Review Round 11, 2025 - Hawthorn vs. Brisbane Lions

[jonnobackpocket]

God that is a massive win- just composed and the defensive side of the game was incredible. Up the Roy boys

 

[Squizz89]

Must say I’m pretty happy we never went to hard acquiring Mabior a few years ago. Really average footballer.

 

[Elixuh]

We need to create fake Chris Fagan milestones every week. We’d never lose a game.

 

[Coastal Lion]

Morris amazing got us going then competed till he was subbed i still pinch myself that he is still so young once he can complete physically for 4q's it will be scary

You play him with Oscar until Day is back. I've seen enough of Hipwood in the ruck. Cooks him and struggles in the forward line.

I agree completely. What I will say though is that Hippy was serviceable, Morris had a cpl of goes I think. To me it shows that we could, if further performances impress, give Gallop a run and have that 2nd ruck covered.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Has Sicily almost become a liability?

 

[braddsey]

Well that was satisfying, particularly sitting in the MCC member surrounded by Hawthorn supporters.

Charlie is past it, and Kai needs a couple of weeks in the 2’s to find form.
(Saying that uneducated crap last week seemed to work, so i’m going for it again!).

 

[moncon]

That's more like it!!! And for once the commentators give Cal the credit he deserves. Tore the Hawks defence a new one (with his usual self-effacing modesty of course). Could've (should've?) had 6. AA material for mine.

Sammy and Clarko going at it to see how many sheets of Gyprock they can punch through.

TBF the kick from Weddle was a shocker.

Dizzy looked awesome in the ruck on the 2 occasions he had too.
Unfortunately big Lloyd looked Meek today

lol this needs to be posted on the mainboard match thread. Too good.

Yes...yes he has

It was nice seeing Mitchell channel his inner clarko

 

[Coastal Lion]

Dunkley rarely plays bad he deserves more credibility for sure

 

[Sproj]

Payne needs to be in All Australian contention, he has had an incredible year.

If Andrews can't make it year after year because Carlton KPD plays for Carlton and McGovern is McGovern and so 'he pick himself', Payne has no chance.

 

[NotQuiteJezza]

I never thought these words word be written by me but Berry is a crucial cog in our machine. He is far and away our most improved player over the last 4 years. I remember when he could raise his arms above his head. After the surgery he is transformed. His contest work is unbelievable.

 

[Lockie]

Charlie’s three goals and dance celebration in front of us lion fans was awesome - great game by all. Those MCG post victory donuts were so good and the Belgrave train full of a smiling lions - fabulous.

You are sounding like a Fox commentator. And yes.

Berry just does his job every week like Dunks doesn't get the kudos that others do...not that they don't earn it.

 

[Section 5]

On from the start just like the Suns game.
A good win after being way below our best the past two weeks.
Overall, a team effort which has been absent for 2 weeks

Ah Chee BOG for me.
Playing that type of role, it is hard to get 20 disposals 10 marks and kick 4 goals 2 behinds.

Zorko just 4 meters short of 1000 meters gained. He did have 11 turnovers though.

We smashed them in clearance 41-24. More important being center clearances 14-7 then stoppage 27-17
Won tackles 59-36 which indicates we were applying lots of pressure on the Hawks for 4 quarters.

McCluggage continues his good consistent year. All the midfield were good this week.

Berry back in really helps our structure.
He basically did not play v the Roos draw (9% TOG) and missed the loss to the Demons.

 

[Berrygood]

Completely irrelevant to this thread. In the vfl game Swans v Coburg there was a 100m torp that went for a goal. Bounced a few of times but still flew 70m in the air. Worth checking out the vision.

 

[Saucery]

I know I have said this before, but I believe that if Cam was left in the FF role and taught how to run leading patterns properly (no more midfield time) he could be another Allen Jackovich. Same height, Jacko was heavier but seriously Cam is way stronger and faster.

 

[Pride of lions]

The way we ran out the last quarter was impressive coming off a 6 day break,particularly when the Hawks had an extra 3 days to prepare.

 

[Ceebee]

Fort played a great game. His ground ball effort was way better today and I think he'll gain confidence longer he plays as the primary ruck. Oscar could play deep forward when he returns?

I gave him a vote , he was great .
