My thoughts precisely!Ideal game for mine. Showed we could have won but didn’t. I want the early draft picks!
Really? No I said Draper had 9 clearances, not your mids. Your ruckman. He provided the dominance.
For mine, JOM was the dominant midfielder on the ground. Mitchell had 14 in the 2nd quarter too.
Your mids were off. Draper got you over the line. Just.
We actually had a few more if you want to be technical about it.
Draper was smashing us and you guys were dangerous out of the middle.
But its hypothetical to say if we kicked another few goals instead of behinds that you guys just would have responded out of clearance.
The cleaner better team won on the day .
Cash injection?We would have made a killing off the back of all those scum today...
Can you read English???!!!Does a ruckman not play in the midfield?
What about Stringer? He was in just about every centre bounce and was clearly the best player on the ground.
Parish and Merrett may have seemed “off” as they didn’t have the large numbers of previous weeks but still quite effective, Parish still had equal the amount of clearances Mitchell and O’Meara.
Essendon clearly won the midfield battle, pretty much every Hawthorn post I’ve seen on here is saying it also, except you.
fu** Tasmania right off
Clearance work, accuracy in front of goal and Stringer proved to be the difference.
Mitchell, JOM, Bruest and Kozzie can hold heads up pretty high.
I'm a ex tasmania ,I was absolutely disgusted in the following of the Hawks yesterday,it was appalling...
It was 24 shot each.
Agree not sure how people can defend his ruckwork. He would have to be the worst at tapping the ball to advantage.His ruck work was poor. He got dominated in the middle, Draper was giving them clean service out of the middle and was then also following up on the ground.
And Finn MaginnessIt’s funny that as frustrating as it is watching us completely fail in the middle most weeks I’m pretty excited about what this side is going to be doing in 12 months time when you look at what is sitting in the stands and/or challenging for spots at Box Hill, and that we’ll add Pick 2 at a minimum.
Sic, Gunners, DGB, Reeves, Saunders, Jeka, Downie, Kent....if they’re all fit and firing in 2022 in addition to what’s already out there, we’re going to be very fun to watch.
Blind Freddy could see we were undersized in the backline on Friday when the teams were announced.
Seriously, how could the games greatest coach not see this.....or did he?
One thing is for sure, if DGB is as good as we hope, the ground work done on our backline in 2021 will set the Hawks up for years to come.
Stringer absolutely destroyed us.
That Jones is a freak.
Draper BOG. That was the ball game.
Jai was overawed.
Shaun is done.
Thought Mitchell fought hard.
Breust fantastic but should've kicked the last one.
Impay, Scrim, CJ were awesome all day.
Fingers crossed for CJ. Was it a hammy???
Yes I'm not worried about the backline. We kick those 4 very gettable ones and we win.Hawthorn have under Clarkson been okay with going into a game with an undersized defence and backed the structure in to get the victory. Didn't happen yesterday. It isn't the first time Hawthorn has sacrificed height in the backline for an advantage elsewhere on the ground (which didn't materialise as Clarkson would have wanted). Won't stop the Hawks doing the same again if the strategy calls for it.

yep...he was Putrid with a capital P!!It didn’t take long for the old Ceglar to return.
It was 24 shot each.
We are 17th with a percentage under 80. We’re a lot further away than you make out.It’s funny that as frustrating as it is watching us completely fail in the middle most weeks I’m pretty excited about what this side is going to be doing in 12 months time when you look at what is sitting in the stands and/or challenging for spots at Box Hill, and that we’ll add Pick 2 at a minimum.

I was concerned he'd tear it all game the way he was poking at it. Probably should have been subbed out early.CJ was grabbing at the hammy at qtr time.
