Autopsy AFL 2020 Round 6 - Pies v Hawks Fri July 10th 7:50pm AEST (GS)

[nahnah]

Really liked the look of Quaynor and Bosenavalugi cannot believe they have not played more, i wonder what could be holding them
back and what their nicknames are.

What were Impey's reasons for choosing the hawks over the dogs again?

Mihocek seems like a jerk

White line fever. He’s a good bloke. Real nice guy

 

[Freomaniac]

Dean margetts a huge in for freo - bigger than fyfe

Nope, I disagree. Margetts is a west coast fan. If anything, this won't help freo

 

[Vindicater]

Reckon we broke the pies last week.

Add in the fact that the Clarkson owns Buckley mentally and I fully expect the Hawks to thump them.

Well I was very wrong

 

[Boristown]

Well, what a tragic way to spend a Friday night: watching a bunch of over the hill Hawthorn players trying to play keepings off and doing it terribly, while Adam Treloar throws the ball rugby style whenever he felt like it.

 

[Guardian Hawk]

That is why Port got rid of him ..

he was good when he concentrated on Football .. but then he went off football and thinks concentrates about other things ...

he is now only going through the motions

In fairness he was 4th in the coaches votes, our leading goalkicker and probably leading our B &F before tonight. On track for AA too.

Not sure what happened last night.

 

[Guardian Hawk]

How did Richmond lose to Hawthorn.

Hawthorn actually looked pretty good to start the season. 3- 1 after the hardest draw and sitting top 4 having played 3 of last year's top 4. Continuing on from a strong back end to last year.

Last 2 weeks have looked absolutely terrible - not even playing the same game plan. It has been strange.

Deplorable effort from Hawthorn. Worst I've seen in a while. Players didn't look like they wanted to be out there. Great first quarter by Pies, but after that we seemed to drag them down to our shit level. If we put that effort up against GWS last week, we'd have lost by over 100. Wingard has gone from 4th in the coaches votes, and probably AA HF nomination to a guy who can't execute basic kicks under pressure in only 2 weeks, but it is harsh to point the finger at him with so many other under performing. The only upside other than Will Day's debut is that it is hard to imagine us being much worse next week (and 3-3 is not diabolical given who we've played, but our form tonight is massively concerning). We'll need a massive jump in form to get over Melbourne at the same ground.

 

[freddy mercury]

So many players being found out. They've been carried their whole life to premiership glory and now they've been found out to be ****ing terrible footballers.

 

[Saint12]

That was so bad I actually started to laugh at just how bad we played, how average the Pies were in a 30+ point win AND how boring the game was.

Utter trash. I can't believe I'm saying this but the AFL needs to find a way to change the rules to allow for a more free-flowing game. Also the Hawks need to just accept the rebuild, we have a good core 10 for the next 8 years, time to junk the rest over the next two years.

I'm watching the EPL more than the AFL and Brighton - one of the most defensive sides in the league - look more exciting in attack than half the AFL teams.

Lol Hawthorn have been winning premierships for fun for 30 years...first sign of trouble and " I'm outta here ".

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Need 16 a side then the defensive zones won’t be able to cover as much space.

Very fickle supporter base. A few lean years and half of their members will jump off

Half of their membership was the family pets, the budgies, cats and goldfish

Correct. Won flags in the 60s, 70s, (multiple), 80s (multiple) and salute again in 91. Played in 8 GFs in 9 years winning 5 of them. Ridiculous level of success but just a few years later they go within a bees d!@k of having to merge with Melbourne. Fair weather supporters not used to mediocrity. Five years of this and their membership will be a 3rd of what it is now.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Match can be summarised in eight words.

Get a lead. Park the bus. Game over.

They've played most of the good sides already so it's not as bad as it seems. But it's hard to see them winning the flag.

3.9.
That is all.

 

[BBC1967]

So ‘parking the bus’ defensive crap football deserves Prime time?

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Welcome to Geelong which 1/4 will each team play next week?

Collingwood blow us away in the 1st, Geelong come back in the last but leave too much to do.

 

[Yojimbo]

What were Impey's reasons for choosing the hawks over the dogs again?

I believe Alistair Clarkson took the trouble of going to his mothers house in Shepparton to meet young Jarman, but you may want
to confirm that with Clarkson.

 

[Yojimbo]

It's probably playing instinctive football and moving the ball quickly and directly towards their own team's goal that's held them back. Not to fret, I'm sure that stuff can be coached out of them.

Will be coached out of them.

 

[jackenny]

Hawthorn hate narrow grounds. That’s what I’ve gotten from their spankings at the Cattery, and now Giant Stadium two weeks in a row.

They’re a very well drilled side, still good at spreading out and playing uncontested football. But a bit of pressure on the mark and/or kick and they melt like butter. Narrower grounds destroy their ‘switches at half-back‘ game-plan, and their forward-line as a unit is one of the worst currently - so bad that any stab kick forward usually results in a bad turnover. During their three-peat they could drive the ball forward with near impunity due to the defensive work of their forwards alone (peak Puopolo, Breust, Rioli, and Roughead were great defensively, bottling the ball up in their forward half until they scored, and Hale used to counter/halve any marking contests against intercept specialists).

Hawthorn’s forward line needs a major overhaul, basically.

How many prime time slots have Carlton had in recent years ?

Ditto Richmond their style of play might have won a premiership in recent times. But its as boring as watching paint dry.

 

[STPer18]

Clarko is a genius. His tactics in 2020 of trying to win games of football without scoring goals is something to behold.

 

[piesforever20]

When the team you coach wins big but only really plays one good quarter

View attachment 909844

We played 4 good quarters. Stop bagging your own team. Scoring wasnt the best but they at least put the effort and intensity in.
