Game Day Round 18, 2023 : North v Hawthorn, 1:10pm, Marvel stadium

[grumbleguts]

Finn Maginness has had a good kicking game today, apart from his set shot.

This just looks like a training session now. I think we're just getting ready for a big game against Richmond next Saturday.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Worps, Amon and CMac all pretty good today. Scrim decent in the intercept role. Both our rucks still

Overall assessment we played down to their level.

Scrimmers always does well as the third man up intercept role and the side always looks better when he plays well IMO.

He's not a lockdown Backman and never will be but that's okay as having a dominant intercept half back is good as well (even better in a lot of ways).

Our rucks though......to put it this way I was reading the Blues forum after they beat us and a poster was praising Silvangis game in the ruck and another poster sid "yes but the Hawks rucks are young and not particularly good".

Another tough one against the Shinboner Spirits

There it is! Should have been a lot more, but we'll take it!

Shitfest ahoy. OMG

Been a big critic of Scrim this year in Mitchell's era.

Has been really good today. One big clanger but been great otherwise.

What’s with the catch ups at the end of the game - boys having nice little yarns with their opposite number

 

[grumbleguts]

well that was OK. Weddle is going to be insanely good.

A lot of them would have played with each other given how close in age the two sides were today.

 

[MistyAvalon]

a win is a win and I am just so relieved

Important to remember that it's the old 6 degrees of seperation in the football world. Wether it be former teammates, former junior footy teammates etc these guys know each other off the field just as much as on it. Have no problem with showing respect to each other.

Its one of the great things about AFL. That, and that supporters from both teams can sit together unlike many soccer crowds in Europe.

Happy to bank the win, but 90% of the league would've destroyed us after such an inaccurate first quarter. Really hoping we can pick a fwd line and stick with it for next year.

And someone give Worpel a contract already!

I don’t have a problem with it, but it’s normally one or two but today it seemed they all stopped for a chat

Hope frosty was telling Larky to come across to the hawks

Wtf was that kick Finn

Without seeing the whole field - it looked like he was kicking to where the forward would lead to, 25m right in front. But it looked like the forwards double backed and went to the pocket.
