Autopsy Swans vs Hawks (R19, 2017)

[The King!]

Yes, so the point is we lost it at selection table and with emergencies...

Ok

Don't disagree with selection costing us at all

 

[The King!]

This may be unpopular with some but if fit I want Tippet to play next week.

I think he has too
Especially if Reid is not right

The set up was strange by clarko

Only 4 forwards then pushed a couple of the back of the square

Always a step ahead

That sort of setup isn't unusual. Our under 13 side does it. It gives you two unmarked players running from behind the ball so if you have the dominant ruck they can run without an opponent forwards.

What was unusual was their preparedness to kick 50 metres by three kicks directly across the fifty arc rather than around the arc, until they hit a free man. They must have known we overload on the side closest to the ball.

What was also unusual was their ability to make Roughead a big bodied midfielder with a licence to push forward to the square. Our inability to deal with this, McEvoy,schoenmakers in the head meant that we were made to look really poor in the air all night.

Anyone got an opinion on Langford kissing McVeigh?

Apparently Macca didn't take it too well.

Obviously not a huge drama but I'm torn on whether it crosses a line or not. Do that to a girl in a bar and you can be charged with assault.

Was looking to suck him in for the second free kick. Just a poor look for Langford playing for retaliation frees. To get offended or compare that to anything is so today. Who cares but wank move by Langford.

There is a fundamentally different context betwe what Langford did and doing it in a bar to a girl.

He did it twice apparently, and that makes it pretty off. Doing it once in the heat of the moment is fine, doing it as a tactic is not fine.

 

[The King!]

I'm not reading too anything into this game. Current form never seems to count for anything against Hawthorn. Their game style is our kryptonite and doesn't allow us to play on our terms.

It's frustrating but I'm moving on.

It's more their fans for me

Big footy ones I quite like mind you

Just my mother in law is like to say push into traffic and a few hawk mates

 

[MK38]

May not have a choice. Both of our rucks got injured.

Yeah I guess, I thought the injuries didn't look too bad but who knows.

That is no way unpopular. Naismith is struggling and Sinclair got found out.

 

[SilentHunter_]

I honestly feel for Longmire (well to an extent). He's Clarkson's little bitch and he knows it.

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Yes, so the point is we lost it at selection table and with emergencies...

We didn't lose through selection, we lost because we were s**t but a measly 6 points!

Bring out the boxing gloves at training you reckon walls?

 

[Ticky009]

I hate it when we lose to Hawks.
was really hoping I was going to be wrong and we'd beat them.
So frustrating.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

It really does baffle me how similarly these games often play out. Hodge being allowed to play loose behind the ball, Burgoyne dominating, Hawks constantly being able to find free space over the ground, our continuous ineffectual forward forays bombing it long to big packs and Hawthorn runners rebounding with ease.

You'd think that we'd design a plan to counter this by now. Jude Bolton nailed it when summarising where the game was lost, we didn't adjust to the spare man in defense.

Tippett will play next week!

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Bottom footage/angle showed Melican clearly forced the behind. Was never a goal but umpires call of course.

I was just referring to the Tippet hate that goes on here.

 

[The King!]

Ideally pending fitness

In Lloyd Rohan Reid Tippett

Out Foot (delist) Robinson Sinclair and Hayward/Naismith (inj)

 

[Neverwas]

So possibly jpk, Naismith out, Reid, rohan, buddy mrp maybe, Lloyd and it's like the first 6 rounds again with different staff. Lose next week I doubt we make the 8. Umpiring disgraceful. Knew we were in trouble when Mills was in the mids at the bounce, back structure gone, horse s**t the bed

Yes, suddenly a seriously depleted side for the important game next week.At least we might see Aliir and Dawson and maybe even the old trooper Laidler who has been in excellent form.

In Lloyd Rohan Reid Tippett

Out Foot (delist) Robinson Sinclair and Hayward/Naismith (inj)

Lloyd - hip tightness
Rohan - back spasms
Kennedy - left hamstring
Naismith - right knee

Is the report from tonights game what a shitshow.

Agree. But technology is s**t so can't overrule it

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Tippett should be treated like any player in the reserves. If anyone playing in a similar role is underperforming in the senior side then he will take their place. Fair chance it will happen if Reid doesn't get up.

Naismith and Sinclair ended the game sore as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if the coaches look at how we play the Hawks as opposed to how others play the Hawks. If this is the case, it's our downfall because it's how they see us through our game style!

I've got all that

I kind of wish he played this week to be honest but anyway.

 

[The King!]

I think we have a hold on Geelong like hawthorn do on us
