Review Dogs overcome first quarter blues to beat Hawks 125-83

[goodcop badcop]

Worth noting that Reeves also had a career best game according to the rating points. Sweet got better as the game went on, but we're clearly a much, much better team with English in it maybe wouldn't be fully against the idea of Schachr first rucking next week

Hi Bevo

I think we should still play at least one genuine ruck.

Well done on the win tonight.

 

[Testekill]

Man what the * was Sicily thinking when he gave West his second goal? He just dropped West when he wasn't even in the contest.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Woof!

Did richards get about 30 touches before going off? He was bog for us 1st quarter

Wouldn’t have taken much to be our best 1st quarter player.

 

[Astro_]

Did Keith hit more than 1 target by hand or foot tonight? Was terrible.

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

Just watching the highlights after getting home from the game. Weightman is such a legend. Got absolutely wiped out a minute into the 3rd and bounced back up like a rubber ball. The way that kid plays the game is a joy to behold.

Free Kick Summary

Just watching the highlights after getting home from the game. Weightman is such a legend. Got absolutely wiped out a minute into the 3rd and bounced back up like a rubber ball. The way that kid plays the game is a joy to behold.

pretty sure Cody is made of rubber, bless him

 

[TheBont]

Can we talk about naughton being 3rd on the Coleman ladder?

 

[Martyn_30_]

It was a strange game where they did so many things poorly yet won by 7 goals. The first quarter was clearly the worst of the season and the last quarter was the worst the backline has been all year. It shows what the side can do when they win contests and close up the space in the corridor.

West has jumped many players in the last two weeks, smaller forwards that can win one on ones are rare.

Schache clearly makes the team better, how Cordy spent so much time forward this year ahead of him is very confusing.

I don’t think Ugle Hagen is in the best 22, but he showed with his reach what he’ll become when he’s physically ready.

If Sicily’s a leader at your club you’re not going to go to far, it’s the sort of nonsense you’d expect from a low iq forward pocket agitator.

[Golden_6]

Amazing what happens when you actually pick forwards in the forward line and pick a balanced structured attack. The last two weeks are the blueprint for our structure. It simply must not change.

Defence is an absolute shambles at times though.

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

I really like Schache and I’m delighted he’s played well tonight…but let’s not act like he hasn’t been given chances. If he’d shown anything like tonight’s form previously, he would be in the 22.

 

[Some Idiot]

Libba best on ground, dragged us back into the game. Great performance from West and it was good to see the three talls work pretty well in tandem.

 

[Leon]

I actually didn’t think we were bad per se in the first quarter, Hawthorn came out firing and we got caught out a few times.

We turned things around on the back of Libba, Bont, Dunkley and Macrae - and West, far out. He keeps getting better and better by the week doesn’t he.

Jamarra’s contested marking tonight was fantastic, he just needs to get his kicking right.

On Sicily for Hawthorn, how much of a nightmare would be for a coach.

Clearly very talented, but just an absolute nut case with a short fuse.

Remember that game in 2019 when we came from behind and beat them? Gave us 2 goals in the last by being completely ill disciplined - one was pretty soft but technically there (to Schache to put us in front) and then to Gowers - plus a 50m penalty for going off his nut at the umpire.

The guy just never learns.

Great game that one

 

[doggiesin08]

Interesting to see us line up at some points in the 4th with Naughty, JUH, Schache and O’Brien all in the forward line. Not sure what the thinking was there.

 

[Some Idiot]

I thought Croz was good other than his mistake against Breust. His aerial game is still an asset even if his disposal is not as good as in the past.

 

[dogwatch]

Richards was awesome before going off. Very weird quirk in our Great game that the head is protected at all possibilities, other than in a marking contest where it’s celebrated if the forward can slam a knee in to the back of the defenders scone.

Anywhere else on the field, that’s a free kick. Seems like a strange inconsistency that needs to be phased out if we are to take concussion seriously.

But one of our worst concussions last year was a friendly fire incident (Astro's knee on English at Manuka). How do you police that? Give a free to GWS?

 

[dogwatch]

Don’t get the bad reviews for Crozier. He had one sensational brain fade but other than that he was fine.

And perhaps understandable given the faster pace of the game at senior level. He hasn't played seniors for ages.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

My wife used to teach James Blanck, he was a Doggies fan as a kid. Such a shame we didn't use the midseason draft to add a tall defender to our list. Good luck to him though, looked pretty decent on debut.

Sicily was a Dogs fan too. Can play but we don't need maniacs like that. Bullet dodged.

 

[yebiga]

Man what the * was Sicily thinking when he gave West his second goal? He just dropped West when he wasn't even in the contest.

I burst out laughing watching it replayed. It could hardly have been a more obvious free kick. He marches to his own beat Sicily.

 

[dergert]

Bont belongs in the middle.

 

[Oliver G]

As painful as Roaming Brian is, it was hilarious watching Macrae desperately trying to avoid BT at 01:16 and 3:00 respectively.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

I thought JJ and Macrae were excellent, particularly early when we were struggling.

Libba, Bont and West great as the game went on.

I was a bit disappointed with Crozier's game, but first game back in the 1s.

Weightman probably shouldn't have played.

 

[Munnez]

Westy and Libba absolutely carried us that game.

The backline is still an abomination. The ball just follows Gardner and his opponent. It's not a good thing.

We didn't get any heat on the ball carrier in the 1st quarter and dropped off again in the last but the match was done by then.
Hawks have unearthed a gem in Mitchell Lewis. Wish we would take a chance on a tall late in the draft occasionally might fluke one ourselves!!
