Autopsy Round 22, 2023 : Hawks leash the Dogs

[PenAndPaper]

Just leave these here.

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

Newcombe just announced himself as one of the best players in the entire competition

Announced? It's been a dissertation several years in the making. He's a PhD in sheer balls and class.

Dr Duke Newcombe, PhD

 

[Bugs1977]

I know we’ve had some questionable moments this year but fmd Tim English taking the kick in with 30 seconds to go is really up there

This is what I saw when he took that kick in

 

[SSSSSS]

Kosi was enormous today.

Wish he kicked the second goal. Would have been the cherry on the top.

He has a future.

 

[HairyO]

Newcombe brilliant as always.

Amon's tackle sealed it. Just huge. Ran a mile and threw his body in to it.

Day just goes everywhere and is so good.

We are still missing a lot of polish but so many positives.

Reeves owned English all day except for on the goal line when English over and over was the lone player in the contest.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Best win under Mitchell.
Absolutely spent. Mental demons after dropping close games over the last couple of years. Dogs were lifting late.

Said it during the game. Our players have lifted 3 weeks in a row when the opponent has gone the man. Most teams start getting rough and giving away stupid frees. Instead because we weren't retaliating, the dogs went extra hard and started giving away stupid frees

Noodle was immense and has started backing himself I'm contests

Duke was awesome. Absolute elite. He'd be regarded as the best mid in the comp if he was a top pick

Day huge in getting us back into the game

Finn the ultimate terminator

Despite dukes game, I thought kosi was probably best on ground. Provided a genuine target, stopped the dogs dropping off for easy marks. Took some amazing grabs in the last where if he doesn't the dogs are out and transitioning with ease

 

[Wingnut19]

Newcombe is elite and the rest are just catching up on it. But this was the Jacob Koschitzke game. His best yet.

 

[Lotus]

Goals makes us happy, but this. OMG!!!

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

Whatever Kosi has done to his marking since coming back in, bottle it and sell it.

His intent is off the charts. Love it

 

[Wingnut19]

DGB signs of life. Love it

 

[Roddy]

Kosi was close to the best forward on the ground today. Awesome effort. And Scrim as a key defender was terrific, very excited for him to move forward in this role.

What a win!

I’ve had a feeling about both those guys in the back of my mind, a feeling both would ultimately be great contributors. Both need to play for the rest of the year.

 

[JoeHawk]

Whatever Kosi has done to his marking since coming back in, bottle it and sell it.

Just needs more work on his kicking but good effort today

 

[JoeHawk]

DGB signs of life. Love it

Still not completely convinced

 

[SSSSSS]

Finn is the human eraser. Nevermind the iceblock.

Opponents disappear when he's around.

 

[pjcrows]

 

[Breustiful]

Duke and Amon phenomenal. Scrim was also back to his best. And Kosi! What a great last quarter.


Kids are doing well.

 

[Kuuz]

Newcombe guaranteeing he’s going to be tagged for the rest of his career after that game.

Not that it will stop him dominating. Just teams can’t let him have any space.

How I predict tagging Jai to go:

 

[Bugs1977]

Don't hold your breath...

I actually don't want him to because it just gets funnier and funnier as he tries to explain his way out of it.

 

[burger09]

We really should have won by plenty. Dogs were pathetic after half time.
Without Libba they are very soft.

 

[Bugs1977]

How I predict tagging Jai to go:

MRO incoming – 3 weeks for Newk

 

[robiecampbellbrown]

Huge win.

Newcombe had the best game of his career, what a superstar. It's unfathomable that he was a MSD pick.

Steal of the century

 

[SSSSSS]

Angry Scrimshaw is best Scrimshaw.

I'm not sure what's being said behind closed doors but the intensity Scrimmers has brought the last two weeks is exactly what he needed to bring his entire career.

 

[JoeHawk]

Newcombe brilliant as always.

Amon's tackle sealed it. Just huge. Ran a mile and threw his body in to it.

Day just goes everywhere and is so good.

We are still missing a lot of polish but so many positives.

Reeves owned English all day except for on the goal line when English over and over was the lone player in the contest.

And that’s where Reeves or someone should have been to apply some body contact

 

[RX Hawk]

Duke, Day, Nash Koschitzke & Finn (hope people are now convinced enough the important role he plays) take a bow. If we had one more real tall forward we could have won by 5+ goals.
The midfield has come of age and there is plenty of depth too in case of injuries.
I am not too concern about the back 6 - there again plenty of back up with CJ also if needed. It's the forward half we still have holes to fix. I am very confident that the club will focus on that area in recruiting this year.

 

[Sixpence]

Jai. ****ing. Newcombe! What a beast!

Umps tried their best to get Dogs over the line but they were no match for the Duke.
