Game Day Round 16, 2022: Giants v Hawks, 3:20pm Giants stadium

[Coathanger]

Can’t get back fisting it, mark the damn thing from now on. Cant get any worse.

 

[Breustiful]

Two to tackle Congilio… far out

 

[RoughysMullet]

That is pathetic just letting Davis take an uncontested mark.

Woeful- we’ve given up in this last quarter- not much effort at all to try and win it has been disappointing

 

[MinerBoy]

For all his good no more self centred player than Sicily, every action is look at me.

I don’t think he’s that type of player at all

Kosi clearly being held.

 

[Cleavy]

2 on 1 contest, and we still couldn’t stick the tackle and get the free

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

Breust tackled before he even got the ball in his hands.

Story of the day.

They have played accountable football, meaning they tackled us when we didn't have it, pushed us square in the back with two hands at almost every one-on-one marking contest, ran through the 'protected zone' repeatedly, and had high contact and rough conduct go unpunished.

That tackle on Worpel should result in a suspension. It won't. GWS have a very high dickhead quotient. Plus the three umpires. Just a shit game of football all around.

We are a below average football side with an ordinary list being beaten by a below average football side with a good list and the most farcical coaching panel ever assembled. Started with Sheedy AND now Hird? They'll never win shit.

An a more positive note, Blanck has been competent. And Mitchell doing his best. But our midfield setup is nowhere near competitive in any conditions. Let alone in the wet.

 

[badgrill]

Kosi clearly being held.

Been doing it all day

 

[Bedi]

In a game where I didn’t expect much I’m surprised how disappointed I am with this

Yep it feels like a real step back in our development. A bit like we're out of answers.

 

[Hodginator]

Arrah. Bramble again with the fumbles

 

[StillAtLarge]

Bramble shits himself far too often for my liking

 

[hawkman]

Bramble is a VFL footballer

 

[grumbleguts]

2 on 1 contest, and we still couldn’t stick the tackle and get the free

We wouldn't have anyway. That's fantasy stuff.

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

We maybe a young side but we don’t do the basics well, like playing in front on a wet day.

time and time again the hack kick goes to the Giants because we are playing behind.

Spot on. We've been poorly coached today.

 

[VandoHawk]

Bramble is lucky he has attributes our side lacks because he might be the least composed Hawthorn player I’ve seen since Tom Murphy

 

[Iceman!]

Will be extremely disappointed if Bramble is not playing VFL next week after this showing...

 

[Stranglers]

Two to tackle Congilio… far out

And he still got an effective disposal away.

 

[SSSSSS]

Bramble has had some peahearted efforts today.

Cannot play in defense.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Hardwick is an absolute beast, so consistently good

 

[Hawks1994]

One team really clean and tidy in the conditions, the other trying hard but fumbling and bumbling their way through the contest

The first team there was always going to be the winner

 

[Hodginator]

Wow. If only they pay those frees to Lewis rather than against him. Would have had 12 shots on goal.

 

[Hawker1167]

Must be 2 footys out there - when we have it it’s a piece of soap while they are picking it up one hand delivery to their forwards

 

[Off The Couch]

Every single time they’ve tried to tap it forward it’s gone straight to the giants

At some point you would think the lightbulb would of gone off - but no, let’s just keep doing the same thing over and over again

 

[Max Powers]

Smug prick Hird.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I'm philosophical enough to accept we aren't a finals team, and can accept the odd lackluster performance, but I'm starting to be concerned we have turned in way too many ordinary efforts so far this season. We need to be more competitive than this.
