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

[Mitchell Madness]

Fans starting to turn.
If we don't start seeing something soon, our crowds will be less than gc

What’s going on with Newcombe?? Is he playing injured

 

[Cleavy]

at least we can’t do much worse? Right? Please?!

 

[Simon Crawshay]

I don't mind losing to Melbourne at this stage of our development but geez we could at least have a crack at playing attacking footy.

1 point kicking with the wind is smegging awful.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Clearly instructed to never kick it long inside 50.

Ugly to watch though. This one might get out of hand.

Newcombe really off again.

This is disgusting.
53 marks to 22. To us.
Our plan of denying Melbourne’s midfield the ball, numbers in defence and chipping around the backline has been picked apart when Melbourne get the ball. We have no one to kick to with all these numbers behind the ball. They just race through when we turn it over.
Time for a plan B.

 

[A1fromDay1]

11 clearances to 1
23 tackles to 7

The softest quarter of footy you'll ever see

 

[VandoHawk]

Melbourne are winning the contested ball and have tripled our tackles. Mids have been atrocious. Our half backs have been good but struggling to break through a mature Melbourne defensive unit.

Newc, Nash, Worps all being given a bath.

 

[madhawksfan]

Woeful, weak and wayward. So disappointing that we aren’t even willing to back ourselves in. May and Lever are not that good that we shouldn’t be kicking it to our forwards.

Midfield absolutely getting a bath. King’s prediction looking pretty good.

Amon should not be playing in defence.

If we have any pride we will lift.

 

[hawkman]

Pathetic effort

Umpires also don't know the rules letting Melbourne flood back from that free in the middle

 

[Glenhope]

Watson really rushed that kick for goal.

Hopefully once he gets his first one he will settle into a proper routine kicking for goal.

Still wizardless.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Frenchie not able to get around Gawn was interesting..

Yep.

 

[natio]

Its got nothing to do with game plan, or Melbourne's defence. Same story as last week. Losing at the coalface. Midfield clearances.

This is the full story of the first quarter.

 

[peetoo]

I think we need a bit of enforcement here

 

[Adebisi]

How did the Wiz look that quarter?

Team needs a rocket. Where is the aggressive and hard running hawks from last year. Move the the ball fast, with handballs ffs.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

David king’s outlandish prediction not so outlandish now…

What a shitshow

He must have been sitting in on team meetings during the week

 

[LunchboxLegend]

That was gross.

 

[westhawk]

Timid and appear confused with the plan. Eep.

There is no game plan. The only thing this is good for, is all the Hawks players in my multi for possessions.

Newk is completely down on last season form. So odd.

He was killing it in pre-season, so not sure what's going on.

 

[Yardie]

I could handle this scoreline if we were attacking and going for it

I had to walk a long way for this. It's going by to seem a lot longer on the way home at this rate. Crowd are getting pretty impatient where I am.

I currently have him as my afl fantasy captain… I backed him in for a big year

100 pts here. This is horrific.
