Game Day Round 1 2014 - Hawthorn v Brisbane

[a mayes ing]

Mitchel broke through 2 tackles at once. ****en embarrassing

 

[PTizzle]

Can't stick a bloody tackle.

Was hoping we could get it under 40.

 

[Dylan12]

Leuy has been disappointing.

So has Redden. Has been very much the plodder for the past season and a half.

 

[whatboutbob]

Not fit enough- many, even most, have stopped running. Lester embarrassing in this regard but not the only one by any means. Even Green looks shot.

Playing rope-a-dope with no forward line will do that to you.

 

[a mayes ing]

this could be a 60 point hiding. Taylor hasnt been that good....

 

[jackess]

Way down on possessions in the end.

 

[pulpdriver]

All came down to the forward entries. Poor entry and lack of movement or movement to the wrong spot from our forwards. Dysfunctional up forward. I've got a feeling that's going to be a recurring theme this year. Criticizing anything else would really be just nitpicking. Scoreline doesn't do the performance justice and it's extremely disappointing that it blew apart.

 

[Schache It Off]

We given up

 

[PTizzle]

Woeful. Too painful but happy to hear that we fought hard.

 

[pulpdriver]

Way down on possessions in the end.

Wow, it didn't feel like that large a discrepancy.

 

[Dylan12]

As good as we have been in patches, we also resemble a D-grade bloody amateur side for the most part.

 

[patfullfankezz]

This is so unfair. But it's our own fault.

 

[Monkey Daniel]

Appears that have more players on the ground, just running all over us now

 

[jackess]

Backline not working as well as it did under Voss......

 

[patfullfankezz]

I'm glad we're still kicking goals to the end though. We haven't completely given up.

 

[Haso]

Yeah, of course Hawthorn's draw is easier than ours. They don't have to play Hawthorn even once.

 

[pulpdriver]

Backline not working as well as it did under Voss......

They're having to adjust to a new game plan. Seems prone to be hurt with turnovers during the adjustment period.

 

[Schache It Off]

Frustrating.

 

[James North]

Hahaha you guys are the funniest ever.

 

[patfullfankezz]

Proud of the effort. Once we have the skill level and polish required, I'd say the rest of the AFL is screwed.

 

[PTizzle]

Horrible last quarter but we still lost by less than I'd expected!

Need a few blokes to really step up. McGuane up forward will help the structure a heap.

 

[GumbyRules]

Im not totally surprised with the result. I think we showed some promising signs.. Remember we just played the reigning premiers.

 

[Toffee Lion]

In contrast to the Dogs game last year round 1.

We didn't play so bad, we went up against the Premiers and they played like it.

To good in the end.

 

[Monkey Daniel]

Glad that's over..big margin but some good efforts over the game, just couldn't keep it up.

 

[matwt73]

They were a 5 goal better team so losing by 8 is a bit dissapointing. Some good signs though. And we are ahead of Collingwood.
