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

[The Lemon]

Although it's early for the autopsy I'd suggest the Mitchell/Lewis trades ( who were 1 and 2 in the B&of) ripped the heart out of them. It's backfired spectacularly.

Not backfired. It's just fastracked the Inevitable.

Q3: 08.15 Rioli scores a point. We are looking a little better but too little too late

H: 33
G: 82

Shiels looks like he's playing in torrential rain

i know it's been frequently talked about but i jut do not understand the seemingly blatant refusal to draft in actual ruckmen. The game has changed in the past year, and now with the rule changes regarding the ruck contests, teams absolutely require a big body that can contest. We do not have that. We knew we didn't have that. We knew it would be an issue. We did nothing.

That's not necessarily true - we drafted Pittonet fairly early because he was considered the best available ruckman and was targeted for that reason. Have to give him time to develop - which hopefully happens quick smart. Not having Ceglar is hurting also.

Don't think I'll ever understand bombing it long to the goal square with Poppy.

The hunger isn't there that's for sure.

0% work ethic when we don't have the ball anymore. Our defensive efforts are putrid.........which is a recipe for disaster when the way we take the ball forward is amateurish these days, so we aren't even getting it done at our scoring end.

Hey Derwayne, remind me again, is the loser 0-3 and on the bottom?

 

[RustyHawk]

Shoot Gunston, shoot...don't look to handpass, kick it!

 

[Since 2001]

we are ****ed.

 

[jpzhawk]

We will lose by 10 goals. We were never going to win this. Likewise next week etc etc....
12th to 15th was always a realistic ladder finish for us. Only the educated realise this and except it without bagging out on our players like so many on here. We will not be a threat for at least 3 - 5 years. Get used to it.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

We can't even hold onto the ball as we run.

 

[Kuuz]

Man imagine if the Saints got the No. 1 draft pick. I'm not sure I could cope with that.

 

[Gene Simmons]

I'm just trying to work out if we need to re-stump, re-wire or knock down and complete re-build?

 

[Hawkas1988]

Free agents hey? What free agent would want to come to us atm? I think the usual Hawthorn supporter arrogance needs to rethink what kind of team we are now.

We have to accept that our youth is really poor/inexperienced. So many holes and weaknesses. Big rebuild time I think

I'm also worried that Rough has no on-field leadership... (and Shiels has always been a non-event). Worry that players are still looking to Hodge for direction. At the moment it looks like we need to delist about 10 players.

What makes you think that rough has no on field leadership? For years I've seen him directing players where to be, not sure what else from the outer you have picked up on..?

Extremely tough day in the office for what we've come to know and expect.

I guess, if you post this every year, as you have, it was bound to be correct eventually.

 

[Crankyhawk]

This is ****ed.

 

[The Lemon]

Sick of Derwaynes hyperbole

 

[HolyRioli]

Someone's clearly applied baby oil to the ball. Jesus Spangher how hard is it to hold a ball

 

[hawks realist]

This is hilarious

 

[cryptor]

Are the Loony Tunes playing a game of footy for their freedom against a team of space aliens who have stolen all the Hawthorn players talent?

 

[Off The Couch]

Someone wave the flag now

 

[Kil Phearns]

I thought 2004 was the my worst ever season following VFL/AFL.

Might have to revise that opinion now...
