Game Day Match Discussion - RD 22 vs. Hawthorn. Thur 07/08 @ 7:30pm (MCG)

[MightyBloods]

If you watch the NFL the Eagles went from like 10-0 to 11-6 and straight out of the playoffs.

This is reminding me of that.

I've seen a team do it in one game. A Swans supporter noting 2022 and 2024.

 

[Frankie23]

The most pathetic display in years, absolutely pathetic.

 

[Finnishpie]

We rested one or two players every week

That was on top of injuries. 3 or more changes to the side every week.

This season has now proven to have been so poorly mismanaged.

We managed Mitchell last week.

And we managed Pendlebury once from memory. Membrey, Mihocek. Hardly enough to make a massive difference.

It's the injuries to McCreery, to Lipinski, Bobby Hill's absence. Not resting Howe for the GC game when we should have.

+17 contested possessions. +8 Clearances.

 

[Kes1984]

Just have to really savour 2023 and appreciate how difficult it is to get there and win.

Our form has totally flipped, Howe so critical

Howe wasn’t gonna save this game when all of his teammate are playing like this

 

[anshell]

This is shocking.Our whole season just imploded in one quarter.But the warning signs have been there for a long time.We haven’t played any decent games for about two months now.

 

[crackerss08]

Moore and his creepy smile

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

That 2nd quarter was despicable from the moment Elliott missed his two shots

Jamie’s radar has been off for a while now

 

[gouki88]

**** he’s been useless. Plays soft and doesn’t have any elite qualities. What’s his role in our side?

I'm not sure, but it's driving me slightly mad. Doesn't crash packs in attack, has regressed as a pinch-hitting ruck, and is now thrown down back whenever we're under siege which predictably goes poorly

 

[lones37]

Put a fork in us.
We're done...
What has happened?
I'm not sure Howe would have helped much.

Pack your bags Bobby, and thanks for derailing our season.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

From 1st position majority of the season to out of the top 4 if we lose to Adelaide next week

 

[gouki88]

Sorry to intrude but you guys remind of the blues from last year. Hope you can turn it around.

This will not be received very well...

 

[fpm84]

Shambles. Geelong are coasting to the easiest flag ever with a cheat code

Jack Martin a premiership player, Bazlenka a potential Brownlow Medalist before Nick. What a failure.

AFL is now the Australian Farmers League run by Chris Scott, Laura Kane and Andrew Dillon feeding Jez 100 goals

You seem to be obsessed with Geelong, we can’t beat Brisbane so it’s a moot point.

Crows v Lions GF incoming.

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

More boundary line and pointing where we are going to kick the ball

We won’t win again in 2025

 

[Wattlebird]

This sucks. There’s a chance we’ll do a 4th quarter comeback, like with the Suns game, but this is terrible.

I’m getting real tired of the obsession with naidcos, on and off field, as well.

 

[leon123]

F off idiot

 

[Finnishpie]

Moore and his creepy smile

 

[upnsmoke]

Absolutely zero impact from the coaches btw. Continue with the same old shit in midfield and make no changes to the setup. Crisp, Schultz, Josh, Houston… try something ffs.

Conservatism is an absolute cancer.

The Pies lack midfield pressure. The midfielders are on 2nd gear while Hawks are on top gear.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Every week we are 40 or 50 disposals down on the oppo. We just don't get the ball, how can you score without winning any clearances or being able to turn the ball over like we were at one stage

It’s Nick or nothing and has been for ages.

He’s the only one who can win clearances with how bad the supply is and it takes a player of his level to do it.

The rest are too old, too slow.

 

[spartan-magpie]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Hawks have an injury payment like the ravens did in the NFL. The way Newcombe was smiling at Howe’s concussion

**** these Tassie campaigners are unbearable

Flaps needs a touch up. Weak prick. Acting all tough.

 

[Nicco_jj]

Ned Long, 1 touch.

Goodonya Fly.

In fairness, he was sub!

But also our midfield is getting monstered. Mitchell has contributed more, but Jack Ginnivan currently has more clearances than our whole midfield except Pendles.

 

[NeonLeon1]

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the contest. Wtf are you on about?

as in its typical that an absolute pivotal player for our setup is out for this match and the next and their player is all hunky dory to come out and get leather poisoning. Babes, watch your 'wtf' aggression - no need.

 

[frizzle]

You'd think they would be fired up seeing their team mate get bulldozed.

Or to celebrate their popular team mates 350th. Instead they served up this tripe.

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

The oldest team thing failed. Old legs run out of puff

 

[Tarkyn_24]

We managed Mitchell last week.

And we managed Pendlebury once from memory. Membrey, Mihocek. Hardly enough to make a massive difference.

It's the injuries to McCreery, to Lipinski, Bobby Hill's absence. Not resting Howe for the GC game when we should have.

+17 contested possessions. +8 Clearances.

I know it’s impossible to believe but Lipinski’s actually out there tonight!

 

[blackspider]

Something not right at the club. This performance is embarrassing, we are playing for top 4, one of our champs who is playing 350 games and this is how we show up? I cant take this performance. Behind closed doors, Something isnt right.
