Game Day Round 3, 2024 : Hawks Vs. Cats Easter Monday edition

[mustang]

Do we as a club still make kicking a high priority when drafting as i don’t feel we do.

 

[RoughysMullet]

Hats off to Worpel- he’s shown up in the midfield to start the season when not many others have. Could be the next captain

 

[smish]

Sicily eaten alive this year. Similar to when Strats became captain

Needs to be Day or Moore next year. Just looks uninterested.

 

[grumbleguts]

The umpires have affected the margin, don't give a sh!t what anyone else thinks.

 

[Blahsta]

Any chance a team we play doesn't have unbelievable goal kicking accuracy

 

[VandoHawk]

Once again 17.4

What is it with teams just kicking dead eye straight against us from set shots? They’re not all easy. Especially in these conditions.

 

[smeltitdeltit]

Crazy the commentary on Ginnivans non paid high frees, yet special comments Selwood hasn’t even said a fkcn word

 

[Bremner20]

Impey needs a spell , we played well for 5 minutes but we are putrid well off the pace be lucky to win a game .

 

[MillerHawk]

The number of times this year we’ve grinded for 10 mins for a goal, and the other side kicks one 11 seconds later. FFS.

This

 

[MinerBoy]

That’s deliberate based on today campaigners

My bad. Seeing red because of the umpiring so leaking an easy goal is so frustrating.

I would make Hardwick captain has the Vanderberg feel to it.

Until someone shows themselves like Mitchell and hodge did as our next captain may not even be on the list yet.

 

[Wingnut19]

Mitch obviously wants our best kicks coming out of defence, but Massimo, Amon, Scrimshaw and Sicily just aren’t good enough defensively

 

[BobHawk]

It is inexcusable that we have a league where the umpires umpire a player instead of umpiring the actual rules.

WTF is this.

Umpire the rules, it’s supposed to be a professional sport. Cannot just disregard the rules for one player.

Reckon its always been like that. I can go back to the 1970s. Seems to be a culture thing, they actually discuss which players to look after, which players they think play for the free etc. Then they just umpire that way regardless of what actually happens.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

When weddle screws up he just goes back and fixes it. Love that

 

[goldfinger]

You know there's something very wrong with the umpiring when all the usual AFL bootlicker sycophants like BT and David King are repeatedly highlighting it. Expect a couple of charities to Ginnivam next week before normal transmission resumes.

 

[nelk boys]

CMac drops the easy mark and we get opened up.
Needs to be dropped.

Ward will be dropped before him.

Made even worse when if that was Joel Selwood he'd get the free every single time, even if it's not there. Despite him being the biggest ducker and cheat in the history of the game. Ginnivan spent his entire junoirs learning that this behaviour is how you are meant to play and be called a "champion". Ducking for free kicks was endorsed by the AFL as the preferred method of play yet they single out 1 player just because he admits that he has watched and learned from the great duck.

 

[Rioli magic]

Weddle does some shocking handballs.

Needs some serious time spent practicing on this part of his game.

 

[TAITA]

All things considered, and we didn't adapt to the game, but I would be much happier with the 'Experts from MAFS' umpiring the game today.

We need to be better **** me.

 

[VandoHawk]

That was the only Ginnivan free that wasn’t there

 

[Since 2001]

disappointing end to the game. You can see when we are conservative with the ball we struggle to move, but when we take the game on and move fast we are a much better looking team. Players to come back, positive signs and hopefully mitch is alright!

Hawks need to go the afl for a please explain for the wizard and ginni, especially ginni, he gets unfair treatment and umps obviously have lets say high standards to what accounts to a free for him. if his name was Selwood they would be paid all day and every week

 

[BobHawk]

Its actually about the way we play. They get easy entries and easy shots.

Sorry to intrude but Collingwood fans screamed this point for 2 years and nothing was done it sucks but don't expect it to change , the league is run by amateurs

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Aww well the Hawks fought back, today you can seen the best and worse of the team. We’re looking to do our best more regularly.

The midfield seemed to find some touch which bodes well moving forward.

The Wiz seemed to click a little today and his only going to get better.

Ginni deserved a free for head high, umpires have there head stuck up there own buttt!

Boys had a red hot go!

Or professionals, pushing for a specific result?
