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

[The Golden Glenferrie]

And now you can dead set pencil in another away game here next year. AFL have that booked

I’m not bashing the umpires but the holding the ball interpretation in this game has resorted back to earlier on in the season and the game is much worse off for it.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Also Seamus Mitchell never again.

Don't know exactly what he brings to the team tbh

 

[kirbatron]

cats impressive all game. came out far more switched on & executing their plan very well.

we're making silly mistakes quickly halting any whiff of momentum we might get

 

[Nugett]

Let’s win this final quarter.

 

[Paul Kersey]

At least show some muscle.

 

[Agent_99]

Enough about the umpires

 

[mknaven]

I really hate the way we are bringing the ball in from a behind. It is so basic and so far, ineffective. Calsher Dear impressed me immensely due to his ability to take a contested grab from our deplorable kick-ins. Lews, Chol & Meek not only fail to take the grab, they also struggle to create a contest - which we have similarly been unable to win.

I know Mitch said we went in a bit tall, so we live & die by long down the line, but these kick-in strats are simply not working and ineffective. I really hope we spend a bit of time improving in this area moving fwd.

15 marks inside 50 to 3qtr time. That's the game right our inability to bring the ball to ground. Some have been from direct turnovers where they have been alone but we can't be bleeding like this if we're going to win games of footy. Lot to work on during the week.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

We are doing some things right, but they score with ease going the other way.


Need to win the quarter.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Another 20+ possession 2 goal game coming up for Moore.

If he isn't AA this year I will dead set spew!

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Huge effort by Chol there in that 50/50

 

[Crankyhawk]

Goddamn this shithole ground the handbaggers have dragged us down to.

But finals between us will never be played there thankfully.

except for freo. Who beat them in 2013

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Nice grab Mitch

 

[Judd2Sewell]

A bit of a wake up call it seems.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

It was the Amon turnover that killed us.
Fight hard boys and win the quarter.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Big contested marks in the goalsquare?

Great to have you back Mitch

 

[Liverbird]

Could not handle the pressure.

Our skills and decision making were poor.

Defence put in a shocker.

Again all because we could not handle the heat at all, just not good enough today.

Complain about the umps as much as you want, we only have ourselves to blame. Beaten by the better team on the day.

Reality check peeps... we are still a little while away from learning how to play in a high pressure game. Found out by the Cats today.

Let's see how we respond this week, this was over at quarter time.

 

[Max Powers]

Moore again. Can we clone him.

 

[Hotham Hawk]

Onya Lewis

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Also Seamus Mitchell never again.

Don't know exactly what he brings to the team tbh

Isn't he on Stengle?. Hasn't done alot so that's a win but his ball use has been shocking.

 

[Max Powers]

Onya Lewis

 

[triple treat]

So when is Geelong's cliff coming???

Reality is this is there best and its just about or worst

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Come on Hawks, big last quarter effort!! Let's at least rattle their cage!

 

[Jethro!]

Chol's played his role
