What a stupid time to play.

No A Moore or Shoe. Will carry two over as well I reckon. Talent starting to look a bit this even at VFL level. Pies not much chop though.
BHH by 23.

That time would suit Collingwood and its supporters and that is all that matters to the AFL.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

After losing to Richmond last week and managing just a draw against the Bulldogs the week before, the Hawks are back on the road with a crunch match against the Magpies and will look to bounce back strongly to shore up a spot in the top eight, with the Hawks currently sitting seventh on the ladder, a game out of top four and only half a game clear of ninth.

The Magpies haven't had the best start to their season, winning just one of their first six matches, to sit third last on the ladder with a paltry percentage of 76%. But the Hawks would do well not to take their opponents lightly, given the implications of a loss for the reigning premiers.

Like the Hawks, the Magpies lost last weekend, going down by seven points to the Cats in a battle of two bottom half teams, while the week before, they suffered a one point loss at home to the Zebras. Their only win for the season so far came in round 1, when they held the Coburg Lions scoreless in the last quarter and kicked 3.3.21 to overturn an 18 point deficit at three quarter time into a three point victory.

[Bumpswithagrin]

Perfect time for a game of footy for mine, 2pm on a Saturday arvo... oh wait.

Was thinking of going to this game but the predicted rain, the clash with Hawthorn and the lack of Schoenmakers is putting me off.

Eight rounds in and I have only managed to get to one game so far. Neverthless... GO STANGERS!!!

 

[savagelunchbox]

BHH have played better when there's been time and/or location clashes.

It's not as bad as it seems.

[grumbleguts]

Collingwood kicked 7 unanswered goals between the 18 minute mark of the 3rd and the 15 minute mark of the last. Tough to win a game when that happens.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Ross with goals again. Wouldn't mind seeing him and Gunners in the same side.

High stats for Rough - anyone go - what role did he play?

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Gee Brand is in form.

 

[Dewnior]

Gee Brand is in form.

Has Brand been re-invented as a (very) tall midfielder or was the game played mostly in our defensive arc

 

[stemline]

18 marks today for Brand.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Ross is really starting to stake a claim for a debut if he continues to hit the scoreboard.

 

[Brishawk]

Ross is really starting to stake a claim for a debut if he continues to hit the scoreboard.

I’m a big fan but I don’t think his body is ready for afl. Let him develop at box hill and get another preseason into him. I feel patience with him will be rewarded.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Has Brand been re-invented as a (very) tall midfielder or was the game played mostly in our defensive arc

Hasn't seen any midfield time to date and assume yesterday was the same. Very competent intercept and contested mark now. Plus assume there was a bit of chipping it round up back.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

He isn't quite ready but just might be smart enough to survive. Hope he gets a few games this season.

 

[Easy Slips Catch]

Ross plays like a young Bruest. Just gets to where the footy is a week before anyone else. Leads like Gunner but nowhere near as strong.

That is a bad loss. Pies have had an ordinary season. Our lack of ball winning mids is killing us. Howie finds it but has almost zero hurt. the problem is in the VFL he playing as an accumulator, if he gets promoted he will play in a run with role.

For all those Meadows fans, Woodward is a better player.

 

[number23]

>>Leads like Gunner but nowhere near as strong.

Built like Gunner and kicks a little like him also. The leading will come with time..

 

[TheFourPillars]

He isnt as agile or as quick as gunner but everything else fits

 

[Baz_hawk]

I’m a big fan but I don’t think his body is ready for afl. Let him develop at box hill and get another preseason into him. I feel patience with him will be rewarded.

Whilst I agree he's undersized I think a couple of games at the senior level just to give him a taste would really benefit him going into another preseason. I look at Lewis who played 2 games last year and went away in the off season and worked his arse off to get more senior games as a good example. Obviously can't say for sure this is what drove him but I'd be surprised if those two games wasn't a huge motivator to improve and get that extra size on quick smart to fast track his career.

 

[Pessimistic]

Rough wasn’t exactly your orthodox forward through his career I wonder if the can teach Nash some tricks while they play together?

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

Will Brand be poached by another club if he isn't given opportunities in the firsts.
