We've just got back from watching Hawks demolish the St Keystone Kops, whose blunders and deficient skills cost them at least four goals that I counted. We left about 2 minutes into the final quarter. The consensus was that on today's form neither of these teams will cause Collingwood or Geelong to lose any sleep.
The Hawks made their share of mistakes, but they do position themselves well for each other; if the ball has to be moved there is always someone to hand it on to. Roughead did well as a fill-in ruck, Buddy's accuracy seemed to improved as the game went on. Their midfield is persistent, and to run over the top of the Saints when you're down to one fit man on the bench is not a bad effort. We'll need to be on our game.
