Hawks slaughtering the Crows at this point. Total lack of pressure from the Crows. Hawks look like they brought their own footy

I hate Hawthorn.

Not sure how I'd feel if it were us 64-14 right now. I'd probably be in the car park taking advantage of a quick exit.

May be better preseason wise going out like we did rather than getting destroyed by the Hawks.

I'd like to think we wouldn't allow to have three Hawks lining up in the middle at the very least

Was thinking the same thing. We're not ready yet, but we're close.

Lack of pressure from the Ravens, and it's a difficult gig for a small forward when he's under pressure like Betts is.
Noticed hawthorn have pushed back hard to help their defenders as well.

It's amazing what team defence can do for a side. Ours was pretty ordinary for much of the game last week and we let them take advantage of us and get their tails up.

Hawthorn are closing out the MCG perfectly.

I'm more pissed off now than I was last week. Adelaide are nothing more than a middle of the road team and we made them look like millionaires.

Betts zero possessions - amazing what having an opponent can do.

Yep. It's frustrating watching the lack of almost everything they bought last week.

How would we have gone v Hawks tonight?

Saw them v Swans @ the SCG. They were utter crap that night on every level.

Seem very inconsistent.

I'd imagine we'd have been beaten by 40-50 points. We'd have been better than the Crows but I can't see we'd have got close to the Hawks in that sort of form.

Yep - Hawthorn showing us how average Adelaide are when you actually apply some defensive pressure. A notion that we took on board earlier in the year, but for whatever reason, failed to grasp last week.

Still not sure who to blame re: Betts playing by himself. Morris? Coaching? Either way it was damn ridiculous.

I don't blame anyone, we thought we could beat them in a shoot out and should have, we missed goals we should have got and stuffed up when we had the chance in other areas.
A young side on the big stage a good experience and sometimes you learn more losing than winning.
I am every proud how our team Didnt get over roared by finals football and went for it.
I love the idea of score and win, back yourself and instincts than the defensive style of players trying to change their natural instinct and losing total confidence, not enjoying the game and ending up
Like Melbourne.

The only saving grace for me is that tonight shows we are still a long way from the top 4, and losing in week 1 of the finals will not give us a false sense of where we currently are, which a week 2 loss or a PF appearance might do.

We know we are miles off the top 4 pace and have an enormous amount of hard work to do to get to that level in the future.
