Game Day Round 1, 2023: Hawthorn v Essendon, MCG 3.20pm

[Dewnior]

Junk time goals

 

[Kuuz]

My advice: follow Ange Postecoglu's Celtic boys in tandem with the Hawks. Helps soothe the wounds of a young side

 

[hawkguru]

I have a mini bottle of Yamazaki 12 that i was going to kill if we won.

That's a good drop I say polish that off tonight

 

[SSSSSS]

Kayo at $30/month is seeming like a massive ******* rort if the Hawks continue this form

I'm pretty sure meth is a healthier and cheaper method of self destruction at this point.

Nash showed something since coming on.

 

[OnTheRocks]

It's a long year and we will have off games. We will play better than this. Just a mare and young boys who don't know how to steer the ship back on track.

Our seniors need to show the way

 

[Kuuz]

I mean, I'd still say our 80 point loss to Gold Coast a few years ago was far worse.

If anything, having a mare in the first 5 rounds of the season is tradition at this point.

Drain the poison and take the positives. We go again!

I'm pretty sure meth is a healthier and cheaper method of self destruction at this point.

I've already watched every single Houston Rockets game this season. My brain is going to break 100%

Ward, Worpel and Nash can hold their heads high

Nash …..wtf

 

[Rob R]

Anyone get the names of the kids behind the goals who ran off with the Sherrins, I think they got more metres gained than most of our guys.

At least McKenzie, Ward, Cmac gave us glimpses of a positive future. Thought Blanck was okay as well.

I know we have limits on how high we can go, but we do need to have a limit on how low we go.

Theres no excuse for not doing the basics and doing them well.

The education continues.

 

[Dewnior]

Nash …..wtf

Showed more heart than half the team when he came on

 

[lethalselbow]

Wingers better not be injured again.

Had a look that said easy come, easy go! Really needs to be told to do all things that got him recruited.

 

[mknaven]

I think the first quarter showed we are capable of playing good footy and being competitive. Since then however, we have looked lazy, dysfunctional and completely disconnected across all lines. I honestly think the bombers have been made to look a lot better than they are because of just how bad we've been since quarter time.

Ball use has been terrible, a lot of overlap handballs into dead ends and lots of looking at each other whilst the ball gets moved with ease around us.

The competition for spots is healthy however so players who are poor should be sent back to Box Hill

This is what i noticed the most. We are disconnected.
We all knew we were gonna struggle to kick goals w/out Lewis up there, but our mids & fwds have no idea what the other is gonna do.

Special occasion

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Ward, Worpel, Nash and Mackenzie get a pass. Maybe MacDonald too, based on his second half.

The rest can walk home.

Bramble, Frost, Kossie to be dropped for an extended period. CJ lucky not to be dropped too.
