Autopsy Round 10, 2023: Hawthorn demolish the Eagles

[Tuck In]

If ...

I have been riding the Hawks for tanking all season and they then win a game

Then...

I also have the remove draft picks bus in the garage and that will be fully fired up in the second half of the season.

Seriously, doesn't that feel better than a wooden spoon? Great for the boys, the spirit, the culture.

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

The third highest score of any team this year.

 

[Maybloomer]

Horrible Horrible effort at tanking from the Hawks.

First time a bottom placed team has won by +100pts?

Youngsters were terrific and whilst the result was always going to be a W the 4 quarter performance was most pleasing.
West Coast are Fitzroy level at the moment.
Guaranteed pick 1.

Preview of what could come when everything clicks.

Surely Weddle can garner a rising star nod this week. Mackenzie not far behind.

Good outing by the guys. Refrain from saying “great” because it was the eagles and their injury list is horrific. They couldn’t beat a lot of VFL sides atm.

Bit nervous for Reeves as we would need him against the Saints.

 

[Liverbird]

West Coast witches hats gave the team the confidence boost it needed.

Its the young kids in Weddle, Mitchell, Butler and midfield youth led brigade that excites the most.

Mitch Lewis welcome back.

It will take a couple of seasons although we will be back as very good football team in time.

I’m actually still dirty… **** me Lewis that was 7 gift wrapped. How’d you **** that

Nice to get the W.

Pretty even spread of players contributing today.

Would love to see Weddle or Cam get the nomination this week.

Confidence and skills building game.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Said at the start of the game would love to see a 100 point win and play outselves into an attacking mind set and that’s what we did. Very very pleased.

West coast really have nothing though

Are the Hawks foolish for hurting their chances of getting pick 1?

The third time this has happened. But the latest in the season that it has happened.

TBH Weagles are playing 4D chess here:

• AFL need to come up with a 20th side
• Weagles already playing like an expansion side
• Forces AFL to find a 20th side somewhere other than WA
• Weagles preserve their WA membership domination

Blanck was exceptional today.

Sicily with his best game for the season - no surprise as he was let off the leash with Blacnk back in the side.

 

[Blackhawk42]

A heap of players I could highlight, but one needs a special mention.

14 disposals and 9 tackles from one C.MacDonald. In 40% game time.

Also (and this doesn't need to become a roasting contest), but I don't understand how Chad gets his way back into this side when Brockman and Butler are putting in performances like that. Not a one time thing either. Brocky has been doing it every week and Buttsy has played his two best career games back to back.

 

[Kuuz]

Mood summarised for today tbh:

 

[grumbleguts]

If...
Hawthorn won by more than 100 points against West Coast

Then...
I've been wrong about them tanking the entire time.

So...
Hawthorn couldn't have beaten West Coast by that margin.

Hard game to review but the best positives

-Young guys all had really strong games . You can see the confidence building each game individually and as a group

• winning all 4 quarters
• midfield humming . This is why we needed to move a few on and develop a more dynamic midfield group . Get on top and grind the opposition with speed abd spread. This will hold us in great stead in 30-40 games against better oppo . Today was a look into the future for that .

Large game from Weddle surely thats hard to ignore for a RS nom this week .

We will roll a good side or two before this years out .

9 tackles is insane in the time he had on ground - nearly equal highest on the ground.



Man wanted to kill Blue and Yellow.

On point. Blanck will be a player!!

 

[Billyc]

Terrible opposition, but that was fun.

Nash seems to play a career best game every week at the moment.

Blanck the first defender to hold Allen to less than 2 goals this year. He was really good and is important to our structure. Sicily was able to dominate as a result.

Weddle terrific and exciting, as was Mitchell.

 

[Off The Couch]

So… it wasn’t as close as I predicted

I’m so glad that not only did the boys get a win, they handed out a smashing

We now know that tanking is not in the DNA

Unlike some others I didn’t mind the commentary as I thought Gerard and Kingie had a fair bit of positive commentary around our young blokes

Loved Jai’s game - so hard in and under and was rewarded with a goal
Brockman, Lewis, Weddle, both Mc’s, butler, Mitchell… the list goes on, all had a positive good day out

It was so good to see the smiles and the enjoyment in the room

Looks like he just missed selection in the school footy team and has nominated himself as waterboy
