I only caught the first and last qtr.

Interestingly, at 3/4 time, the internet had the whole club management sacked, and each player garotted.

And we were 40 points down lol

Not to say I'm happy to lose, but for example, the coach of the Millenium had the Hawks lose by 35.. and after 4 average years, you would think such a savant would have the Hawks better by now. Some perspective is needed, especially for those baying for blood and willing to bring the club down to their level.

And then we ended losing by 9 points.

We lost.. we played shit..we fumbled and missed goals.. everything looked really hard. Change is afoot and next year we will have a new coach.

In the meantime, we get through the year.. some players know they are on thin ice.. it would be difficult for many right now.

We played an excellent last qtr.. and credit to the ingrained spirit which goes unmeasured by real losers.

For the 2nd week in a row we lost the game at the selection table. FFS, it makes us incredibly slow and top heavy playing 3 ruckmen in the side. Please, Harvey, please, do not persist with Cox. He not only slows us down, does not take enough marks or kick enough goals, but he reduces the impact of Cameron by getting in his way.

I just wish this season would hurry up and end and we got a new coach. We are playing pretty shit football atm, and doing nothing which suggests next year will be much better.

Charlie Oneeye, I don't agree. Hawthorn always look to me like a team that knows how to play - but just can't, yet, play that way. Collingwood has a distressing game plan that is all about about ceding the territorial advantage to the opposition and then trying to recover from full-back. It's a recipe for despair and it makes for very depressing viewing. It's quite informative that the couple of times we've burnt the game plan because we were plainly done (Geelong and St Kilda come to mind), we suddenly looked a little less worse.

I don't think most are baying for blood. It'll be nice to see the back of Harvey, of course - but that will happen soon enough.

Basically as a few others have said, we played 18 opposition players out there today plus 3 umpires playing for the opposition and it got to a point where we couldn’t give a shit. Then something was said at the 3 quarter time huddle and the players came out with a different mindset in the last quarter and played a more direct style taking the game on and suddenly the whole complexion of the game changed. We could have almost pinched the game in the end but that would have been a disservice to St Kilda who deserved to win given what we produced in the first three quarters. The question needs to be asked why we can’t put 4 quarters of football together. It doesn’t help that we’re not selecting our best team out there. Our next coach who won’t be Robert Harvey has a lot to look forward to.

^ Exactly what MatthewBoydFanClub said.

WTF happened at 3qtr time other than the Saints patting each other on the backs and racking up their cue sticks? We looked like a different team.

Re Cox, I reluctantly agree, he’s trade bait. Cameron can mark and several times he and Cox got in each other’s way. One thing for Cox, he didn’t tap the ball to opposition players (lookin at you, Thor), instead regularly got it to ground where our onballers should be picking it up. Do we practice at training?
