JLT2 2019 - Hawthorn v Richmond, UTAS Stadium 7:10pm AEDT 9 March 2019

[Slick]

Wow Kim jong! Not gonna be tolerated, you’re on a high horse or chair?

Lol, getting shitty at a mod for doing their job (albeit with a bit of sass), you alright mate?

 

[PLATTS44]

Scrimshaw is my biggest take away from this game. Early on we saw what he is capable of, he has all the talent to be a gun at AFL level. He still has a lot of work to do and it will take some time but i hope we pump games in to him this year and expect he will be a very good contributor by the second half of the year.

he looks like he will be a player but Rougheads game was great to see

 

[COKEandCOLA]

Love conformists, so easy to please.

You seem like the type, that loves themself.

Like, literally loves themself.

 

[Dave Id]

The first half was great and I am assuming that's our preferred setup, the second half was obviously Clarko flipping the magnets around and trying a few different options and setups.

Overall, It was a good effort by the boys and people need not be disappointed with the loss, we will be better for the experience.

These were my observations from the match.
Lewis - so much to work with here. If taking 2 big marks in the opening 90 seconds doesn't prove it, then keeping his feet and pinpointing a pass to Roughie for his first certainly should.
Scrimshaw - massive opening quarter, with 12 disposals and showing us all why he was so highly rated as a junior. Needs to get plenty of games early.
Worpel - tough as nails and found plenty of the ball, however needs to work on his composure, as he seems to just want to hack the ball forward. This is where the coaching skills of Sam Mitchell will get tested.
Moore - had another very quiet night and I still don't believe he's ready. He has all the tools for being a handy player, but needs more time in the VFL to develop them.
Cousins - unfortunately, it seemed that he was out of his depth, at times. I'm hoping that it's just a matter of getting more game time, as he definitely has potential.
Morrison - has great skills and a great footy brain. His defensive work and tackling was once again fantastic.
Nash - needs to work on his kicking and his marking, but his pressure is Cyril like. When he hits an opposition player with a tackle, they stay hit.
O'Brien - probably one of the worst games I've seen him play. He brings nothing to the side, other than a lack of heart. He needs to toughen up and start to believe in himself, before it's too late.
Brand - signs were looking good early and I wonder if perhaps the cheap shot off Riewoldt affected his game. We need to persist with playing him and give him a good run at it.
Hanrahan - did a couple of good things in the last quarter. Has potential.
Mirra - not up to it, plain and simple.
Impey - his run and dash was a definite feature of the game. I think he may have finally found his best place in the side.
Sicily - seemed to be cruising in second gear, but still seemed another level above most on the ground.
Roughead - had a massive game and seemed like the Rough of old. Let's hope that it's an indication of things to come.
Hardwick - seemed to make a slow start, which is unusual, however improved as the game wore on.
Bruest - appeared to have played a lesser game, than he actually did. Perhaps it was those couple of misses on goal, that made it appear that way.
Frawley - was a Colossus down back and always gets more criticism than he deserves. If he wasn't playing, we'd have conceded another 6-8 goals, easily.
O'Meara - he was absolutely prolific and if there is anything positive to take from the injury to Mitchell, it's that it will give Jaeger the opportunity to step up and make people take notice.
Shiels - appeared to just be going through the motions. Not of concern though, yet anyway.
Puopolo - had a very uninspiring game, very uncharacteristic for him.
Ceglar - had a massive game and has to easily be the best 2nd ruck in the league. Would be better than half the league's 1st choice ruckmen.
McEvoy - played well, although not to his usually high standard.
Stratton - barely noticed him to be honest. Hopefully just an off game, because we need him firing and marshalling that backline.
Henderson - looked very, very sharp and just hope that once Scully is fit, we still have a place for him in the side. Rarely plays a bad game.
Smith - had a night to forget, played with no sense of urgency and that play on attempt at goal was near unforgivable. Will bounce back without a doubt.
Burgoyne - played well and moving him forward could very well prove to be a masterstroke. It may even extend his career by another 2-3 years, which would be fantastic.

I can't wait to see what difference the additions of Birchall, Gunston, Scully and Wingard make to the dynamic and performance of the team.

Did you actually get to watch the game?

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

If JOM gets a good run at it for the rest of his career, he could very well be in contention for being one of the best handful of midfielders to ever play for our club. Unreal talent.

Would prefer clubs to be able to focus on someone else though. Mitchell's injury could hinder JOM's health, if you know what I mean.

 

[Pessimistic]

Hawks will attempt to manage games tempo to help cover for our lack of movers in their prime. We didn’t really see that in JLT, just arranged it so each player got 2 to 2 1/2 games of practice

Whether 6 6 6 interferes with that we won’t know until we see it

We were doing that in the glory years anyway. “Red time” was designed to cover for blokes like Hodge who would run out of gas. He would call it a lot.

 

[threesixpio]

Really enjoyed watching the game. To the point where I'll do player by player:

O'Meara - what an absolute beast had the better of Martin when he was on. 36 possessions in limited gametime is ridiculous. This guy is a beast. That goal was never in doubt.

