‘Looks so poor’: Hawks problem ‘biggest blight in the game’ as AFL chink exposed

The Hawks were blown away by the Swans at the MCG on Sunday to see Sam Mitchell ’s side fall to 1-6 on the season.noted the Hawthorn senior coach was “starting to look more and more frustrated” including a fierce spray delivered to Jack Scrimshaw after a first quarter turnover.

“That’s horrible defensive planning or execution. We can pick holes in each team with a play like that across the course of the weekend, I think this is the biggest blight on the game at the moment – this trade up defence when you get it so far wrong.Montagna said the Hawks might need to “simplify” their defence as they “have not improved their team defence at all” under Mitchell in an area it needs to address to improve other parts of their game.

“The Swans want to play a different game. This is why their numbers in contest always look poor – they’re happy to ring the contest and live on the outside,” King highlighted. “This is why their kickers are so damaging, they leave you in redundant positions. So the strategy and the planning makes a lot of the statistical data irrelevant.”
