Game Day Round 14, 2021: Hawthorn v Essendon @ UTAS, Sun 3:20PM

[Blackhawk42]

Anyone remember when Scarlett had enough of Ballantyne one day and decided to bop him one....

I would find it hard playing against Dev Smith to not do the same. Front running whinging sook.

I personally don't see him as part of Essendons rebuild. Reckon he'll be shopped around or delisted within 2 years.

 

[NicW]

He has been brought up from the day he was born to believe he is God's gift, never once been told to pull his head in.
Fact.

Shit bloke too.

 

[Pessimistic]

We just can’t lose this

1. It’s *
2. Weacant let them have a 100% at this ground they won’t be coming back

 

[Baz_hawk]

It's weird to say but despite controlling the second quarter, it felt like we were underwhelming. A lot of our play is being made off the rebounding defenders and very little from the mids. Shiels and Newcombe both had very little of the ball whilst playing in the middle. If they can get more of it it'll mean we are winning more of the ball from the stoppages and we can hurt them without them getting their spare back. Currently 13-22 in clearances with Mitchell having 5 of those and none to Cousins, Shiels or Newcombe.

Happy with where we are but we are working so much harder to score by constantly chasing the ball out from the contest and it hurts more when we concede such an easy goal in the last 20 seconds to the grub that is stringer

 

[TylerDurden]

Stringer the difference.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Has been the difference so far.

Still trash. Shit bloke and a downhill specialist.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Much better effort that quarter and we’re making it hard for them to play against us, but ultimately wasting the ball inside 50 will cost you.

I just want to see more building of the connection between Bramble, Day, Impey, Scrim and CJ now. They’re our play makers from the back half and they will have a big say on what we do as a side going forward.

‘right when Scarlett was in that media campaign against king hits? Awkward

Got a link for that stat?
Expected accuracy means nothing: I expect to see high quality comment when I have a look at this forum and am constantly let down.
I don't need a toothpick though, thanks.

Expected accuracy is based on the overall accuracy from that spot compared to the players accuracy. In other words not just kicking behinds but kicking behinds from the goal square is worse than fro the boundary. Much better than just accuracy and the boy is an embarrasment at the moment. Love him, but needs to fix his kicking.

He is trash.

He is a big worry for us, really is bullying his way through and could easily kick 4-5 if we arent careful

He’s still trash

Been trying to do it all himself and been caught a couple of times, hope it stays that way.

 

[Buttonsticher]

Play on play on play on. When not playing on look for the tallest Dons player on the ground, then kick it somewhere else. We got this if we want it. Cegs might be getting outdone but its his 2nd and sometimes 3rd efforts I like

Interesting!
From a quick read over it I think this stat makes a lot of sense to care about, but is probably better to view how a player tracks through it from year to year.
I'm not sure but I feel like this stat can be adjusted very heavily between games- especially for players playing in sides that have ball movement issues; as an example a shot might have a quality rating of 60%, but when you take into account all the other factors in the game that % could increase or decrease drastically.

It's been our biggest problem for mine in the post sam mitchell era.
No question NUMERO UNO for Clarko is for our mids to try and get a good defensive position BEFORE thinking about roving the ball. No one gets let off the leash until we're behind to just go hunt first and worry about the man second.

I know a few on here like that methodology.
Me no likely. I want one onballer EVERY bounce/throw in to have license to just barrell balls to the wall and try and anticipate the drop and win first use.

 

[MinerBoy]

Cegs getting his arse kicked so far.

 

[Flamin Joe]

Stop kicking to the bogan.

 

[RoughysMullet]

Being smashed in the air

 

[kenneje]

I have to say, I'm well over opposition ruckman dominating us.

The great thing is he is getting great quality shots, so he is winning the ball in very good spots. Just can't kick.

 

[Beandip]

I understand teams position to force you to kick long and cajole where that kick is likely to be... but how do we constantly kick to opposing ruckmen, I mean.... pick ANY OTHER option.

 

[Flamin Joe]

He’s still trash

He's still killing us.

 

[robiecampbellbrown]

Why do we keep kicking it to that mullet

 

[VandoHawk]

Stringer & Draper are tearing us a new one

 

[RoughysMullet]

Reeves back for Cegs next week please
