tackles.

Welcome back, Skip!

 

[JoeyPBLUES]

Big game from Stocker today starting to find his feet at this level and just kept bobbing up and working hard and using it well. I like the kid.

 

[Red_man2008]

Not a bad top 4.

Guts..I see what you did there.

 

[Accidental genius]

Shame about Eddie’s age. Him and Owies are a very good combination up forward.

im now wondering if eddie will go around again. has found form again

BTW, did I hear correctly in the Walsh interview that last time we beat Dawks at the G was the day Walsh was born?

We were playing against Free Kick Hawthorn remember!

 

[La Dispute]

Keep Williams on the HB
He's not a midfielder
We will just have to accept we're paying stupid money for two HBFs

I do like that it frees up Doc to the wing. Think that's a really natural position for him.

Scrappy win, but it's 4 points. Onto next week.

Swings and roundabouts with the contracts.

We are paying Weitering, McKay and Walsh just over a million per year combined currently.

As long as Williams and Saad are playing good footy there’s not much else we can ask for. Their deals are front loaded and taper off too.

 

[AceAndy]

A real team effort today and hopefully a little confidence for next week.

yeap

Walsh is so vanilla

We have plenty to work on, but in years gone by, being headed we would of folded.

Start adding some balance rather than just criticizing the WIP

Yep, July 2nd 2000

I think the whole club felt the pressure. That was a tough game, mentally and physically. Very proud.
It’s going to click and once we get the composure it will flow.
Best games from Williams, Saad and Cripps this year. Stocker is coming.
Having said that, we need to setup better all over the ground and stop flying and fighting for the same ball.
Some of our players need to know their limitations and play within them.
