Review R21: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Hawthorn

[cleanhands]

Good:

• Periods of Dominance from Dawson, Rankine, Keane, Tex

Bad:

• Periods of non Dominance from anyone

Ugly:

• Didn't get enough from those on the fringe of the 22. We miss Max and Rachele.

Not happy with Bonds job?

 

[Golumless]

What is the knock on Bond?

We have others getting fringe games that I wouldn't have infront of him.

The biggest problem Bond faces is we see him as a defensive small, which means he's stuck behind Max Michaelanney. He'd probably have 40 games if Max wasn't here and (sic: and Bond) seen as the second coming of Luke Brown.

GOOD
Dawson dragged us back into it
Rankine and Tex - delivered when it was needed
Curtin
Milera - back to his best. One the few who played 4 quarters
TT - just keeps clunking them
Worrell, Keane, except

BAD
Keane with a couple of bad 1 on 1s
Bond was wobbly when he had the ball
Mids, on balance, got beaten
ANB - should have had 2 or 3

UGLY
HTB - umps ignore prior when one arm is pinned
Protected area 50s - the rule is a joke and they apply it inconsistently

How good is footy, how good was the Tex interview. Enjoying the ride

And laird

Ugly: Commentators, especially Garry Lyon, sounding flat as we mounted a comeback

It was a ****ing brilliant comeback you sad sack of Vic bias

lol, I had to put up with Kornes and Bradshaw…

Ugly
Half the people on this board. Grow up. Half of ya spend more time dribbling diarrhoea on the forum than watching the game.
The sooking and blaming is embarrassing. Some of you should really be going for port.

Love the ugly. Have no idea how people are managing to be on here during the match. Watch the game. Then comment afterwards.

Curtin is a star.
Worrell and Keane great.
Thilthorpe and Texxus goals

 

[Redleg Crow]

That is a win that makes you believe.

 

[Slim258]

Good : everything, mids getting back on top, the pressure in the backline and our ability to find a goal when we need one. Was really impressed by Bond and Taylor, and I was critical on Smith all year but he was very solid.

Bad : Cook and Peatling both looked way off - hopefully nothing more than a blip.

Ugly: Stevic is unbelievable in his bias - hadn’t seen it before and looking at it after seeing a comment about it today.

 

[Danger in Texas]

 

[BunjiMac]

Unfortunately we cannot played bond,max and laird, can only play 2. Will be interesting to see what happens

Lucky for those at the game. Not so for those paying for the “privilege” and being served up that garbage. Absolutely horrific. Hudson is out of control also.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

it’s a different year, previous years we would’ve rolled over or struggle to hold on. We never gave up and showed so much fight.

 

[jbanger]

Peatling looked really off tonight. Hopefully got that one out of his system.

Looked like he was scragged a fair bit so did well considering

Lyon hates us. He's been like this all year. There is this begrudging tone to his compliments. Anything nice is said through gritted teeth.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Dan Curtin might be the most talented player we have ever drafted in our history.

 

[Footypie32]

Ugly:

We were absolutely shocking tonight when the ball went to ground after a defensive spoil. The Hawk forwards feasted on the groundball. Need to tidy that up asap.

 

[Golumless]

And laird

Nah, we've gone for half back flankers to replace Laird when we have this year. We only have one small role where we want a gun shutdown player, which is Max.

 

[WeeBlake]

What’s this bond a liability and nervous with ball in hand?
He knocked one on that he shouldn’t have, but I thought he was clean other than that and didn’t look out of place at all.

Few hand passes missed their targets

 

[Interloperer]

Walker needs to play on next year just to make it a neat 50% of his career played under calls for his retirement.

 

[Coopers]

Not happy with Bonds job?

Actually he was pretty good. Smith, Jones, Cook, Taylor not great.

 

[Corvidae]

Worrell HAS to be in the All Australian team

Agree strongly.

 

[rossi]

heck are we actually good?
G. Bond slotted in nicely. Dawson probably turns the game.
B. Umps cooked both ways.
U. Hok rushing set shots at the end. Squeaky bum time if they had landed one or two of those, given our track record of bottling 3-4 goal leads.

 

[Crowman32]

Special shout out to milera. He has had a great year. He was one of the few who kept us in the game in the first quarter and a bit.

Using it as a chance to step away from the stress of watching. I wish I had your chill.
