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

[Baz_hawk]

So reading this thread, all of Lewis, Sicily and Newcombe are playing injured? Golly.

Rolled ankles, the lot of them.

 

[westhawk]

Wouldn’t like to see the scores from turnovers stat today.

It would be a horror show.

 

[spudmaster]

GO SON!

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Not holding a lot of hope for the next few years I'm afraid, especially when Tassie comes in and gains all the draft picks and concessions. A lot of pain coming our way. We just don't have the cattle, and I can't see where they are coming from.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

We stop footy for rain!?!? WTF.

Lightning

 

[Sleutheren]

Lot to do with no pressure when the those teams going forward

Sometimes yes. But Essendon kicked a lot of improbable goals.

 

[Flukey!]

Two weeks in a row our games have been lost in the first 30 minutes of play.

 

[MadDawg]

That wasn't lightning, it was the Wizard getting ready to tear the fourth quarter apart!

 

[hawkman]

GO SON!

Biggest cheer of the day and the biggest boo

They

… what are they on at Geelong, so many of their players are built like beasts!

They pay Hawkins peanuts - all deferred until retirement I suspect - so they can afford a lot more than others.

Also - Bomber Thompson’s legacy.

Anybody else think Breust and Lewis shouldn’t go to Adelaide next week

Breust shouldn't
Lewis needs to be pushed to CHF - whenever he's there is runs 15km and opens up our forward line. Don't know if he's being protected due to fitness, or if it's instruction. If it's instruction Sammy needs to go because he clearly doesn't see what works

Impey is on thin ice too, provides no pressure as a defender, and doesn't have the leg speed to play a running role off half back

 

[RX Hawk]

Putting Amon back on the bloody wing where’s basically an All Australian is the biggest no brainer move we can make. Done with Impey too, just offers zero. Hasn’t even come close to the pre ACL form we seen a while ago. Given up hope.

Totally agree on Amon. Can't understand why he is not used in the most needed wing. Poor coaching two weeks in a row.

 

[TAITA]

Lightning will always hit the highest point. If they had any idea they would be evacuating Level 4.

In grassroots footy a lightning strike per a certain period of time leads to a walkoff - we don't have a six story stadium surrounding us to absorb the strike.

 

[onthemoney]

Young Henry has had a mare today.

I got a couple of thumbs down for suggesting it earlier on. Far out, the fandom is ridiculous.

I appreciate it's only game 3, he's young and raw. I'm very hopeful he will go on to be a good player, but it's fair to call it out, he's had a nothing game and I'm sure he will be disappointed at the missed opportunity given his BH form.

Biggest cheer of the day and the biggest boo

Brilliant haha. Loved the PA announcement to stay off the ground following it lmao! No shit Sherlock.

 

[Hawk Vision]

Sure buddy, who are Geelong missing agai

Seriously? Danger and Thouy and we are playing reserves. Give yourself an uppercut.

Hawkins and Stewart spending most of the game on the bench. Open your eyes

Reeves thankful he's not playing.

He is a good leading forward and a terrible wrestle forward which means by playing him deep we are playing him to his weaknesses

 

[Strattonsphere]

I feel like Frost has seen some type of witchdoctor in the off-season and stolen all of Sicily's ability

 

[cryptor]

Here’s hoping that an unexpected 20min break late in the game has more of an impact on their older bodies.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Nash has been ok since quarter time, but if his in our best starting 3 mids going forward we are in trouble

 

[Judd2Sewell]

I'm sick of hearing how impatient this group is and how quick they want to turn it around to play finals. It surely doesn't show, half aren't willing to work hard enough for long enough.

Empty hollow talk.

It’s fair to call things honestly. We know he is not quick and moves like Pendlebury but his hands and positioning today were terrible.

 

[TAITA]

Have heard - players wanted to play but umpires are scared !

One even said ‘was that thunder ?’

Worried that it might of struck one of the Geelong water bottles that they happily drank the koolaid they were sucking on.

Precisely. But he's also a very good kick, and would have a field day hitting chol
