Game Day Round 22: vs Hawthorn @ Docklands (Sunday 4:40)

[Sunny_]

Dew and the rest of the team are doing Caleb absolutely no favours out there.

 

[Peel67skin]

I don't think midfield is the issue, players skills from defence mid to forward the issue. I doubt they train skill , just go surfing/ computer games after team training.

 

[Mini GF]

Too many key defenders out
Umpires unprofessional
Poor finishing by us early on
Wasn’t that bad
We are out of contention but they are
Chins up

Harbs has lost all of his handles. The end comes quick for some. Been a real stalwart for us but this is the first time I've seen him in this sort of form for such a period of time before.

I thought he done a pretty good job

 

[jackenny]

Turnovers killed us. Also, worst game I have seen from Dawson. Really disappointing from him.

 

[TheSunGod]

I thought he done a pretty good job

Me too. Thought he was one of our best today when we didn’t have many. Was having a go anyway.

GWS GIANTS 5.3 9.6 9.10 9.11 (65)
WESTERN BULLDOGS 7.1 9.3 14.9 19.12 (126)

Official crowd: 10,139 at Giants Stadium

Just imagine when GWS will not make finals. I believe it could happen soon actually. More players probably leaving.

Fair. Just not the player he was I guess. But again, that's normal for his age

It must be a worry for the power brokers at the AFL (not Gil, he’s clueless). Their good players leaving even when they’re contenders. If Coniglio goes it will be a big blow. I want the game to do well there but it could still be the AFL’s Vietnam.

 

[TheSunGod]

I think all our players are not the players they were at the moment.

 

[SandyToes]

Please do not let us consider Roughead or Burgoyne as players
Stick a fork in 'em they're done
If Thommo was playing today Roughead wouldn't have touched it
Burgoyne just getting cheapies playing on guys like Dawson Lemons and GHS
As Mr Bods said- they're in the 8 and we're last then daylight- that performance wasn't our worst by a longshot
A few straight kicks away from a decent score
Just imagine being GWS

 

[Jirik13]

Pretty amazed to find out that Suns absolutely dominated clearances 45 vs 30. It was just tough to watch players with absolutely no confidence, turning the ball over and over, not able to execute. I guess 17 losses in a row will do that to players.

Interestingly, Suns fielded I believe the oldest team of the season with average age 24yr 4mth. Yet, Hawks were more than 3 years older and had 13 players with 150+ games while Suns had 3.

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

Dows disposal is disgusting, you could put him in anyteam and he would still be horrific, Swallow, MacPherson, Fiorini, Lemmens, Miller are all bad by foot and would be anywhere

I'm positive Clayton didn't miss anyone who butchers the ball. I'm now sure he got the lot of them.
Keep turning the list over, thats all we can do now.

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

2nd year mid from Hawthorn (Worpel) running the game out strongly whilst our 3rd-4th year mids struggle to make it to 1/4 time.

 

[Mini GF]

Could easily have been 100+ today. I’m glad they did enough for that not to happen.
Now the AFL need to deliver on a comprehensive amount of picks, concessions etc to make up for the hopeless inequitable way they started us up.

 

[Iva Bigun]

The vic biased commentators make these floggings just that much harder to deal with

And no doubt not a single mention that Roughead was a priority pick I bet.

Apples and oranges. Helps running around with much more experienced players. Also helps not running defensively so much.

Exactly, I bet Suns run more meters than Hawks. We actually look ok regarding running this year.

Agree, I was in the rooms after the game and he looked totally checked out and dejected. Would not be surprised if he doesn’t go on.

He does look mentally totally spent.

He's contracted for another couple of seasons, so I hope he does.

 

[kreglze]

If he wanted to hang it up, I honestly wouldn't blame him.

 

[Mini GF]

I love how Roughead was a priority pick but the Hawthorn fans are squealing like self entitled babies about any suggestion we get one.

 

[Jirik13]

Dew mentioned one stat - point from turnovers - Suns were minus 51. Just terrible.
