I know he's only new in the role, but Gilbert McAdam is a shocker on the boundary. Have I missed something with his appointment?
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Yep. I'd like to see Wally go to him and make him more accountable.

He's not though. I don't get why anyone thinks this. Having ability, and being a good player are two different things.
It looks like I'm going to ctrl C + ctrl v my commentary for the year.
First one: we're killing these guys and keeping them in the game.
Second: I never want to see Suckling in our colours again.

Jeez, harassed them for a quarter and still less than a kick in it.
We need to find a mismatch up forward.
Or just tap the Bont on the shoulder at a critical moment.

Playing well but you know the lack of scoring is going to cost us.
Our small forwards haven’t been good enough in getting to the drop of the ball

Re: AFL Game Day Round 2, 2019 - Hawthorn V Western Bulldogs at the MCG
The intensity levels are the highest they've been since 2016 Finals. However it must be energy sapping to know that for all that dominance we have almost nothing to show for it scoreboard wise.
I hope we don't run out of petrol, because unlike last week we don't have a 7 goal lead as a buffer.

Aye. Gowers might like to make himself useful.

Re: AFL Game Day Round 2, 2019 - Hawthorn V Western Bulldogs at the MCG
Absolutely dominant. The majority of Hawks scores have been from us overusing it and turning it over needlessly. I really wish we had the ability to actually get some reward for effort.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Re: AFL Game Day Round 2, 2019 - Hawthorn V Western Bulldogs at the MCG
Lloyd really should be lapping up these conditions and the amount of ball we've had in the forward 50. I know he's been playing higher but his lack of any presence when the ball has gone to ground has been disappointing. These are the games we brought him in for.

Not sure he is capable.. would take away from him being the clone of Jake.

Midfield is killing these blokes yet once more our forward entry is atrocious

Re: AFL Game Day Round 2, 2019 - Hawthorn V Western Bulldogs at the MCG
We have to be ready and primed to jump them after half time and then keep the foot on their throats. Dominated that quarter for a poor return. Let's Go Dogs!

Re: AFL Game Day Round 2, 2019 - Hawthorn V Western Bulldogs at the MCG
Finding it hard to be negative we haven't played with this sort of presence in a long long time.. Naughton and Schache looking like a really good combination, they both lead at the footy yes please! Our mids are totally dominate, The Bont is playing midfield! Easton Wood is looking more like Easton Wood, Crozier is looking like 2015 Easton Wood, Bailey Smith is excellent with the ball in his hands and English just took a pack mark.
More of this please Dogs, the reward will come.

Really enjoyed our back 6 work rate and desperation today. Daniel, Crozier and Wpod6in particular.
English getting monstered at the ruck, but he's been super impressive around the ground.

Couldn’t agree more. This is heart and soul stuff. McClean and Dunke also Need to step up
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.
