Autopsy Rd 9 - If only games went for 1 quarter aka Still the Hawks bunnies

[Bell Ringer]

SaCk everyone!

 

[BeijingBlue]

On-field leadership non-existant. Too many players too soft mentally. They break supporters' hearts.

 

[Pablito]

For those wanting to sink the boots in, just remember this is the same team you spoke glowingly about last week, and the week before, and the week before...get your cool and try to take a deep breath before you hit ‘send’

Who spoke glowingly about them last week? We played one quarter last week and hung on against the second worst team in the comp....

 

[kingkingston]

Cripps plays well and he gets no help, in other weeks when he has been down, the team has played well. One of these weeks they will all click together

 

[SOSforPM]

Looked really lethargic again!

Bounce of the ball went the hawks way a fair bit after quarter time.

We desperately need some genuine speed on all lines.

Let the usual suspects have a few days to vent

Off you go gang

 

[gandaal]

Yeah that was awful. Too many basic skill errors.

Astonishing that this is the same team that beat the Dogs.

 

[kingkingston]

I'm just going to say it...................Teague is not a good defensive coach

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

Did Teague actually say we played well last week?

Massively concerning ...

 

[NumberEight]

Disposals:
Walsh 12
Gibbons 12
Kennedy 11
Setterfield 8
SPS 8
Newnes 6
Cunningham 4

Disposal isnt everything, but thats our midfield right there. How many passengers do you want?

 

[Metalcrusher]

Good lord, I know you are all hurting, but * me, you all stuck with us 20 years .... a couple more games couldn't hurt yeah?

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Cripps... love him. But needs to kick clutch goals. Tough game across the board after the 1st 15 minutes.

 

[yibbida]

No way we play finals. ..

 

[Christou2Kouta]

Whoever gets dropped from this match will really be the scapegoat(s). There's no one individual to blame for that performance, there was just a general lack of composure demonstrated by the whole team. Everyone was fumbling, everyone was making bad decisions, everyone was missing targets, everyone was positioned poorly.

A couple of people will obviously get the chop but generally you have to back people to redeem themselves next week. We've shown that we're capable of much better than that.

Get off your high horse.

 

[Curnowhan]

So disappointing. Need to play 4 quarters, not 1. We have lost too many “8 point games” this year to play finals- Melbourne, Saints, Hawks- all winnable games, and our three worst performances of the season

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

We don't have enough reserve players fit for the amount I want to drop based on todays game.

 

[FRUMPY]

As predictable as the sun rising tomorrow. Lucky to win last week and found out today. Mentally weak club and has been for way too long

Are we finally waking up to the fact Newnes is terrible? Kicks 2 goals , 1 of which was pure luck, and does nothing else. As a winger..

He wasn't the only one but my gosh I want to hear someone defend his game. Anyone?

Oh come on, there were plenty much worse then newnes

 

[marcjudd]

Why play Moore/ setterfield 1kick /plowman is a joke / sps joke / McKay overated/ until we accept these players are poor no top 8 for us

 

[MacTosh]

Doc needs a break. 2 years off and shorter quarters, he’ll come good. Cripps and Martin were the leaders who kept trying to step up, 2 people is not enough.

SPS is one of my favourite players but he needs to be so much more aggressive. He hopes for space and luck in the contest but should be worrying on getting the ball, making it messy and doing some damage.

 

[mochacinolatte]

Guess we can book a win against West Coast they we are travelling.

 

[BeijingBlue]

Christ, take a breath folks. It’s a bitterly disappointing performance. Bitterly. But It’s a peformance by an inconsistent side. I.e. 9th-13th. Don’t get ahead of yourself. We have a long way to go. We’ll get there. We are where we’re supposed to be.

I agree in part with you but... there is something not right in the club.

 

[Arr0w]

Get off your high horse.

Go on, vent, let rip

 

[Opine]

No ... not quite , the more experienced coach ... look what Sir Al did after quarter time, look at the match ups.

Unfortunately, you're correct. That was a coaching lesson.
