Game Day Thread - Hawks v Daemons

[Sir Why You Little 34,753]

Good Stuff from Jack Watts. We need it Jack. Keep it up.

[Bitter but optimistic 21,483]

Fitzpatrick is useless

[glimpse 7]

No bruise Wattsie is only trying as he sees Freemantle on the horizon. He will play really well NEXT year for someone else!!

[Guest]

Fitzy has been awful so far

[Bitter but optimistic 21,483]

Agreed.

[What 18,810]

i love that Kent and Fitzy are having a dip.

Dawes looking good.

I am so glad this will be Neelds last game as coach, we are lucky not to be down by 60 already

[Jaded No More 58,811]

Watts having a good game so far. As a forward. Surprise surprise. If we lose him, we are an even bigger joke of a club than I imagined.

Loving Kent. Loving Terlich.

Dawes is useless to me if he can't nail relatively easy shots on goal.

We are incredibly lucky they can't kick straight or it would be game over already. 12 scoring shots to 3? Pathetic.

At least we are tackling with intensity. Lets hand out medals.

[Bring Back Barassi 546]

Dawes, Watts, Pedo all good.

Fitzy woeful.

[What 18,810]

official stats say Watts has only 4 touches, that cant be right

That was no" easy shot"

[Parma 28]

The efforts there just not the polish or game plan

easy shot.. facepalm.

[frankie_d 1,410]

yep Kent good. Just for perspective, 12 scoring shots to 3.

[Bring Back Barassi 546]

if Mitch was playing instead of Fitzy, we would be a lot closer

[Matt Demon 1,387]

Fitzy has been awful so far

That's because Fitzy is awful. Good VFL player & that's where it ends.

[Jaded No More 58,811]

He was 45 out on an angle. He wasn't the easiest shot but he should get those. Maybe I'm harsh to compare him to Clark, but for $500k a season, you'd want to be able to kick.

Sorry but that is his primary job.

[deanox 8,762]

Why play on, why?!?!?!?!

I swear to god we are trying to play like Hawthorn but minus all the skills.

I swear to god this is crap. Neeld can't geit angry when he clearly instructs our players to play on.

Jaded, if they don't try and take the game on everyone claims that the coach is too defensive. What would rather - the players back theymselves and try and win, or the players just try to minimise the loss from out set?

[Philthy 284]

Keep Kent in for the rest of the season, Keep Fitzy out and delist at seasons end!

[The Big Ticket 94]

Couple of times Dawes blazed when he was going inside 50, when we had spares at half forward.

Bail's dribble-shot was selfish. Watts' snap likewise. We should have a couple but we were still blown away.

[rjay 23,993]

Like Kent, made a couple mistakes but still feeling his way into this level. Getting a bit of ball and just needs to settle and use his kick to advantage, makes tackles stick. Go easy on big Fitz, this time he needs a few games to see what he can do.

[titan_uranus 22,723]

Haven't seen a single second, but looking at the stats, we've had 98 disposals in a quarter, which is better by our standards (we've been having games of 250 overall, 98 in a quarter way exceeds our usual output).

We're level on tackles 13-13. We're level in clearances 8-8. Those are good signs too.

Clearly the 8-19 inside 50 count is abysmal, and they could already be 8 goals up, but if we're matching them for tackles and clearances then hopefully there is a base to work off.

Nice to hear good things about Watts and Pedersen.

Sounds like Fitzpatrick is doing nothing to quell my fears that he will never make it at AFL level.

What is wrong with Channel 7? I am so sick of this 'slow mo/non consequential sequence of play' buffers they put in between play. It's more like a music video than a football game.

I'm all for playing on. When it makes sense. Not when you're panicked.

Our players mostly struggle to make good decisions. Even senior players. It's not good enough.

[Bring Back Barassi 546]

McKenzie... Not AFL standard

[Jaded No More 58,811]

It's [censored] like this, running all the way down the ground and kicking a goal, that kills teams.
