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

[Strapping Young Lad]

It would be nice if we could win the last quarter, but we seem to be losing more and more confidence as the game wears on.

 

[Sleutheren]

Show some goddamn backbone please

 

[OnTheRocks]

Really....you only see the s**t and not the good?

He wants us to "win the spoon", enough said.

 

[hawkguru]

How does a 120kg fat tippa get 10 metres of space? Lol

 

[Wingnut19]

I really rate Bramble. But as a winger, maybe half fwd. not sure why we’re persisting with him back ?

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Way to ******* show up

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Because Frost and Bramble were on him for both passages for play.

 

[MinerBoy]

lolza Heppell been an aerial presence up forward this Q. Our backline really having a dY

2 goals since QT is absolutely laughable.

 

[Kuuz]

As weird as it sounds, I'd still rather our position than Essendon's. I cannot see how they win in September with their list, and feel like they will be stuck in limbo like the Saints - a halfway house.

Could be proven wrong, but just think their list is a bit weird.

 

[LegendLewis]

Note to self...Moore is not a defender

 

[Jables]

Honestly I'm just surprised it took Essendon so long to realise we weren't exactly putting up much resistance whenever they had the ball.

This is a really bad effort, no way to spin it.

 

[SJT76]

We really need to work on when to play tight in the backline and when to zone off. Far too many easy marks inside 50 against us.

 

[OnTheRocks]

Don't think there is a lack of effort. There will be plenty more of these results after losing over 1000 games of experience in the off-season.

It would be nice if we could win the last quarter, but we seem to be losing more and more confidence as the game wears on.

Getting 6+ goal beatings will not be good for moral or learning for the young ones.

 

[smeltitdeltit]

Bald headed knobjockey holds up play for an injured bombers nowhere near play. He’s a deadset *******

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Are we the only team which doesn't get the keep it close frees?

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

I have a feeling there one more big clean out to come at years end.

 

[SA HAWK]

Wingers injured?

 

[grumbleguts]

Look I know Kosi was playing a bad game but he was still competing and taking an opposition tall. Now all our rushed kicks are going straight to the Essendon talls.

We'd have a better chance at a goal with it in their hands that Kosi's.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Our defensive structure is no good. They seem to constantly have so much space.

 

[Mercy Seat]

Wingard injured?

[Off The Couch]

Hmm
Thought it was the forward line
Maybe it’s the backline


Did see Chad double over after a brief run
Wonder what he has done

 

[Kuuz]

We look sluggish and dead on our legs, but I feel like its a product of how the game has been played.

For about 2 quarters we kicked into our forward line, ball never got locked in, and rebounded IMMEDIATELY back at us. Meant we basically ran out our legs forever in forward-to-back transitions. Reflected in the posession stats too, where we have just been chasing.

Our fitness quickly gets eaten up if we never get a chance to make our opposition work.

 

[kenneje]

Our defensive structure is no good. They seem to constantly have so much space.

Midfield getting absolutely destroyed both offensively and defensively. They’re waking the ball into the 50 making it very very hard for our defenders.
