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

[CHUBBSS]

Games like this are great because it highlights all the things we need to improve. Can’t drop team pressure or it throws to much out of balance

Also helps when all the umpires are their neighbours

 

[PenAndPaper]

Why are we playing him as a lock down defender though?

Because he was an AA fullback in U/18

 

[Kanga Commando]

Geelong play off their opponents, we aren't quick enough to react

Geelong are on top of all of our players every time we get it
They dont play off at all

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

CJ's weak effort a few minutes ago killed any chance we had. Had to have been stronger putting body pressure on and not allowing him to escape and get an easy handball away. Not enough desperation.

 

[Millsie69]

All of our defenders are having shockers.

Yep. We'll learn more from this.

Could be a lot of learnings on the back end of the year

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Why are we playing him as a lock down defender though?

It's a baffling move. I'm guessing they're expecting a tag so they're playing him defensively?

 

[Hotham Hawk]

The day these pricks tumble down the ladder, no sympathy. Sick of them.

 

[Max Powers]

Gobsmacked this is for the most part is a train wreck.

 

[Iceman!]

Weddle’s had his pants pulled down by Cameron this time really- midfield effort hadn’t helped I spose

Has happened to plenty of more experienced players, he will be better for this game.

 

[Blahsta]

The amount of inexplicable skill errors from some of our best ball users today under no pressure has been unbelievable.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Another non htb call.

 

[grumbleguts]

Earth calling NASH; LEWiS; WEDDLE; BRUEST…

Nash has completely taken Dangerfield out of the game. What are you watching?

 

[Iceman!]

One of the most blatant HTB calls just ignored LMFAO

 

[Rioli magic]

umpires just watching Geelong players throw the ball….

WTF.

 

[Off The Couch]

Htb just does not exist if you are a cat

 

[seysearles]

Unbelievable isn't it, he shuts dangerfield out and there are still people out there who think he's not doing anything.

Shuts Dangerfield out!?! Ummmm

 

[Kanga Commando]

Should have been htb to comac

 

[LunchboxLegend]

Kicking to stationary target.
Intercepted or spoiled.
Rinse and repeat.

 

[RobHawk]

You have to laugh at these cheating umps

 

[Brant]

Sur

Htb just does not exist if you are a cat

Like Footstink in 2016

 

[CHUBBSS]

It’s noticeable the players are all frustrated with the umpiring, very

 

[Crankyhawk]

well we aren't going to win but we can at least continue like that quarter and at least fight it out

 

[hawksfan71]

Gobsmacked this is for the most part a train wreck.

we shouldn't at all be surprised look at recent games against the shats and add in sis out

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Seems 2024 is more 2006 than 2007

We're well off it. Depth tested and we capitulated.
