Game Day Round 18, 2022: Hawthorn v West Coast Eagles, 1.10pm @ MCG

[rei154]

Going into the final term being up is a wonderful thing- had a quick read of the past few pages and I don't think it's as bad as some here are making out.
Big Boy, Finn and Ward are the three I think are most important for us this final term.


Ward has look incredibly composed in space throughout this game and I think we need him to get more involved again.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Didn't feel like we won the qtr but we did.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

16-9 free kick count is utter horseshit. Weagles have had hands in the back all bloody day.

 

[Jethro!]

Why does Culley look like he would have lice?

Haha. Is that why Shoooey had to shave his head?

[TylerDurden]

Barrass 14 marks.
Culley 7 clearances and 10 tackles on debut. He's pretty much got em back in it.

 

[PenAndPaper]

how can we just let Barrass keep marking the ball all day…Can someone perhaps just stand with him for the remainder of the day and try and negate his influence? Just a thought.

This is where the lack of Kosi definitely shows

We didn’t get a single free that quarter. In wet conditions. So I can only conclude that the Eagles are playing perfectly.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

I don't think it's as bad as some here are making out.

It’s absolutely that bad - just fortunate we’re playing the team presently in 17th who have a percentage below 60.

 

[hawkman]

That’s really poor defending

The mids never track back hard enough

 

[blackheart]

These umpires aren't too keen on making a decision either way. Twice now it's either in the back or holding the ball, and they've let it go.

 

[rockin ronnie]

Feel like we’ve been beaten in the air and missing Kozi.
Tried to play dry weather footy in slippery conditions.
Uninspiring quarter that one.

 

[Buttonsticher]

This is hard to watch. We must be under instruction to do everything the hard way

When was the last time a team didn’t give away a free kick in a quarter

I'd bet my left nut it involves wet toast!

Then paid the next one which is less obvious and been in the Eagles favor

 

[Kuuz]

Wow Weagles hit a pressure rating of 220 last quarter, which is huge.

The fact we didn't lose any of the lead from half time with that pressure against is pretty solid.

 

[Sixpence]

Did we just win that quarter? We won a third quarter?!

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

moore and ward had quieter quarters.

+15 for contested possessions
+20 hitouts

But we're +14 for clangers, and unfortunately -12 for clearances.

oh, and free kicks, we're -7.

 

[VandoHawk]

HALLELUJAH

 

[MinerBoy]

Don’t try to question whether we deserve a free ffs

Best game i have seen today.

 

[Cleavy]

good thing we're kicking to the scoring end in the final qtr

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Breust has had half our frees

 

[VandoHawk]

First free kick in 40 minutes and they’re complaining it wasn’t there lol
