Game Day Round 1 2019: Adelaide vs Hawthorn, AO

[Strapping Young Lad]

Our foward line making it look pretty tough to kick goals

Not really. We’re looking for the kicks to have more penetration on a couple of occasions.

Roughead and Gunston are far greater marks of the ball when they can hold their position and let the ball come over to them.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Good start need to keep it up now though.

 

[MitchHomieQuan]

Defence is under siege but holding extremely strong, definitely looking the better side

 

[grumbleguts]

nice quarter by warple.

 

[Mrzohs]

Great start take that every day!!!
Every single player having a crack!

M.lewis must play games this yr after watching 1 qtr reminds of the last 2 season's.

 

[madhawksfan]

Great pressure and effort. Mirra and Sicily very good down back. Jaeger and Worps going well in the middle.

A couple of wasted opportunities but looking well organised defensively.

Will the umps pay a HTB sometime?

 

[KermitJagger]

Good to see Burgoyne get into O'Meara for that shot on goal. Great leadership.

 

[lethalselbow]

Missed a bit of that quarter. Who is Mirra playing on?

 

[Breustiful]

Worps tackle on Lynch. Fantastic. Beast.

 

[flinchfree]

Reverse angle on the Stratts bump didnt look too bad

Yup, nothing to worry about....except the Captain has not looked sharp at all this season..

 

[MightyHawks86]

Lot of HTBs not paid in that quarter from both sides.

Loving the intent. Worps just really wants that footy.

 

[Pessimistic]

Team needs a little wingmagic

 

[Alite]

Mirra had a good quarter

 

[JoeHawk]

Reverse angle on the Stratts bump didnt look too bad

Hopefully ok. Stratts didn’t turn his body. Went straight and held his ground in what was inevitable contact. That said, expect the feral crows supporters to boo Stratts

 

[Hodgey09]

Superb first quarter. Fantastic game plan that everyone’s buying into. Keep it up boys!

 

[Paul Kersey]

As you do.
From behind it looked like a head hit, was happy with the other angle being shown straight away

Yep - agree.

 

[HeHateMe]

Very steady very tactical quarter.

Id want to see something a little bit more explosive at some point because crows arent just going to continue to move the ball the way we want them to.

They already have started to flick it out and hold it up when nothings on.

 

[Glenhope]

Season's started. I'm watching on a tablet. It all seems weird though, like I'm groggy or something. I need some winter to go with my footy.

 

[KOLOKOTRONIS]

Great pressure!

We haven’t moved the ball well inside 50, however our structures are holding up well in the back half.

[Baz_hawk]

Nash is adding a lot of pressure at ground level but doesn't get in the right spots when we are attacking. He's been good despite having no disposals to date.

Adelaide have had a lot more of the ball but they have over possessed so I don't think that stat alone is a good indicator. Forward entries are a concern.

 

[COKEandCOLA]

And by mirra don’t you think?

Actually didn't see it to be honest but looking at the end of quarter stats sheet, he seems to be playing well.

I'm watching on my Telstra Live pass on my phone and also using my web browser to type here, so I'm didn't get to watch the quarter in it's entirety.

Will be watching it again tomorrow though.

Feels a bit like 87 GF day weather.

 

[Gralin]

Yup, nothing to worry about....except the Captain has not looked sharp at all this season..

He had a good quarter other than that

 

[MistyAvalon]

Ha ha - listening to MMM Adelaide. Only heard Sic's name twice. Looked over at the stats sheet and he's top of the table with 7 possies.

Flicked over to SEN now

Sen is usually much better

 

[COKEandCOLA]

Good hard football, it's bloody great to watch.

If we can keep this pressure up, we're in with a real chance.

Bit of a shame that JOM popped that shot at goal off when Gunston was wide open.

Hopefully doesn't prove too costly.
