Game Day Round 1, 2024: Bombers v Hawks, MCG Sat 16th March

[RoughysMullet]

Need to show something here to take into next week- can’t just roll over and get done by 6 goals

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

We're just trailing in now. They'll kick another 2 or 3 here if we don't put some work in.

 

[bungholes_premiers]

Are we the team that bends over and gives up when it's too hard?

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

Lot's of hyperventilating going on here, probably justified to an extent, but the simple fact is if we had kicked straighter, we win. 15 behinds? Game over right there.

The poor kicking is reflective of the panicky, risk-averse, low-skill tripe we've generally served up.

No midfield.

Slow.

A dumb defensive performance, and that doesn't even include Frost.

Our outs haven't helped, but we're our own worst enemies.

The real hyperventilating will come from the Dopers, who will suddenly overestimate themselves.

But if you ask killerspud it's all sunshine and rainbows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ugly last 10mins or so.

 

[Sleutheren]

Who the firetruck is in charge of goal kicking at Hawthorn? My god.

 

[dermott]

Midfield woeful

 

[Flamin Joe]

Kicking them out the backline, shanking them up forward wtf.

 

[Glenhope]

A good all-round poor performance.

 

[Hawks1994]

Couldn't hit a barn door with a handful of rice

 

[rdhopkins2]

Next 3 games.
Dees
Cats
Pies

Really needed a win today to be at least 2-2 after Rd 4 to start the season on par.

I reckon we will still win one of them though.

 

[Bremner20]

Very mediocre list with no organisation up forward , schooled by an equally as mediocre team but on today better coached .Us and WCE battling for the spoon I think .

 

[Fluro Boots]

Finn as the sub was ridiculous.

 

[Brishawk]

Lot's of hyperventilating going on here, probably justified to an extent, but the simple fact is if we had kicked straighter, we win. 15 behinds? Game over right there. Round 1 skills are usually crud.

Centre square work probably worse than the goal kicking. Bombers wouldnt be close had we won it in the centre. Frustrating loss.

Can’t forget how valuable day is to our midfield… no variety without him

Didn't cash in when we had the chance. Still a work in progress

 

[Wesley2]

please no more Maginess as sub, someone with more than one asset please

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Are we the team that bends over and gives up when it's too hard?

Yes.
Said it during covid. We have no scare factor. Noone the oppo takes notice of

 

[RoughysMullet]

Thanks block head Browny - Kosi was a spud- he’s was never providing support for Lewis

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Terrible:

• Sicily
• Lewis
• Reeves

Bad:

• Nash
• Ward
• Mackenzie
• Watson
• Weddle
• Newcombe

Baffling:

• using Maginess as a sub
• subbing Chol off

D'Ambrosio, Worpel, Ginnivan and Moore can hold their head up high. The rest can walk home.

 

[I got the outside word]

Did Chol get injured? If not, why on effin’ Earth would he have been subbed out?

 

[Hawk Vision]

Jon Brown calling out Mitch Lewis finally

 

[HedgeFund]

Learnings.

There will be learnings.

How good are learnings?

 

[grumbleguts]

Not too unhappy with this. We probably played better than them, but couldn't convert.

 

[Bugs1977]

Probably been said already but I feel Sammy got the sub choice wrong for this one
