Game Day Round 2, 2024: Hawthorn v Melbourne, MCG 4.35pm

[Franko Armani]

Apart from Worpel , no one has fired a shot for the brown and gold all day.

 

[Cleavy]

Fritsch going to outscore us?

 

[Slysh]

This is just so disappointing.

Mids just given up completely now. They have been absolutely thumped two weeks in a row. Changes definitely needed in that department - bring down the Huss

The effort has been pathetic from the midfield group, obviously won't happen but you could make a case that all of Reevesn, Finn, Nash, Newc, Ward and maybe Mackenzie have earned a week in the 2's.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Poor Sicily, that's a hard bump

 

[A1fromDay1]

Bailey f'n fritsch taking the piss outta Sicily

Let it sink in

 

[Judd2Sewell]

FFS. MacDonald caught lacking twice in the middle there.

 

[phlogiston]

A dreadful 5 minutes. Really need to fix out centre clearances

 

[Tuck In]

Centre bounce, goal, rinse, repeat.

 

[Flamin Joe]

We''ll get thumped by 100 at this rate.

Sorry, 150.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Sicily with another hopeless game in defence. He cannot be isolated like he is. We desperately need to sort that out

 

[RoughysMullet]

Can’t stand Frisch’s head

 

[Wingnut19]

Then again Nash and Finn wouldn’t be in team if I was a selector

100%. Neither are natural footballers. Move on from them

 

[SSSSSS]

Newcombe playing like he wants to be at Box Hill again.

 

[jerry_atrick]

Now they're playing with us

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

If our midfield is not changed up next week against the cats our coaches need to open their eyes.

I'd argue Frenchie has actually worked hard today - his Q2 was bloody good, but was quiet in Q3.

Rest though should be better based on games played. Not hard enough and not doing any defensive work. Dees are just walking the ball out of the middle with zero contest.

EDIT: Thank christ also for Worps - he's been the only real mid whos working his backside off & getting things done.

Might aswell just try playing Phillips and freeing him up

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Another extremely frustrating day.

Keep pumping games into these kids.

Chol, Weddle, mass, worpel, Nash solid. Ginni and watson dangerous.

Newc, Mackenzie abd MacDonald can all be better not too worried about them.

I think bruest might be cooked. Gunston too.

If Nash is solid today we are in real trouble

 

[cuttlefish]

I wouldn't be surprised if Mitchell has stepped into a hole with his coaching. Time to crack heads, Sam. We're soft as butter.

 

[HedgeFund]

Genuinely embarrassing for Sicily.

He's great when he doesn’t have an opponent.

Now Fritsch - a guy shorter and lighter is completely pulling his pants down.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Our whole coaching group needs to have a long hard look at themselves. We look clueless.

 

[earthworms]

We would have better chances at hitting a target if everybody wore blindfolds

 

[Kuuz]

Surely Newk is running sore or something. He got close to 40 odd touches in one of the pre-season matches.

Two weeks in a row and very unlike him.
