Very dissappointing effort yesterday. We dominated large parts of that first half and really should have put more scoreboard pressure on them. Credit to Hawthorn though who came out and dominated the second half. Thought Cloke was really good, Reid tried hard all day on Buddy and Hudson would come close to being our best player. Sidebottom was the big disappointment for mine, he just couldn't get into the game and had no influence. Big test for us now against the Tigers, we need to bounce back back hard here with a big win
I didn't hear any of the game at all, but the commentators said at half time that the Pies should have ended the game in the first quarter. The Hawks always seem to quick for us, and move the ball quickly that catches our defenders off guard when they can't zone defend.
Buckley said in his press conference that he'll be right to play. Means nothing though as coaches always talk shit during the week about player availability
Indeed. Given that he got concussed two weeks ago and has a proppy knee I wouldn't be surprised if he's a late withdrawal.
I hope not because we will need him against your mob. He will go to Riewoldt, Brown to Vickery and probably Frost to McGuane. If Reid doesn't play we will struggle down back
Haha yeah after seeing him injured last week I was froffin at the thought of Brown on Riewoldt. Frost would still take McGuane. But either Goldsack or Keefe would probs play on Vickery.
Keefe is still 6-8 weeks away with his knee injury so he won't be able to cover which isn't ideal and which is why Reid needs to play. Pretty much if one of our tall defenders goes down we are in a a bit of trouble
Do y'all even know why Beams is out? He decided it'd be real smart to get an extensive tat above the knee in the week before the season started. However the twat did no research and now he's found out the hard way that he's got to avoid physical activity for awhile - if he does, the area where the tat is will bleed. So essentially he's not playing as he'll be blood ruled constantly. That's why his return date is so unknown.
