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

[Sleutheren]

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

I do too, but I can't really remember any good games from him since he came back from those long(ish) term injuries.

Hopefully if he can string a few games together he'll start getting his touch back.
But you also need to consider how players gel with new gameplans with new teammates and maybe (likely), adjustments to their own roles. Hopefully we'll see the improvement as players become accustomed to be roles and teammates.

Tippas been on for 10 mins he's done more than half our side.
Biggest positive is we're finally gonna get access to the number 1 pick

 

[Hawk Vision]

Can someone send me times and dates of when Harley is playing this year thanks

 

[Flamin Joe]

Wingard injured?

Saving him for the finals.

 

[IdiotBox]

I understand that just for LOLs, * will bring on Matthew Lloyd for the last 5 minutes.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Fergal Sharkey out there with that sort of s**t.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Greene, a good VFL player

 

[hawkguru]

Tippa is shifting the earth as he runs

 

[LunchboxLegend]

FFS kick the goal

 

[westaussie76]

An out of shape barrell from a just kicked an easy set shot goal against us.

This game has completely shaken my expectation of this season. Was thinking 5-7 wins and some up and down form was realistic. Getting smashed by an unprofessional outfit likely to be in bottom 4 has left me soul searching a bit.

You're not alone

 

[hawker11]

Really not sure Green has it at this level

 

[hardway]

Bring the mouth guards to training!

 

[Wesley2]

Ahh unlucky Greene, just have a ping

Surely Scrimshaw offers more. Hard to believe he can't get a run in this team considering how poor our defence has looked today.

Harley Reid well and truly in play

 

[Hodgey 15]

Its round 1 - plenty of time for you to choose another team and * off out of here

Ignore has come in very handy for that poster. it's worked a treat for.me.

Again
You sometimes have to wonder what forwards get paid to do, if not to kick on goal

 

[OnWardnUpWard]

Can’t wait to see Harley Reid run out for us with number 23 on his back.

 

[SA HAWK]

Harley Reid well and truly in play

It is round 1.

 

[moginie]

That last kick into the 50 has just killed us.

Yes, I'm aware that there are other aspects, but delivery to the goal square has been sad to say the least.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Really not sure Green has it at this level

Small leading forwards generally struggle.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Bramble, good lord

 

[Sleutheren]

These blokes seem to have forgotten that opposition players will likely try to smother your kick.

 

[RX Hawk]

What a terrible show. We will have few 100 point losses this season if we continue like this. No structure up forward and not sure even the inclusion of Lewis would change much.

 

[JoeHawk]

Wingard injured?

And he was one of our better players….which doesn’t say much
