New ruck rules don’t suit his style of ruck, takes away his height advantage. Meek much better suited with his physical presence.
I expected the Hawks to rise this year and finish 10th or 11th from memory and marginally ahead of Essendon. Albeit, that was before Injuries took hold.
They really took it up to the Cats a few weeks back at different stages and looked really good. I was quite impressed how they played and was genuinely worried they were going to overrun us at different stages.
The Gold Coast game was a shocker, but they haven't looked miles off it in most of the other games. Could have easily won a couple more. I could definitely see them rallying late in the season.I genuinely rate Sam as a coach and I'm sure he will get through this tough period and be the better for it.
Having said all that, they won't surpass Essendon who have started very well despite the terrible Power loss. People were saying they would be 7-0 to start the season, which was insulting and they have proven themselves to be a more than worthy opponent on their day.
