My first review thread in the new format. Come on guys, help me beat ZoBlitz's recent totals!

This is 200% more posts then this thread usually has until after the game, so I'm off to a flier!

 

[BuntonRules]

GWS beat Carlton by more.

 

[ColdWarWarrior]

Another disgraceful effort, Apart from Rockliffe and Robinson the team didn't give a yelp.

Not losing by 120 when you're at the bottom of the ladder and playing Hawthorn in Tassie is a positive, sad as it sounds.
That Roughead goal from the pocket + the one where Sicily kicked into the man on the mark and it bounced straight to Cyril were ridiculous. So frustrating. I though we did reasonably well in not giving them too many easy goals, but they just pulled goals out of nowhere anyway.

 

[Dom PC]

Hanley looks to be running on fumes. Hope he gets a full run at 2016. He's worth 2-4 wins a season when fully fit IMO.

 

[Nunez]

The effort was there. In the end it was last vs the best. A team with over double our experience. Love playing the hawks as they're a team we can learn from. Really want to play them at the Gabba again.

Ridiculous 2nd quarter by the Hawks. They couldn't miss. Everything went in.
Harris Andrews didn't have a good game unfortuanetely. Bound to happen tho being a 1st year KPP.
Once again Robinson and Rocky are our leading tackling guys. Nothing new there.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Christensen and Robinson continue to prove what great pick-ups they were.

Rocky showing he still has his AA form ready to go for next year and Martin is still a borderline AA ruckman.

Beasley & Evans showing some signs but clearly out of their depth at this stage, Adcock got 2 goals but only 4 touches shows that the club is right to consider not giving him a contract.

Rich needs to get surgery in the off-season to back to his best, McGuane has won himself a 1 year contract and Green found a little bit of form for a poor year form him.

Paparone had a bad game but still found the ball 19 times, needs to have a rest and come back better for next year.

Mayes, Taylor & Cutler were fringe at best, okay but nothing special to make their mark.

Really we got thrashed in one quarter. 12 players aged 21 years or under, let's put things into perspective. We had a crack, can't expect much more when your team is full of kids.

 

[alscotoz2]

Someone mentioned that it doesn't sound right to lose by 12 goals and not be too fazed by it. I'm in that camp. Hawks in Tassie is a huge task at the best of times...

 

[Judge]

I'd give our guys 5.5/10 today, effort was a bit patchy but mostly OK.

Execution on the other hand....I long for the day when we don't have to rely on manic handballing to break the lines.

Fortunately only another week to go, the off-season has to be more fun than this.

 

[ColdWarWarrior]

I liked Dawsons game, came on as a sub but looked useful.

 

[Skoob]

4 people in the Hawks fwd 50 as the ball came in at one point. 3 Hawks, and Merrett.
How's that for some ******* "zoning".

Edit: It was actually 4 Hawks and Merrett.

See I rate Cutler just don't think he's been able to get a decent run, he would be up there in my top candidates for most improved next yeara

That was probably because a lot of our players weren't rushing back like they should have. I know a few culprits who didn't run hard enough defensively.

Yeah but that was a constant problem for us. At times we looked like a junior football team, everyone would pile in on the stoppages with no one staying out as a reciever, the Hawks on the other hand are a far better drilled team and had recievers waiting for the clearance, too many times we were clobbered when Hawthorne won the clearance.

 

[kylegee28]

10 less tackles and 50 less disposals is never a good thing

 

[Magician]

Your right, Rocky was a bit lazy in that regard. Should have led from the front and had 24 tackles and 95 disposals

Can't agree about Cutler - he was on Rioli all day and kept him fairly quiet, whilst also doing a few nice things himself.

Was solid defensively on Betts last week as well. His run off half back should still be his focus but it's good to see his defence has improved.

 

[ColdWarWarrior]

IMO it was the inept disposal from our blokes that started the rot in the 2nd Qtr, a few soft turn overs and a bit of scoreboard pressure and we went into our shell for most of the Qtr and the Hawks fully capitalised as you would expect.

I had Cutler in my best.

Cyril got one fluke pinball goal and flashed into the game once or twice,

Good job by Cutts

 

[Lace Out]

Cutler was good though Rioli is the most over rated footballer in the competition
