Game Day Round 16, 2024: West Coast v Hawthorn, 4:40pm @ Optus Stadium

[cryptor]

Should be 7 goals up. All our own fault.

Thankfully we’re in complete control and so far Eagles don’t look like challenging.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Need to be much better kicking inside 50. Mackenzie the biggest offender.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Reckon that was a pretty bad quarter with the amount of wasted opportunities. Sam will give them a bake and I reckon they'll respond.

 

[Max Powers]

Hoping that was a blow the cobwebs out quarter.

 

[BlueWaterHawk]

Sheesh, left a bit of score on the table there. Getting plenty of room in the forward line, so as long as the opportunities keep coming, we'll be right.

 

[LunchboxLegend]

The weirdest of quarters.
Dominated everywhere, scoreboard is meh.

The footy needs a few more PSI - kicking is woeful.

 

[HedgeFund]

Kept them goalless

Kicked too often to McGovern & Barrass’ advantage

Fix this up and we will hammer them.

 

[Bedi]

Connor Nash was everywhere that quarter. Really good start also to Jai, Ginnivan, CJ and Day too.

 

[Franko Armani]

Hard to cop not being up by 8 goals after that donination

 

[madhawksfan]

Great pressure and ball movement but got to take our chances. Poor efforts from Chol, Watson and Gunston on the set shots. Hopefully we’ll start converting because we’re doing everything else well.

Day, Newk, Moore, CJ, Worps and Nash have led the way.

 

[TylerDurden]

We're shanking everything. So rusty.

Dear is getting pole axed by McGovern. May have to sub him early.

 

[Kuuz]

OOF Expected goals say we should be DOUBLE our current tally.

Hope we don't regret squandering a good run.

 

[Bugs1977]

Should really be around about 4 more goals up but everything else so far is good. Just have to keep up the tackle pressure and hopefully start taking our opportunities. Would love to see the Wiz get a couple of in close crumbing goals to prop up his confidence.

 

[Bardo State]

Dear stays in front and leads at the kicker but blokes are putting it high in behind vs McGovern. Dear could have a lot of play if kickers keep it low and in front.

 

[eldorado]

Don't know if I've ever been so pissed off with a quarter when we're three goals up

 

[Flamin Joe]

Never mind conversion, how about we just make the distance and go from there?

 

[CHUBBSS]

How much money does David rath need to come back?

 

[Baz_hawk]

Been dominant around the ground but going forward has been really poor and we've given our forwards a tough time with some poorly executed entries. These games always make me nervous as for all our dominance we have very little to show for it.

Loving Chol's efforts going forward, has done a lot of nice things. CJ getting reward for his run also nice to see. Day l, Newk and Worps all involved, Nash doing his role well.

 

[hardway]

Hopefully we have blown the bye cobwebs out and clean it up with our finishing. Game should be blown apart.

 

[Bedi]

We're shanking everything. So rusty.

Dear is getting pole axed by McGovern. May have to sub him early.

still doing some nice things and played a part in keeping the ball alive for Gunston to set up Ginnivan

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Only concern is Dear on McGovern, needs to be Chol/Gunston on McGovern/Barrass. Have the experience make them accountable, although ball use to Dear in particular has been poor.

Newcombe, Day and Moore dominating

The team needs to deliver it better.
They are bombing it long to the advantage of the westcoast defenders, rather than keeping it low and hitting a lead

 

[cryptor]

Day keeping Reid out of it in the stoppages and killing him when the ball is on the outside.

 

[kirbatron]

we'll need to kick straight to be in this imo

 

[HairyO]

Why are we lobbing it to McGovern and Barrass ?

Connor Nash was everywhere that quarter. Really good start also to Jai, Ginnivan, CJ and Day too.

CJ best. Was making the right choices.

We need to keep the ball low going inside 50m and be in front.

 

[Sixpence]

We're shanking everything. So rusty.

Dear is getting pole axed by McGovern. May have to sub him early.

Dear is overrunning it, not really Gov's influence.
