Game Day Round 8, 2021: Hawks v Eagles, Sunday 9th May @ 1:10pm

[Flamin Joe]

It’s depressing when you think this is the year to get some of our new draftees playing and the top two picks are both long term injuries and the other two are playing for BH.
I really need to be able to hang onto something here

Burgoyne's 400th. I hope he kicks a goal in it too for icing on the cake (if we can't get the win).

 

[Cyril says]

Tackle!!

 

[Birdofprey]

Cmon Hawkers - a big effort and lets win the last quarter!

 

[Off The Couch]

Fire the person that thought Frost is AFL standard.

eagles had about 15 inside 50’s in the first quarter - I’m not sure what more they can be doing. The pressure on our backs this season has been relentless

Are he and Hartigan our future definitely not but they certainly aren’t the worst out there

 

[theiaofseed]

Lazy defending

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

But they hit up leading targets from HB to centre wing with some cohesion.

we spend 10 minutes going around in circles and not moving anywhere

yes their structures are substantially better at the moment, but what do you expect with a team that's been contending for 4 years

Scrim starting in centre square

I’m happy for Jeka that he’s got a taste at AFL level, but he’s had only one scoring shot from two games and no impact as a forward at all. He needs to go back to the VFL.

 

[Flamin Joe]

Tackle!!

Never heard of him. Any good?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Cant miss this

 

[hawker11]

Have the shot Moore - show them you belong

 

[Max Powers]

Why not go for the shot Moore?

 

[Hawks1994]

It is worrying that they have their 2 best big defenders out and our kpfs have looked pretty average.

However out connection between our mids and forwards is the main issue.

We just lack so much class and good skills in the mids.

Yeah it's hard to look any good when your teammates ahead of you are either kicking it into the clouds or kicking it to your opponent

I've enjoyed Jekas contests though. Seems to get his hands on most balls. Again the kicks haven't helped him out

 

[Max Powers]

Onya Howie!

Yes which is disappointing but he’s shown he can dominate VFL. Needs to go back and do it again a little longer. Lewis solid today. It’s him and Kosi for now

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Hasn’t had great supply today, but a very solid game from Lewis regardless

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Scrimshaw is in the middle

 

[Bardo State]

Smashed the initial contest inside 50 that was looking like an intercept mark too

 

[MadDawg]

Scrim starting in centre square

Been good early in the role too.

Good to see Clarko finally trying some things to fix the midfield woes

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Come on Hawks, give a yelp at least!

 

[Off The Couch]

Dare I say we are missing TOB today

 

[JustKickIt]

You know its a boring game when they start talking about the Pigeons

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Why not go for the shot Moore?

Team player

still waiting for him to show up

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

Dare I say we are missing TOB today

with CJ, Hartley and Scrim in our D50 against the best (2nd?) fwd line was always gonna be rough

offensively all 3 are talented players but struggle defensively

cant wait for Sicily, Day and DGB to all be playing
