Smith's kick

[The BIG X]

Lol, but what would I know, I'm just a running winger who can't kick straight.

BUT you can - I will never forget your goal v Freo

 

[LuckyHawk]

I'm even more certain now Smith rushed his kick. All the pro golfers driving, putting and tennis players serving
all stick to a pre shot routine which is critical for the best possible outcome and goal kickers too - think Lloyd
throwing grass with the roof on at etihad, he was ridiculed but was correctly sticking to his routine. I feel Smith
got away from his routine under severe pressure when you need it most. He still may have missed the goal by not rushing
but we'll never know.

Smithy will always be a Hawthorn legend, no matter what. He started the snowball rolling in 2013.

My favourite moment of the threepeat

Gets me hard every time ermmmm you didn't read that

 

[yirra_kurl]

The kick was missable, if Smith was only 20 metres out straight in front then thats a different story.
Having said that it wasn't one of his better kicks but I was confident with the ball in his hands.

hands up who went and watched the video.....again?

Don't think we needed to since its been replayed about 127 times.

If you insist

Very costly miss in regards to us winning a 4th straight premiership regardless of wether people like to admit it or not.

Assuming we got over the Dogs (no done thing but...) I would take GWS away in a heartbeat (with 1 game in 28 days) over a surging Sydney or Adelaide. Home or away

 

[Since 2001]

If we get to a prelim the miss means nothing

 

[HODGEYROAD]

If we get to a prelim the miss means nothing

It means we are playing at Spotless and not the MCG.

quoting fail on my behalf.
what i meant to quote was this: (and then say, who went and watched this footage again!)

Top 10 goals of the three peat video reel on the Hawthorn site -

3 are Isaac. 3!!

the guy is a champion. i love him to bits

That said two are Will and he ain't in the team

Too many people making excuses for Smith.
We're not Footscray or St Kilda.

Not Richmond either what's your point?

The guy simply missed.

Did he rush his kick - No doubt.

People are not making excuses Issac simply rushed his kick a tad and missed.

End of story.

 

[MrFujiMoto]

he'll be right, we missed plenty of other shots.

 

[The BIG X]

he'll be right, we missed plenty of other shots.

That is the point

Sincerely hope Smithy smashes the Bullies

What a load of crap. He missed, who's saying otherwise?

Plenty of other players "missed" opportunities that night- one thing we can certain of is Smithy gave 110% for us on Friday. And the poor bastard would be hurting still.

We're not Footscray or St Kilda, we're Hawthorn. And we get around each other, win or lose.

Fatalistic explanations will make us of their ilk - "just one of those kicks"

like how you're just one of those supporters?

Seriously he missed the kick but posters are saying season is over even though we are playing this week, even though last year we looked nowhere near it in the QF and won the whole show.

The loss isn't on Smith, it's on the whole team, his last kick was just one of many moments in the game that didn't go the way we needed to win, shouldn't be singled out

 

[StillAtLarge]

I'm over the whole smith thing. Fact is, we were 3 goals up in the 3rd and let them back in -that's where the game was lost.
We win as a team, ditto when we lose.

 

[Hawks1994]

I for one will be very interested in how Isaac plays this Friday night. It can go either one of two ways. He lets that moment get to him and he switches off mentally, or he uses it as an incredible motivating factor and tears up the game, kicking 3 straight in the process.

I have faith that it will be the second of those scenarios

Andrew Russell has said that Smith is one of the mentally strongest blokes on the list, his ability to push through at training, to run the way he does in games is because he makes himself keep going, he'll be right

 

[kirbatron]

The bloke gut ran & burned off geelong players to get himself into a position to win the game for us... takes a fair bit of ticker.

I don't subscribe to that fact he was arrogant or rushed it... he took enough time, kicked it well but pulled it right

The dogs will get into his ear but I'm tipping he'll have the last laugh on Friday night.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Smith is one of the champions of this great club. As a supporter I for one will be telling him that when I meet him next

 

[Lotus]

I'm actually glad that the one who missed the shot is Isac Smith.

Imagine if it's Brad Hill for example, the reactions will be worse than cencus failure.
