Good times don't rely on one player
Hawks hsd roughy and Gunston have no goals Thursday
Guess what. 13 others stepped up to the plate
Dusty player his part but Grigg Edwards lids how did they go?
fair point, but why then single out two other individuals? There was probably only two or three players who could hold their head high Friday night.

Agree
But the Hawks also have outstanding leaders. Even Clarkson has said Hodge is like a coach out on the field. He has great ability to drag his team along when needed.
It's no coincidence that the top sides have strong leadership
You mention Lids? He is our Vice Capt, and he went missing last night as did the entire leadership group.
That's why I keeping banging on about our leaders going missing at crucial times, in big games. They need to take the next step in their leadership to enable us to take the next step as a team.
The entire side went missing last night! Blaming just the leaders is stupid. Going on what you say, if a leader, Cotch or Lids has a bad game, they have failed as a leader?
As I said before it's such a simplistic way to judge leadership
I dont think anyone is blaming the leaders, but surely they are the ones that you expect to stand up when the chips are down, isn't that why they are leaders, they are supposed to lead the way, set the example?
Isnt that what you meant with the Dominick Cassisi type comment, someone that constantly plays well despite what those around him are doing?
Otherwise they are just a follower.
I will never understand how people can accept a D grade performance from an A grade player, but get stuck into the B and C graders for their D grade performance.
Personally, i want players to strive to always be their best ( Yeah i understand it wont always happen that they always perform to their absolute best) and when someone who has set the bar as high as Cotchin has dishes up such a poor performance, criticism is warranted.
I dont subscribe to the school of thought that just because he is so naturally talented he should be absolved of scrutiny when he dishes up something so far below what he capable of. The exact opposite in fact, particularly when he is captain.
