Game Day Round 5: Sydney v Hawthorn

[Tippett2Goal]

Our forward delivery is terrible at the moment, going to get absolutely smashed if this keeps up.


Isn't being helped by the lack of work by our forwards though.

 

[AG]

Missing White tbh, our forward line is getting smashed.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

How was that holding the ball against Bolton? I really hate those kind of decisions.

 

[Swansujelly]

too many long bombs straight to their players.

 

[RUNVS]

We knew we had a shithouse forward line and the Hawks are really exposing it in ways that other teams haven't.

 

[lock33]

need to go one on one, stop the spread stop the extra man

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Finally, we hit a target inside 50.

 

[Ed_Gein]

Game over.

 

[Swansujelly]

Missing White tbh, our forward line is getting smashed.

agreed. If he was in LRT go go down back

 

[AG]

Loose Hawk in our forward line is killing us. Everitt, Seaby, Reid, Goodes and LRT are doing sfa in the forward line at the moment. It's O'Keefe or bust at the moment.

I thought that was fair enough, Bolts didn't make an attempt and Hale I think already got pinged for that. Can't really complain about umpiring thought we got a pretty good deal.

 

[Theprofessional]

The problem is, they have Roughead/Franklin/Hale up front so we need to double team them otherwise our backs can be exposed.


Up front, we have far less potency than them, so their backs are doing it easily. We need 1-1 in back/forward to have a chance at winning.

 

[Tippett2Goal]

Whilst it worked that time, disappointed with the whole bombing it long into forward line

Reid needs to lead and demand the ball

Is looking very similar to the first half of our last game against the hawks tbh.

 

[legend166]

You know what would be nice? Hitting a forward on the lead for once. That mark from O'Keefe was good, but we'll lose if that's what we keep doing.

We'd have to be the team with the least amount of uncontested marks I50 in the league.

 

[Swansujelly]

.yeah, let bishop go man!

 

[Danair]

Everitt should start packing warm because he's going to be spending alot of time around Canberra.

 

[Dangas]

Just like the semi final

 

[swans4eva]

I can't see us making top four with this forward line. No leading up to targets, always minimal space to work with. We're not playing too poorly, Hawks are just a class above. Good fighting from O'Keefe to kick two

 

[RUNVS]

We'd have to be the team with the least amount of uncontested marks I50 in the league.

Some people say that is a good thing but i think it is a very bad thing as it shows that our players don't work hard enough to find space.

 

[winga26]

Loose man in their defence has made it nearly impossible for our forwards if we can man them up and make it a 1 on 1 we should be a lot better positioned at least that should allow us to bring it to ground if we don't get a mark.

 

[SM]

Frawley summed it up: one of our half forwards is being lazy and letting them have a loose man.

*Cough*Everitt*Cough*

Grundy is hopeless today, hopefully THIS time I won't get bashed for saying that.

 

[Ed_Gein]

.yeah, let bishop go man!

can't help but not think of pvt hudson whenever i hear the line "game over" pop up somewhere. he is quality.

 

[Swansujelly]

once they get the ball at half back, their hands are killing us. The long speculatives are helping their cause. Their goals came from HB. Missing Rohans pressure? We also need to be cleaner. Too mant HP and kicks mising targets, we looked rushed every time we get the ball, credit to Hawthorns pressure tho.

 

[vonn]

It's not over until Grimlock sings guys.

 

[grimlock]

Everitt and Reid have to be decoy forwards and clear the space for Reid to go one out against Schoenmakers

But the problems are stemming from the midfield where we are getting smashed. They're sitting on Jpk and there's no other player stepping up in his stead. Seems preoccupied chasing the man rather than the ball
