Definitely, even though we kicked, what was it 12 straight, they missed some sitters in that time.

Libba was immense, thought Schache and Marra had good second halves, Dunks solid as a rock, Naughty always dangerous. West continues his resurgence.
I'd rather we never play Crozier again and I just don't see it with McNeil or McComb - there has to be better options.
Harsh on Crozier. Apart from the obvious brain fade thought he was good tonight. Will keep his spot.

I wouldn’t use that word specifically. I’d just say it was unlike Weightman and not what we would want from a small fwd.
I will never see #16 the same!!

A foolish decision to play him. Does little for his confidence. We were fortunate that West Schache and Jamarra all played well tonight

I watched him closely and I thought he was ordinary. Flys high but doesn't impact the contest, poor decision maker. Duryea and Richards both injured hurts given we're also playing Williams up the ground, but Hayden is more of what we have - defenders who can't defend. But he also provides zero drive.

Re: WB Game Day V Hawthorn R15 2022
I am more concerned about playing injured players. Hope Cody is ok after the game and can recover

Re: WB Game Day V Hawthorn R15 2022
There's actually something for Weightman to learn through playing injured.
So if he's not going to re-injure himself/ do more damage by playing then he will need to learn to play with pain and impairment. The best do it and learn to do it at some point so for Weightman it may as well be now.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

How were the posh seats? I’m expecting a comprehensive review of what went wrong early and what if any subtle changes we made in the 2nd quarter onwards
More of an In Bruges guy?

Not a lot of atmosphere, but good viewing.
I can't ever tell what happens tactically, those who say they can are much smarter than I. We stunk it up with our usage early and weren't really serious about the contest until we decided we needed to be.
Hawthorn weren't able to keep up with our physicality and not cough it up. We got a bit lucky with some of their misses and took it away from them.
Our defence seemed to look a lot worse when we exposed them due to poor decisions and usage, which is a really obvious thing to say, but much of the malaise they experienced wasn't just down to them as it usually isn't with most teams.

Re: WB Game Day V Hawthorn R15 2022
Just saw the km's run tonight. Scott led the field 14.8kms! Next best two were Hawks, and Dunks and Gardner with 13.8 and 13.7km respectively.

Re: WB Game Day V Hawthorn R15 2022
Scott was good tonight. Think he might have had spells in backline after Richards was out too. A versatile player. Usually a reliable kick and handball.
