I have been impressed in the last 3 weeks with the ability to step up when challenged, keeping in mind we have lost a player before half time in each game which drops the win percentage well down, below 50% as I recall.
Plus some of the scoring chains are sublime to watch and remind me of the first quarter against Freo in round 1, 2014.
Battle is like a taller Ben Stratton. Hard, skillful and can attack. Plays on both falls and smalls although Stratts would rarely have played on a Curnow type. Love Battle
Might be the most satisfying win yet. I thought Carlton threw everything at us, and to come away with the win is extremely pleasing. Sure, we have things to improve but ultimately it’s just about racking up the wins at this stage. This was Battles best game as a Hawk, and looking like the perfect addition and added the flexibility to send Hardwick and Sic forward for a handy three goal return. With a few injuries mounting, moving forward I’d like to trial if Mcabe/Scaife Ramsden can strengthen our forward mix. Or give Weddle a considered crack. Shown glimpses and we have diversity of options down back. I am also a big wrap for H Hustwaite. Concerned he’ll end up like another Josh Kennedy, a future star for another club next year unless he gets his opportunity.
Loved the games by Ward, McKenzie &CJ. Will be very hard to omit going forward.
Weddle. Could be anything. But How many times did he get into brilliant marking position and drop marks, both overhead and chest marks. Did the same in earlier weeks as well. Gets very high then? Does he panic? Coaches need to work on it with him
3-0 is so much better than 0-3 #analysis
