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

[LunchboxLegend]

Every player has lowered their colours today,

Agreed, but they are not all equally horrible.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Game is about saving face now that's it. Sick of these pricks bullying us when it really shouldn't be happening now. Until we learn how to cope with intense pressure we won't move forward as a side. Scott will just roll out this blueprint every time we play each other until we show we can adapt and deal with it.

 

[Blackhawk42]

This honestly looks like the loss we needed to have more than the Port game.

I expect a massive response next week.

Came into this game with absolutely zero confidence and was honestly a bit surprised at how amped a lot of you on here were. I think I used the word 'brave' when referencing the confidence I was seeing.

At some point a team was going to put the clamps on us, and it felt inevitable that it would be an experienced team of cockroaches at their silly skinny ground.

 

[humid hawk]

Am really keen to see how we come out in the second half.

 

[Paul Kersey]

****ing cheating campaigners.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Bloody cheats!

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

I came into today not expecting a win.

This isn't a step back, or a lesson, this is a total goddamned humiliation.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Pathetic

 

[Flamin Joe]

WOW corrupt

 

[Max Powers]

Throw by Rohan. Free kick Geelol

 

[JoeHawk]

that is criminal..rohan. cost us a chance at a goal

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

I'd love for one of you umpire apologists to explain that non-decision when Rohan threw the ball out after being tackled for 3 or 4 seconds.

 

[Mercy Seat]

Different set of rules at the cattery, bloody hell

 

[blackheart]

The con is always on with the Cats.

 

[Brant]

There were bits to like in the last 5-10 mins.

Regroup.

We're still in this.

 

[RustyHawk]

Half time

H: 04:03:27
G: 09:07:61

Need more from Amon, D'ambro and Impey

Worpel been magnificent

 

[VandoHawk]

It feels weird saying this but 34 points isn’t horrible given the quality of our performance. We have been very bad with pressure and skills. The few times we move it quickly we’ve troubled them. A team wide lift in the second half gives us a chance.

 

[CHUBBSS]

We need Harry to come on, someone out of Gunston, Lewis and Breust, at this stage likely Breust

 

[Mitchell Madness]

We aren't out of it, we've finally started playing our game.
Issue is that now we need to spend the tickets to get closer, rather than putting on a lead

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

Throw by Rohan. Free kick Geelol

Umpires are beyond bad. Beyond a joke. So incompetent it beggars belief.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Dear Lordy! The game isn’t over yet! A great test for our Hawks… We’re still in this game.

Sure we’re missing Ginni, Sis and Dear. Time to work on our plan B! Come on Hawkas!

 

[daniel23]

We can win this .

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Have been larger deficits hunted down.

34 points is easily doable.

Agreed, and the ball just bouncing/deflecting the wrong way every single time. Just one of those days so far, but that can reverse.

 

[Mitch75]

About as bad a half as we’ve played all year. Yet we’re within 6 goals. We need to start winning the ball out of the middle and at stoppages, and we’re a chance
