Game Day Round 6, 2024: North v Hawks, 4pm Marvel

[SSSSSS]

Need to put Finn on Sheezel.

 

[Rioli magic]

Two grab with the siren in between, sums up our season really.

 

[Paul Kersey]

North can't keep the ball in their forward line. Worse than us so far.

 

[Brishawk]

Shakey start. Good response. Best first quarter if the year and first time we have led.

 

[Wesley2]

North have been lifted by the umps, a strong 4 quarters needed

 

[HedgeFund]

Morrison has to play every week. He just has the composure that so many of our players don't have at the moment

Totally agree.

Plus he has the ability to react defensively quicker than the “exciting” mids who ball watch and push to far forward.

He is great at being the 7th defender

 

[hardway]

Lucky for these 2 teams there is no relegation in AFL.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Groundhog Day

They key with Groundhog Day is that it does change for the better eventually

 

[SSSSSS]

If the umps even it up we will absolutely brain them.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Nice comeback. Looks like we are playing 21 today. CMac’s started well.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

We still guard space/corral way too much. Tackle the campaigner

 

[Leather Poisoning]

If we can ignore that first seven minutes....
Newcombe looking much much better
Weddle and Scrim taking great defensive marks
Macdonald and McKenzie working really well with each other.

 

[Bedi]

Good comeback, but North prob looked the better side. Gunston, Mackenzie, Macdonald and Morrison all had good quarters

 

[GinniAndTonic]

Gunners has been extremely good

 

[HedgeFund]

That was definitely after the siren

….plus McDonald fisted it first.

 

[smish]

Still reeling about the non 50 to Cmac

He’s gone noticeably harder at it today

 

[Leather Poisoning]

We still guard space/corral way too much. Tackle the campaigner

We all rush at the player with the ball (giving them lots of free options) or we all sit back. Real sign of an inexperienced team.

 

[CHUBBSS]

weve lifted, its not perfect but its so much better

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Winning a first quarter is nice.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Meek needs to lift

 

[earthworms]

The first 1st quarter we have won this year

 

[theiaofseed]

Fenchy showing why he went so high, his awareness around the contest is second to none.
Weddle back peddled into a marking contest at least 3 times that quarter and took big interception marks.
Morrison showing class specially early when our defensive was a wreck.
Macdonald looks dangerous just hasn't had the finish

 

[Dewnior]

Forget about the umps. It's 22 v 25 every week we run out. But I reckon our 22 this week is better than their 25.

Go Hawks

 

[Sixpence]

Good comeback, but North prob looked the better side. Gunston, Mackenzie, Macdonald and Morrison all had good quarters

No they didn't, we looked better and should be further in front if the umps were fair.

 

[Ridingthebumps]

Good to see free kicks are 6 to 2 against us
