Game Day Round 5, 2024: Suns v Hawks, 7:30pm, People First Stadium

[rei154]

How many goals would the campaigners have to halftime without the rubbish free kicks?

It'd be us by 2 points by my count...

 

[xmarksthespot]

Disagree on Impey - he's done some great things.
Agree with the rest - Weddle looking very strong and confident and his disposal is getting more dangerous

Yeah perhaps a bit harsh on Impey. I think I mark him a bit harsher than most as I think when he's on, he's fantastic.

 

[kenneje]

One of the worst collective midfield performances I can remember.

Defence has been good all things considered.

 

[earthworms]

When ball = slippery, disposals = less. Somehow doesn't affect Gold Coast.

 

[HoldingThe Ball]

Oh my.

Thoughts

Sicily looks like he doesn't give a toss.

Ramsden can use BOTH hands to attempt a mark

Weddle squibbed another one in defence against Holman

Amon is not a defender - Mitchell impersonating bad Clarko here

Hardwick forward doesn't fool the opposition when you did it last week

Nash has reached his ceiling

Conor Mac is the laziest one-way runner at the club.

Is Butler playing?

is a shadow of last season

I have no idea what has happened to Newcombe.

We have no leaders on-field. We have become soft, and I don't know what Sam can do about it.

Mass changes need to be made next week - MacDonald, Butler, Sicily, Ramsden and Nash at least.

My god, it's genuinely sad watching our proud club performing like this.

I have no answers - I hope Sam does.

A fair few blokes need to be shown the door at seasons end and we may need to start again.

 

[Siri]

Now I can see why Chol is at his third club

He can be athletic, when he chooses, but he's just not a natural footballer.

 

[Da Game]

Give HH a run straight after half time. Need to do something in the midfield. Nash out

 

[hfc70]

Maybe we are focusing on our easy kill next week

 

[Hawkas1988]

How we are only 22 points down with that midfield performance is actually quite incredible.

I am so frustrated by the holding the ball interpretation, they hardly ever reward the tackler.
I feel like the game is broken in this area, it’s gone against the fabric of the game.
It’s got to the point where it’s nearly detrimental to tackle as you hardly ever get rewarded and you’re pretty much out of the play if you commit to the tackle.

Yep - if you overcommit to a tackle (who knew there was such a thing?) you're in trouble.

 

[Brant]

We're 3.5 goals down without our midfield getting a kick (almost literally). Even with the 2nd worst umpiring effort I've ever seen.

We're right in this.

And worse of all, we haven’t adapted to get away with the throwing handballs and therefore we get pinged as a result when we are tackled

 

[extractasam]

Plenty of room for improvement
Dumping the ball on Chol’s head is doing him no favours
The forward delivery in general is poor.
Improve it and we hit the scoreboard
Oh yeah it’s hard to give away free kicks when you’re first to the ball

We are simply second to the ball to often

As I said plenty of room to get back into this

Our mids aren’t getting their hands on it in transition so really we’re just attacking purely from the back half. Taking away from our ability to get repeat inside 50s, which also results in our forwards being unable to get any pressure on. Not clean enough to really win the game any other way I don’t think.

You weren't around for some of the nineties I guess......

 

[blackheart]

Surely the lad talking about not being sure of Ginnivan's position meant CMac.

 

[earthworms]

Nash to the backline, Amon to the wing, sub butler out for hustwaite, throw hardwick forward.

 

[hfc70]

You know something’s not quite right when Finn Maginess kicks 2/3rds of your score

 

[Kuuz]

I really love the 2024 version of Meek and Frosty.

But could we please have back the '23 Midfield Unit.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks

 

[SA HAWK]

Didn't realise the midfield was getting smashed that badly.

How are we not 10 goals down.

it’s been like this for years now, but this seasons gotten worse again.

 

[cam975]

Ward has 4 kicks, 0% disposal efficiency, 4 turnovers. Can't kick right footed, can't mark overhead. Struggling to think what he brings besides being able to run?

I still remember we had 100 tackles against the doggies in the semi final in 2016 for not a single HTB.

Bulldogs throwing has been a blight to the game.

 

[Rioli magic]

14 / 22 with 5 or less possessions at half time. Only 2 players in double figures.

Midfield getting smashed.

 

[Since 2001]

Just go for it:
Ginni, weddle, newcombe centre bounce

Frenchie and ward wingers

Cmac is best down fwd

Massimo hbf

Get hardwick to backline
