August 5, 20231 yr An enjoyable half. Games so far have been entertaining, nice lead up to Cats smashing Port hopefully. Edited August 5, 20231 yr by Dee Zephyr
August 5, 20231 yr Memo to the fox peanuts - 29 points at half time in perfect conditions IS an example of a team with connection and efficiency issues.

August 5, 20231 yr Dear Garry Lyon. As a Dees man, I love what you have done for our club, and you were a gun when you played for us. Just a note though - there are 2 teams playing in the Hawks v Pies game and THE PIES ARE ACTUALLY BEHIND. The Hawks are playing better, and thwarting the "rampaging" Collingwood. Any chance you could mention some of the tactical nouse that the Hawks are using to thwart the Pies? Or even their great in-close pressure? Or their team defence. As much as I hate the Hawks, their play deserves respect.

I wont write them off but their game style must take a toll The other thing is because they are the benchmark, even teams out of finsls contention wantto use them to do an audit of where their game is at. And of course want to beat them. So they get no easy games. It was def a factor for us last year. The other issue they face is a team like the hawks who ate not playing finals dont have dont have to worry about keeping their tactical cards to their chest. Dacois 3 kicks (including a free and a kick out) is evidence of what I mean. The contenders get the benefit of seeing what works against them without having to show their hand.

Coz according to the pie fan boys, you only need to play a season and a half of elite home and away games to be considered a great team or the best player. By the by, on bont, he must be a shot at winning the Brownlow. Daicos has had a brilliant year, but others will take votes off him. And the bont has been the best player by a mile in at least 6-7 games I've seen - and he kicks goals. He is also impossible to miss when he gets it - and can't be confused for his brother!

August 5, 20231 yr As good as the Bont is he goes missing when he is really needed. Might sound harsh but the Dogs have a lot of player who do the same.
August 5, 20231 yr Why are free kicks given after a goal happens taken from the goal square? It feels like they should be from the centre square, as that's where the ball would be at the start of the play.

As much as I hate the Hawks, their play deserves respect. Lyons 'what we all love about the way the pies play' (ie fast transition linking by hands) is one of their vulnerabilities. It looks great. But creates too many turnover opportunities in tbe heat of super high pressure games. And when tbey do turn it over they get exposed on the counter too often because their defence pushes up so high and with no sweeper.

Maybe it's because it's where the apparent infraction took place.

August 5, 20231 yr Go Hawks. Pies going the man and Hawks the ball. Edited August 5, 20231 yr by leave it to deever
