Game Day Round 9: Hawks vs Tigers

[Noneedforaname]

Nothing wrong with what he is saying - the hawks need to look at how the tigers move the ball and how they have faith in kicking it long into their forward line because if jack doesn't get it there small players will mop up



It's down right embarrassing now and I do believe I will vomit if I listen to clarksons press conference so will pass

Nothing wrong with what he's saying at all. I just figured no one would need any ironic smily. Apart from repeating the obvious point, even a tool like McClure can state the bleeding obvious

 

[Baz_hawk]

Schoenmakers pushed in the back...

 

[MinerBoy]

17 points down 60 seconds to go in 3rd quarter.

53 points down 5 minutes into the 4th.

Geez, how good are we...........

 

[Flamin Joe]

100 point drubbing at this rate.

PATHETIC!!!!!

 

[TheFourPillars]

We are making up the numbers. Its plain to see now... Franklin's got problems with his kicking and we have been smashed out of the middle

 

[LuvMyHawks]

Still, given the delivery and free run that they have, I think it should have been worse. You're probably right, if it was a better side, it would have!

I will stand by the defence though. It's the best we have fielded in a long while, and come finals time (insert prayer!) it will be a pretty well dripped machine.

Finals time??? No, they won't be playing in finals, bombers,wc,crows,etc, we won't beat any of them this year.. we have lost the mojo

 

[reubski23]

incredible

17 points down 60 seconds to go in 3rd quarter.

53 points down 5 minutes into the 4th.

Geez, how good are we...........

More to the point, how good are the Tiges.

Turn the corner game for them.

 

[seysearles]

This and the Swans game have confirmed my suspicions. We don't have the metal. Dont see how a team that plays this sort of football are a flag threat. Look at every premiership winning team since perhaps Adelaide in 1998 and none of them put in performances like this during the season. Its a shame. The Tigers look great though it should be said. Theyre on the up. Wouldnt be surprised if they finished above us come year's end.

 

[asanque]

Sack Clarkson.

That is all, he has lost the team.

 

[hawkman]

Can we start the autopsy thread early.

How many can we drop in one week?

Hale has to go along with half a dozen of the midfielders

 

[MinerBoy]

Good sides don't bend over like this.

 

[Flamin Joe]

Clarko, time to fall on your sword.

We're going backwards.

 

[blackhead&boil]

some dynasty we're having.

in 2009 we were the youngest ever team to be defending a premiership. now we're looking like the first pre-season premiership favourite to finish bottom 4...

 

[jr4jane2004]

this is pathetic....i though geelong would be the one to decline..didn't think it would be us...goes to show our midfield is way overrated...and our coach is clueless no plan b...at all....disappointed..worse loss ever....

 

[MinerBoy]

More to the point, how good are the Tiges.

Turn the corner game for them.

Well i think they were 3-5 before today, so i would say still not all that good. just good enough to beat teams that don't want it enough.

 

[Fastback]

Tigers have kicked 7 goals in 10 minutes...reminds me of the Sydney game. When we fall behind we absolutely implode.
Disaster.

 

[Ledger]

We've beyond lost our mojo, a bottom 8 team if we play like this again.

We need a big change in our game plan and quickly or else we're in big danger.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Good sides don't bend over like this.

We are not a good side.

Malthouse, what are you doing next week?

 

[Noneedforaname]

Good sides don't bend over like this.

Did we have a say? We've been bent

 

[Off The Couch]

I'm really embarrassed by this display and there is nothing the full cup brigade can say that will change that.

Congrats to tigers - awesome display

Agree with everything mick said then and questions need to be asked of coach and players

 

[Messenger]

Well i think they were 3-5 before today, so i would say still not all that good. just good enough to beat teams that don't want it enough.

Like I said, they've turned a corner.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Back to the drawing board. At least we got 1 flag out of this group, won't be getting any more. But ... all those in denial will criticise what I've been saying all season.

 

[seysearles]

The "Buddy's developing place on the All-Time Ladder" thread certainly isn't what it used to be.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Like i have been saying all season, Richmond are quality team and they actually have the desire to go out and win games. Reminds me of the Hawks in 08.
