Game Day Round 2, 2024: Hawthorn v Melbourne, MCG 4.35pm

[RhinotheFC]

Get ready for a murder. This is diabolical.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

If you are going to put your hand up as a designated kicker, hit the *en target for *ssafe

 

[earthworms]

Help

 

[Baz_hawk]

This has been a terrible quarter so far. Just look stagnant.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Oliver goes down very easily

 

[Dazza the Viking]

No midfield and moving the ball slow going to be a long day

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Very concerning start - ball movement all over the shop

Nah, Melbourne is on.
We aren't blazing away and giving a quick turn over

 

[Kuuz]

Feels like we're trying to avoid long out kicks to avoid engaging their talls, but our overall quality is not good enough to play the precise kicking style.

We duff up one eventually in very slow chains, and it all falls apart as Melbourne rip past us on turnover.

This is already looking really ugly.

Our mids getting massacred again at the minute.

 

[Glenhope]

Playing like is 2004 again.

 

[Max Powers]

Real poo pants quarter this is.

 

[Cleavy]

Bounced it crooked, everyone stops expecting a recall. Play on.

We are not in the contest today.

 

[SSSSSS]

Any chance our boys can stop getting out muscled at every contest?

 

[Bugs1977]

If we keep playing like this then Hawthorn player fantasy scores are going to be ridiculous. Seriously though I would much rather we play off of instinct rather than this crap.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

This is looking horrendous early.
Stagnant movement, all these little marks doing nothing for us.
They’re picking us off when we inevitably cough it up around half back.

 

[Billyc]

This is dreadful on every level

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Soft footy, no body contact

Rubbish

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Play stopped

This game is a joke

 

[Birdofprey]

4 tackles to 18 - we need to pressure them more when they got the footy

 

[CHUBBSS]

Watching it live at the Ground I have to say I am struggling to determine what our game plan is today?

Very stagnant footy.

Thought the same last week, for a side that’s suppose to run we don’t really create much of said runs just wait for the kicker to move and react

 

[Max Powers]

I mean this is just sad.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Watching it live at the Ground I have to say I am struggling to determine what our game plan is today?

Very stagnant footy.

Keepings off

 

[Kuuz]

Mitch backed in the same team, but at this rate, Mitch is going to cull the entire lot for next week - based on 1st quarter efforts.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Whenever there's a contest they're just better than us. We're going in, having a crack but they're just way cleaner and better.

 

[A1fromDay1]

This is embarrassing

Worst qtr I've seen from us in a long time

 

[MadDawg]

There's the real Frosty
