Game Day Hawks head to the Handbagger Hub - Unofficial Match Simulation - Monday 17th February 2025 @ 2pm AEDT

MacKenzie is going to be so ****ing good

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Love to see that from Frenchie

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Like last year, we're a second behind them at this shithole

 

[VandoHawk]

Very nice passage from Mackenzie

 

[lethalselbow]

Chol looking a few kgs lighter than last year?

 

[kenneje]

I can almost hear the commentary, won't someone PLEASE turn up the construction site sounds a little?

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Feel like we’re quite unorganised defensively early

Midfield look like they have been encouraged not to push into defence. It's a plan c "1 goal to win with a minute left" situation.

Clear pressure when going forward. We have to remember is MATCH-SIM, not a practice game. Expect situations where er have 18 behind the ball for 10 minutes to "slow the game down," and plays where we bomb long right down the middle etc. It's unfortunate it is at gmhba though, as the dimensions make it far more difficult

 

[Millsie69]

Finn another crumb but the kick goes just wide of the goal.

Cats 2.1.13
Hawks 1.1.7

 

[lethalselbow]

Finn looking good.

 

[Bardo State]

Finn looking good.

He's hit those front and squares beautifully, hasn't he

 

[Hawk88]

Frenchie looking fit and clean...could take our midfield group to the next level this year

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Seamus doesn't have it

He tries

But he is a genuine liability

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Like last year, we're a second behind them at this shithole

Not just us. Structurally teams set up in certain ways, but such a long ground always messes this up. It's also why the cats seem to fall away in September (shorter ground, less straight line leading etc).

 

[RoughysMullet]

Our defence is holding up pretty well considering how much of the play they’ve had

 

[TylerDurden]

Seamus doesn't have it

He tries

But he is a genuine liability

Was thinking rust, but he's struggling already.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

I know it's just a match-sim, but bloody hell, deliberate?

 

[Wingnut19]

Geez early day but have never been impressed with Ward. What does he even do? Runs in quicksand

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Get Mitchell off

 

[VandoHawk]

That kick from Morrison sums up how we've been going. He's normally a beautiful kick but floats a 30 metre pass to Seamus that is cut off and Holmes goals.

 

[Millsie69]

Harsh to say that Shammy has been involved in all 3 Cats goals?

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Harsh to say that Shammy has been involved in all 3 Cats goals?

Yes

 

[RoughysMullet]

Geelong are throwing everything at this- we’re just a step behind- doesn’t seem like we’re trying as hard…

 

[Hawk88]

Seamus doesn't have it

He tries

But he is a genuine liability

Geez early day but have never been impressed with Ward. What does he even do? Runs in quicksand

Jesus lads, its Q1 of game 1 of a match sim lol

 

[Mojo]

The response is always more telling after a poor quarter.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Geez early day but have never been impressed with Ward. What does he even do? Runs in quicksand

Hes vanilla but you need a couple of players like that. Also, he can run all day, good value as interchanges get limited
