The Moment: Rnd 22, 2023 vs Hawthorn

How good was his 35 sprint without bouncing too.

Awesome player, but made some horrible mistakes today.

That's the furthest I've ever seen someone run without bouncing it.
Was like the umpire had given him so much latitude he didn't want to go back on it.

Yep, I couldn’t believe it took so long to ping him. But before he did I was like Kramer seeing how far the car could go before running out of fuel. I wanted to see if he could get to the 50m line without bouncing it. Just needed another two seconds.

I have no idea how he forgot such a basic thing. But credit to him, he at least got the set shot in a more difficult range.

And yet, that was not our worst attempt at kicking out for the day. Not even close to English’s crazy one.

I preferred his kick behind Bont that went straight back over his head.

English looking further afield for himself to kick to was special.

“Where the **** is Tim. I can’t see him. If I just run I will see him through traffic”

I bet he was thinking "if only Jordon Sweet was playing".

Haha gold

[AshMac]

The second Libba got knocked out Newcombe stepped up and we stepped back at stoppages. As usual we did nothing to stop him and he was BoG

[Bulldog Joe]

In the 3rd when Naughton decided to kick around the corner on an easy angle with the wind blowing directly behind him.

You knew he didn't believe he would kick out, but kick that goal and we win.

I left the room quietly to regroup when that happened.

My moment is the entire third quarter.

Outworked, outplayed, out everythinged by a team of kids.

Really one of the worst quarters ever under Bevo. No goals with a breeze and the season to play for against the 16th side.

I agree with this. At various stages in Q3 the Hawks had nearly double the number of our possessions. In most of our other losses our workrate was still ok, we just shot ourselves in the foot with skill errors and poor goalkicking, but in this our effort was really questionable. We had no urgency, tackles were easily broken, there were always men free for them. It was our worst loss for the year given what was at stake. And then seeing us finally switch on, move the ball quickly and score, made it obvious that it was effort that was lacking.

The 3rd qtr and first 10-15min of the last was the worst footy I’ve seen for quite a while. We were complete witches hats and we were toyed with by a team sitting 16th of the ladder… it was embarrassing.

A huge difference was the immediate tagging of Libba and then Bont by Maginness and our failure to do likewise on Newcombe who won 40 possessions in the midfield with little opposition and accountability

That and his miss in the second. He's such a space cadet, I can imagine him laughing to his mates that he didn't even consider what the wind was doing and thinking it's OK.
