Game Day Round 9, 2024 : Hawks v Saints, 1:45pm UTAS

[smeltitdeltit]

no red time goals. Woohoo

 

[grumbleguts]

Hardwick had been huge this quarter.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Gunston really struggling to compete with Battle.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Dear is trying hard, but Wilkie is dominating him ATM

 

[JoeHawk]

No red time goal

 

[BlueWaterHawk]

won the first Q and no red time goal in the second!
Victory at last

 

[extractasam]

They're starting to outmark Dear a bit. I still am happy for him to go at them

The delivery hasn’t really suited him tbf. Looked outnumbered too saints may have had a spare

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I really ****en hate Ross Lyon.

Just parked a million people in our forward line all quarter and it ended up being a 2 goal to 1 quarter. Just bullshit coaching. He's made a career out of this crap.

 

[Sixpence]

Pretty boring last 15-20 mins. Won the quarter at least.

 

[VandoHawk]

Effort and application is there, just feels like the firepower isn't against a Ross side that plays this dour brand. Will come with time.

 

[Dewwwww]

Like the look of Battle

Would be very handy down back for us next year if it happens

 

[greenroom]

no red time goal. not great viewing though saints boring the life outta it. not helped by our inability to not kick it to wilkie or battle

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

The delivery hasn’t really suited him tbf. Looked outnumbered too saints may have had a spare

Yep, it's been sitting on his head. Easy for a bigger body to nudge him.

Throw him behind the ball

 

[Hotham Hawk]

Scrappy quarter but happy no red time goal conceded.

 

[HairyO]

Mitchell needs to bring in a $1k fine every time we bomb to a pack if Meek isnt there.

Over and over and over we do it and have maybe 3 marks with them easily 10.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Young Hawks are more aware not giving away junk time goals.

We need someone who can take a mark in our forward line. Maybe bringing in Bruest will take the attention away from Dear! Allowing Dear to get of the leash?

Go Hawkas!

 

[Baz_hawk]

We are asking a huge amount from Dear in game 2. Don't think he's got the aerobic capacity just yet to be able to do repeat efforts in packs. It's incredibly taxing for seasoned players, let alone a first year player who is still very raw.

 

[hardway]

Half time came at the right time.

 

[BlueWaterHawk]

I really *en hate Ross Lyon.

Just parked a million people in our forward line all quarter and it ended up being a 2 goal to 1 quarter. Just bullshit coaching. He's made a career out of this crap.

It's such ugly coaching and will never gain the success he is so desperate for. there's no creativity or cleverness to it, just boring dour football.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Newcombe and Day are so clean off the ground.

Newcombe had 12 touches that quarter, he was huge.

Day - 7
Worpel - 6
Nash - 4

Midfield worked into the game a bit more.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Playing well considering our spine

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

I really *en hate Ross Lyon.

It why he has never won a premiership!

 

[Max Powers]

We are hanging in there. Hopefully in the 2nd half we will break the game open a bit more.

Yep. Hopefully it is good early experimce for him.

 

[Sixpence]

Dear is trying hard, but Wilkie is dominating him ATM

Exactly why we need Chol and/or Lewis playing alongside him!
