Game Day Round 17, 2024 : Geelong v Hawthorn, 4:35pm GMHBA stadium

[Mitchell Madness]

My goodness. What did I say? Run the bloody ball! Oh look, he did and see that? The cats parted like the red sea for an easy goal

 

[MistyAvalon]

thanks Worp

 

[Flukey!]

We need to regroup at the break.
We haven’t been touched up like this for a while.

 

[mknaven]

We're not playing very smart or clean.. we'll get better

 

[Max Powers]

Woooooorps

 

[Hawker1167]

Just a reality check and unfortunately didn’t expect any different

We play exactly the same when we play this mob -

just looking forward to one day learning from these mistakes again

 

[Flamin Joe]

Home town umps.

 

[rdhopkins2]

G 4.5 29
H 1.1 7

9 shots to 2 says it all.
Hawks can’t take a trick.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Show some mongrel Hawthorn. Lucky the game isn’t over.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Saved by the siren

 

[RoughysMullet]

Wanna wake up pretty quick that was abysmal - need to slow them down somehow- they are seemingly moving it with ease

 

[Franko Armani]

One of these teams did some homework during week.

 

[VandoHawk]

Day and Meek the only two that were good that quarter. Mass OK. They were all over us, and the lack of pressure completely exposed our defence.

The good news is that there are 20 players that can go up a level.

 

[Kanga Commando]

Doesn't sound like coaching - that's just work rate & doing the basics well

Does to me
they are setup to hold the ball in
they are told to play close
they are told to play in front

 

[The_Axeman]

So dropping the ball is okay now?

 

[mknaven]

We didn't expect to rock up to geelong and play the Cats where the don't give a yelp did we? It's been hard and tight early, we're not playing v good so we'll get better and have better looks at it. Surely.

 

[JoeHawk]

We are definitely still in this. We've come from behind on a few occasions this year. Cats are not that good. Have faith people. Lets see is we can break even this quarter.

 

[Max Powers]

Flick the switch and get this shit going boys. Rev em up Sammy.

 

[RustyHawk]

Quarter time

H: 01:01:07
G: 05:05:29

Worpel

Seamus Mitchell with turnover kicks in 2 minutes didnt help as we were going forward in the last part of that quarter.

GREAT individual goal off Meek's ruck work by Worpel.

Tough game, Geelong look to have 19 players on the field

 

[CHUBBSS]

Bruest Lewis and Gunston just don’t give the same balance as the outs, going to need a few to lift

 

[Liverbird]

Ambushed and taught a lesson in pressure footy that 1st qtr.

Dons worked there way thru it last night...let's see if we show the same mental fortitude or belief.

Need to show something in 2nd qtr. Getting smashed so far.

 

[Rowie6]

I cannot watch this on a phone my wife who is a Geelong supporter in Brisbane!
I am going to sit this one out otherwise I might be in the doghouse when we get home?
I will go to the pub and have a beer instead of tempting fate!

Of course a Geelong player is having a talk to the umpire at QTR time.. AFL really need to part a hard stop to that behaviour (talking back to the umpire)

 

[Jethro!]

Scott has dissected Mitchell’s game plan. Over to you Sam to counter!

Good test for us Hawkers, come on lads!

We've been way too slow even when they're half backs have been caught up the ground on turnover. Just need to go back to having confidence in our game and I reckon we can match them.

 

[OsakaHawk]

Zero HtB frees so far?