Shiels - was just role playing. Getting miles into his legs. Lacked intensity.

Henderson - Looked really sharp. Really sharp. Wonder if having Scully around will force him to lift a gear?

Roughead - seemed like a lighter man. Got to the spots, read the ball. Jumped at it. Kicked straight. More of that please.

Smith - Did some really good things. That play on goal was terrible though. Preseason game, sure, but there are kids in the team that need to see the senior players doing the basic stuff extremely well.

Sicily - cruised. Was still head an shoulders above everyone.

Worpel - loved the work this guy puts in. People are too harsh on his disposal. He gets it in the guts. That mark in teh goal square was brilliant. Stuff of legends.

Cousins - always thought this guy had the right stuff, but last year thought I was wrong. He's loving the extra responsibility. With O'Meara, Shiels and Wingard around him properly (instead of just a quarter and a half) he'll be great.

Hardwick: cruised and lifted a bit in the last quarter. Wasn't up to his best.

Burgoyne - Showed some signs of pure brilliance and class, especially when we were on top. Head and shoulders above everyone.

Breust: sheesh. Forget that performance. That was terrible.

Frawley: Blanketed Riewodlt. Put in a very similar performance to Roughy at the other end. Was great to see. If he can do this regularly then we are in much better shape.

Impey - this guy has the support of the coaching staff and is now playing like it. Don't know, but I get the sense he either wasn't used well at Port or they didn't treat him well. He's in for a big sesason.

Puopolo: Looks fit but really didn't impact the game. Not sure what his role was.

McEvoy: Looked sharp but really wasn't clunking anything. Cobwebs I reckon.

Ceglar: There's something about Ceglar. Could be seriously good. He's not there yet but he's building.

Lewis - What a great first quarter! How much we've needed a player like this! I'm very impatient for his next 50 games, because there will be some dips in form that affect the whole side - but this guy is good.

Nash - horror night really - completely ineffectual.

Hanrahan - Honestly only noticed him in one play. It was neat work. Needs time.

Morrison - really neat player. Good tackling. Needs solid bodies around him to really shine.

Scrimshaw - This was the big surprise for me. Absolutely ripping first quarter. I want him in the side permanently. Really like what he brings.

Moore Really didn't notice him

Timbo - nah, sorry Timbo. Not a good night. Others have covered that enough.

Mirra - Fair way off it.

I agree with the Frawley and Roughy comments. Thought that the bookends we’re both nailing their positions really well.

Interesting to think of who comes out for Wingard, Scully and Birch...and maybe even Schoenmakers

I only watched the second half (unfortunately). Thought that McEvoy rested back more often than he usually does?

 

[COKEandCOLA]

Did you actually get to watch the game?

Yeah mate, I got to finally sit down and watch it.

It's just been a crazy busy couple of days.

Watch the first half, Lewis was playing st Shoey 2015 Gf level.

 

[Dewnior]

her and that curly haired maggot continually shaft us

McInerney ? Yep, keep going; Meredith, Razor, Rosebury...

Ryan and Stevic are the best of a really biased bad bunch

 

[TheFourPillars]

We have red time structures and they differ depending on whether we were in front. Yes hodge would call it. Nothing to do with shielding our players more about winning the game.

 

[Dewnior]

So, are Howe and Schoey injured? Haven't been mentioned in the Bupa reports.

 

[Randy Campbell]

Have Roughy and Chip become uncooked.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Another interesting stat was Worpel had first touch from stoppages 11 times, most on the ground. O'Meara only 4

 

[Gralin]

Schoey played for box hill yesterday

 

[Davo23]

Have Roughy and Chip become uncooked.

Rough cut cooked chips are a treat.

Hope we see lots of them this year.

What's D.Howe status ?

 

[Gralin]

What's D.Howe status ?

Don't know, he's not playing footy so imagine he has a niggle or two

 

[threesixpio]

Daniel Howe was recently subpoenaed in the Russian collusion investigation.

He was last seen running down the Hadron collider.

It’s fishy I’ll admit

Take a hit for that one Rusty.

Wonder what flavor lepton he'd make as particle soup?

 

[MasterSamurai]

Love our supporters when we lose. Earth off it’s axis. Yea, I’m alright, mate.

 

[amofootyfan]

Hi board. Unfortunately i didnt get to watch the game but i have 3 questions i would like answered.

1. Does Lewis have more than potential to be the big contested mark up forward that we have been lacking for several years? We have tried several over the years but i hope someone finally can give us that. I would be happy with 2 goals a game so long as we dont become top heavy.
2. Does Scrimshaw have more than the potential to be the intercept marking run off half back we have lost since Gibbo retired and Birch has been out injured?
3. Does pop get a game with a fit Wingard/Scully?

 

[threesixpio]

Watched it all finally. Birch will be a while. Pre Birch this is my best 22:

Stratton Frawley Hardwick
Impey Sicily Scrimshaw

Scully O’Meara Smith
Worpel Shiels McEvoy

Bruest Gunstan Burgoyne
Wingard Roughead Lewis

Cousins Puopolo Morrison Henderson

Maybe Lewis out for Cegs or Schoey
