Round #10 - Slaps and Sledges

Re: Round #10 - Slaps and Sledges

Slap - Griffen a class act
Slap - Morris, shouldn't be playing on guys like Buddy, but overall beat him
Slap - Gia - 22 disposals, 12 CONTESTED, 5 goals contributed and could have kicked three more.

Sledge - Our supporters for constant bagging of Gia

Sledge - to the 12 players who had 11 disposals or less (except Morris)

If you were to ask Hawthorn about the match up with Gia and Guerra they would tell you they were thrilled with the outcome. Guerra was BOG, had 35 possessions, kicked 2 goals, and set up another 6 from halfback.

I was pretty sure Gia was on Puopolo for most of the game.

yes he was, other than when Gia went to the centre a few times.

I watched the contest pretty closely, and they were switching Guerra and Birchall off him when I was watching.

Definantly Puopolo was picking up Gia, if the other two were on him, that would have been brief time. I went with a Hawthorn supporter and asked him about Puopolo.

From my POV, Guerra spent a heap of time running off Higgins. Collectively the forward group was pretty bad, but to attribute Guerra's performance solely on Gia is harsh (and I'm not a Gia sympathizer).

To bad we couldn't get him last year, he would be handy right now and probably thankful that the Hawks got in first.

Re: Round #10 - Slaps and Sledges

Slaps : Griffen, Morris, Murphy, Ward
Tommy for his goals and a couple of quality assists. Looked better forward
Howard moved well with the ball

Sledge: Getting to the contest with real intention.
Too often we cut out of close to boundry contests allowing "miraculous" opposition play. Manic intesity of effort is required 100% of the time. A few players waiting for a magic moment (Higgins #1)

Re: Round #10 - Slaps and Sledges

Slap:

The last quarter contest on the boundary line between Murphy and Rioli. Rioli pursuing the contest like a man posessed....Murphy showing incredible determination and balance to keep the ball moving to his advantage along the boundary. The ball ended up out of bounds with Hawthorn supporters cheering Rioli and Bulldog supporters cheering Murphy. Two class acts.

No matter what the state of the game, one of football's great pleasures is watching Bob Murphy with the ball in his hands. Should justly be in AA contention on his form this year, playing in a defence under enormous pressure.

The hawks supporters ejaculate every time Rioli gets near the ball.

Re: Round #10 - Slaps and Sledges

Sledge #2 The forward structures and forward defensive pressure has been woeful. Who shares the responsibilty for this? Who works with Brett Montgomery?

So does Bruce Mc. Sickening, although I would love him in our team!!!

I reckon I would too if we had a player with his sublime skill that loves just as much to get his hands dirty and do the defensive hunting on rebounder defenders.

Not since Peter Matera have I seen a player that can cause so much carnage with so few possessions.

His second and third efforts are amazing.

I can see why!
