Game Day Hawks v Pies official practice game - Thursday March 2 @ 5:10pm - UTAS

[Apex36]

Markov is already in the top 30% of AFL/VFL players for the number of games he has played so he is no spud either.

He’s played 51 games in 7 years. That’s well and truly spud territory. It’s truly astonishing that you’re even attempting to compare him to Brown (the supposed dual failure), who managed more games in 2.5 years in the system than Markov has in his 7 year career.

“He is just one of those players who makes things happen and impacts nearly erectile he's near the footy.”

Does Gin make you horny?

Yeah baby!

Size (or lack of it) had no negative impact on us last year. In fact we bullied Geelong for long periods of play the two times we played them last year and they were rattled.

Would argue it was our manic attack and pressure that allowed us to break them open not contested bullying as such.

Hawks showed many teams are going to bring a similar gamestyle we employed we will need that contested side to improve so we don't go backwards imo.

He’s failed at two teams already. No idea why people seem to think he’s going to suddenly become a star.

Break glass in case of.... being absolutely up shit creek and have 20 players on the injury list.

Leigh Brown failed at two clubs before being an important cog in our premiership team.

No 5 draft pick. Played 21 games in his 1st season and never played less than 21 in the next 7 seasons. He had one down season at NM with 9 games then played 23, 19, 23 in 3 seasons at the Pies. He was essentially the same player at Collingwood the he was in the first 8 seasons but got team success at a big club. 246 games. He never failed was never a star

Markov is backup. 51 games in 6 years. He is fringe AFL level. Handy if we get injuries.

 

[unplugged]

I missed most of the game so watching the replay on Kayo now. Typical of last year, started with the first few goals and they got some easy ones back (like 3 goals from 5 inside 50s easy).

We should've been 5 goals up early.

 

[ClaytonM]

From the non usuals in terms of younger players….Reef showed why they like him as a forward target …he’s actually quite good overhead in the air and on the lead.
That mark coming from three deep in the last on D50, dare I say it had a bit of the Ollie Henry’s about it.
I think he can add some potency inside 50 as he is an awkward match up for opposition with his size as he’s not just an overhead player, he’s a ground level player who is tall overhead.
Fingers crossed he can have an improved season where he makes his mark even if he is in and out of the side.

He certainly has potential. His biggest weakness at the moment is decision making with ball in hand. Too slow and at times poor.

He is young so hopefully improve with experience and confidence.

Let’s hope lippa doesn’t need surgery

He'd be a massive loss, and has been in good preseason form looked great prior to injury one of our best. So clean.

We dominated early.

I take it you mean to slow to make a decision rather then foot speed?

Yes a 246 game AFL failure. Probably puts him in the top 10% of players to ever play the game.

 

[loki04]

Josh was poor? Didn’t see any of the game but he had very good numbers. Was he wasteful?

Josh was reasonable.

Nick was OK given tag on him. Will be a learning curve.

 

[ClaytonM]

Yes. When he marks around the edge of 50 he is too slow to turn and release the ball.

I just found it funny that they chose to tag Nick while Jordy ran riot tbh. Also, who tags in a practice match

Some thoughts after watching replay….

Scodog10 - I’m def in the camp that Adams/Mitchell 50/50 fwd gives us a better look than gini. It’s how we will set up going into the first few rounds and I thought Adams was dangerous.

Defensively we were horrendous at stopping the easy out. All down to work rate. Not sure this is fixed by “practice match work rate”….my major issue.

Stoppage…again plenty of first hand fumbles….reduce this and our losses are mitigated.

Can’t play JDG and Naicos in middle together as both as one and done….

Apart from that; liked what I saw from a lot of it.
Score irrelevant. Umps have some work to do on basic calls. Counted 4 goals that were really at the scale of wtf?!?

Glad naicos was tagged…he needs to learn from what opp will do and our coaches need to learn about how to break it….probably the single biggest lesson (and stupidity from opp) f on tonight.

Hill was great…but I’m sure Gini will walk back i to his spot in round 3

I'm glad they did early exposure helps Nick adjust and adapt, he'll be fine. Onwards and upwards for him from here.

I think we miss Ginni, Adams can rotate off the bench and be fresh legs.

It’s a window into Clarko’s deranged mind. Will end up being sacked by North within three years.

He ain’t anywhere near our best side on this display.
Can give him a pass on gamestyle…..but that stupid loopy kick out to the wing lost me.

Much prefer…..really anyone else…over this. Big miss from the coaching team to thinks he’s anywhere near our team atm.

 

[No SPIN]

I was hoping to see less bombing long to a pack under Leppa as the fwd Coach.
Haw we’re far better at picking out a target inside 50.
We need to use the latter more often in a game, because otherwise we will continue to waste I50 opportunities just bombing long.

 

[TheVillageIdiot7]

Out of curiosity….what did we miss with Gini?

 

[Matt_352]

No DeGoey and no Lipinsky really hurts our prospects against the Cats. I think DeGoey is going to miss a week. Why would you do that in an innocuous practice match where bruise free footy was the order of the arvo?

Kidding right? There's was flipping nothing in it

 

[doppleganger]

We only beat the Hawks by 4 in 2022, they have been our bogey team for a long time.

Happy with any win over the Hawks.
