POSTGAME: Rd 07 vs Hawthorn

Got there. I reckon we might be bringing a few blokes in next week.

[Nasher 33,177]

Thanks Hawthorn for playing such an aggressive game. Took it up to us. I was never really worried we’d lose but it’s the first time I’ve felt some legitimate tension in the last quarter all season.

Percentage losing win

Great win.  Players fading in the last.  2 weakened by covid. 3- 4 hadn't played AFL tempo for a while.

Bank the 4 points and move on.

bank it and move on

Very few highlights save that Bedford is ready.

Not sure what if anything it did to solve the Weid v T Mac debate

Need to play a lot better next week

Full credit to Hawthorn.

But Max and Tracca stood up big time.

so to Oliver.

The reliable trio.

Nice cameo from Bedford

The absolute putrid biased commentators were over the top.

 

How about talking up the team with 5 out

[Return to Glory 7,811]

Very happy for Bedford. A game which could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

[von 1,241]

We were cooked in the last. Our forward entries were as bad as possible

[Sir Why You Little 34,980]

Great win considering the week we had. 
‘thorn pushed us hard

[Lucifers Hero 37,351]

Top 8 taking shape.  Cream rising to the top.

No matter what happens this round we will be 2 games clear of 5th team (and maybe 4th).

Strong position.

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,405]

Undefeated 👹

[leave it to deever 16,232]

i think I know who is coming out for Jackson.

[old dee 23,058]

When you win under those conditions it proves you are a very good team. Go Dees! 

[dees189227 11,056]

We kicked the 4 behinds that quarter. Thank goodness for the 3rd quarter

[Bitter but optimistic 21,560]

Fear the dees !!

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Thank you umpires.

Our depth is bloody good when all the players who came in held their own.

The Hawks are always a nuisance against us, I'm just glad we take the points and there were some good positives today (not the covid ones), like Bedford. 

Another game where we should take the 4 points and move on, hopefully with more of our list available.

A little wobbly at times, but we'll get there - definitely by the time we win the flag again this year.

[Tom Dyson 1,532]

A wakeup call without losing is a good result, hawthorn showed everyone the blueprint on how to beat us, take it quick through the corridor and keep lever accountable. 

Need to tidy up our forward fifty entries as well, we kept sitting it on top of a contest and expected someone to clunk it which didnt look nearly as good hitting up a lead. 

I think this game also shows how important Goody is, feel like his influence on the boundary line is a lot more important than we know

Watching 2 teams having a red hot go, both butchering the ball at every opportunity, both equally clumsy, sloppy and error-riddled, for the Dees to do things 5% cleaner and get the win. So glad we bat deep int our list because that was very close to a loss tonight.

A lot of rusty players, and by the end of the game, tired. 

But we won, are still on top, and so far can take on every challenge.
