Good to see the bye work in our favour this week. Not a good performance, but makes the 67-point win all the sweeter.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Nice boring win, could of been alot larger but fixed our %.

Mac was nice, Flanders impressive, Nice to see Oea's family in the song too!

Onto the next

Fiorini Flanders Atkins showing how good it is to have VFL level depth

Weller being subbed out was tactical or safe option I'm assuming?

Both. Got his minutes in, we were pumping them, no need to risk him.

As frustrating as Mac Andrew can be at times you can really see why they persist with him. Great to see fiorini and Flanders play well, fiorini really stood up early when others were struggling. Makes you wonder who touk replaces.

Pick any one of them and it will be an improvement

 

[SandyToes]

My main question is: Why can't Fiorini do that every week?

I think Bray is marked a little more harshly than most
He's been fine all season

Not bad, 3 trips to Heritage, 3 wins.

Maybe some people should wait commenting until half time.

Basically, after slow start, when we shook off bye blues and warmed up the engine, Hawks were no match for us. They looked like us last week. That was 100+ win written all over it if we did not butcher a lot of opportunities.

Funnily enough, whipping boys here recently had a good game. Watching from crowd, Rosas seemed working hard and put some decent pressure on together with Ace.

Atkins impressed me with his decisions, kicks. He belongs finally.

I enjoyed watching class of Ballard, Powell, Lukosius.

As for VFL, Hollands still does not impress me. Not sure what he is doing. Johnston on the other hand excited me.

One thing I noticed tonight was how often King or Casboult would fly with Luko for the same mark 20m out and get in each others way.

I appreciate Luko is spending more time inside 50 and working on his forward craft, but we are so clearly at our most dangerous when we are funnelling the ball through him at half-forward with King 1v1 doing his thing in the square, rather than our mids bombing it from all parts of the ground to the 2 of them going for the one mark. So much less predictable as well.

Plenty we can fix even after a 10 goal win.

Luko scored 26 goals so far and if he was more accurate, he could be even/ahead of King (33). Personally, I give him more credit for his forward role/craft. Today, I noticed watching live he run into open spaces beautifully.

My main question is: Why can't Fiorini do that every week?

Because he played essentially 74% of the game in the midfield today (attended 74% of CBs).

Was averaging 13% a game before today, with only 2 above 30%.

Darcy Parish is no better than him.

Probably b/c he is a pretty forgettable player.
Even Sam Mitchell has forgotten him a few times.
Lots of touches and marks today, plenty of metres gained, some intercept marks, but not much influence on the game and no forceful plays.
67 inside 50's and zero tackles.

 

[Supersuns]

Interesting that Noah only had 11 centre bounce attendances. Played a lot on the wing and starting forward. I wonder if that's going to be a higher rotation going forward? Would solve our wing issue but is it taking too much out of our midfield?

 

[Big Red Machine]

I've got a good feeling about this

I missed a home game against Hawthorn in 2017 due to needing to be at a State Comp Event.

We'd just been pantsed the week before and it was looking pretty gloomy, Low and behold we ended up flogging them by 86 points.

We'll guess who can't make it today due to another event...

MANIFEST THIS WIN

Not if Flanders comes on like expected. He played well today and has been exceeding expectations in the VFL
If you believe what Dew said in his presser then Touk might be back in the next two to three weeks.
Midfield should look pretty good

 

[Emerald Sun]

Well done BRM. Miss all the rest as well if you don't mind

Even though he got some possessions I didn't even notice him until late in the third.
I couldn't be bothered at that stage.
Bedwetter

This is what I told SUNS when he tried to get me to come to Darwin.

I better serve the team not being present

Ned played well I have to admit. With him and Rowell as the first possession winners handing it to a Touk or Noah as a receiver gives our midfield a much nicer balance. Hopefully Ned comes along as that ball winner he has shown in the VFL.
Generated some drive with his legs out of contests on more than one occasion yesterday as well, never seen that before from him at AFL level.

Putting Ned and Bray in against a fairly pedestrian Hawthorn midfield was a great move.Gives them confidence.Different story vs Collingwood on the weekend though

Fiorini was also very good.

Goes to show if you play these guys in their preferred position, they might actually do something.

Mac Andrew, a cheeky rising star nomination perhaps? Didn't see much footy this weekend, don't know who else played well.
