Game Day Round 4, 2023: Geelong v Hawthorn, MCG 3:20pm Easter Monday

[JoeHawk]

What complete utter BS

 

[Wesley2]

Reeves has taken 3 marks in 4 games let that one sink in

And it was this game last year he was killing it. until he got injured around quarter time.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

I’ll say it again, we get nothing around the ground or forward from Meek or Reeves.

Have a look at the teams that win flags. It’s more important to be competitive around the ground. I really don’t care about a centre bounce, it’s such a minuscule part of the game.

I said we had the worst ruck combo in the leauge this week and copped some flak.

Today hasn't really changed my mind even though Meek was better in the first half.

Reeves in particular offers absolutely nothing around the ground. It's like watching a less talented Justin Madden.

 

[Sleutheren]

I have a need to see Henry get smashed.

Hopefully Sammy drags the on field umpires into the post game huddle, so they catch the spray as well.

They need a good spray after this rubbish officiating today. HTB can actually be paid against those in white and blue.

 

[Billyc]

Hence the inexperienced call...

It’s a major factor of course. But it’s not the only thing that contributes to poor performances

 

[HeHateMe]

Hodge is right experience players know how to work back into it. We are still figuring it out.

 

[CHUBBSS]

That was classic then, day goes to contest and they get the tap to a free cat (danger). Seems when the pressure comes back out first thought is to run at the ball instead of holding our game plan.

We still need some senior bodies, cats overpowered us in the middle when the heat is on, Nash getting hurt played a hand to

 

[CobberRodgers]

Meek showed plenty of promising signs in the first half. Worth persevering with.

I’m happy to persevere. Just want people to stop judging our talls on their ability to tap the ball out of the air

 

[JoeHawk]

God I hate Geelong

 

[Sleutheren]

Holy Christ. How is that not a mark to Meek?

 

[hawkguru]

But he wins taps or something

Lol rather have Nash ruck

 

[Kuuz]

I have a need to see Henry get smashed.

Kid is a high grade git. Suits Geelong well.

Still, just cast your mind back to Moore who absolutely decked him weeks ago

 

[Max Powers]

Garry Junk Time Rohan!

 

[RhinotheFC]

Putrid.

It’s not good when you have zero confidence in your talls being able to mark the ball, even uncontested

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Which is worst our performance in the 2nd half or blatant umpiring cheating

 

[Sleutheren]

This is based on essentially nothing, but he just strikes me as an entitled tossbag.

 

[Mercy Seat]

And it was this game last year he was killing it. until he got injured around quarter time.

I’m pretty over hearing about that one quarter he played a year ago tbh

 

[SA HAWK]

2 rubbish kickouts from Hardwick in 1 minute.

 

[Kuuz]

Also will say, has not helped us that we have squandered several score chances today, particularly in the first half.

Can’t afford that against experienced sides and particularly where we have a poor forward line

 

[Max Powers]

[PenAndPaper]

It’s a major factor of course. But it’s not the only thing that contributes to poor performances

It's not like it's whole games of poor form, a quarter of lapses where we aren't able to stop a run is exactly what happens with inexperience.

Our gameplan has had us in control against the reigning premiers for a half.

 

[VandoHawk]

The composure of our backline really goes to s**t
