[seysearles]

Looking forward to seeing those ladder predictors on Monday.

Not sure this bloke knows what "first" means.

Fingers crossed the Adelaide crowd can copy paste.. really grinds gears for pies supporters

Imagine this kind of analysis in footy media. Really like Jeff's content.

Anyone else notice the hawthorn chant went out that sounded a lot like the Collingwood chant.. well-done to the crowd for that one. My mother in law is a Collingwood fan she nearly swallowed her false teeth

I rather enjoyed the moment where Ginnivan had the ball and the Collingwood people began to boo him, and it was drowned out by Hawks fans cheering him. I thought that was priceless.

Sammy made an interesting point in his presser that I hadn't really considered. He thought that Hawthorn's forward dominance in the marking department was helped by Howe not being there to help out.

My like button has gotten some workout in this thread!

Honestly couldn't pick a Best On Ground, too many options.

Season's still alive, return of Hokball, good times.

That's easy. N.Daicos. You should know that by now

 

[Atch]

Ginnivans hands are elite in the contest don't wanna jinx him but was so impressed from last night.

Just wanted to add a bit of Nash love. His kicking, physical impact and ball handling were top shelf.

Brilliant game by our lads, this has been brewing for a month or so, hopefully there's a bit more improvement left in the tank. Haven't seen such a dominant midfield from us performance all year, more please!

I was very tempted to go find the Eagles posters from a couple of months back who were laying it on thick about Ned Long being a better player than Nash has ever been....

His goal kicking has improved out of sight.

In assessing the incident, Match Review Officer Michael Christian said Newcombe's attempt to tackle Howe was 'not unreasonable in the circumstances' and did not constitute a reportable offence.

The only sensible outcome.

Hopefully Howe makes a good return in 2 weeks with no lingering effects.

Me too. When it’s broken down like that I realised as big as the loss of Will Day is it’s not insurmountable to us winning the flag if the buy in to the system is there. Sure, our midfield is not stacked with star power but with synergy built from the running half-backs and hard-working wings and half-forwards that game style from last night can beat anyone. And it’s awesome to watch!

Is there a gif of Nash body slam on daicos? Full WWE.

Been enjoying the evening thumbing through the Collingwood game day thread. Came across this pearler. Genuine Kudos for this post, hilarious and clever.

 

[grumbleguts]

I loved seeing the Tom Mitchell up-and-under dump kick 35 m forward. Now that it's in opposition colours.

Got a serious man crush on this bloke…

I just asked my wife ‘who do you think I have a man crush on’?

Her reply, ‘anyone wearing a Hawks jumper’

I couldn’t argue with her

 

[unitedhawk2]

Collingwood fans couldn’t wait to see the back of Ginnivan after bringing in Schultz, what a backwards bunch they are.

Weird club, clearly afraid to make a tough call on some senior players, Pendlebury an all time great, but he’s finished, and wants to go again for the record.
They’ll roll out Sidebottom, Elliot, Howe, Miocheck, WHE again and expect to contend, McCrae is delusional.

Richmond type drop off coming

I don't think the Richmond drop-off will be too big. They seem to have absolutely nailed the majority of their draft picks from last year and I can see them going past several clubs a lot faster than most people might think.

The Tigers will be a real force in 3-4 years from now and for plenty of years beyond that.

Yes please

Our tactic for Daicos was brilliant - a team focus that emphasised our player's strengths, rather than a straight tag.

At stop-ball contests, Worpel generally stood inside Daicos - using his body to block Daicos getting a clean run at the drop. Daicos invariably tried to win the ball (Worpel was in the way), even starting wrestles with Worps before the bounce. Then at the bounce, Worpel went ball hunting - as he was closer to the drop, Daicos was regularly forced to switch defensively rather than break into space.

At the same time, Nash was pivoting from his opponent to Daicos - so if Nick did mange to get possession, Nash was already closing at speed from the other side - in his face immediately. Finally, in transitional play Ward was keeping a close-ish eye on Daicos, using his stamina/speed to always be working back diligently to cover whilst still being an offensive option on overlap.

Nick may not have had a great game, but actually went up in my eyes - he worked damn hard defensively, covered massive amounts of ground - and whilst he was still a ball hog - most of his possessions had offensive intent and purpose.

Excellent analysis!

Now, wait for King and Montagna to pick it up and claim it as their own.

Played well but Pies were cooked.

. Meek fantastic. Can take a grab and the fact he snuck forward was fantastic against a quality ruck in Cameron
. Newcombe is our most important player. Tough as nails and getting more skillful each year
. Sicily and Barrass back to their best
. Worpel looked better as the game went on but I would like a statistical analysis on how many times he gets caught holding the ball each game. Lacks awareness and then bites off more than he can chew.
. Breust I feel may be past him. Give him a crack vs Melbourne maybe but I wouldn't want him in against good teams as much as it pains me to say.
. CJ was very good and did enough to keep his place imo.
. Would like to see Frenchie come in to beef up the midfield I feel if he didn't come in this week then he isn't in the plans for the rest of the year.
. Chol is so important to us as the second ruckman. Gets high usually wins the tap as well as being more agile than most other big men
. Dear and Lewis are still working into it but haven't set the world alight yet. If we are to revert back to 3 talls, I dare say Dear would get the chop unfortunately.
. Gunston aging like a fine wine.

It's more Pete that's a bit of a sore winner. Both Boys are pretty respectful.
