Game Day R3 Hawks v Dogs : Match day thread

[Next Waiting]

We have been a rotation down since 1/4 time. Need every one against the Hawks. Fatigue playing its part.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

If we can keep this under the bookies' line (53 points) I won't be too disappointed.

And just for good measure just to sum up the Hawks, Macrae gets shoved in the back as the siren goes.

 

[ivan rassmussen]

Can we reduce Hodge's impact on our games by changing the colours of his jumper?

 

[threenewpadlocks]

When you guys signed Boyd to that contract a lot of my friends thought it was terrible, but I've always thought that it was a great signing. You have to pay for a potential generational forward. When the salary cap goes up in the future years aswell due to TV rights generating more revenue, his contract in the latter years will fall more into the average range than super high.

Dom't mean to be rude but that's exactly the thing us as supporters have been trying to tell everybody else for the last 6 months, you don't need to tell us.

I haven't minded Spindles game today, his effort has been consistent which is pretty rare for him. He's tackled a bit, created contests and although his disposals been a bit shoddy he's looked to attack.

 

[fargy]

2 goals 5 to 3 goals 1, wasn't the worst quarter considering. Agree with NW really starting to fatigue by the looks.

 

[Hrovat24]

A number of players today who have had little to no impact.

The ones that are most concerning are the ones that have had no impact on regular occasions

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Also, again, don't think Cordy has been as terrible as everybody is making him out to be. Redpath would have played a worse game with intercept marks and blokes running off him, plus, Toyd would need to ruck, etc.

 

[BRWB]

Ayce's been saving himself for a monster last quarter, already better than last week, already the same amount of hitouts as Jordan Lewis and Luke Hodge combined. Twice as good as those guys. Go Ayce!!

 

[womble54]

Couldn't care less about the rest at this point. Tom Boyd has 3. That is all

 

[hutchy31]

A number of players today who have had little to no impact.

The worrying thing for me is that one of them is macrae - the kid's due the odd bad one but he's looked lost out there.

 

[More Bulldog]

If we can hold on here it's been a great effort today. With the players out we are so young playing against the dual premiers and most experienced side in the comp. loved the effort!

I'm not telling you, I'm just expressing my opinion. Yes people in the general board can be very pig headed or old school when it comes to signing players to big contracts. They think, (random number) 750k is a huge contract right now, but neglect to understand that in 3-5 years, players average wage goes up, salary cap rises etc. (Again not saying this like I'm the only one who knows this just expressing my thoughts).

 

[kelpa]

Do the umps know there is 2 teams out there

 

[fargy]

Commentary box will need a new pack of biscuits with all the soggy biscuit going on over Hodge.

Tell me about it. I'm exhausted just listening to the match.

 

[Igloo]

Poor Wallis. Gonna be a horrible plane ride back for him.

 

[grumbleguts]

Your guys have had a few free kicks going against you today, last thing you need.

 

[ivan rassmussen]

Ayce's been saving himself for a monster last quarter, already better than last week, already the same amount of hitouts as Jordan Lewis and Luke Hodge combined. Twice as good as those guys. Go Ayce!!

Is that quarter going to happen in this game? Big blokes take time, apparently. Maybe he's saving himself for a monster year... in 2018.

 

[fargy]

Stringer has been pretty good when at centre clearances.

 

[_Mike_]

Stringer 8 disposals
Goodes 3
Cordy 2
Dickson 9
Macrae 14
Crameri 11
Grant 11

We are 40+ down atm
Can you come back and discuss this mid week? And not at 3 quarter time when we are focusing on the game?

Extend Ayce now. He's great for our structure.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Gee, ya think?

I'd call it a free ride for your blokes.

 

[ivan rassmussen]

Stringer 8 disposals

Macrae 14
Crameri 11
Grant 11

So we have a player as good as Hodge - his name is Macrae-Crameri-Grant!
