Which were in July so if they don't start with lights on would have finished that way...

GAME DAY THREAD - TIGES V HAWKS
- Thread starter AstuteTiger

IS THERE ANYWHERE THAT HAS A SUMMARY OF OUR VFL PRACTICE MATCH AGAINST HAWKS ON SUNDAY MORNING.
Leaving this game me and my mate were reflecting how hawthorn were us for so much of our Richmond supporting lives.
I.e. the other team got three or four goals ahead early then we really tried. Every time we got a goal the other team would get one in the next minute of play almost every time. If we knew what we knew now we would know the other team was just cruising and pacing themselves for a long season and we were kidding ourselves if we thought they were only a five goal better team.

Seems like the AFL meeja just believe everything that Clarko spouts regardless of truth. Rhetoric is Burgoyne did a good job on Martin. Geez I'd hate to see him do a bad job. 28 touches, 22 effective, 11 score involvements and was the best player on the ground.
Assuming therefore that (unjustly) Dusty won't be getting a perfect ten in the coaches votes again this week.

I saw it differently. I thought Hawthorn flooded their backline in the second half to dry up our scoring. it worked and we played dumb at times with our ball movement going forward. But it also stopped Hawthorn from scoring too, which is pointless when you're behind. The second half was a 0-0 draw and made Clarkson look stupid.
reads the play very well. will be a gun.
All of it. people can’t work out the ticketing system. Hawthorn have the most inflated supporter base in the league (by a long way), Sunday is the least popular day to go to the footy (especially the 1:10pm starts) and people are still spooked by COVID.
You didn't need to enter your member barcode for this game. And you didn't need your RFC account. book everything via the Ticketek app.
Staggered at the wraps for the hawks in the media. The SEN boys were impressed by the Hawks. I thought it was a pretty average game and other than their half-back flanker showing promise and young Brockman doing well there wasn't a whole lot to be excited about.
Mitchell just wanders around getting stats, Breust and Burgoyne are done. Shiels is about to turn 30 and gonna start to decline. O'Brien is a waste of years of development, their ruckman is an ageing warrior backed up by an undersized trier in Ceglar. Their midfield has 2 decent players in Mitchell/O'Meara. Worpell has gone backwards at a rate of knots. Hartigan, Frost and Phillips add to the C-grade depth.
They are in for a decade of irrelevance and it's just fantastic.

To be fair they have two promising half-back flankers: Jiath and Day. The rest is right though. Shovelhands Mitchell would have to be the most overrated crab in the game. 37 insignificant touches, half of them throws. Crumples Macrae's a better player.
There's no doubt they flooded back and as some others have posted, it was in many respects, a typical game v Borethorn for us. We look like blowing them out of the water early so the "genius" rolls back and tries to make it a respectable loss. Problem was, our decision making and execution when we had a lot of the ball was terrible just the same. We couldn't pick our way through half the time, kept on kicking to Lynch one on three etc. etc. Looked better in the last quarter, we were a bit more patient and selective, but it was a struggle for a lot of the game.
Wouldn't mind betting we get a bit of the same from the Cygnets this week.

Come on mann.
Bygyongune shut Martin out for about 3 seconds.
If i see one more show spend an entire segment on why the opposition don't tag Dusty, thats it for me.
He is toooo good in the middle.
He is too fast and agile for the Tall defender and he creams anyone his height.
Now Shut the Fik up and watch him bring another Charlie to punt rd.
He soo fit its unbelievable.
Resting him forward is just a picnic for Dusty.
Should've kicked 5 yesterday.
I know of a couple of people who would normally attend but didn’t even bother because of the ticketing hassle, the uncertainty of how to do it, and if it’s changed suddenly and they’re not aware
My thoughts are, it wasnt our home game which kept people away.
Also the unknown of buying tickets, i usually attend games as a guest pass on a MCC membership.
However I am unsure if i can even get a ticket now so I havent even bothered trying.

Visitor tickets into MCC are still available,( $51 for an adult). MCC classifies game as a 1, 2 or 3 and allows visitors to suit (1=blockbuster and so on)
I’m going against the grain here... I loved the 1:10 start, worked great with the young fella .... drove and parked in the city, got a reasonable relaxed lunch in town, doddled out on metro, watched the match and then home comfortably in time for family dinner.... worked a treat.
I suspect if someone could be bothered to check our crowd v the hawks is usually only in 40,000s.
