    Autopsy Round 21, 2023 : Hawks roast the Pies

    Great Team Performance. So many highlights. Even Wingard (who is not a personal favourite) had a day out. Ryan is looking like a player they have tried to get for some time. Allows Kozitsche (sp) to have different match-up. Best looking forward line all year. Onballers went with/beat the 'best'...

    Autopsy Round 2, 2023: Sydney torch Hawthorn

    Where do you see Hawks after 6 games this year? 0-6? 3-3? 2-4? None in this draw will be considered 'easy' games for a developing list. Lewis would make some difference, but just need to find avenue to goal in his absence. Initially talking 5 wins for the year would be a good outcome, but need...

    Autopsy Round 2, 2023: Sydney torch Hawthorn

    Field kicking and decision making very poor today. Sydney were well drilled and played to a plan. Hawks still seem to be working it out as they go. Sorry, Kosi is not doing enough to hold his spot, and not sure he ever will get there. Granted inside 50's is a massive concern because the ball...

    Autopsy Round 12, 2022: Hawks pipped by Magpies

    Looked proppy after the ankle twisted under him which is not great given he relies on his running/movement. Hope it is not serious as per comments above would suggest! Umpires were bad both ways. Newcombe, Reeves, Lewis, Hardwick, all good. I am also happy with Nash playing as a big body in the...

    AFL Grand Final AFL 2021 GRAND FINAL - Demons v Dogs Sat September 25th 7:15pm EST / 5:15pm WST (Optus) Congratulations Demons! 🍾🏆 Match Highlights in OP

    Whatever the outcome, should be a great game. Dogs have done it the hard way to get there, and Demons did everyone a favour by beating Geelong! Not sure Max Gawn could play any better than he did that night. I have seen him miss them from 10-15m out and he was kicking them from everywhere that...

    Autopsy Round 5, 2021: Hawthorn defeated by Melbourne

    A much younger team, a lot of Skill errors, lack of judgement, pushed aside in some of the contests, and a lot of 'passengers today. Like it or not, tt will not happen overnight. They were well in it today up until 1/2 time. Like a lot of young teams, got rolled over in the second half. The...

    Autopsy Swans defeat Hawks

    You can't be top 4 year after year. The AFL has done their best to make sure that doesn't happen. Add a string of early season injuries and you're on the back foot. Add to that a couple of forwards who have patchy form (Gunston, Breust) and no established big forward option at CHF or FF, and you...

    Autopsy Swans defeat Hawks

    There is a lot to worry about for the Hawks. Smashed around the ball, in the middle, and forward line is in and straight out. Far too many passengers. Game plan does not work with the average skilled players we have. Frawley Puopolo, Roughead, Obrien, no good. Sicily, McEvoy, Bruest and Gunston...

    Game Day Hawthorn v Carlton, 3.20pm

    Smashed around the middle. Missing targets left right and centre. Poor forward entries. Kicking to 3 on 1 contests. The list goes on. When they move it quickly Hawks look good. Shows in this qtr what happens when they lead up and provide options.

    Autopsy Snow bunnies beat the Hawks

    True. Missing simple goals (Gunston 2.5?) not taking contested mark in the forward line and having too many passengers lost the game. Couple of really sh*T umpiring decision at crucial times, but Demons took their opportunities and too good in the end. Not sure Roughead has another year based on...

    Heathcote District FL 2018

    Maybe, but they are failing to pick up the basics. I realise it is difficult to even get umpires, but I am damn sure they still get paid every week for the poor job they seem to be doing. It is not even a case of missing frees, just pay the same frees all day and both teams will be happy (have...

    Heathcote District FL 2018

    Has been a good player in this league. Obviously hate to see anyone finish this way, but there is no real evidence that helmets stop concussions. Watched Colbo get totally outplayed by Huntly on weekend. Colbo didn't stick to a plan and field kicking was terrible with numerous turnovers...

    Heathcote District FL 2018

    Bit quiet on here, Who's the tips for this week? Watched Colbinabbin v Heathcote last week. Colbinabbin looked in control for most of the game running out comfortable winners. Not sure if Heathcote was missing a few? Have Elmore improved much over last year? I know they have signed a few in the...

    Thanks. Is Brewster staying at the Bloods? Any other news out of Elmore - signings, leaving, etc?

    Goulburn Valley FL 2015

    In a perfect day for football, Rochester turned it on at Moon Oval winning by 77 points. Rochy pretty much controlled the game from 2nd quarter onwards. They used the ball well with Watson, Stroobants, and Brennan the stand outs for me. Flaherty also very good, did not have tonnes of...

    Goulburn Valley FL 2015

    Let's hope not. Hopefully can regroup and progress all the way into GF. Rochy would have to be due for a home final anyway after playing Seymour at Seymour and Tatura at Tatura in recent years.

    Goulburn Valley FL 2015

    Add another week for the bye next week after playing today. Good to have him back. Ugly game of footy with Rochy finding a way to get over the line against Mooroopna. Stacking backline by Mooroopna was good tactically, and made it a "2005 Sydney-esque" style game with low scoring and a heap of...

    Goulburn Valley FL 2015

    Rochy have been very ordinary in finals series the last few years. Saying that, can't remember when they have been 10-0 in a season before. I hope they can continue their current form at the pointy end of the season. Still couple to come back in (Sanders, Brennan) which can only help their...

    HDFL PreSeason 2014

    130 by Aaron James in 2009 is the record I think. Weeksy could beat that easy enough I would think, especially if he doesn't get any injuries.

    Goulburn Valley FL - 2013 Season

    Rochy back on winners list this week beating Mansfield by around 5 goals. Weeks kicked 7. Bigger story is Sam Frawley in the 2's, kicked 15 goals today. Not a bad day at the office. 26 goals in 2 weeks.

    Goulburn Valley FL - 2013 Season

    Bowen has been good for most of the year down back. Saturday's game was the best I've seen them play this year. Big test for Rochy will be against Mooroopna this week. Hopefully Rochy can get up and get a bit of a buffer from the pack.

    Goulburn Valley FL - 2013 Season

    But you don't allow opposition to get away with cheap shots which United did all day. The Rochy Runner was definitely not throwing punches, from where I was (yes also about 15m away) looked like he was trying to get the players away and copped a stray one. "Going the knuckle" implies that Rochy...

    Heathcote DFL 2012

    See Leitchville beat Huntly by 6 goals. Bit of a turnaround from last week for Huntly where they knocked over the reigning premier Locky. Anyone see the game? How did Shadbolt go?

    Goulburn Valley FL - 2013 Season

    Went to Rochy v Tatura today. Tat by 31 points at the end. Tatura smashed Rochy around the ball and kicked early goals, leading by 5 goals at quarter time. Kirby and co were dominant. Rochy made some headway in next 3 quarters but couldn't bridge the gap. Thought Gledhill did an excellent job on...

    Goulburn Valley FL - 2013 Season

    Saw the big fella in action today at Moon Oval. Would have been in the best 3 for Rochy. Good hands and as stated, moves well. Hopefully have McLinden next week which would be handy. Thought Bowen played a good game on Newman. Cuttriss had a field day for 3 quarters kicking 6, not bad return for...

    Any thoughts on Rochy v Tatura today gents? Hopefully its a good contest (and Rochy gets up!)

    Heathcote DFL 2012

    Not wrong Rowey. NB never really looked like it for mine, Locky far to quick and NB seemed to be second to the ball. NB were always a long shot from 5th, but thought it may have been a bit more fiery, especially early. I left before the end, but thought Bongiovanni and Main were good.
