Match Thread Saints v Hawks Round 11 2023

[realdeal]

Hawthorn midfield dominating

Will Day, Jai Newcombe, Connor Nash and James Worpel

What an opportunity missed where Windy and Bytel could have gone head to head with 2 of their young blokes

We needed to mix it up 5 weeks ago. Nothing has changed and instead of competition for spots we see mediocre performances weekly from those who are ‘best 22’

Oh yeah…they all keep their spots for next week because we have ‘selection integrity’

Its become a huge worry hasnt it.

Not sure how the selection committee cant see it....

[Scollop]

Is that a goal assist for Crouch even though it was another shocking entry inside 50?

[The Fireman]

Nwm class

[Teflon]

And different midfield mix???
Sincs in guts
Some run
Win footy

[Otiman]

Marshall in the Max King fan club right there.

[desertsaint]

well done kingy!

[The_Dud]

Much better start to this half

[The_Dud]

Howard is just not a very good defender.

[Winmore]

Howard a liability.

[Otiman]

I think we went too hard on being a running side, lost too much bulk and are not physical enough to win contests and clearances.

[desertsaint]

nice byrnes.

Steele has certainly never looked his normal self pre or post injury.

[Teflon]

They are winning every contest
Once that ball is outside we are nowhere near it
Just hanging in here

[The_Dud]

We are constantly two steps behind them, and can’t stick a tackle to save our life

[desertsaint]

dont pass this one off sharmy

[The Fireman]

Sharman going well

[The_Dud]

Straight kicking is the only thing going for us it seems, feels like Hawthorn are playing better everywhere else.

[Teflon]

Really accuracy has us in it
We at least won a few clearances that quarter which meant we played in our 50 but when they move the ball we are a step behind them
Is it me or do they look bigger/more solid? They brush us aside a bit

[The Fireman]

We are beating the better side

[The_Dud]

Sharman going well

Yep

[Winmore]

I hope we don’t roll over this atr..

[Otiman]

Sharman and Caminiti playing better than their stats (6 and 7 disposals) suggest. Plenty of body in the contests.

[desertsaint]

crouch has had a good game - steele and ross seem to be having the day off. they should be fresh for a big last quarter.

[desertsaint]

well done butts. again.

[The_Dud]

Butler knows how to find a goal.

What happens now, pull our finger out and put our foot down, or scrap to a 3 goal win?
