Game Day Round 21: Hawks v Giants 1:10 pm @ Manuka

[Leather Poisoning]

We had some bad entries into the forward line that quarter.

50m kicks that land 40m out from goal when a forward (Chol or Wiz) is out-numbered. Probably saw that 3 or 4 times.

 

[Ridingthebumps]

One concern is that their bigs won’t get smaller as the game goes on so we have to keep running hard when fatigue sets in as this is our strength and main advantage this game. Kick to grass and run!

 

[TylerDurden]

Send Will forward, isolate him- watch him kick 3-4 and destroy Bedford

We have. They've handed him over.

 

[KermitJagger]

The way this game is shaping up I'm not sure the choice of sub was the best one, in retrospect.

 

[TylerDurden]

That Moore miss stings.

Do we sub Dear for Breust. Getting nothing out of him.

 

[Rioli magic]

Yeah but “running patterns”

Can’t sacrifice our running patterns to stop the oppositions best player from kicking a goal can we?

 

[twentythree]

Just gotta keep working ... They will break eventually

 

[JoeHawk]

Another benefit of becoming a good side and getting on Friday nights and Saturday night more often is we don’t have to suffer through Kellie Underwood .

not just Kellie...its the entire commentary team. So painful

 

[Ridingthebumps]

Maybe sit Day on Whitfield as he could take on Whitfield and Bedford and leave us one free elsewhere

 

[threesixpio]

Best thing about this game so far is that Day has been shutdown and we are still dominating

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Well still get the 8-10 goal win but we're leaving a 100 pointer on the table here

Tbf Giants should've been 4 goals up early doors

After the last two big wins I don't see fatigue creeping in. We're a fit team and this game hasn't exactly been fast paced.

Bad kicking is indeed bad football

 

[Buzz Hawk]

They’re still right in this the giants.
Our intensity and connection not quite there at the minute.
Still confident though.

 

[TylerDurden]

We're going nowhere near Whitfield.

 

[Argy]

Agree 100%

Hope Day can work through it, started to look like he would get involved late in the second.

It's a long career and he's going to get more of it so need to work something, following Whitfield not the worst idea as he would be in dangerous positions going forward and Lachie has almost 400m gained already.

 

[LunchboxLegend]

Now for our patented Q3 burst pls.

 

[KermitJagger]

Tbf Giants should've been 4 goals up early doors

Not necessarily. Repeat points don't mean the same would be repeat goals, we were winning pretty much every centre clearance.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Masssssss

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Dun mass

 

[MistyAvalon]

damn sure i could have kicked that

 

[VandoHawk]

Massimo might be my favourite pickup since Henderson
