McKay an upgrade on BZT.

Cox has found his place.

Tsatas will be a jet

my biggest take away from this is that we didn't let the pressure get to us. NOW i know it's a low stakes game, but those are the ones we've struggled with (think norf x2 and west coke last year), and even if it was a flashy win, we were always in charge, even when it was close in the third. I'll actually watch it later tonight and give some """indepth""" thoughts about specific things but just looking at the stats pidge, setters and marto were all extremely important to our success.

we had depth today, some changes need to happen but that's to be expected i think

IN: Draper, Parish, Hobbs
OUT: Jones, Kelly, Heppell

Unconvincing but a WIN - we'll take it

Skills and defensive work needs attending to

Perko fantastic, Package was the X factor

Loved Zac and Setters grunt in the midfield - Tsatas as the sub did some great work when he came on

Happy for Mass for the Hawks - really played and used the ball well

Lyon just said Tsatas was in the top 6 players after half time.

I said that I felt like Perko was stuck in second gear over the break looks like he found the clutch today.

Coming of age game for Perkins.

12 tackles, 24 touches, 2 goals.

Huge game

He was above Jones at that stage according to the stats.

Not so fast. He had a faux breakout game against these campaigners last year. Needs to do it against Sydney.

Stringer was pacing himself preseason and stamped his mark on the season today as well I think.

Cox reminded me a couple times of Fletch the way he throws his arms out to block the ball. Hope Scott leaves him in the backline so he can get settled and gain some confidence.

he was more like a mop, if anything

 

[BomberTime]

Are there any Hawks players that don’t duck their heads?

Gee whiz.

Back in your dungeon Mitchell you little gimp.

Good call I agree. I actually think he has been a good mentor for Perko because of their similar unique skill sets.

Winners are grinners and losers can eat and wees.

And Tsatas will be in the top six players in the AFL in a couple years time.

 

[JT_the_Man]

I liked Durham in the middle.

Impressed with Setterfield, didn't realise we missed him so much last year.
