Re: WB Game Day V Hawthorn R17 2020
Ok, so we won, but we will have to play a better 4 quarter effort next week.

Is there something wrong with me? We win by six goals and I spent the second half shouting at the TV.[URL="http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau"]http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau[/URL]

Re: WB Game Day V Hawthorn R17 2020
I thought the Hawks played really well in the second half. Put more folks around the footy and made it more difficult for us, which was to be expected given we were a rotation down.
There was no point in them doing anything other than to try and work us over at the coal face and I thought we did well to curtail it for most of the second half.
A lot of their goals came from us being a bit too fiddley and not killing the ball when we should have a few times.
If you had have put a six goal win on the table before the game I'd have taken it no problems. If you had have put it on the table after losing Toby I'd have taken it no problems.
Good result.TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment

Re: WB Game Day V Hawthorn R17 2020
Completely outplayed in the second half after being 40 points up in the first. Will be different story next week, Fremantle are a much better side and it is in my nature to tip them to win.Comment

Re: WB Game Day V Hawthorn R17 2020
Apart from that 3rd quarter it was a good performance. Remember the hawks brought back some big bodies and experience so it’s wasn’t the same side that’s been belted the last few weeks and the side that the saints only squeaked past. They were pretty hard at the contest today.
However that 3rd quarter we saw the same issues pop up and it’s down to our mids again. We were fumbling, reacting and not defending. It then put or defence under the gun. We need to reduce the amount of time this happens and then reduce the damage when it does happen. We’re getting better at it but not where it needs to be.
Aside from that it was a pleasing performance. English was excellent again, as was Bont and Daniel. Naughts was tremendous (got blocked off the ball 100 times again) and we got nice efforts across the board. I would say only Suckling is in the gun but with McLean going down he’ll stay in.Comment

Re: WB Game Day V Hawthorn R17 2020
Something we need to be mindful of is that if we keep going backwards or diagonally backwards by hands we often give up fifteen to twenty metres in territory and quite often we have to bail out by foot anyway. The problem with this that the further you go back the more you exhaust your defencive players and the further towards the opposition goal you bring the contest up field once you do bail out by foot.
Bail out earlier and you still have numbers behind the footy and a turnover is less likely to torch you. It's a minor thing against the poorer sides, but a big thing against the good sides. Sometimes you just need to take the territory and reset, and we're not smart enough to do that oftentimes.TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment
