It's great to win but what a substandard game. From about the third minute of the third quarter to almost the end of that quarter both sides seemed to be in a race to show which side has the worst skills.
Despite having a cellar dweller list Hawthorn always looked dangerous in attack by going straight through the middle.
By contrast, in attack we always seemed to go to the flanks by default allowing the Hawks to pack the backline, and then we would further oblige them by kicking the ball on top of our forwards who on a number of occasions got in each others way.
Is Teague too afraid to go down the middle for fear of the ball rebounding because of our poor foot skills?
Whatever the reason, what we are doing now is so predictable and it will cause us trouble against sides better than the Hawks.
