was listening to the game on the radio and when walla ran out the crowd was so loud that it even sounded like the hawks fans were also cheering his return, then the tippa chants as he lined up for goal. great way to start the season
What I really liked was for the first time in years we seemed to have a gameplan to move the ball forward via kicking. For as long as I can remember we would regularly just hoof the ball down the line. It seems we have a lot better movement now.
I was at the game starting from the 1st quarter it feels like a roller-coaster since we kicked the first few goals and then Hawthorn got a couple back. I was happy of our trade recruits played Will Setterfield showed good pressure and was in around the footy and Sam Weideman was good at creating some contests unlike the Hawthorn forwards. Our ball movement was pretty good and our defence looks like is has improved only fault for the game was our forward pressure because there was a few times when the Hawthorn defenders got the ball easily out inside 50 and we at times we couldn't create stoppages inside 50 to lock the ball in. Overall I am very happy we got our first win of the season in the first game and it was great seeing tippa kicking a goal. Another brilliant video!
Parish, Redman, Merrett. Special mention to Perkins. Great leadership by Merrett whose tackling pressure got them going after the Hawks started to get rolling. Tall forwards still a problem.
My Votes 1 Mason Redman 2 zach merrett 3 Darcy Parish Archie perkins is a bit stiff but so many of our guys played so well including ridley, setters, Durham but it was a team effort everyone on the same page
Darcy Parish-3 Archie Perkins-2 Merrett-1 Honourable mentions: Redman, Menzie, Shiel, McGrath & Draper where all fantastic and could’ve got the 1 in my opinion.
my top 3 is 1. Darcy Parish 2. Will Setterfield 3. Archie Perkins I was at the game as well and all i saw today was a will setterfield X Darcy Parish dominance imo. archie played really well and i could even argue some ties at 1st and 2nd along with red dog, ridley was outstanding, Jonesy, Kelly and a surprising player that caught my eye was Dyson Heppell. not getting cocky still because it is round 1 and its a long season but the way we were playing is one of the best performances ive ever seen in my 18 years of living and that there is saying something. At our best we can beat anyone especially with a collingwood style ball movement and moving it quickly. UP THE DONS❤🖤
Watched all of this. Truly bruise free footy. Those hysterical about concussions would have loved this one. I’ve seen more brutal contests watching Australia v New Zealand in Commonwealth Games netball. You know it’s about as hard as a blamange when we see Darcy Parish starring like this.
Cant see any changes being made to the team this week. It would be a crime to make unforced chamges to a 10 goal winning side. I think Stringer plays once in the VFL before coming back and everyone else has to force their way in. As for my 3.2.1: 3. Parish 2. Perkins 1. Ridley Redman, Kelly, Merrett, Setterfield extremely stiff

@JAYMZE 6 I do for being a good captain so far but in terms of where every play was playing that game, there's been better players imo
