Thanks Lads, really courageous of you all to do this podcast straight after the game. You all kept it real, your comments are fair. I standby my “no pressure, no tackles, off to the 2’s” comments posted days ago.
I didn’t watch the game as I gave us no chance when I saw the team announcement. I can’t bring myself to watch the replay either as I don’t know what can be learned. The writing has been on the wall for weeks now.
Am sick of watching certain players being rewarded with games each week after delivering regular substandard performances whilst other listed players are stuck in the 2’s. Hoping the Box Hill boys smash it today & some get their chance. Ned Long has been blitzing at the Pies & good on him.
It is also my belief that when you miss 2 weeks or more for whatever reason you come back via the 2’s to blow out the cobwebs which also gives opportunity & continuity for others which also fosters broader one team culture. Every returning player has been rusty on their return this year.
Bring back Hok, have fun, the tide will turn if action is taken. #GoHawks
Time to put the players in correct positions . Hardwick our best defender has been up forward while Elliott was running amok . Last week it was Cameron at Brisbane . Hardwick is the best small defender in the Afl .Also Sicily rarely fires up forward .Against Port Adelaide in last year's final ,he dropped a chest mark then fumbled picking the ball up and dribbled it into the goal post. His one goal was a snap shot .While he was up forward Port ran in 3 easy goals . Try Battle up forward ,last season we were leading St .Kilda comfortably Battle kicked 2 goals to bring them back with a chance .Sicily is dropping marks ,missing with his usual flawless kicking ,is virtually useless below his knees and cannot turn. Classic osteitis pubis .He needs a rest .
I’ll return for a comment when I can put what I think into words without blaspheming. Thanks chaps .
Going to the North game Sam and the boys need to LIFT!
Thanks guys. Great pod. Buck stops with the Head Coach, I’m afraid. Sammy needs to step up and own the solutions.

Watch Jeff White's analysis of the pies

this is exactly what we are not doing, we are doing the reverse and pulling back from the mark and giving easy, short kicks
