Game Day Round 20, 2022: St Kilda v Hawthorn, 4.35pm @ Marvel

[moginie]

Our midfield has stopped. This is over already.

This is the biggest concern. They're getting cacked and don't have another gear to go to.

 

[TylerDurden]

Sit on Newk, game over.

This.

 

[VandoHawk]

Umpires have crucified us but we’ve also done ourselves no favours. Our forwards are stagnant, our ball use into the 50 is putrid and with Newcombe being tagged our midfield can’t seem to win a contest (despite acceptable individual numbers).

Saints are putrid themselves, we’re just THAT bad

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Our midfield with a tagged Newcombe is a very grim sight

Yeah Nash and Ward have been crap you negative …

 

[H00t]

Put your bullsh!t self righteousness back in the bag. We could be playing like the 1988 side and these umpires would f*ck it up for us.

Saints have double our clearances, 31 more contested possessions, 14 more tackles and 17 more uncontested possessions. It’s not the umps causing us to play so badly.

 

[Hodginator]

Worst half for the year. Umps partially to blame but we’ve also not shown up.

 

[lethalselbow]

That first half was a bloody Hannebery of an effort.

Jeka time!

Jeka time.

 

[blackheart]

O'Meara. McEvoy and Mitchell need to start digging in here and show leadership.

 

[Big Hotdog]

Jeka time!

Best player in the AFL present

[Brant]

Coach Killer
Any idea on a personnel change that could bring us back into the game?

 

[hawkman]

Umpires have been bad but there have been some really poor efforts by the team. Workrate has been shocking, constantly get outnumbered at each contest

 

[SSSSSS]

Picking Kosi over Lynch was very strange, form obviously doesn’t count when playing at BH

Pretty clear that selection alone signified our intent for the rest of the season.

 

[matey]

Had enough of beer grabbing a whiskey

 

[rei154]

We really need at least one midfielder and one forward to step up.
Jeka coming in could be a creative use boon for us coming out of the back half, but we're going nowhere with our forward craft.

It's unreal to me how poorly umpired this game has been so far.

 

[TylerDurden]

McEvoy getting absolutely destroyed by Marshall.

 

[westhawk]

Can we ban Ex-Hawk players from commentary in our games please (except Durmy).

Yep, Dunstall is a talking bobble dobble for the AFL.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

The last three weeks were clearly fool's gold

At least you can celebrate

 

[HairyO]

Saints have double our clearances, 31 more contested possessions, 14 more tackles and 17 more uncontested possessions. It’s not the umps causing us to play so badly.

Free kicks are contested possessions and also clearances.

They get to throw the ball away when tackled and we get nothing, so of course they want to tackle.

We are terrible and the umpires are 8 levels worse.

 

[Hawker_85]

Had enough of beer grabbing a whiskey

Yeah I've switched to guns too.

 

[Hans Lutzman]

Saints are the AFls gatekeeper of mediocrity. Hawks still have a fair way to go

 

[The hands of stone]

The last three weeks were clearly fool's gold

No they werent , we won 3 games we should have won .
We have failed in a step up here ......so far

 

[Kuuz]

Yeah Nash and Ward have been crap you negative …

Nash and Ward have been solid yes, but you're ignoring the fact that Jai has been a big driver of our midfield and particularly, our drive out of the centre into the 50.

He's a big catalyst for our side, and putting Coathanger on him is clever. Still, big compliment to Duke to be tagged this early in his career.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

At least you can celebrate

Pardon?

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

 

[Hodginator]

It’s clear, we only play well with 2 rucks
