Preview Gameday Thread. Hawks Vs Bulldogs

[Flamin Joe]

Everytime? Forgotten 2008 already?

And since then zilch. That's the problem. Good to see he's finally got on the board this time.

He's got the wood over Buddy of late and that's a real concern especially with Roughie's form all over the shop. We can't afford to have both key forwards making no impact on the game.

Happy he picked up a couple (although only one was from a marking contest) but I'm still concerned Buddy won't have the same impact with Lake around. Nullafies him in far too many contests and the Doggies defence is working together extremely well.

It's a lot to put it all on Buddy, but like I said Roughie hasn't had any real impact this year. It's time for Buddy to have a break out game against Lake.

Pathetic half. We are very lucky to be within 5 goals here.

We are a class below, minus Hodge and Sooze with the taps....other than that, woeful. Murph has been stunning also.

 

[Flamin Joe]

A little sick of 50's being awarded at the drop of the hat...

It's a joke. We're up to 14 I think (11 last night?) in two games and we're only at half time. Umpires going for a record I think.

Not sure what game your're watching. Is it the Hawks - Dogs game? Both teams have had their chances, seems very even to me.

Rough needs to play a blinder this half the game depends on it.
Xavier is a star

Am I watching the same game as you?

As for Roughie, it seems pretty clear what the problem is. In the past, he presented himself but noone ever kicked it to him. As a result of this, I reckon he's become a little lazy and doesn't even bother with his runs now.

 

[Dubz]

Get rid of them. I say and Ill keep saying it's far too harsh for most of the reasons they are given. Use the SANFL 25m rule, much more realistic.

This is too close. One of these teams will get a few breaks or lucky free kicks. Could go either way. Might favour us, Dogs are down a couple of players.

I agree.

50m is just to much in today's footy. Especially for the silly stuff they give it for. If i was a jaded person, anyone would think they give them to try and ensure goals to add ad breaks.

We can take this game. I wont say more because i'm listening on the radio, but we are well positioned to take this!

CARN HAWKERS!!!!!!

Unlikely to happen

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

I reckon Ossie is a crucial player this half. If he can lift and provide a lead up target and forward pressure when we don't have it, then we are right in it

Seriously, its a great contest. The dogs are putting serious pressure on us and we need to prove were a quality side. I think were going pretty well

 

[Hawker_Ant]

Xavier is a star

DT has Burgoyne on 65, X-man on 51. And Shoey on just 15. Strats on 67.

For mine X-man has contested the ball much better than Burgoyne and Schoey has been excellent in defence. But DT is all about possesions and disposals. Spoils aren't recorded

 

[Flukey!]

Peterson..........misses

 

[Slavy1223]

FFS they are dominating but no scoreboard pressure!

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

F$%K. We have beaten them this qtr and yet we still find ourselves behind. Frustrating. 3 behinds this qtr isn't good enough

 

[Flamin Joe]

GRRRRRR had all the play, doing fantastic in defence, missed opportunities, Doggies goal. GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[Hawker_Ant]

Peterson..........misses

Hasn't done too much. Can be an X-factor but I would have like to have seen WhiteX in.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

What is the go with Sewell. Not getting much of it over the last few weeks

 

[Flukey!]

Cyril

 

[Off The Couch]

Thank god for cyril


Just sounds like there is no one to kick goals - listening on the radio it seems as though there is only half a team out there - same names mentioned again and again and tbh not the ones I want to hear.

 

[Slavy1223]

Roughy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hawker_Ant]

Beautiful work by Roughie to set up man on the spot Cyril. That's why he's not at Box Hill or in the back line.

 

[EaglesFlyingHigh]

Is this game being streamed anywhere?

 

[Hawker_Ant]

There's that Peterson X-factor. Pity he missed.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Peterson, X factor or not, gotta convert his oppurtunities.

Tagging Cooney at the moment. Not doing too badly.
