Game Day Round 8, 2022: Essendon v Hawthorn 7:25pm May 7th, @ Marvel

[macdaddio]

Lynch having a great game

 

[grumbleguts]

Sorry to say but first quarter- Callow didn't look like marking anything. Poor positioning always.

And now?

 

[Paul Kersey]

Frustrating half. Ess moving it too easy and our forward line really struggling.

 

[westhawk]

I have done a shot of bourbon each time they have mentioned five late changes and I am just about in a alcohol induced coma.

 

[Franko Armani]

A bombers vfl team
Is matching it with us which is a little sad as we are a much better side.

 

[MightyHawks86]

Duke has 22 touches...

 

[RX Hawk]

Gunston has really dropped a notch in kicking this season. Wonder what's wrong?

 

[wahawk]

He’s our omeara. At least he’s cheaper

Give it a rest will you

 

[Billyc]

Says a lot for our improvement that we have played really poorly - and lead by 3 goals at half time.

Newcombe's rise is meteoric. I can't believe how good he is becoming. 22 touches to half time. Our most damaging midfielder now. The tag might come soon.

Day has been pretty average all year, and tonight. Not seeing the development I was hoping to see this year. Hopefully turns it around soon.

 

[Pessimistic]

Could the commentators pull the Bomber's joysticks any harder?

Kosi ‘drew a free’ apparently. It was high, front on, reckless and kosi had another guy in his back

 

[Hotham Hawk]

Not pretty but 3 goals up is 3 goals up.

Hope Frosty is ok.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

8 goals 9 behinds.

Some really poor misses too. Need to straighten that up quick smart.

 

[Stranglers]

Well, we are in front but this is clearly one of our "down" weeks. Wish the boys would just back themselves and crack in, we have the potential to absolutely take them to the cleaners if we just play with a bit of aggression and flair.

Oh piss off with this.

They're missing 5 depth players. We should be better but let's not pretend they don't have most of their best players and their entire first choice midfield in.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

To be honest that half was pretty garbage. If it wasn't for half their team out we would be getting done.

I wouldn’t trade Big Boy, Reeves, Lewis, CJ and Wingard for the rubbish players the Bummers have out.

 

[xmarksthespot]

Matthews tuck platten Rioli in one package

Dead silence after every hawthorn goal as they wait for the replay. In contrast, they fall over each other to gush over bomber players when they score.

 

[lethalselbow]

Moore needs to stay up forward!

Be great if Moore can kick a few in the second half, for a change.

Had a great first half of footy.

 

[RX Hawk]

Our backline is under performing today. Comeon Hawks.

 

[Pessimistic]

Give it a rest will you

Older players there for support in a young team Shiels would be better

 

[SSSSSS]

If Gunston loses his radar that tap on the shoulder is going to come really ****ing quickly.

 

[Brant]

Not pretty but 3 goals up is 3 goals up.

Hope Frosty is ok.

What's the story there?

Injured?

Day did no pre season and is carrying a leg injury. You can see he is trying to get onto his left foot all the time .

His right foot does not have any penetration at the moment .

 

[grumbleguts]

Good thing Dylan Shiel is shit, that was terrible by Day!

What? getting punched in the head was HIS fault?

 

[SJT76]

Kosi ‘drew a free’ apparently. It was high, front on, reckless and kosi had another guy in his back

I though he “drew” it with his intensity at the contest. Not everyone is out to get us all the time
