For those playing at home, the issue wasn't what we did, its what the hawks did.
They were able to get 6 to the full back line and run out of defense whilst we were content to keep entering deeply.
We should have been eyeing off spares up the ground but the hawks were disciplined and we had too many trying to press up which meant they could rebound easily.
That was their only game against us, playing counter punch footy and I think voss was happy with that because it allows you to attack as you need to. Where it broke down was the ability to bring the ball to ground in the forward line.
Credit to hawthorn for making our strength our weakness.
The art for our boys is knowing how to change it and react because we were stuck trying to ram it in and didn't do enough to create separation in the forward line. At least that's how I saw It.
