With the wind this quarter. Fingers crossed for higher conversion rate. But much better at hitting field targets so far this week

That goal McEvoy kicked come after he pushed longer in the back with one hand and acres was slung out of the pack.

Its so hard for Hawks to give frees away

Once again, ineffective in the forward line and not scoring enough. It's all good and well told the ball in our forward line, but it needs to result in goals, not stoppages.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

15-7 our way in clearance. 82% disposal efficiency but drops to 60% inside 50. Going pretty well all over. Must score more

First quarter go's to script. Complete domination apart from scoreboard. Our efficiency is diabolical this season

Because we've gone back to kick-it-to Roo. Its too predictable.

On the other hand, we only gave away one free kick that quarter. Go team!

Free not paid against Roughhead for clearly taking the Saint player out of the contest when McEvoy marked and goaled! We need to be more efficient with the ball- obsession with fast movement of the ball is causing turnovers and scrubby disposals to no effect..we don't have the footskills to do it well enough. Too many Saints trying to do too much with the ball.
Forward structure is crap- forwards need to lead more and provide options for players coming down the ground apart from kicking to a pack.
Looking good, but really need to be more direct.

Roo can't run today. They have to park him forward.
