Game Day Round 20, 2023 : Hawthorn v Saints, Marvel Stadium 1:10pm

[Cleavy]

Might be time to turn off. That is crap

 

[Baz_hawk]

How was that not holding the ball. Hardwick had him cold and the ump just closed his eyes

 

[westhawk]

Frost and Meek on the last line, what a nightmare

 

[Blackhawk42]

Has last week killed the desire?

5 more minutes of this yet...

 

[Glebehawk]

Last game for Frost.

 

[Hungdaddy]

Would not mind Scrimshaw back there as an extra interceptor

 

[TylerDurden]

Could be our worst qtr of the year.

 

[grumbleguts]

POssible the worst defensive quarter I think I've seen Hawthorn play. third quarter against Geelong notwithstanding.

 

[SA HAWK]

10 goal quarter coming up for the saints.

Most disappointing quarter of the year.

 

[user33]

This was lost at the selection table. Love Mitchell but gees there’s been some bizarre selections this year

 

[Millsie69]

WHY would you start Blanck as sub and not Bramble…

 

[Brant]

Ryan to CHB?

 

[HedgeFund]

Amazing what happens when defenders are required to defend one-on-one, and the opposition get easy inside 50s.

Hard to coach this tactically.

Players need to hose things down and control the footy a bit.

 

[westhawk]

Meeks like a tree out there, is just a log.

 

[Paul Kersey]

****ing useless in the guts and down back.

 

[Sleutheren]

Wife got home with the kids and they both starting having tantrums just as Lewis missed that set shot when we were in front. Between that and the slaughter on field that has occurred since then, I'm out. Otherwise I'll punch a hole in the wall.
Have fun.

 

[Cleavy]

If there’s no one on the mark, get on your bike and run 20-25m, don’t just stand there. Modern players, I don’t get you.

 

[Kuuz]

This is dire. Mids/ruck getting completely dominated and getting a lesson in the clearance game and backline seems incapable of squaring a contest or defending single entries.

I’m going to watch the box hill replay. This is shocking so far.

EDIT: Also just feel like Finns tagging is a luxury we cannot afford atm. We need a mix of mids who can produce not a player so one-sided. We need another mid right now just to offer something different in the centre.

 

[SSSSSS]

Our midfield should just walk home.

 

[hawkman]

At least we won't be hearing that Reeves is a spud for awhile

 

[rei154]

Boy I'd love to hear what Sam says about this.

To those who flog Reeves in the ruck, I hope you're paying attention

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Let's see the same olds try and defend this. Might be good to see if the defence is better than the onfield stuff

 

[Baz_hawk]

Need to get to quarter time. Meek needs a bake, if he has to take out Marshall then do it.

 

[dermott]

Our midfield is non existent

 

[theiaofseed]

Bramble has been useless.
