Game Day Round 20, 2023: Hawthorn v St.Kilda

[Murraj1966]

Happy to get in 29 points ahead still but jesus a long way to go.

If we lose from 42 points up there's something mentally cooked with this club

 

[jwikked]

he's playing quite poorly though, keeps trying ridiculous attempts at mark of the year.

 

[Joffaboy]

Save the game mode in the second quarter ffs. Cmon lads. Go on with the job for once

You do understand that Hawthorn put away there forward of the ball attack plan as they got 9 goals put on them and put everyone behind the ball with 7 in defence.

Do do know that don't you?

Obviously we are slowing it down deliberately to use that goal gap against them.

Gresham's ball use still a massive negative working against us.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Seems like the initial burst was an unsustainable amount of effort running and pressure that cooked us for the 2nd. Need the half to regain our energy

 

[my name was taken]

Dunno if Lyon told them to go defensive, but it didn't work- instead of playing on quickly, we stopped and propped and went slow so all our forwards were covered.

Yep, slow, kick to wing contest - basically what we have done for the last 2 months unsuccessfully.

Hopefully get back into the corridor in the third quarter

 

[EddieMurphy]

Back to first quarter mode please. Coops keep the knees in Sicilys back.

 

[Saintpav]

5 goal lead not enough.

Feels like 1999 again

 

[PoppedCorn]

The dominance came from clearances early
They won the centre a bit more and hence pulled us up

 

[Hayes4PM]

My big brain tactical genius move for the 2nd half HEAR ME OUT


Owens into the midfield

 

[EddieMurphy]

Higgo kicking like King as well, WTF?

 

[MC_Gusto]

Hawks evened the clearances up

 

[Plugger35]

Not happy with that quarter, we had enough chances to bury the Hawks but we have left the door open for them.

A 5 goal lead isn't enough for us to be comfortable, we need to win the next quarter and extend the lead past 6 goals for us to be comfortable.

 

[70s sainter]

Exactly back to getting smashed in the clearances . Lost the second q but media are ignoring it

 

[bergholt]

Can’t decide if we’re missing Dougs or not, probably not in this one tbh

 

[Joffaboy]

Hawks put everyone behind the ball with 7 in defence.
Just like in qtr 1 it is how the opposition allows you to play.
Lots of energy for Hawks to use to get back on terms

They did flood yes, but we also had players slow to an essential crawl in making options for players, so it's a double thing where they just need to sustain the workrate and didn't so we ran into their walls a bit.

You've really got a problem. Being completely wrong is one thing, being obsessed about the thing you're wrong about is another thing altogether.

 

[moirae42]

Slowed down our ball movement towards entry.
Probably because our last ten weeks have been so horrendous going in.

Hawks got more looks.
Need to lift the pressure in the third. Put the ****ing hammer down.

SaInTs FaNs

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Stocker to midfield.
Will be a game changer right there.
(Positive)

 

[Jade Buddha]

Need to keep taking it on. We sat back that quarter and slowed too much.

 

[Joffaboy]

Let's face it we want to see every qtr of every game like the first. Reality is that getting 9 put on you in the 1st qtr is going to see lots of readjustments.
Hawks flooded and made it very difficult to move the ball.

We will miss Howard more as the game goes on.

Deliberately trolling to get a reaction even though we all know its bait throwing

Yep for sure. But reckon we were too happy to play along. Lost intensity and made dumb errors. If a team drops back like that you should be able to lock it down your end for periods. We didn't do that
