Game Day Round 15, 2020: Hawthorn v Adelaide Crows, 5.40pm AEST

[RoughysMullet]

Man that picture of the players in the rooms is horrible - they just look dejected. This is a broken side ladies & gents

 

[Iceman!]

Why are you all listening to a Geelong nerd and an Essendon drunk right now? Mute it and do literally anything else right now

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

definitely more interested in watching essendon lose than the second half of this one

 

[Aramis]

Absolutely zero on-field leadership. Fingers crossed Stratton retires end of the year.

Absolutely why do it !

They looked absolutely cooked

Big Boy is dominating the ruck.... half a sec.

He's our best ruck yet it seems the order Clarkson has is ceglar, Obrien, Lewis for ruck contests.

Fine, you aren't going to pick young players for the sake of it or for their development. At least pick our best available side. We haven't done that all year.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Hitting a new low this evening. Can it get any worse than this?

 

[westhawk]

CJ on his own planet out there today.

Has been terrible every time I have seen him play. Even at Box Hill he never impressed me. People get too impressed with his athleticism, but the fact is he runs around clueless and has terrible skills.

 

[kazzooka]

Really not sure if there's any positives to come from the first half. We're lucky to be as close as we are, I'd LOVE for us to come out and be more competitive in the second half but I'm not sure where it comes from. Seriously lost on Ceglar, I thought he may have at least been a downhill skiier but I'm not even sure if that's within him.

You cannot be a downhill skier as a ruck. You are the Hill. You either give your mids a slope or a climb.

 

[Baz_hawk]

We play one less around the stoppages and we get beaten in the stoppages constantly. Hopefully the coaching staff can connect the dots on this one.

And yet we concede marks to long inside 50's... Staggering

 

[Maybloomer]

Why do the Hawks insist on sending 5 players to get one ball against the worst contested ball side in the competition and naturally have nobody to kick to or receive? The majority of this team will be running around in 2021 doing the same thing and getting the same result.

 

[Bugs1977]

Are we tanking?

 

[Mercy Seat]

They looked absolutely cooked

They look like a side who don’t really get along with each other coming off a 5 day break.

 

[hamohawk1]

He has a very low footy IQ, with low skills. It is hard to make it without both of those.

Look i think he can be a player for us in the future but the hype he has from some on this board was crazy. He has huge holes in his game that he still needs to work on.

The type of player who needs 5+ years at VFL level, which we probably can't offer at the moment.

 

[Hawker1167]

I am actually not surprised about this - I was talking to mates also hawthorn supporters today and we all actually said the same thing - really is sad to see us as an absolute rabble - not as bad as North but not behind - but a few careers will be judged by tonights efforts and lack of effort.

 

[pipcoo]

A lot of people just don’t get it We are playing for pick 3 it’s as simple as that !

 

[kazzooka]

Absolutely why do it !

He should do it now. He isn't even the leader in the back line. Just stands around pregame while McEvoy who has about 12 games in defence under his belt gives out the instructions to the other backs.

Two less if you count Ceglar

 

[happy_hawks]

We seriously lack any physical presence. The crows midfield are under no pressure and our tackling is woeful. I'd like to see Hardwick, Worpel and Impey start in the middle and told to hunt the ball and failing that at least make a few crows feel some physical pressure.

 

[Glacier]

Hitting a new low this evening. Can it get any worse than this?

Stay tuned

 

[HAWKSBESTEVA]

Better lose this by 30+ so we can drop below the swans into 3rd place. I’ll be fuming if we lose by a goal or 2 and stay in the same position. Either win this or lose by 30+

 

[The German Hunter]

Midfield is so bad. Can’t win the ball, can’t defend, can’t spread.
Embarrassing

 

[PT Bar None]

I was thinking that during the 2nd...

Althoough, given how often our lads seem to run into each other or fall over...
