Review Round 21 = Hawthorn 105-73 Collingwood

[Carringbush2010]

Turnovers
Kicking in general was terrible.

Because the opposition pressured us into doing so, like the 45 deg kicks into corridor they pressured us into errors, same with our run / handball game.

Sometimes we would play a quarter or two and win it from there. But when was the last time we played a full 4 quarters? Not in a while, thats for sure.

Because our game style is so taxing it cannot be sustained all game, let alone week in week out. Much like 2018.

The irony is we'll likely need to play that game style - all game - to win finals, confidence is low.

Murphy will be a loss. But Frampton will come in.

That doesn't give much confidence.

Daicos is fine Murphy will be fine. Murphy will be fine for finals

Gee, your posts have aged badly DW...

and what have we learned from this?

 

[doofdoof]

A debut for Allan would be good to see and might lift the side.

Yep. Should have debuted against West Coast. Carmichael and Fin should have played too.

Pendles, Adams and/or Mitchell should have stayed at home

Wishful thinking? I know I had my fingers crossed it wasn't that bad.

I heard fly say a knock, the sense was it wasn't that serious. I effed up

Our Mids are the Plod Squad at the Moment

This reads like hope, I think we all hope that, but it's clear most of us doubt it.

Why? Because regardless of ladder position you shouldn't flirt with form, so it's doubtful this is intended from the mc.

Flirting with form is the norm for Flag winners in every season - so the facts don’t support your view.

Umm ok, you said it! Don't go deleting it now!

 

[Carringbush2010]

It's not good when you see players arguing, i seem to remember Bruz have a go at one of our fwds as well.

Beau was fierce, i want to see Beau in the centre a bit more.

It was Cameron that Bruz sprayed for not contesting the Reeves mark and subsequent goal.

We've all done it DW. Pity about the injuries though. Damn. Why now? Why Daicos!? Murphy too is important though I think we can cover.

The footy gods hate us.

Was there - complete waste of time - we were beyond appalling - minor consolation was semi-reasonable hot jam donuts post game. We fitted the "retro round" very well - played like the worst of the NCB era.

Played like the Tony Shaw era

Thanks, i was trying to remember who it was.

 

[jerry springer]

N.Daicos knee knock.
Murphy light sindimosis strain.
Mitchell massive bleed/corky in right quad.

Many thanks, hopefully none too serious by the sounds of it

Nick's out for at least 6 weeks with a hairline fracture on his knee

 

[Captivating]

Yeah, but never mind that Sicily is the most dominant intercept defender in the AFL….

Remember when we were laughing at Carlton letting Moore intercept everything. Oh how the Karma Bus hits hard

Laughing at Carlton is never wrong.

Not to nag put players, but does any of you think all these in season contract extensions distract the players from what they need to be focused on? I never liked it from the get-go. I have seen many players drop their form after signing their contract. It might be a psychological thing, I dont know. Why can't they do these in the off season?

I feel like it's damned if you, damned if you don't. If you don't extend a player and their form drops, would people speculate that it's because of the uncertainty?

When he was in there in the last quarter the waltzing stopped and he got his hands on it both for a clearance and a dead ball, hence he did in fact change the timbre of the game.
Hawks went from having their way with our nominal set up to losing and breaking even.
Problem was the game was all but over.

He also got involved in general play a few times, given the limited minutes I'd suggest his impact was noticeable.

We had dead balls while he wasn’t there, none of them changed the waltzing or the timbre of the game. Happy for you to think otherwise. He gets involved in general play when playing high HF. One of his tackles at CHB he ran from contest to contest all the way from F50.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Our boys blew a golden opportunity to make it a 3 game buffer.
Fly is always talking about qualifying - well, the chance to do exactly that went begging.

With the % difference and Port’s lose, we still effectively have a 3 game buffer

 

[Mollythedolly]

Front on contact with no eyes for the ball and now our jet is out for 6 weeks because of it

LATE front on contact at that.

 

[TW Sherrin]

People talking proudly about leaving at 3QTR time in a season we've won more games than any other team. The most fair weather of supporters you could ever meet. If we win next weekend the same people will be talking about how much they love the club. Before the season people were saying Collingwood were not going to make finals. Look at us now. We will prove them wrong again.

Who cares.. pay your money do what you want.

I had a hairline fracture of my elbow and it healed in a couple of weeks

Players have little involvement other giving a thumbs up/down to their manager and signing the contract I’d assume.
