Training 2024 Preseason reports and discussion

[Mitchell Madness]

Those run of goals... it's only preseason, but flashbacks to the swans and port, and the scum, and the blues last yr

 

[Lickmesocks]

Frost is not in our best team now and won’t be in our best team in 3-4 years. I would prefer to watch young Phillips learn the game than watch Frost ball week after week.

[hawkman]

Some of Mackenzie's kicks are good when they work, awful turnovers when they don't

 

[matey]

Are all AFL umpires from west of Melbourne or something

 

[VandoHawk]

Chol 3 or 4 great efforts there leads to a CMac goal

 

[excitingnews]

Hustwaite has looked fantastic at times

Yep opposition runs are still a problem for us by the looks

 

[peetoo]

Doggies now showing they can do it without umpire help

Spoke too soon

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

It's not the goals it's how there getting them. Way too many easy goals. Are we looking into what we're doing to limit how it's happening. That's what I'll be looking for. Not just a case in round 1 we will tighten those areas up and everything will be fine.

So I’m guessing the second game not on kayo?

From a scale of 'Our season is over' to 'Fold the club', where are we at?

Depends on whether we fight back this quarter. Get within 20 and it's season over. Stays 40+ it's fold the club.

Well we know who number 1 whipping boy is….still

Middle of the road... at best...

 

[Bardo State]

Can we play all of Worpel, Nash, Newk, Ward, Hust in Rd 1?

 

[HoldingThe Ball]

I'll call it now - Phillips MUST play in 2024.

The back 6 needs to be 'fixed' by Sam so they can grow as a unit.

As soon as he came on today the back 6 showed STRUCTURE.

Sic and Scrim immediately had the freedom to intercept and we looked better.

Scrimshaw Phillips Amon

Impey Frost Sicily

I don't want to see Weddle in the backline ever again.

He cannot defend. Spoils when he should mark, loses his man and generally looks like he hates being there.

His strength is running - he is a winger NOT a defender so don't waste him there.

Lock in the back 6 above and keep it.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Who the hell is on Darcy there? Meek where were you?

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Middle of the road... at best...

We wish

 

[TazHawk15]

From a scale of 'Our season is over' to 'Fold the club', where are we at?

Hawks 13 Premierships
Dogs 2 Premierships.

That’s where we are at.

 

[Mercy Seat]

Not watching, is this Dogs best lineup?

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Very easy gameplan to beat us which I also saw last year. Our players get sucked into the ball handler, ball handler rushes a disposal to space. Then the opponent breaks away

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Half are out.

Dogs have lots of experienced plodders. Would rather young kids tbh
