Game Day Round 3, 2017: Gold Coast Suns v Hawthorn

[RustyHawk]

Aaron Hall has a shot on the run and just misses.

H: 24
G: 48
Double our score

 

[Pessimistic]

I'm a bit grumpy but someone should remind big brownie

Lions season 2006. Two years after grand final #4

Seven wins. Finals since then two

 

[SSSSSS]

Saints are going to be licking their lips.

 

[Flag08]

We're about to be 18th on the ladder

 

[lickmerocks]

We are disgusting today.

We lack any passion and the effort is pathetic.

We have a group who is full of premiership players yet are playing with zero confidence across the board.

Our defenders shit themselves under pressure and our ball movement through the centre of the ground is stagnant short chipping with everyone looking for an easy touch.

We are standing back watching and being taken to the cleaners.

One of the worst half/efforts from a hawthorn side I can recall.

 

[Cleavy]

Need a halftime wall punch to wake this team up.

 

[kazzooka]

Oh crap! Q2: 05:00 minute mark! Shite we couldn't catch a cold. First Poppy then JOM and neither could catch the rabbit. Geez we look slow and unfit

Rough should have marked gunston's kick before all that. We are not doing anything well.

 

[Billyc]

Did we underestimate how many of our players looked good in a strong side? With the stars gone or aged, a lot of the next tier (Gunston, Shiels, Frawley, Stratton, Breust) look very ordinary.

 

[Bremner20]

We are pathetic Gibson should retire now .

 

[Snoref]

Somethings not right, our kicking has been horrible this season, so many points conceded from turnovers and movement forward has been horrible.

 

[satan1]

Yep, given the opposition and our premiership players this is as bad a half as I've seen into the last decade. We are lucky to be this close.

 

[JoeHawk]

Rough should have marked gunston's kick before all that. We are not doing anything well.

Well we're playing badly well

 

[Kuuz]

Honestly. We look absolutely putrid. We hit our back 50 line and then have no clue how to get the footy to our forward half and bomb it into the middle. Gold Coast then rebound at pace and we look slow trying to get the ball back.

Clarko needs to be brutally honest with how he sees this squad after this match. We do not look like a top 8 side at all. Time for us to blood youth into the team and see who sinks and swims by years end. Bring in Pitto, because honestly, we have no ruck at the minute anyway.

I'm going to stop watching for the moment, because we just look an absolute shambles. We have fallen very, very, very far tonight.

[Max Powers]

Enough with the friggin hospital handpasses

 

[Beandip]

Man this is embarrassing, there is almost not a player winning their match-up, no structures, and no reaction to their game... why bother chasing high priced mids if we refuse to ever address the ruck, who is going to tap to them? Every trade season there's handy rucks floating around (e.g. Vardy, Nankervis, Witts others) and we twiddle our thumbs. Maybe Clarkson hates tall people!

Are we looking at a goalless quarter against GOLD COAST?

 

[kazzooka]

Not sure why we are putting so much effort into Ablett, seems to be affecting our ability to win the ball. Much rather we let him have 40 useless touches and we win big like usual.

 

[satan1]

Positive: Hodge can still play.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Umps paying soft frees now
It's over

 

[tige19]

Frawley is a donkey

 

[JoeHawk]

Somethings not right, our kicking has been horrible this season, so many points conceded from turnovers and movement forward has been horrible.

Is there something going on behind closed doors with the departures of Sammy and Lewis? Just saying.....then again we were pretty ordinary for most parts of last year and it's getting worse.

 

[tige19]

Umps paying soft frees now
It's over

The free was there, Frawley has not a friggin clue how to defend

 

[RustyHawk]

Half Time

Hawthorn: 03.04.24
Gold Coast: 07.08.50

[Flamin Joe]

When do we get to play Hawthorn? Should finally notch up our first win.
