Although we lost I think this game gave me more confidence about the season. To fight back from what looked like being a spanking was impressive and showed character. I would love to see Finn Maginness succeed but his decision making under pressure is poor. He seems like a very serious kid from watching training videos and just general observation. Maybe he just needs to lighten up a bit. Go Hawks
Agree with your point on Finn. Feels like a player that needs to get used to the pace of AFL. Not everyone can hit the ground running like Connor MacDonald and Ward.
A good game and so close. Amazing we came back and almost won it. If Carlton are as good as advertised then Hawthorn is a Top 8 team. This very young inexperienced team should have folded like an origami crane.
One thing I noticed was the vision of the rooms post-game. Mitch was getting to all the boys, didn’t have a solemn look about him - definitely appeared to be conveying a lot of positivity to the group.
It was the players who looked flat, to me that shows that Mitch has instilled in this group a genuine belief in the playing group that they can win every game, but at the same time without expectation.
Therefore, my completely uninformed take is that Mitch will hold the team accountable by their effort, but the players will hold themselves accountable for wins & losses.
As far as my expectations go, I’d just expect that no other club will roll into a game against the brown & gold already believing they have four points in the bag.
Another ripper of a game synopsis chaps. Haven't stopped thinking of the game since it happened and ably fuelled by the exceptional HI that keeps coming. Take another bow, HI team, and keep the great content coming!
Hell yeah! For that pump up, I'm going to try and recruit a few more subscribers! I am going to twist the arms of at least a few of my patients to get onboard! I have a good reach of Hawks supporters who attend and I will be sure to spruik the virtues of your great movement!
