NAB Cup 2010

[Hellenic Tiger]

I know its early days MT I just hope once the game settles the guys being young don't drop their heads. As all young sides we'll look great and shocking in the same game and play. We just need to get consistency as the year goes on.

[tiger till i die]

were did they get these umpires from?

[jackstar is back again]

Rance not up to it, either is Connors

[Hellenic Tiger]

Rance clearly can't kick and that aint good enough. Too many errors by foot.

Said this last year about Rance.
the team intensity last for the first 10 mins and disppeared

[Tigermonk]

10 minute wonders

[Tigermonk]

Captain could stand up ya think instead of his skill errors

[jackstar is back again]

Rance isnt up to AFL .
Either is Connors.
Better off leaving Gourdis down back for the entire game and see what he can do

[mightytiges]

After the first 5-10 minutes intensity and heads dropped and we went back to old habits. Stopped tackling (frankly embarrassing attempts  ) and running off your man waiting to receive instead of blocking and shepherding to clear a path.

Rance might as not be out there. Gourdis at least has some size but he can't kick either.

Sadly no real surprise what we are seeing. Anyone who thought we won't finish bottom 2 won't anymore. Not good for membership though getting uncompetitively flogged first up.

[Hellenic Tiger]

I think the skills are letting us down.

The skill errors gifted the Hawks a few goals quickly and the heads dropped.
We laid 17 tackles in the first half of the quarter and none in the last 10 or so minutes.

Hawks have 7 goals from 11 inside 50's.

The skills are going to kill us. I now know how Melbourne felt when they got flogged by Hawthorn by 104 points in rd 1 2008 because that's where we are right now.

Skill errors done by players who have already been in the system for a few years is the scary thing.

Martin has been great. Gourdis done some nice things too.
Umpires have been mind boggling.

[Tigermonk]

Rance confidence would be better if Moore did his job properly

[jackstar is back again]

Nason looks alright

May help TM but Rance can't kick and when he does it causes a turnover most times.

[mightytiges]

It's not going to change the result but this umpiring is disgraceful. Martin lays a fingernail on Hodge and its classed as holding  .

[Hellenic Tiger]

Nason looks alright

Kids have been okay. Martin Nason and Astbury have done some nice things.
Its the Thompsons Whites Edwards of our side that are the ones that won't make it.
When making skill errors under no pressure is the awful thing.

Hawks up 55-7.
