Game Day Round 2, 2022: Port v Hawthorn, AO 7.40pm, Saturday 26th March

Just think about how effective Will Day will be in a side with this sort of ball movement

And Bramble and Impey

rock hard atm

 

[Pessimistic]

Still employing a form of the Clarko zone defence. Has Mitch and co modified it a bit. They were talking and pointing quite a bit last week new players or new zone?

 

[JoeHawk]

Not so easy tonight for Lewis. Would love to see him clunk a big mark

 

[KermitJagger]

Our defense could be the most flexible in the competition

Missing two of our best users in Day and Bramble and Impey gives us some dash too. If we keep playing to this standard it’s super exciting for this young group.

What the **** is going on?

 

[Viddiot]

Raw meat and peptides on the half time menu! and throw just one snake into the center of the room and have the boys fight for it!!

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

It’s our fight in the contest and pressure that I’m really liking. We’re not letting port off with any cheap disposals at the moment.

Just gotta keep it up.

 

[Breustiful]

Not so easy tonight for Lewis. Would love to see him clunk a big mark

Happy he’s moving up and making a contest. Exactly what we need.

rock hard atm

A cat couldn’t scratch mine at present time. Still without our best two young players in Day and Bramble. Wowee

 

[MitchHomieQuan]

Ok, time to see how fit we actually are

 

[blackheart]

Bit of the Ron Swansons about Conor.

 

[robiecampbellbrown]

Still expect port to come back and win but the first half was good to watch

 

[hawkguru]

 

[heh]

Enjoying this so far.

 

[SA HAWK]

We may fall in a heap in the 2nd half but damn i am excited for the future

 

[burger09]

Our Forwards look a real handful for port.
Just have to keep getting it in there.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

We held our nerve and fought back well that quarter, but they’ll be fired up after half time.

How we respond may be a work in progress.

 

[parsons nose]

The most pleasing thing is the form of Gunner. I really thought he'd never come back from his back injury.

 

[Pessimistic]

Hamish said when he was a kid he stole a matchbox car from a shop…a police car

 

[Glenhope]

Massive upsides to the first half. If this is the Sam Mitchell game plan it looks good. Gunston kicking them from both pockets is great. Conner's goal was a bonus. The back line looks great.

Gotta say though that 50 meter penalties are a blight on the game. I hate them even when we get them. Except for late hits, the rest can go. A lot of them are for technicalities that are so insignificant to the game that it ruins the contest. Don't get me started on the stupid stand rule. Vomit.

 

[KermitJagger]

As of half time, expect these guys to run just as hard in the second half

 

[Flamin Joe]

I know I shouldn't be surprised but half the PA team looks like they were recruited from Centrelink.

 

[badgrill]

I'm loving this 'Going Forward' game plan we have going on now.

Going fwd to an open fwd line!
