So lets talk about the Hawthorn Game
You know the one that we lost - pity really - but not so much Sack Cloth and Ashes
Anyone seeing what they are doing to Brisbane - they have become a serious football team now.
You know that Brisbane that has $6.50 for the flag v our $34.00
[Love the Game not the Odds]
[However, bit hard to love the game when Butler gets suspended for a legal tackle]

Only for Port to kick 16 in the first half last week and lead by 13 goals!

Re: So lets talk about the Hawthorn Game
Yep
The Hawks are playing good footy.
But as they are still rebuilding the last thing their brains trust would want is them winning too many games and missing out on a top 5 draft pick !
So at some stage a bit of tanking / list management will occur.

You have to wonder if RTB and SOS really want the Saints to finish too high ...

Re: So lets talk about the Hawthorn Game
Depends on whether they want draftees or are head-hunting mids. If I was a top mid outside the top 4, I'd like 4 years at St.Kilda.Waltzing St Kilda wrote: ↑Sat 10 Jun 2023 5:47pm You have to wonder if RTB and SOS really want the Saints to finish too high ...

Re: So lets talk about the Hawthorn Game
Jeez. Results are really going our way.
Probably cancels out the Hawthorn loss in some way.
Strange season so far.

Re: So lets talk about the Hawthorn Game
Or, maybe the Lions have also just hit a form slump?
Come on, we were still 20 points up in the final term and we couldn’t stop them kicking the next 5 goals to zip.
It’s a game we should have NEVER lost.

The fact is we were terrible against the Hawks. Poor in virtually every area. Poor work rate, terrible decision making etc etc.
Not at all like the team we were watching in the first third of the season, not like the team that played against the Swans.
The Hawks look good, but we were MIA. We made it a practice game for them.

Re: So lets talk about the Hawthorn Game
No idea, but lost something like 12 of their last 13 there.

Re: So lets talk about the Hawthorn Game
That's rubbish. Have a read of the first 10 pages of the match day thread vs Sydney if you want to get a feel of how we playedsaintsRrising wrote: ↑Sat 10 Jun 2023 11:21pmSainter_Dad wrote: ↑Sat 10 Jun 2023 5:22pm You know the one that we lost - pity really - but not so much Sack Cloth and Ashes

The Swans disposal efficiency was terrible. Their efficiency when going inside 50 was horrific. We showed resilience and fighting spirit, but that wasn't a polished game against a finalist contender
That's despite the Swans beating us at contested possessions. They also smashed us at clearances... even with Luke Parker missing
We probably played better for the whole 120 minutes in the game against Hawthorn, than we did for 120 minutes against the Swans. It's just that Hawthorn played champagne footy for the last 5 minutes of that game.
Same with us against the Swans. We had our purple patch in the last furlong and got our nose in front at the right time

Winning is ok. Not losing feels even better.
