Sharks sink struggling Hawks

THE form of these two sides had been really hard to gauge in the weeks leading into Round four. Tarwin coming off multiple losses and Morwell East struggling to find anywhere near the sort of form they had shown in 2024.

The question was who would take the opportunity?

The answer was the Sharks, and easy!

“We had a great response from all of our players today and even contributions across the board,” Lachie Jones, Tarwin coach said.

“We took our chances with our ball movement and it showed on the scoreboard. Morwell East had some quality players and we stuck to our structures and didn’t allow them to roam free.”

It has no doubt been a frustrating start to the year for Hawks coach Paul Henry and his team, as they struggle to find the form they displayed just months ago.

The personnel are there but getting it to gel is proving to be a bigger challenge than anticipated.

“Another tough (one), it has no doubt been a frustrating start to 2025 for day at the office for us. Again, we were in it until halftime. We didn’t have a bench after half time but the boys busted their arse but just couldn’t hang in there,” Paul Henry, Morwell East coach stated.

The Hawks have time to regroup of course, but the doors will quickly close as they will soon face some of the in-form teams in the competition.

The league wants a strong Morwell East, the local community wants a strong Morwell East, but right now there remains a question mark as to whether the Hawks players want it as well.
