GAME DAY R19 Tiges V Hawks
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
First time since pre our premierships that I saw a Richmond crowd so invested.
The hunger for more success is back.
I did ask my mate if hawthorn had recruited Mundy in mid season draft and had him as a sub when we hit the front.
really we shouldn't have been so far behind in the 1st place. Even though we were playing poorly, we missed some of the easiest shots at goal in the first 3 quarters. I mean 15-20 metres out almost dead in front & they miss.
We were comprehensively out played at centre bounces & still had the same number of scoring shots at 3/4 time.
At times we looked disinterested, slow & reactionary, how many times were the Hawk players out on their own.
In addition to the misses there were some key skill error turnovers when we were completely out and the trailing 5 hawks players were all suddenly in space and 50 out from goal. It looked a lot worse than it was.
To me this is the biggest concern. We often look lethargic and disinterested particularly at the beginning of games. The best teams turn up ready to go each week.
Aside from the final term, I didn't think we played well at all yesterday nor the week before vs West Coast.
Yes we can laud the performance of players because we won but honestly I wonder if it is just papering over big cracks.
There were times yesterday we looked absolutely awful & I wondered if this was the end of our run.
Far bigger tests to come. Will need to play a heck of a lot better to make the finals from here.

The next 3 weeks will give us a clearer picture as to where we are as a club.
Another rule that is so arbitrarily adjudicated so know one knows what an umpire will do
Yeah, going to kick the ball but deciding not to doesn't necessarily mean youve gone off your line. And this happened a few times yesterday.
At times it looked as though the Hawks had double amount of players on the park because they had so much room to work in and the Tigers just looked on
Sicily would’ve had half the impact if Jack received the free kicks he deserved. Worpel 7 centre clearances is huge, but only 4 score involvements so don’t think he was that effective. Baker and Ross very stiff not to receive votes, thought Taranto deserved more than 1
Agree. The commentary is the Hawks dominated for 3 quarters. They didn't. They just couldn't miss, and we missed a bunch of easy shots. If should have been even at 3/4 tune.
