Game Day Round 11, 2021: Suns v Hawks @ SCG 7:40pm

[hardway]

Hawks improved with Mitchell off the ground.

 

[Hodginator]

Moore was big in the last 10 minutes there.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Anyone complained about channel 7 thinking it was a great idea to play loud music over every after goal replay?

No Channel 7, bad channel 7.

 

[Adebisi]

The standard of umpiring is deplorable. Not for any one side, just overall terrible

 

[MinerBoy]

So as I said 5 minutes in, amazing how we can continually turn up week after week looking surprised we're actually playing a game of football.

Really pleasing to have been able to have steadied the ship but something pre-game needs to change....

 

[Brant]

Gotta get infront Kosi

Exactly. Same most contests, every week.

Fundamental of being a forward, since he was 8.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

5 minutes ago I had just about given up. We played like rabble. Now we seem to be back in it. Go Hawks.

 

[JoeHawk]

Commentator ‘rub of the green going hawthorns way’ hahah

very rare....I'll take it

 

[killerspud]

If jelly could talk it would sound like Richo

 

[Hawker1167]

Gotta get infront Kosi

all the forwards I say it week after week after week

 

[Rioli magic]

Our strategy has become kick it to big boy haha

Not possible , everything is already predetermined by Clarkson.

Yeah this is their job. They need to start when the siren sounds, not after they have their mid quarter coffee and some raisin toast

 

[charliecodpiece]

Great fight back, particularly from Moore and Big Boy.

Even though he’s getting a bit of the ball Shielsy really needs to clean up some of his decision making - really noticed lately that he has started taking possession and running directly into opponents.

 

[Arc1]

Meh. Some people here acting like they haven't seen a Hawks game this year. First quarters like this are par for the course. We'll come back from this.

Give this man some more votes people, he even underestimated the swing timing!

 

[On Topic]

If we have gotten our quarterish lapse out for this game then we should see a fairly competitive game from here on in.

 

[Bardo State]

It is as an awful kick. Kosi should probably have led to make it easier on him though. No space behind to go over the top.

Agreed, poor positioning by Kosi but surely you give the handball to the free man streaming into 50 rather than kicking there at all with third man coming in.

 

[savagelunchbox]

Didn't use the center square once in that quarter... except to make a switch to the opposite boundary. Makes it a lot harder to score when you have only 2/3 of the F50 to kick into.

Not going to win if we're relyin on McEvoy to mark every one of those kicks to the top of the square.

 

[Gaston]

That comeback can be attributed to Morris with his endeavour and intent. Thereafter the rest woke up.
Wingard just lacking pace and strength to break free from centre bounces, reading it well though.

 

[Threadkilla]

Regardless of having the journey or not, should that have been a free kick to us after the siren?

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

we are just awful BUT the fight is back which is pleasing

 

[westhawk]

Big boy looks fresher after not having to ruck all week last week.

Will be so much more dangerous playing 60% forward and 40% ruck.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Every hawthorn supporter tonight ..

 

[Hodginator]

It's this the first time McEvoy hasn't started with his brow bandaged this year? Or for the past 12 months? Almost didn't recognise him.

Noticed last week he ran out without it.

Kosi tends to play behind a lot I've noticed

 

[Brishawk]

Especially if it is shiels. He is the worst kick inside fifty since Brad Sewell.
