    Autopsy Round 1, 2023: Bombers beat the Hawks

    There were two things that stood out for me. - Essendon coming out of the back line were able to create an over lap with an extra behind the ball. Once they created that our defender had to moves up, leaving their man to take the next up the field, creating the next free player, from there it...

    Strategy What is going wrong? A discussion of tactics, strategy and execution issues and how to fix them

    The results from the centre bounce have been terrible. Thats a pretty good indicator of how the mids have been performing from a neutral start. Is that the mid coach? Sometimes at the center bounce we seem to be setting up on the expectation we will lose. Players in front are focused on the...

    Autopsy Hawks survive a scare v Saints, Round 22 2018

    When Frawley went off for treatment he had a small round bandaid on lower back. My guess he was jabbed going into the game On [device_name] using BigFooty.com mobile app

    Autopsy Round 19, 2018: Hawthorn defeat the Dockers

    Liked Worple delivery inside 50. Brand attacking the footy, no holding frees. Has all the tools just lacks confidence. Tommy JOM Stratton punky great Celgar tap work follow up Miles looking good Defensive setup working hard and getting repeat entries, few go out the back too easy but all about...

    Preview Round 10, 2018: Hawthorn v West Coast Eagles, 27 May 2018, 1.10pm @ Etihad Stadium

    I think worpel has shown a bit just doesn't have the tank yet. I'd like to see a few more games this year, but should be better next year. Celgar needs to come in to help bigboy. Swap ruck and ff to have a big guy to clunk a few. If celgar isn't ready give Lewis another. Don't think he's there...

    The two simple rule changes that will fix footy

    Absolutely correct. The time wasted telling players the umpire is going to back out after the ball up is redundant. -Remove the backwards signal -Remove the nomination of ruckman. If a third man goes up pay the free -make the umpire just get the game started quickly so numbers cant get to the...

    Preview Round 3, 2017: Gold Coast Suns v Hawthorn

    I'd like to see brand and sicly retain their spot on the bench, needed to defend the high ball. Brand chb, Sis to take Gunstons role helping out deep in defense and going forward, allows Gunston to stay closer to goal.

    Preview 2nd qualifying final 2016: Geelong v Hawthorn, 9 September 2016, 7.50pm @ MCG

    I'd like to see mitchell start on the defensive side of the circle to stop danger/selwood breaking out of the center straight at goal. Got to force them wide or kick high balls

    Minor things that annoy you about the game

    Umpires having to tell the players at EVERY ball up or bounce that he will be running straight backwards and signaling backwards. Have you ever seen one signal they will go any other way. AFL wants to speed up play get rid of it.

    Autopsy Hawks vs Saints - tear it apart here

    I think if it was a big game gibbo and shoe may have played. The six day break and the need to get games into the kids may have swayed them. We'll never know but if they both play this week.

    Autopsy Hawks vs Saints - tear it apart here

    Got the 4 points. Think clarko is trying a few things, moving players around. Noticed lithers way up the ground. Got the kids some more game time and seen where their at. Expecting coaches will be identifying weaknesses and rotating a few through BH. Get a top 4 finish, have the squad ready for...

    Autopsy Hawks defeat Eagles

    Pretty sure I saw smith start in the square in the second half. Looking a lot stronger these days.

    Autopsy Hawks vs Eagles

    Looked lost going forward. Couldn't handle wce defensive structures. We tried to force our way thru the web. Need to change up our running patterns and lead in numbers so we can out number them at the ball drop. Several times this year when forced to go down the line we look crap. Always out...

    Re: Hawks vs Sydney Swans (Semi Final) Still gutted after Fridays lackluster effort. Our mids were hopless. Bails injury killed us. Out:Bateman (not fit out of form) Buddy (inj), bails (inj) In: Savage stratton johnson I dont blame the back for the loss against the cats, it was lost in the...

    News Teams: Round 10 Hawthorn vs Western Bulldogs

    Happy with no change. Breust will start after being sub for the last two. MUST make the sub someone that can slot into the midfield. Pointless having fresh legs come on in the 4th(breust) at play forward.

    Hawthorns Rucks – Moving forward.

    If Bailey can do what he did on sunday(without getting concussed) and roughy stays fit a can't see Renouf or Hale getting back. Bailey is miles ahead with his tap work. I didn't see the hitout to advantage stats this week but I'm guessing we were infront and that be the first time in a couple of...

    General Discussion - Hawks vs Swans

    The SCG is a CHF graveyard. If buddy plays deep to give himself space to lead there's still not alot of space at CHF. Rough will have to push futher up the ground so might as well spend more time in the ruck, say 30-40%. This will allow us to bring Max in to play 60-70% in the ruck and maybe...

    Minor rebuild required

    Players in the forward line is a problem, you look at lewis, just not quick enough to put that type of presure on. From a defensive presure POV I'd like 20m out Buddy Rioli Pup/Breust 35m out bateman burgs ozzie 55m out young sheils sewell 65m out roughy Renouf Lewis The guys 65 out can all...

    Minor rebuild required

    I remember seeing an interview with buckley last year when he was forward coach at the pies and they asked him what he instructed/asked of the new young players. Said something like he had a simple message and only asked them to focus on getting 2-3 tackles a qtr. Thats it. The rest looks after...

    Puopolo not playing at Box Hill

    yea but he will have plenty of time to react while it floats back:D

    Minor rebuild required

    No we don't need a rebuild. Its rd5 FFS we're still in it this year. Yes the loss was disappointing and yes we still have some of the same problems since 2008 but we can turn it around. I do agree that the CURRENT 22 on form won't get us a flag. But its April not September, plenty of time for...

    Are we the worst overhead marking side in the AFL?

    Yea his marking has improved heaps, just a shame he has about the worst disposal in the league.:mad:

    Review Xavier Ellis, time up?

    He's out of form, hasn't showed anything this year. Must go back to BHH and earn his spot so we can reward the like of Puopolo. We're not good enough to carry passengers

    Review Xavier Ellis, time up?

    Haven't seen anything this year to justify his inclusion in the 22. NOTHING. Playing on reputation. Back to box hill.:thumbsd:

    Are we the worst overhead marking side in the AFL?

    With zone defence you need someone with the ability to take a contested mark. It's why we stuff around with it so much in the back half because we have no confidence in anyone to take a mark. Lisle has to come in. We need someone on each line with the ability to take a pack mark. And if I see...

    Roughy to backline - lets have a poll

    voted yes. Its worth a try. End of the day these are only your opinions, noone knows for sure how it would work out and we won't until he's put back there. He had a go early on and wasn't any good. Then again he wasn't that flash forward those days either. He's a far better player now but...

    Yes again - Roughhead back!!

    Na you missing the point, Strats plays big, reads the play and takes a grab. He wasn't the big defender we were after but with him we could make do. He's gone so we need a replacement. Gibson just isn't big enough, gilham cant do it, murph when fit can't do it and shoes not ready. fact is our...
