GAMEDAY: Rd 02 vs Hawthorn

[The heart beats true 18,123]

May went down right in front of me, and from my vantage looked like ribs. He looked very, very sore.

Personally I think we are playing terrible football.   Hawthorn are shirt. And we let them get close 

Sam Mitchell’s gameplan is play ugly, play dirty

reckon having wizard as a nickname is a hinderance rather than a help coming into AFL footy. You need to earn a nickname like that.

Didn't do Jeff Farmer any harm.

Good half. Smashing clearances and contested ball. Setting up incredibly well behind the ball, so much that the Hawks can't even move it. 

Scores from stoppage healthy.

He was definitely down for quite awhile. Didn’t look good 😬

Hawks came out hard in that quarter. Our defence stood up really well. Need our mids to get back to basics.

[Jaded No More 68,903]

Anyone watching at home; any updates on May? 

[Diamond_Jim 12,568]

Went from way ahead on most stats at quarter time to near even.

Lucky that the Hawks couldn't put any scoreboard pressure on.

Need a better third quarter

No, it's playing to a plan when you don't have the cattle you make sure the opposition don't score.

[Demon Disciple 12,119]

Lower the eyes going forward. Maybe have a defensive forward on Sicily, or even a decoy forward to try and drag him away from the ball.

[leave it to deever 17,511]

A dollar for every time commentator said Hawks may win the quarter.

[demon3165 2,718]

Ok let's go back to plan A bomb it in, because that worked well the last 2 years.

In a lot of pain, no plan of being subbed just yet.

I've just watched the replay on Kayo, but haven't been following the half time updates.

It looked like rib area was hit and that's where he grabbed, but the impact seemed a bit broad (shin/leg against side of body) rather than sharp (ie knee point directly digging in).

I'm not a doctor or biomechanist but it looked more like a heavy collision than sharp rib impact. Hopefully bad bruising or stitch from impact rather than anything more serious?

He looked a lot better when resting on the bench.

[Satan 2,871]

Broken ribs ? Punctured lung even worse?

Only 1 goal that quarter.  Chandler and Brown not doing a lot

Agree re Brown.  Not reading it as well this week? 

Chandler's brought immense pressure around the arc though imv.

For a small fella he does struggle to get away from his opponent on the receive at times and capatilise which is a tad worrying.  Not easy at this level of course.  Needs a bit more strength through legs & core maybe?

[demon3165 2,718]

By the end of the post he will be on life support.
