Game Day Round 16 2017: Hawthorn vs GWS Giants 8 July, 1:45pm @UTAS

[Hawker1167]

Young backine holding up well at the moment but not sure how much longer for - our forwards showing no pressure when they are coming out of their backline

 

[Cleavy]

That first quarter goal we gave up in the last minute, and that Langford miss could come back to bite us.

 

[HawkMongrel]

Kids are doing well.

Burgoyne having a poor one so far. Hartung is killing me. So is Shiels.

 

[flinchfree]

Stewart Needs to go back to box hill and stay there. Again can't get anywhere near the ball and when he goes gets caught or is pressured too easily. We are one man short each time he plays at senior level

Wow.
Line the kid up, but miss all the senior blokes also missing in action much?

 

[MinerBoy]

Could be a little closer if langers kicks that but all in all probably lucky we are as close as we are. Backline enormous.

Langford .....learn to kick FFS!!!!!!

given season is on the line it's totally unacceptable

 

[Gralin]

Finished off the quarter well after looking like we might be run over
Missed some shots which will probably come back to bite us in the second half but they are trying which is good to see

My 6 year old son just threw a shoe at the screen when Langford missed from 12 metres out.

My nephew plays under 10's and most of his side would kick that 10/10 times.

 

[Flamin Joe]

Next time Langer, just run towards the boundary line and dribble it through.

 

[Mr Mister]

Langford's conversion is beyond a joke now. My wife laughed at me when I predicted he would miss the shot, she then laughed even harder when he proved me right.

 

[Noneedforaname]

Me too, enough with the gimmicky jumpers (yes I know it's a good cause, no need for a non-Hawthorn jumper though).

Its more Hawthorn than any white, or power rangers shit.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Seriously Langford. Just kick through the ball. He's completely psyched himself out now. More than he ever had.

To smart for his own good...don't think Langers...DO!!!!

 

[Pessimistic]

Burgoyne having a poor one so far. Hartung is killing me. So is Shiels.

Hartung nice kick to the other whopping boy

 

[Bedi]

Langers can get f'd he should be no where near the goddam fwd line

he's great with the sneaky rushed kick goals so still reckon forward pocket is his position

 

[lickmerocks]

We are getting enough chances just need to do more with them.

Doc, Butcher Shiels, and Langers have all missed soda pops and add the brain fade from Isaac and Kade to give 2 goals away and that's a 5 goal turnaround right there.

Very frustrating to watch.

 

[threesixpio]

Ha! I've had one also

If we all have one Heatherly will be BOG

 

[Hawk_francais]

Loving the work in the back line. If we can get a big second half out of Breust and O'Brien, and put Heath Shaw under pressure (so far Kade Stewart not troubling him), then we can win.

 

[badgrill]

If we all have one Heatherly will be BOG

If we all have 2, he'll win the Brownlow!

jeezus langers

Spud Langford missing sitters he is useless

Really good half of footy. Much like the Adelaide game - we are playing a better side but Clarko is coaching well and our young blokes are doing a great job.

Defensive structures have been terrific against an amazing midfield and a very dangerous forward line. Brand, Burton, Sicily and Gunston have been great down back against their opponents. Can't fault the young backline at all. Gunston is doing well in that role today.

Mitchell is dominating the game. He gets better ever week. Burgoyne giving him a bit of help and Hartung and Henderson providing some run. Desperately need Smith and Shiels to contribute. Their disappointing seasons continue.

Up forward, Doc and Langford are giving the grunt (albeit without the polish) we have come to expect from Rioli and Puopolo. Langford letting himself down with his finishing though. Schoenmakers and O'Brien presenting well and giving a real contest. No faulting those blokes today. But Breust...seriously!

Ultimately a lack of contribution from some leaders and some wasted opportunities the only reason we are behind. Clarko comprehensively out coaching Cameron. We're in this if we keep up that effort.

 

[Birdofprey]

Some frustrating moments. But I am pleased with them. Loved Brand settling things down during last 60 seconds!! Settle down boys!! Ha Ha!!

Each week a different young player comes out of his shell - is this Heatherley's week? I hope so, I have time for him.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

If we can slow these pricks down with their ball movement were in with a massive chance here. Matching them inside atm but they are cutting us up a bit too regularly when they get it free from the congestion. Stewart has been poor, really miss poppy today he would be vital to putting the heat on them coming out the backline. Fairly sure he is on shaw who is killing us. Dont care if he does nothing the rest of the game just take shaw's influence right away.

 

[Bardo State]

I think Sicily has his new home by the way. Looking extremely comfortable behind the ball. Don't see any need to shift him even when other defenders return.
