JLT2 2019 - Hawthorn v Richmond, UTAS Stadium 7:10pm AEDT 9 March 2019

[Pessimistic]

Is bigfooty melting?

 

[Zack]

Rough has gotta go, absolutely cooked

He was, but Lewis taking the best defender suddenly means he's a better second forward than their second backman… it's all relative.

I think the new ruck rules may hurt Richmond more than any other team. At the moment we are exploiting them with it... and we are arguably one of the worst ruck teams in the league... we make it up with BB's work around the ground. But using Ceglar who has height so far either we are bloody lucky or we are kamikaze get it forward who cares where and it's working.

I'm not much worried from herein... Clarko almost always calls these games or early season games off once he sees what he likes so not to let the opposition see it for a full game.

 

[Bumps"N"Grins]

Early days and expect more shrill predictions throughout the year.

Shrill!!!!!??
Have we got left wingers on our board?
God help us.

 

[StillAtLarge]

I've enjoyed this....we look cohesive. Tiges have been selfish and I imagine they'll be much improved come the 2nd half but this has been an excellent hitout for us so far. Hope TOB shows a bit when he gets a run

 

[Carl Spackler]

Cotch interview - says Hawks applying a lot of pressure. But it's frustrating pressure - the type you get from being in the right structure, prepared for the onslaught. I'm loving this.

 

[Roddy]

The very second he has a below-par game....

 

[RustyHawk]

The 3rd quarter has started.

 

[MistyAvalon]

oh crap.... not a good start to the second

 

[Max Powers]

Cmon boys think your way through it.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Rough to line up for number 4.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

RUFFF

 

[Max Powers]

4 for the big Rough.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Worps has been very good tonight

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Nice one Rough. Keep the pressure on Hawks!

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

O’meara is a bull

 

[RustyHawk]

Q3 15:59 to go

Richmond score 2 quick goals. 1 to Riewoldt who has TOB on him.


Then Richmond stuff up a kick out of defence. Our man Lewis makes the intercept mark, handballs quickly to a running Burgoyne who kicks down the throat of Roughie who marks, goes back and add his 4th goal for the game.

H: 10.05.65
R: 04.07.31

I don’t know about this. If I’m the oppo coach I know Rough is more dangerous than an unproven kid in Lewis. If ML can compete and give us another option that definitely helps Rough but as long and Roughs kicking goals hel still take the best defender

 

[Glorin]

Who said Roughy was done? Looking fine to me.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Frawley looks as fit as I have seen him in years.

 

[RustyHawk]

Hardwick has been excellent in defence. The new corporate look that Stratton has adopted has been copied by him.

 

[Jimmy#17]

Dewayne on Nash “There’s no tackling in Gaelic football so Hawthorn had to teach him how to tackle”.

He played rugby as well you moron. I’m sure tackling is one of the things that he didn’t need to learn

"Corporate Stratton". Love it!

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Round 2 of JLT and the commentators are already giving me the pip, going to be a long season...

 

[Off The Couch]

Gary Lyon needs to stand in front of TOB and repeat what he said - truth maybe a good thing

 

[lethalselbow]

Timmy Obrien kicks out of bounds on the full with zero pressure. Poor effort. Sheesh.
