Game Day Round 1, 2023: Hawthorn v Essendon, MCG 3.20pm

[H00t]

1 qtr showed how good we can play. The rest of the game how bad we can play.

That will be how this year goes. It’s just about bridging that gap between our best and our worst.

We will know we are improving when we play at our best more consistently.

 

[Philhawk]

At this point it’s about the positives

• Great start by Worps
• Frenchie has been great
• Amon has had his moments

At this stage, might as well get DGB in next week and get some games into Weddle

 

[moginie]

Any chance we can keep our feet? Going to ground is an easy out.

3 games in three days on new laid turf ain't enough for you?

Turn it up.

Not sure getting younger is the answer

 

[Wesley2]

Day is trying to straighten the ship, positive signs

 

[Dewnior]

Why is Finn making the kick inside 50???

 

[Max Powers]

Onya Punky

 

[smeltitdeltit]

Bombers just run through the protected zone. Should be a shot from 10m. Nothing. These umps need to be sacked

 

[SA HAWK]

I haven't felt this bad about a loss in a long time.

Last year v * was worse

 

[Kuuz]

PUNKY! Good to get one back. If we could win the quarter - that would be a great positive.

 

[Kanga Commando]

We found any positives from this game apart from Cameron McKenzie. 1/4 to find some hope.

Worpel better than last year

 

[Flamin Joe]

Oh so that's what happens when you kick a goal. Man its been a while.

 

[Philhawk]

Not sure getting younger is the answer

It’s going to be a long year either way and we are on a journey.

If we are going to get to our destination, both DGB and Weddle will need games into them.

 

[Off The Couch]

The comeback is on

 

[moginie]

Last year v * was worse

The loss in 2020 was worse again.

 

[HedgeFund]

Low Nash kick to Hardwick presenting in a leading lane.

Sees Breust out the back and another low chisel AWAY from the Bombers defenders.

Good footy

 

[LegendLewis]

First quarter means nothing. Look at the score now, and take into account the context of the game - players missing and underdone, etc. We have been putrid.

Really....you only see the shit and not the good?

 

[Max Powers]

Dimma

 

[HedgeFund]

Hardwick playing as a small FF.

Don’t mind that.

See above.

 

[VandoHawk]

Dimma some spark up forward

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Anyone who had bramble over scrimshaw should be ashamed including sam

I'm still shaking my head over that one.

There is no reality in the entire Multiverse where you would ever pick Bramble ahead of Scrimshaw to play in your side.

Baffling decision TBH.

 

[kenneje]

I’m so fickle hahaha, two goals and I genuinely believe we’re right back in this.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Dare to dream

 

[Slysh]

It’s going to be a long year either way and we are on a journey.

If we are going to get to our destination, both DGB and Weddle will need games into them.

They will get opportunities throughout the year, a high draft pick playing down back in a bad team is asking for trouble if he isn’t ready. Currently I don’t think he is

 

[SJT76]

Wish Nash could take a mark as his size deserves - he’d be an absolute weapon
