Game Day Round 2, 2024: Hawthorn v Melbourne, MCG 4.35pm

[Buttonsticher]

Josh Ward is a huge disappointment no matter how we spin it. Runs up and down on the spot and has zero presence.

Finns skill level is absolutely horrendous. His kicking is so bad it’s incredible he has made it this far.

Sam Mitchell has had a shocker. The game plan is as bad as I have seen in 20 years today and he needs to put his hand up and own this car crash today .

Oh shivers, this is not the autopsy!!!!

Should have been a free kick

Nope. All ball. Good defending. Soft from Lewis

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Why is it that when we are moving the ball we just kick straight to a spare of theirs, and when they move the ball they have free players everywhere.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Gunston another strange sub choice

 

[SSSSSS]

Now they pay HTB.

He is still young but when i picture Ward it is getting that chip kick uncontested mark on the back flank which he inevitably ships 15 up the line or in board. Lacks any sort of impact at the moment.

because our defending is lax and our zone is rubbish

 

[Briar Gold]

Skills and decision making so poor. Long season ahead so hope we start to see those so called green shoots.

 

[RoughysMullet]

Gunston another strange sub choice

Mitchell clueless with the sub decisions so far

 

[Baz_hawk]

Our game plan seems to be based on checkers as we just let the Dees zig zag out of defence all the way to the goal with absolutely no pressure. I'm convinced a strong breeze would beat us with our current structures and effort.

 

[HedgeFund]

Have you seen the delivery he is getting? Can’t blame Sicily when we allow them to walk it out of the middle so frequently

So he shouldn’t be at all responsible for Fritsch kicking 5 goals. Even though he’s been his direct opponent for most of the game.

It’s everyone else’s fault.

Gotcha.

[Lickmesocks]

If somebody tells me champion data has Finn Maginess going at 80% efficiency I will do a streak right now

 

[Since 2001]

Mitch lewis, need to throw your weight around more! Youre a big bloke use it

 

[Billyc]

biggest disappointments so far this year: the coaching, Newcombe, Lewis and Sicily. Leaders all failing

 

[Bugs1977]

 

[Judd2Sewell]

We are so shit. Clueless coaching and gameplan, some real average battlers and uninspired players that are lazy.

Top ten pick on him ooooof

 

[Fluro Boots]

Players preserving themselves by choosing whether to go or not. Not good enough, and it's not a skill thing. Certain senior players haven't led the way in this regard.

 

[earthworms]

Reeves Maginness Nash all to vfl

 

[HedgeFund]

Very disrespectful to Cox, has played way more quality games.

Cox occasionally kicks goals and has some mongrel about him.

 

[RhinotheFC]

Not 15 my fu$king arse

 

[Mercy Seat]

Embarrassing effort kicking only 5 goals against this backline.

 

[Kuuz]

Don't worry lads - only need to kick 55 behinds now to draw level and we have them on the ropes

They love his character at the club but he’s starting to remind me of Dylan Shiel. Doesn’t impact with the ball. Works hard with defensive running at least but has little impact
