Game Day Round 8, 2021: Hawks v Eagles, Sunday 9th May @ 1:10pm

[Brishawk]

So we are down by 38 playing a game style that is supposed too prevent a thrashing.

wonder what would happen if we took the game on?

You can keep repeating this but the reality is we are not trying to play to save games. We just aren’t very good.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Staring at a 10+ goal loss now. 43 points behind after 23 minutes in the third quarter. Defence showing a lot of cracks now.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Havent seen a Hawthorn team this bereft of confidence in years. Look scared to do anything

 

[Cleavy]

Not good enough to win contests one on one and zone gets picked apart. Hard to see any improvement

 

[Bardo State]

Jekkas been on 2 disposals for almost 3 quarters

Has also been taken out of the contest quite easily

 

[macdaddio]

Woeful, Shiels. Utterly woeful from a leader of the team. Been a great servant of the club but that was never on.

Who are our leaders?

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

Fire the person that thought Frost is AFL standard.

 

[Bardo State]

Mitchell is still a top 10 mid in a good team. His game just relies on the guys around him more than most inside mids.

Game plan is rubbish. We're getting pummelled by the West Coast B team who are flakey when they travel. Time's up Clarko.

 

[theiaofseed]

Hanrahan keeps ignoring options, gets greedy around goal too often.

What were your expectations?

 

[Lickmesocks]

People that are talking about the Eagles have a look at the outs for them.

All of them would be in our top 10

 

[satan1]

Got them right where we want them.
Powerful finish awaits.

Don't be a sore loser.

Got to give the hands hanrahan. Worps can straighten and kick it versus a hack kick off the left. It’s the simple things we are also struggling to do

 

[SA HAWK]

Hardwick having a stinker today.

 

[brew]

Hardwick has turned into an average footballer

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

like to see scrim getting some midfield time

 

[Adebisi]

I just realised half way through this quarter that dylan moore is playing...was he not dropped?

They have a top 4 list. Dig up.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Not even cold beer can dull this pain.
We have so many issues, I’am not even sure where to begin..
how long till cricket season starts

 

[Dixie Flatline]

A mark on a lead by a forward. Well I never.

True but to be fair, we are missing 3 of our top 5 in Sicily Gunston and O’Meara. And that’s with a rubbish list with no depth so the outs result in really ordinary replacements. Good sides can cover outs, bad sides can’t . It’s one of the differences

 

[Off The Couch]

It’s interesting listening to the commentary about the pressure on the Eagles because of their outs - still a team with the two best forwards in the league and a midfield still loaded with talent despite their outs

And they are playing 17th who have not played well at all rather than say the tigers

I’m shocked that the thinking was they would struggle against this hawks team and all of a sudden in the third we are talking “cream rises to the top” - they should of destroyed us from the opening bounce

 

[SA HAWK]

Lewis having a decent game.
