It's fair to say there wasn't any real surprises at the results from the weekend except for maybe how teams won.
North weren't at their best but the Hawks were playing VERY defensive and thus scored a measly 3 behinds and will take a huge turnaround for them to not go out in straight sets next week, as I alluded to last week.
I'm not on the we-need-more-scoring bandwagon, I know the reasons why it's difficult, but just 3 behinds from 28 inside 50's in a final is definitely alarming.
The Blues had 1 of the quarters of the year with 6 goals in the wet to game to bed v the Eagles with only 6 other teams achieving a 6-goal quarter for the entire season - Sydney and Adelaide both in round 2 (Crows managed 7!) , North Melbourne twice in the same game in round 3, Melbourne and St Kilda in round 7 and Port Adelaide in round 12 - but none of those were in the wet in a final!
The Eagles are a season and half off really competing with the top tier teams but it's evident they have the cattle so we'll just time do its thing here.
Today we look at:
- Hawthorn Defensive Mistake
- North in Slow Play
- Another Hawthorn Defensive Mistake
- Roberts Pushing Forward
- Eagles Handballing Instead of Kicking
- Eagles Receiving Handball on Their Wrong Side
- Guerin Blitz x 3
- West Coast at Center Bounce Clearance
