Hawks vs Collingwood

[croady_fan24]

Roughie missed the lot.

Changa off with groin soreness.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Gilham kicked a great goal before.

Wow, what a shame he doesn't look like a key defender on a very average opposition.

 

[croady_fan24]

Buddy kicked number 6.

I think Collingwood should officially be out of the 8 by the end of this round ?

ahh go the HAWKS !

Medhurst though lining up for a goal and he misses the lot.

58307...bit disappointing. Thought it would be 65k

Really should have won by more in the end - Collingwood might not be up to it, but good to see us string together 3 and a bit 'dominant' quarters.

Makes you realise just how good a coach Malthouse is - to get that group into/close to finals is an amazing effort.

For Collingwood, Maxwell was everywhere in the 3rd, Clarke knows how to get it (and kick to advantage), Didak has exceptional kicking, Pendlebury's a star. Not sure how much they got out of tonight. They're really missing their KPP to give them some structure.

For us, Ellis was superb, Birchall found some form at last, Taylor was very good linking through the middle, Murphy was pretty solid, and good defensively, Gilham gave plenty of drive.

Probably the only downsides you could find would be Williams (though he was ignored multiple times in the "buddymania" - should have had 4-5 shots on goal but wasn't been targetted), Campbell off his game, and the Croad/Hodge injury concerns.

Crawf didn't do a whole lot, but gives us something we lack.

How good to see Clarko with the child in the huddle singing the song. The Family Club.

Weather not much chop. Cold. A heavy change came through about 4-5pm which would have convinced most to stay at home in front of the TV.

Meh, im working

 

[PADJUAN]

Im a bit disappointed tonight....

I had a punt on buddy kicking 6 or 7 at $5.. went from 6 to 8 in no time!

Got a bet from earlier in the season for Buddy to kick the first bag of 10.. He's making these good wins frustrating with his 8.7s...

Congrats guys.

We did the complete opposite to what i said was required in my preview...so we got what we deserved.

The guys i said we had to shut down ran rampant....Maxwell was the last choice i thought of for Franklin and our forward line was non existent when i said we should've brought in young Dawes for a target.

Next week i'll email Mick my preview.



All round you guys are shaping up nicely. You havent put Hodge in the midfield for 2 weeks now...so you know you've got another gear in ya's yet...and Crawford has got a lot more match fitness to get back into him. He was barely on.


Add Crawford and Hodge back into the side in form and you can match Geelong.

 

[RustyHawk]

Thanks DaVe86 your welcome here anytime.

Got a bit worried in the 3rd.

Rhyce Shaw was a bad out for you guys.

Hope you make the 8! Will give a certain team Werribee West team a shudder as you ran them so close last year and comfortably beat them this year.

 

[kelvinthebigfella]

Well done Hawkers

 

[Bazzahawk]

Dew added a bit for me. poise and leadership on a wing at almost at times. Campbell ok for me, But have we a more versatile, mobile lump of meat than Taylor? Someone as a back-up that isn't just a ruckman.... Taylor is bad all-round but his height but he doesn't use well anyway.... give Zac a run... He'll give a contest, can mark AND kick.. Our back-up ruck is burning a spot on our bench...

Don't know about Cambo being off his game, he did some beautiful work in the back half again last night....

what a shame Collins-Langford-Ayres doesn't look post an intelligent poster !
