Game Day Round 5, 2021: Hawthorn v Melbourne MCG 3.20pm Sun 18th April

[Strapping Young Lad]

Worst 5-0 team of all time Melbourne. Will get destroyed by the Tiges.

Similar feeling to when they run over the top of us in that final a few years back with JOM in the stands and Tom with a busted wing in the first.

They went to Perth and got smacked the following week.

 

[Lickmesocks]

A hell of a lot of those frees have been very questionable to be fair to him

Do you think the umps hate Frosty?

 

[westhawk]

Feel sorry for the boys now
Worked so hard all day and now it’s a drubbing

Don’t feel bad for them, they have thrown in the towel.

 

[LMGjr]

Do we have a game plan.

Hahhahahahahaha it's clarkos fault we are simply not good enough.

Geez - he's got 4 medals mate because when we are good enough he knows how to coach it.

Either that or he is/us the supporters, is/are the luckiest people in the world.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Lol. It's the same rubbish as last year with some extra telegraphed switches thrown. Even if you believe that, despite it evidently not being provable, we obviously don't have the cattle.

Our want to use the middle is significantly more to last year, it's actually very obvious.

 

[Siri]

Ummm ... anybody bagging Gawn, Melbourne or any other team atm should realise how foolish your comments look right about now. We are broken in most aspects of the game.

 

[killerspud]

I wouldn't mind being a bad 5-0 team tbh

I'd rather know you had a serious chance at a flag than being being the complete pretenders the demons are and will be.

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

Can we please please PLEASE end this Nash experiment. Not to stick the boots in as he's not the only one, we are in a deep dark hole at present. but fu** me can anyone tell me what he brings to the side. He's just never been an A.F.L quality player and we persist with him constantly

His last chance is as a defender. One in hundred shot but his only hope.

 

[Mercy Seat]

Exactly, could/should 4-1, 3-2 at worst.

Team selection is another story - massive contributor to outcomes

You can keep trying to polish a turd with selection of fringe players. The reality is it makes no difference. We are 4-5 elite players away and they just don’t exist on our list.

 

[Max Powers]

Onya Big Boy!

 

[daniel23]

If howe , Nash and obrien are in the team next week I won't be watching

 

[Endorphin Machine]

how badly have we fallen away?
couldnt stick marks in the forward line, especially Kosi. I like his work off the ball but hes just got to grab them otherwise we have two o briens.
midfield exposed again.

 

[westhawk]

Yes put your team mates under as much pressure as possible and kick it real high inside 50.

At,least we are following it well then, as that is our strongest part of our game.

 

[LMGjr]

Jaegar kick to O'Brien 20m out. If you're thinking of that one, re-watch it because he grabs his arm down.

I'm sure he was blocked and totally free to prefection, so much so he just bloody dropped it. But I can't watch a reply or bother - it's all good.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Midfield being overrun in the last. Structurally we have fallen apart and missed some easy tackles. Not sure you take much out of the last quarter. Feels a lot like our first quarters the past few weeks.

 

[Brant]

Pack it in now then hey, f**k the rest of the season?

Don't even bother trying to get the structure right?

 

[LMGjr]

Do you think the umps hate Frosty?

One word answer: YES

 

[JoeHawk]

So what’s this years draft looking like?

 

[grumbleguts]

Pickett drops it three times and gets a free.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

His last chance is as a defender. One in hundred shot but his only hope.

He's not getting a go as a defender. He does not deserve it.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Pickett just dives forward and throws the ball......

 

[PenAndPaper]

Pickett should have gotten a free for holding, but instead they pay in the back which wasn't there...comical.

Edit* I sitll think it was a Pickett freekick against us for holding him.

 

[grumbleguts]

This game could rival the bulldogs round 2 2019 game which cost us a finals berth.

 

[Roddy]

Do you think the umps hate Frosty?

He wears a Hawthorn jumper.

 

[hk89]

Fitting if the last goal from Melbourne is from another incorrect umpiring decision.
