Start by dropping TMac, focus on developing the Weid/Jackson forward setup, get games into Pickett so those wild shots on the run start going through the big uprights, win as many games as we can. With building form and confidence we'll go on a run through the finals from 8th place and lose the GF to West Coast in Perth by 89 points. The game will not be reviewed.

For a while last night I thought they'd have to release an "All the Goal" video this week.

I agree. His value has evaporated. Surely it's that foot injury of his - having to soak it in a bucket of hot water before games to get moving according to TMac himself last year.

May's comments about players needing to concentrate was telling. The interview was great - gave more insight into what wasn't working than a dozen coach's press conferences.

Christ. I've heard Richo "describe" his role on at least three separate interviews and I remain unconvinced even he understands what it is.

To think I'd been looking forward to this evening. We move like treacle, our kicking us terrible, their pressure around the contest squeezed us into so many unusable handpasses. Can't believe this is basically the same team that we saw not two weeks ago. Hopefully AvB is fit next week. Maybe him in for Hannan or Jones? They probably won't drop TMac after one game, but we just looked hopeless up forward with him back. Get Bennell back in we need his smarts. Rest Harmes for Rivers maybe.

Nine do going into round 1.

That and spraying kicks from 30 out wide of the goals are his only attributes.

I like that this is titled the Postgame thread already

Add to that the poise and kicking skills that Bennell's omission robs us of.

We come off a couple of wins, looking sharp and confident. AvB breaks a cheek and of all the players to bring in facing the top 2 teams back to back.

Oh for god's sake Melbourne faffing about with hand passes to players feet 15 out from their goal.

FMD i missed the goal catching up with this thread. Can anything go right tonight???

Oliver might be in strife there. Slow mo looked like he thought about retracting elbow but kept it up.

We'd, Tmac and Jackson on the fwd line yet it felt like most of our kicks went towards Fritsch or Trac?

We've looked soooo slow since Jones was brought back in.

Our fwd line suddenly looks terrible with TMac back in

I read that as the grandparents were outside the hub (may live locally - who knows), and babysat the kids at seaworld - the issue is with the kids mingling with the public outside then returning to the hub.

Oh Oliver's kicking. Faaaaar out

Frittata!!!

Jones hasn't got the memo about the long bombs into 50?

"Ever"! Turn it up! Hawks have averaged a flag every 4 years I've been alive.

Weeeeiiiddddd!

Trac!!!!!! 50m set shot dead eye. Love how he's stamping his name on the comp.

Harley adds such class. Kudos to the recruitment and medical teams!
