Game Day Round 9, 2024 : Hawks v Saints, 1:45pm UTAS

[Judd2Sewell]

It why he has never won a premiership!

Coming up against two of the greatest ever sides is why he never won one.

 

[KermitJagger]

Steele has 10 tackles already, wowee.

NWM, Hill, Bonner and Wilson are getting plenty of touches on the outside. Not sure how we stop that?

Not sure it matters, not doing anything with it

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Need to get this long sky ball into the 50 out of Day’s game. Such a clean player otherwise.

Is it not a ploy to make sure that we compete and bring the ball to ground?

 

[Billyc]

Coming up against two of the greatest ever sides is why he never won one.

And the bounce of a ball

 

[CobberRodgers]

I’m not even worried about the result today, I am just really happy that our effort and ability to play team football has improved over the past few weeks and we look like a footy club that is going somewhere.

Been some really good signs the last fortnight and yeah it’s going to be full of ups and downs over the next 5 years but I am well and truly here for it.

Can’t wait to watch these kids do something special one day.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Serong just doesn’t quite have the clean, one touch that you need. Just the difference from vfl to afl I guess

Serong is still adjusting to the level up.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Serong criticism is pretty harsh, thought he's done well so far.

 

[HairyO]

Is it not a ploy to make sure that we compete and bring the ball to ground?

Low and hard does that with the added bonus of not being outmarked in the air.

 

[Baz_hawk]

We fell back into our classic bomb it long to no-one in that second term. I'm sure the coaches will be highlighting that in the half time meeting and wanting us to lower our eyes and be more methodical in our forward entries.

Felt like after the Mitchell 50 we lost a lot of that positive ball movement and went more defensive. Always tricky with a young team to reset and focus after conceding an easy goal, especially when it's a low scoring Ross Lyon flooding game.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Are these commentators calling the game from Melbourne?

 

[Leather Poisoning]

still a looooong way to go in this game.

Somehow St Kilda would have felt like the last half of the second quarter was a positive for them.
Would be great to get a goal or two early just to crush their confidence.

On top of Ross Lyon being one of the coaches today, this game is also played in Tassie which for some reason has a 10% drop in skill and game quality regardless of who is playing.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Low and hard does that with the added bonus of not being outmarked in the air.

Low and hard to who though? I feel like we value groundball crumbing rather than leading up at the player, and risking a quick rebound.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Newc wasn’t expecting that.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

no such thing as prior opportunity any more.

 

[killerspud]

Brad Hill still knows how to play

 

[BIGHAWK23]

What’s Lyons issue with us?
Really dismissive of us

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I know you play the percentage football, but kicking to the top of the 50 and risking the fast break is not great.

 

[Blahsta]

Mooney can't be serious we have not enough small fwds

 

[HedgeFund]

Are these commentators calling the game from Melbourne?

No doubt

 

[Flamin Joe]

Is Moore getting a free anytime soon??

 

[Paul Kersey]

Moore ever gonna get a free?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

blatant free to Moore not paid

 

[Paul Kersey]

What the hell Dear?

 

[Birdofprey]

Calsher will learn from that moment

 

[RhinotheFC]

What the dear lord was Dear doing there?
