Game Day Round 5 2019: Hawks v Cats, 3:20pm @MCG

[MC_9]

Our defence is so poor. Missing Frawely and Stratton badly.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Why is Nash in the side?.

Apperently for his defensive efforts in the forward half...... Not sure how that works when you manage a grand total of 0 possessions and 1 tackle in a half of football. Bewildering.

 

[Kuuz]

That was some of the worst team defence we've played for a while. In this day and age, you cannot let people marked uncontested when everyone is back. Just awful, awful play. Players are not running out the quarter.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Think of the draft pick kids. Think of the draft pick

 

[Viddiot]

aaaannnddd....2 shots at goal in the last minute of a quarter to the opposition.

We're right in this...we should go to the huddle in the last minute of the third and have a little more rest?

 

[Gaston]

We can't win this game with Gunston down back. It is killing us forward.
Nash is being dictated to by Taylor (bloody hopeless).
With Cousins barely near it we are effectively down a midfielder.

 

[Jables]

We play one man down with bloody roughhead every week. More cooked than a servo pie. GET RID OF HIM

Get a clue

 

[Since 2001]

DROP NASH, KEEP LEWIS

 

[Hawk_francais]

Actually pretty good half from our boys. Defence has no answers though, we are at their mercy when they go inside 50.

I think back to that Hawks fan on here who called for Stratton to be dropped, because he wasn't adding anything to the team. Hope you're enjoying.

GGF idiot!

 

[cyrilicious]

another s**t outing from umps. seriously at least be ******* consistent

 

[MadDawg]

I wish we'd send in low tumble balls into the F50 instead of high bombs - like Port did to WC the other night.

Our big strength is our small forwards but the tall Geelong backline is getting what they want.

 

[burnside5]

Tackle!
Tackle!
Tackle!

Not that hard

I am sorry but now it is time for Nash to go back to Box Hill and not writing him off but he is there for great tackling pressure and running but obviously needs more time to develop. However with so many injuries who replaces him.

 

[PoopingHindi]

Cousins having a stinker.
Nash as useful as he always is.
otherwise i think we're doing ok.

i like the look of Lewis.

Not sure what he has in Clarkson because he has been gifted games all season. It's bordering on nepotism.

Far cough.

Troll.

[mickmaster]

Lewis should play every game for the rest of the year. How Nash is getting a gig b4 him is bewildering.

 

[hodgeysleftfoot]

Morrison 2 possessions for a half
Nash on zero
Time to go I think

 

[Baz_hawk]

Breust needs to lift, defensively he has been very lazy. Smith likewise. Nash has been useless and offered us nothing. Late in each quarter we just look tired, we don't kill the high ball and we don't work hard defensively. Have made some Geelong players look way better than they are with some lazy workrate.

I think our defence has been good. It is Geelong mids streaming off the wing with no pressure after winning contests that is killing us.

 

[The Kipster]

*ing putrid ends to our quarters, frustrating as fk....

 

[Far Cough]

Low lying fruit mate.

Smith, Bruest and Gunston have been nowhere. I tell you what, that's costing us more mate.

Same as usual against geelong

 

[Viddiot]

Dermie saying just that now, MadDawg

 

[Mrzohs]

Its hard to put a finger on it but i would say its Our bottem 6 that is crucify us.
Our best has been better than Geelong best, but Our worst is alot worse.

Ie Nash 0 touches Morrison 2 is crazy. Mirra skill errors and lack of match awareness kills us.

Good signs are Lewis and brand.
Playing gunston at half back is far to negative for mine.

 

[Hawks1994]

Jesus. Ever heard of a tackle? They are literally waltzing through groups of players

It's that last 5 minutes of the quarter that kills us

On a bright note. Mitch Lewis is a star in the making. The contest and then clever tap for Smith to goal had class written all over it
