Brandon Ellis has been very good ( again)

A rare game where we are dominating the hitouts. Soldo has been good with his taps to advantage.

[mightytiges]

Prestia's long kick towards Balta is spoiled through.

74 - 45

Sicily very lucky. Ball-up 20 out. Ceglar's quick kick is marked by Kmac. He misses though.

75 - 45

Balta is a freak!

Smart mark too by Higgo. But he misses as well.

Great win today

[Slipper]

A good tough win, but we are bloody lucky they didn't take their opportunities early.

[mightytiges]

Right now it is all about just ticking off as many wins as we can until our stars return hopefully in the second half of season. Having said that we were fortunate we were playing an ordinary side like Hawthorn. There were too many missed open targets and wasted F50 entries by us today that a top side would punish us for on the scoreboard. At times we just get too cute with the ball and needlessly turn it over when the boring obvious high percentage play is the much better option. At other times we aimlessly bomb it inside 50 when lowering the eyes is the better option. Happy with the win but still a lot of work to do in fixing these dumb disposals.
