GAME DAY - round 20

[deeflog 679]

I am most excited for next season to see what Riley will produce with a full pre season under the belt

[Chook 15,012]

That was very lazy from Jeremy Howe. You can't give a player as fast as Isaac Smith even a centimetre, let alone a metre or two.

[Jaded No More 68,855]

Holding the damn ball. Wtf?!?!

Jetta has not lost a contest today.

Isn't it always holding the ball if you are taken to ground? You don't get to go to ground in a tackle, get up and then handpass the ball.

The rules are fluid depending on what jumper you wear.

[Toorak 108]

Watts hurts em when he tackles! For god sake have a go.

[Chook 15,012]

Howe has also been really good - finding consistency

Disagree. He can mark the ball and is a competent third man up, but his defensive pressure leaves a lot to be desired.

[Ted Lasso 19,278]

Not too bad today really, we have made some errors but all in all we had a crack

[Demon Jack 6,858]

Dawes kicks his first goal in 3-4 weeks.

Yep. Aside from Jack Watts, you can't accuse anyone in this team of not giving it their best. Unfortunately we just don't have the talent to take it up to many teams right now.

I know it has been said before but Brererton needs a laryngectomy.

[Ted Lasso 19,278]

And that ladies and gentlemen is why McDonald isn't a forward haha

Overall they have done well today. Honest but outclassed.

[Chook 15,012]

Neville Jetta is just trolling the Hawthorn players now. Just destroys anyone he's assigned to.

[Hellish Inferno 992]

Jetta has quickly become one of my favourite players

[chook fowler 19,444]

That was not a mark. Blatant use of hands

[Hellish Inferno 992]

Classic schoolyard speccy but should have been a free. Ahwell...

Puopolo's speckie should have been a free to Bernie Vince. Pay it, but that should have been a free.

Jack Watts smiling like he won the Grannie.

[Demon_spurs 1,831]

How come every time a Hawthorn player gets tackles he's just allowed to drop the ball to the ground.. I reckon I counted about 10 -15 of these today..We need to practice this too. Totally outclassed today, but there are reasonable signs for the future.

[McQueen 17,864]

50 points was respectable.

Was some good efforts today.

Huge void between where we are as a team and how efficient the Hawks are.

[The Big Ticket 94]

Jack Watts smiling like he won the Grannie.

He cops it badly on here, unfairly at times. But he bloody well does himself no favors.

[Adam The God 30,112]

Viv Michie was good today too.

[Redleg 40,815]

Viv Michie was good today too.

Agree.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,218]

Agree! You cant just put your hands on someone's shoulders and hoist.
