[standupand]

Feels like we weathered the storm a bit that quarter. Some disappointing kicks going forward but could've been worse. Humphries and Stewart good down back.

 

[Mac Chappy]

Our midfield is so light on

One who needs a genuine rocket this break is Tom Atkins

.
Barely raised a trott and looks scared of the contest, zero tackles and essentially a zero positive impact.
Needs to stand up and actually start impacting the contest.

 

[thegerman]

Here’s our problem. These guys are playing well below average, problem is some are our midfield and forward stoppage players.

 

[Cataholic]

Smith worth the pay rise! A few of our guys need to take cuts for this!

Having a red hot go.

We need others to follow his lead.

 

[Mr Meow]

Which positive?

Provided the run and found Martin inside 50. Ran hard to contest the Hawthorn kick inside our 50.

Which ones for Neale?

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Smith has to do it all himself

A few times + no one at home in the goal square

 

[YOTC]

That's for HTB

A throw is a throw regardless

Well unless performed by Hawthorn

I'd argue Holmes wasn't throwing it but I didn't get a good look

 

[fpm84]

Compare the space Gunston has to work into to us bombing the ball onto Jezza’s head v three opponents.

Fix that right now.

 

[Klink2]

Take the eight point deficit and run. Whilst our pressure had been good, everything else has not.

Smith needs some support:

Atkins- 3
Miers - 4
Bowes - 3
Blitz - 2

Fire up boys.

 

[Generalissimo]

Mullin's been good.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Geez not much to get excited about. Skills are atrocious, fumbly, out of position, can’t tackle, our connection going forward continues to be woeful.

 

[TomsBulgingDisc]

Hawks defending extremely well. Our ball use is poor because of it. Can Hawks do it for the duration? Doubt it. Cats to open it up in second half.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Holmes is an absolute butcher of the ball.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Zero from Jez and Mannagh.
Less than zero from Holmes and Neale.

I'll take the current score.

Smith needs another pure mid to help him out.

SDK continues to look solid with the fist.
Mullin solid as a rock these days.

 

[thegerman]

Tackling is well below our norm. 11 for the quarter is a dismal effort.

 

[Lingsface]

worst quarter I have seen Holmes play, attacking the ball like a girlfriend that has seen a cockroach. Fumbles, half arsed tackles come on Holmes you're better than that.

 

[fpm84]

Tackles 27 - 11 their way.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Compare the space Gunston has to work into to us bombing the ball onto Jezza’s head v three opponents.

Fix that right now.

FAR too congested in our forward line

 

[Cataholic]

Compare the space Gunston has to work into to us bombing the ball onto Jezza’s head v three opponents.

Fix that right now.

It's our way too often.

 

[Lingsface]

Get Cameron on the Wing we are entering to slow for him to wrestle, beat them on the way back.

 

[dazbroncos]

Gott drop the eyes and hit forwards on leads.... Barrass and Sicily will keep cleaning up all day long

Need the Mids to start as well.

Miers Jezza Neale are no where.
MAnnagh invisible. Brunh quiet... Atkins too

Ollie Demspey and Henry both need to make presence felt

Go Catters

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Let’s get real though, we played GCS and got flogged only just beat Freo and Adelaide, till we beat a decent side I’m not convinced we have the goods this season, I know it’s early in the season but we just look underdone so far this season compared to other seasons

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Martin is another who's been busy early

But skill errors by foot are letting him down

He makes terrible decisions, 3 Hawks surrounding 1 Geelong player, he'll take them odds any day.
