[HawkInExile]

Great fight back from the Hawks. Great to see.

Really loved Flemings game today, 28 disposals and 511 metres gained.

I think the younger players will get so much out of today's game from the perspective of now they will understand what going up another level looks like.

I think she's a shot at Hawthorn's best and fairest this season.

Saw the 2nd half , obviously the game was probably gone by then

Thought we played quite well . A bit more composure and clean skill in the last and we probably eat right into that margin

Would say a positive effort against a very good side

 

[Liam AFLW nuff]

Love how we played it out to the end (even if the Crows took their foot off the gas) but the fact the top sides have a gear (or 2) we don't have yet was on display

Will be an interesting recap to record

Yep, this is the takeaway. We got outclassed in a game by a true top side. Umps liked the sound of their whistles but I don't think it mattered, they were calling shadows and we were the ones chasing in that first half.

Unley Oval looked a nice day out but dear me that broadcast position, especially on the main wide-angle, was terrible. Legit struggled to watch what was happening and made my headache worse when trying to watch it. A bit surprised we chose that game to wear clash guernsey too. They do look good at least.

 

[Davo-27]

we took it up to Adelaide for the most part, they are hard to score against, very well structured, Adelaide copped a rocket at quarter time by their coach and they responded with a 4 goals to zip 2nd quarter which ended up being the winning margin, they know how to defend leads, Adelaide and Brisbane have 5/7 premierships, so these 2 teams are way ahead of the rest of the comp and its no shame losing to them at home, we just have to keep improving and try and match their programs to be successful.
