Game Day Round 19: Hawks v Pies 4:35pm @ The G

[Cleavy]

Gotta tell CJ just take the first option.


Boys are playing so well

That’s doubly important in the wet

 

[Franko Armani]

Love our effort , pressure and run tonight. We’ve been looked after by the umpires which is pretty wild.

Hope we can keep up the pressure. Insane conditions out there.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

All the best sides need a bit of luck.

Those last two misses from them going into halftime will hopefully crush their spirit completely. (Our two misses from Chol and CJ took the wind out of our own sails).

 

[Judd2Sewell]

CJ earning himself some time at Box Hill. Needs to work on skills, decision making and the fumbles (forgivable today given it is so wet, but it's been an issue since his return).

 

[Jethro!]

Great half.
We've even got some boys who can lift.

 

[KermitJagger]

Agree. Jiath doesn’t go in hard so if he’s having a bad day it hurts. Finn will go in hard.

Mostly I feel like Finn isn't going to go try to finesse it too much. Just gotta get it forward.

 

[MistyAvalon]

We are all over them and they only look like scoring off our bad turnovers and mistakes.

Problem is we are giving them a number of chances from poor decisions.

Lucky they didn’t bring their kicking boots

very lucky.. wish we had ours

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

Either sub Sic or move fwd. He cannot play back and not tackle or compete.

Commentary went way too hard on this. He is having a huge impact shoulder or no shoulder imo

 

[hardway]

Need to continue with the pressure. Limit the brain fart decisions.

 

[madhawksfan]

A few poor moments in the last 5 minutes of that quarter. Our small forwards are the difference, particularly the Wiz and Punky.

Nash has been immense. Must keep the foot on the throat because they will not lay down.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

Mostly I feel like Finn isn't going to go try to finesse it too much. Just gotta get it forward.

He's made a few glaring errors but his impact is also very noticeable. His running power is immense. Don't like Finn sub but Naicos is doing nothing anywat

 

[Viddiot]

Really enjoyed that 15 minutes I got to watch. NEVER let the team hear the commentary until we've locked in a finals position though....very nice words said...but let's wait until we've achieved something. Hahaha!

We've been let off the hook by Collingwood at the end there. The best teams make yo pay for that kind of thing. i hope we dig in and the 3rd and leave them thinking 'if only...' Lol.

, he changed his approach that quarter and it involved avoiding locking arms with Meek then bumping him with the shoulder. Prevents the wrestle and limits the quality of Meek’s tap. It’s had an impact on our midfield too with Collingwood gaining clear ascendancy in clearances.

We torched them on quick rebound though.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

So good to see Watson doing everything. Very intesne defensive work and nailing those two goals is exactly what he needed. He's been trash talking less today and just getting the job done.
Wiz and Moorey is the real partnership - those two are both strong, smart and hard working with great finishing skills.

Yeah they’ve fluffed a few but we’ve hardly capitalised on chances either

Would they jab him up to play? Just didn’t look like he should’ve been out there until the meds started working.

Yeah I'm not really bothered on Daicos... yet. He does tend to spark in the second half, but Finn is just as good a runner as CJ so I'd be bringing him on for that as opposed to a tag.

 

[Truetiger]

Fantastic first half, please let it continue.

Regards
Everyone besides them on Bigfooty

I’m sure I’m seeing Bailey Smith

Spot on, just can’t be trusted with ball in hand, and don’t know if he ever will. Just makes too many bad decisions and isn’t great by foot.

 

[MistyAvalon]

now if we win and port and melb lose... weare in the 8 i think.... what a boost that would be

Agree but gonna be tough rucking out this game for him.

 

[KermitJagger]

Would they jab him up to play? Just didn’t look like he should’ve been out there until the meds started working.

They haven't done that for ages, painkiller injections are banned. He'd be having panadol or nurofen at most.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

You'd think that these conditions would suit Newcombe. Hopefully he has a better second half.

 

[satan1]

Love the forward rascals flying the flag for each other. They are going to give teams nightmares over the journey.
