Game Day Round 15, 2023 : Gold Coast v Hawthorn, 4.40pm, Heritage Bank Stadium

[Mitchell Madness]

Still 5 to go, but this could've been a lot worse. Other games up there we've gone down by 12+ goals playing like this. Little wins

 

[nelk boys]

Please explain. Surely effort is fundamental. It is fundamental to most other things. I know you hate me saying it, but effort is fundamental. Effort makes it easier to do other things.

And please do not come back saying age is an excuse.

Your blaming effort as the sole reason.

But neglecting ball use, accumulating to conditions, fitness of the majority of our young players and terrible transitions.

It's not as simple as our players not trying at all. That's insulting to the majority who are.

 

[SSSSSS]

We've been chasing tail all game.

Lots of exhausted bodies.

 

[Bugs1977]

Who would've thought that a high handball game plan wouldn't hold up for 4 quarters in humid weather. I know we're a young developing side but Sammy needs to find a balance for this team asap.

 

[Bedi]

lacklustre is one word that comes to mind. Shithouse is another

 

[Max Powers]

Dear me.

 

[hawkman]

Forwards don't help themselves either. Butler had no one leading to him

 

[LunchboxLegend]

Sure, if that’s what you think. In a development year where wins and losses are irrelevant, surely better to play them both then and find out.

One of these things is not like the others

 

[Jethro!]

Flat and uncompetitive

 

[SSSSSS]

Lol Scrimshaw just jogging there...

Went the extra gear when he realised the ball was live.

 

[Max Powers]

Still amazing how much they push and throw our players in their forward half.

 

[thehardway]

Mr Hyde turned up today.

 

[SSSSSS]

Scrimshaw you just sold your mate Mitchell up the creek.

GAGF in the Magoo's.

Wait, is it Darcy Cameron?

 

[Mitchell Madness]

At least they waited until late to start the dodgy rodgering

 

[Liverbird]

27 scoring shots to 9 - this is a thrashing bar scoreboard cause Gold Coast Dust are shite themselves.

A few steps back today.

 

[Baz_hawk]

That's not a free

 

[peetoo]

Another push in the back. No penalty

. You can talk about the heat or the greasy conditions, or the bye until the cows come home.

Our EFFORT/ ATTITUDE tonight has been terrible .

I feel for Sam, trying to sum this rubbish up will be very difficult .

 

[SA HAWK]

This feels like a 15 goal loss and would have been if they kicked straight.

 

[matey]

Push in the back my arse Hawkins does that half a dozen times a game!

DARCY CAMERON

 

[Brishawk]

Indeed. If Impey had just tried harder the laces out kick that slipped through his fingers would have stuck. Lazy.

At half time johnson did some analysis of a gold coast shot on goal in which they kicked long to players and dropped marks twice in the passage of play only to still get it inside fifty and get the shot off (it was touched). Was a goal that game from winning the ball at ground level and players working hard to our number.

 

[Topiary]

Sorry tops but to drill this down to effort is lazy.

No it is not ****ing lazy, it is fundamental. It has nothing to do with being lazy. They have been suffocated. Next week we will be different. I am sure, but this week we have lacked effort.

Yes, one of the names there has played considerably less games than the rest on that list.
