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

[Judd2Sewell]

Worpel, Nash and Day just aren't getting involved at all in the middle. Newcombe is playing a lone hand in there.

 

[Makedonija]

We’ve won every quarter so far and haven’t seen a flood of opposition goals that we can’t shut down, which has happened a lot this season. We’re slowly improving in all parts of our game and it’s showing. Bring it home boys!

 

[KermitJagger]

Took back some control there thankfully. Another heart stopping last quarter I feel.

 

[Flag08]

So Saints have been on top since half way through the second and we've somehow won each quarter so far

Mitchell game plan

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Marshall workout out how to play Meek that quarter and is just shoving him out of the way, grabbing the ball and blindly kicking it forward.

If Meek can get on top of that it'll make a big difference

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Is Scrimmers injured?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

-20 disposals
-7 inside 50's
+1 clearances
-5 contested possessions
-21 uncontested possessions

In front by 14pts.

We have a style of play that allows us to get looks forward, even when we aren't dominating key stats. There's a lot to like about this game, even if we lose from here.

 

[Off The Couch]

I was making a joke because so many people turned on Nash this year.

Very little I say in gameday threads is actually serious

Given your “we’re doomed” posting history, I would suggest that you leave the attempt at comedy alone

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Didn't you cop a week following the Footstink game?

Cop a week for what? Not taking the game seriously and having a bit of fun on an uptight forum?

 

[smeltitdeltit]

Kick the goal then tap him on the butt

If it initates a reaction for the double 50. All for it.

I know, I'd read your post to someone else saying if you don't see the humour in my post, that's on you" so I thought I'd up the ante with "what game are you watching?"

 

[Hawker_85]

A red time goal for us would have been nice.

Got one with 1.35 left in the quarter, which was a nice change.

 

[Birdofprey]

Go hawks play it hard till the end boys

 

[Hawk1986]

Defence was immense that quarter

 

[Max Powers]

Here we go.

 

[OnTheRocks]

Frost and Scrimshaw absolutely outstanding

Yep our backs have played tall.
Can we kick enough to win with such a small forward line?

 

[hawker79]

That was a cheeky tap on bum from Wiz, just needed to slot it. Dont mind abit of razzle but u need to back it up when it counts.

 

[daniel23]

We are a better team with hardwick in the backline

 

[HedgeFund]

Last quarter will be an arm wrestle.

Can’t honestly see the Saints kicking 5 goals the way they’re coached. Ross isn’t renowned for flicking the offensive switch and winning games.

So 3 goals from us should be enough.

Would be great if we can avoid bombing it to aerial contests (where we will struggle).

Keep it on the deck and let Moore, Watson and Breust go to work.

A smart quarter which plays to our strengths should see us home.

 

[bungholes_premiers]

Give the opponent a tap u better hecking kick the goal, would have been big

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Big last quarter please boys...

GO HAWKS!!!

 

[Paul Kersey]

Ginni with a Bont special from that pack.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

That is leadership from Breust, superb kick.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Come on Ginni

 

[Paul Kersey]

‘Marshall saves the day’.
