Game Day Hawks vs Crows in Tasmania, R6 2023

[hippyhippy]

Have we ever come back and won like that? EVER???

Remember that North Melbourne game... that was the greatest comeback in history

How clutch is Fog?

Didn't drop the head after the earlier miss. Just knows he can kick it.

Out coached by the botom side, took two individual pieces of brilliance from the boundary line in the last couple of minutes to fall over the line.

rubbish, there was no coaching brilliance, it was all pressure and effort with no system from the Hawks.

What a shocking performance but will take the 4points.

In what way? Hawks and the Crows both applied elite pressure all day, most tackles in a game by a country mile this year and it wasn't wet. Crows with over 70 tackles is massive, Hawks with 90 is just ridiculous. Haven't won at this venue since 2005. Never gave in and won it late through just a small lapse from the Hawks, it's all a match like that takes.

Not every win will be sexy, sometimes you just need to grind them out and bank the 4 points. The intensity today was played at is what you will encounter in finals against the better teams, so I'm glad we could stand up and get the win.

Tex and Sloane in particular were huge. Tex all day and Sloaney in the 2nd half. Soligo massive all day and some clutch touches late too. Rankine just doing Rankine things.

Not a dominant performance by any stretch, but we found a way to win and that's all that matters.

Sam Mitchell game plan add antisocial football to it.

 

[footy4ever]

Geee, so many salty disappointed Pear supporters. Glorious!

 

[BACCS]

Sloane with 11 in the last.

Was huge in the 3rd too. It was vintage Sloaney in the 2nd half.

Good sides learn to win when your having a bad day

Not saying we are a good side yet, but to win this way is great experience for the team

We weren't really that bad though. Our pressure was good, we moved the ball well at times. A bit sloppy with our finishing at times, but came up clutch late. The Hawks played very well today, very well.

Sam Mitchell game plan add antisocial football to it.

True, push numbers back and got us on the counter a few times. But we found a way to win against a different game plan.

 

[ams4crows]

Sloane wound back the clock there! That was some game!!

Also Max didn't get many possession but blanketed Bruest and that hit up kick on the last 3 mins was excellent

 

[BACCS]

Would be unfair to other players to award Brownlow votes after that game. Umpires should submit a blank form

Can you only appreciate wins where it's a sexy brand of football? Finals are played at that intensity, it's a massive step for this group to absorb that and find a way to win at a ground we haven't won at since 2005.

 

[Stepover]

As an aside, fancy having a talent like Fog and playing him in the twos as a BACKMAN and then as a midfielder.

Our coaches have been bloody woeful for a long time.

Disagree, he finally woke up from his slumber because of his time in the 2’s.

One pleasing thing is Nicks didn't look happy when the siren went. Hope they get a bake after the game.

I had a brief flashback to Phil Walsh after we fell in against a dismal Brisbane team

I could appreciate more it if we played a genuine finals contender. I'm glad we won but completely dissatisfied with how we played. It wasn't good enough

It was actually around the mark if you think we’re 6-14 team playing a super switched on 12-18 team

Geee, so many salty disappointed Pear supporters. Glorious!

Especially how Fogarty is reaching the elite player bracket, there's still a few clueless ones who think he is still a bust but they are the same one who think Georgiadias is still worth a 1st rounder.

 

[hippyhippy]

Is Launceston a smaller ground like scg?

They were gloating before the final siren on FB. My response this aged well

To be fair we had all given up. The best wins.

To be fair they were playing a state side.

I hate being fair.

You and me both. So does my boss. He hates saying no.

Amazing how quick things change.
Hawks absolutely dropped their pressure for 5 minutes and we're taking advantage.

Yep, especially a large amount of incredibly fickle supporters….

 

[dogs105]

This game should be stricken from everyone’s memory Men In Black style

What game?

So does my secretary .... joking.
