Autopsy 2024 Second elimination final : Hawks roll the dogs

[TONYC3163]

You thought he was good?

He didn’t lack endeavour, which was one of your inane statements.

Love how Nuke went full beast mode with the red brave heart face paint. The match turned in our favour at that point.

 

[GruffSalad]

In a lot of ways Harry is made for finals footy.

He is cool and calculated with his disposal (which is vital when things are hot) and when it's his turn to go hard he goes hard.

Yeah mate, similar to Ginni in the second quarter. While neither might be winning the 100m gold medal at the Olympics, the extra second to spot a player in a better position helped open up the game even if there was a chance of being caught holding the ball.

Helps the other guys settle too when they can get the ball in a favorable position!

 

[Hodgey 15]

Rewatch time.

Might be a silly question but how does one find the Hawk radio call of the game, I can’t seem to find it on the sen app.

Liatening to SEN this morning they will have the full call on later today on the SEN App

Listening to Derm this morning on crunch time, he thinks we are system based not talent base compared to other teams, which could be worked out over summer by other teams.

He’s wrong. We’re made based on three ingredients. System, talent and the most important ingredient personality. The last one you can’t manufacture as much as other teams try and replicate.

Poor call IMHO.

We must have been watching a different game.

You were watching the same game, but your eyes were opened and balanced.

Same - the * board was the most amusing

Listening to Derm this morning on crunch time, he thinks we are system based not talent base compared to other teams, which could be worked out over summer by other teams.

And meanwhile they continue to evolve and change things up as they mature and gain more experience

Derm likes the sound of his own voice and this morning, it’s at a whole other level

While I agree to some extent, we are also still the second youngest list in the competition. Dear, Watto, CMac, Newc, Day*, Mackenzie, Ward, Ginni, Mass, Weddle all 23 or under.

Exactly right. 10 weeks aho he has a shot there

 

[smeltitdeltit]

I had a dickhead Hawk behind me and my mates and our kids bellowing out hate for Chol and Finn.

Then he stood and screamed obscenities at Dogs fans when they left in the last. He was just a classless piece of shit who thought everyone was enjoying his show.
I’ve never wanted to grab a hawk fan by the jumper and hurl them from level 4 before.

The Bronx cheer he got when he finally marked it was stupid too. Like don’t want him to get in his own head during a final? Weird

Unfortunately all fan bases have them mate. Winning just isn’t enough for some douchebags.

 

[Jethro!]

If only there was an app that gathers it all up in one place.

I think you might be onto something

 

[Coathanger]

Just another great team effort,kudos to Ward stepped up terrifically. Harry dependable in a crunch also.
Absolute standouts were Newc,Meek, Watson & Calsher, the whole backline stood up when required amazingly as well.

 

[Mojo]

He didn’t lack endeavour, which was one of your inane statements.

He lacked endeavor to consistently affect marking contests - just read the post in full next time.

It didn't sound like a Bronx cheer to me.

Yep . They give the rest of us a bad name.

I wasn't there but a mate was with his kids . He said some of the behaviour from both sides supporters was pretty ordinary .

Would have a guess most are 'supporters' who have jumped back on again . They normally are .

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Are they relocating to the Gold Coast Giants or something?

This Gold Coast Giants actually existed for a brief period in the NSWRL and for a glitzy place had the most bizarrely bland colour scheme and logo - was honestly like there was meant to be colour but they selected everything to be printed in greyscale and just went with it.

Love Derm, however he's the greatest coach never to have coached, IMO. As with every great team it's a synergy of both talent and system. No talent wouldn't be able to do what we do pretty much week in week out. The roughest part of last night was tossing up between Kelly on ABC or Derm on SEN.

 

[Off The Couch]

In relation to Chol, I agree with Hodgie - needs to attack the contest with a bit more intent and aggression, and last night that seemed to be missing.

He did though seem to lift after having what appeared to be an encouraging conversation with Sam while on the bench

 

[smeltitdeltit]

He got beaten by a defender who has been in very good form, and who is also a horrendous match up for him. Despite his individual fumbliness I thought he was still present in enough contests to have a positive impact.

Bingo. There’s a reason chol wasn’t subbed. Played a part

Lots of salt on the dogs
Pies were hot for us
Port knows a hurricane is coming & their ready to tie Kern to the anchor & throw him overboard

 

[KAMSTAR HFC]

Just out of interest, who gets the gate revenue from last night?

It was a Dogs home final, so I assume they got it?

 

[Ned Ryerson]

I've noticed a pattern that every player / pundit that has been out of the game for ages talks about us being a system, coaching, well drilled team, and all the more recent retirees or recently finished coaches talk about the exciting and more importantly hard working young talent.

I can respect Derm as a Hawthorn legend, but his perspective on footy in 2024 isn't materially better than Jono Brown's unfortunately.

Derm was an incredibly talented footballer and a Hawthorn legend. He’s an utterly painful commentator.

There’s no ‘working out’ players like Croc, Ginni and Watto. You can figure out our system all you want - those 3 are going to plague opposition defenders for years to come just like Cyril could never be figured out.
