Review R14: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Hawthorn Hawks

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

It's been pleasing to see Berry handle the ball cleanly again.

I don't know what happened last year. Out of nowhere had a cake-of-soap month.

 

[CrowBloke]

Impey had a perfect game? I agree he was BOG but 10 votes?

Uhhh ... I think BoG gets 5 votes from both Coaches and 5 + 5 = 10.

 

[CrowBloke]

Where is Keays?

OUT and about, running somewhere, probably. Yes, in this weather .

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Of course you're confused. Nobody loves a loss - we just hate having similar losses every time

But keep puffing your chest out about or offence

been pretty good hasn't it ?

the smart thing to do would be to ignore it and instead focus on one game in tassie when it was 4 degs and mitchell had parked the bus

the main thing wrong with fri was our forward lines inability to convert

who really cares when you don't celebrate wins anyway, should feel the same re winning and losing

Some people critique the win, some dry hump everything, but everyone enjoys a win

Shoulda probably flexed with the tough guy comeback

Nah not everyone

 

[Jeffcrowe]

This will be a good week for feenix67 to flex his muscles as with the bye this week , he will have 2 full weeks to misinterpret champion data stats without Daniel Hoyne refuting him next week given no game

Who would have thought an oppo coach would crowd our area of strength. Ground breaking, surely not foreseeable in, say, a coaches meeting. No wonder we didn't react to it, this was a tactic never seen before.

I guess pulling a small out instead of a tall on a cold slippery night was somehow trying to address it...

Easiest just to point to the obvious -inaccuracy - and move on, right?

 

[cleanhands]

Nah not everyone

Can you name them, happy for you to aswell Mutineer

You're not blind, shouldn't be that hard to work out.

 

[cleanhands]

You're not blind, shouldn't be that hard to work out.

Perhaps I just see it differently to some

Yeah learn and move on is best

No point giving up is there

So we win with a tall off ? Do you know that for sure ?

At least we know for sure if we kicked straighter and don’t miss gettable shots we win

Haven't tagged you once sweetie

 

[cleanhands]

Haven't tagged you once sweetie

Don’t turn this into a Mills & Boone it’ll make for boring reading

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Haven't tagged you once sweetie

shhh dont tell Jeffcrowe that, you'll ruin his bliss

wrong ( again )

 

[feenix67]

wrong ( again )

Dammit!

It's thinking like this that stops us from becoming that elite team.

All's forgiven, we nearly beat a team we historically lose to most of the time.

Yay.

How come it’s taken you this long to post on the game?

You saw Murphy selected and it was nothing.

You saw Nicks sub Pedlar instead of a tall and it’s nothing.

You saw us effectively drop from top scoring team to 4th and it’s nothing. That’s quite an achievement given how many points we racked up in the first 3 weeks.

Oh, the old inability to convert. Is that what you focused on when we were lucky to beat Brisbane, their inability to convert?

 

[George CantStandYa]

At least we know for sure if we kicked straighter and don’t miss gettable shots we win

lol, so you’re suggesting keeping 3 talls in those conditions was the sensible move?

Just like Port and Brisbane against us. Remember how up and about you were when anyone mentioned we were lucky to beat Brisbane due to their inaccuracy?

Seriously Jeff, your posting has turned to garbage. Stick to the juniors

Buckley and Lewis dissected us pretty well on On The Couch tonight.

Said that we've become too much a down the line team. Aren't changing the angles enough.

Also pointed out that Walker and Fogarty are both better "fat side players" which means they benefit from switches as there's space to lead into. Thilthorpe is our only down the line clunker.

Our record vs top 8 clubs ("contenders") was brought up.

Buckley said that we're too worried about turnovers against the better teams which is why we go down the line so often. Timid.
