Tomahawk - One of the great last quarter efforts

[Elite Master]

Hawkins and Selwood were the ones that kept Geelong in it, both have been big time players for a long time and will continue to be. Hawkins however is the more likeable guy.

Taylor's ability as a forward is a myth. He is a brilliant key back, and that's where he'll stay

Spot on. He's kicked a bag or two against lesser teams like GWS and the media believe he's a 50+ goal forward. He's an AA CHB, and that's where he is going to play.

 

[ApplecrossWC]

What are wrong with his eyes? Does he have a condition?

 

[barmy44]

Matthew Pavlich finals stats: averages 15 disposals, 3 goals and 2 contested marks per game. Kicked 3 or more goals in 6 of his 12 appearances. Probably one of the best going around. Do you remember the 2012 elimination final?

Yep, he backed it up the following week with 6 kicks, 4 handballs and a goal in a 10 point loss with 93% game time.

I remember the '13 GF. His lack of composure, including not getting the journey from about 30m in the second quarter, imo, went a long way to costing his team a flag. He wasn't on his own, but as captain, he was poor.

He had a big hand in getting them back into it in the 2nd half, which you'll no doubt bring up but the damage was done in the first half and he failed to stand up and lead his team.[/QUOTE]

Hawkins was the dominant player in the last quarter but it was hardly "one of the great last quarter efforts".

 

[Tas]

Hawkins was unstoppable, but I thought Brad Scott should have had an extra man down there to stand in front of Hawkins. Said the same thing to my mrs while watching last night. Hawkins was always going to be the one that could hurt them. In the last quarter in particular, when protecting a lead they needed to make sure he didn't get one on one's. Neither Grima or Thompson were strong enough to outbody him. They needed help but got none.
Huge performance from Hawkins all the same.

We really missed Hansen last night, most of our other defenders got sucked out of position following forward who had barely touched the ball in four quarters of footy.

With a bit of luck he will be fit to play next week, will be critical being out in front of Buddy.

So in other words he backed it up with a regular Hawkins finals outing. Certainly he could have done better in the GF, but at the end of the day he was the second best forward on the ground for a side who gave poor delivery all day.

 

[The 747]

Ah Freo supporters, such haters.

Tommy was great last night but would have preferred he played like that last week.

Maybe, maybe not. Still to be fully tested.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Can't stand the bloke and the high fend off's and "handballs" shit me to tears but the guy absolutely monstered us in that last quarter.

Absolutely tore the game apart.

The thing I liked was every time he did something he tore strips off his team mates verbally afterward trying to show them it wasn't over yet.

What is your definition of a 'great last quarter effort'? Perhaps if he 'shape shifts' next time?

It was a good effort, no doubt. But is it one of the best ever? I don't think so.

Best from our mob was Petrie kicking 5 in 20 min against Richmond in the last in 2012 to win it for us.

Agreed. A quick look at some stats is rather illuminating.

Half of Junktime Jack Riewoldts goals come when either the match is over (easy Tigers win or big Tigers loss), or v shit teams that he can beat up on (i.e. 11 v GWS with no Davis, Mohr, Haynes, Frost..)

Best from our mob was Petrie kicking 5 in 20 min against Richmond in the last in 2012 to win it for us.

While that was a big game to decide the finals match-up, Hawkins was is in a final. And was in the poorer team for the night - whereas North were a better team than Richmond in that backhalf of 2012.

 

[WowWeee]

hawkins performance reminded me of the good ol performance by Benny Brown against bombers

Hawkins was better, because he absolutely monstered a top 6 team in the space of 10 minutes. Was just making a point to Enigmal.

Looks like it.

Pretty keen to see this helmet they're on about...

Nobody remembers great performances in losing games will be forgotten about in a couple of years

Lucjliky they will get to remember the last quarter of the 2011 GF against your team!
