Autopsy AFL 2022 Round 13 - Freo v Hawks Sat June 11th 4:10pm EST/2:10pm WST (OS)

Good half of footy. Hawks are up for it big time. Need to lift second half.

 

[Jiggyman]

Very watchable game thus far

 

[pablo668]

Yeah, Freo really need to pick it up, a lot.
Hawks, great first half, and I might add very good coaching by Mitchell.
If Hawks can keep this up they will get the win.
This is why I usually keep the lid on as a Freo supporter.

 

[Lsta062]

I don’t understand Hawthorn. They make it look difficult against middling to low sides but play like this against most of the top sides.

 

[largebus]

Hawks should be 4 goals in front. Our defence has been shocking.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Freo haven't even been bad, the Hawks have brought the heat. Let's see if they can maintain it for four quarters, they've had a couple of late collapses this year (Swans and Bombers).

We generally play a watchable game every week

TBH I think Freo are in danger of becoming this kind of side, not turning up for the games they should win easily.

Might not be getting the wins but I think you guys have been playing some very good footy this year. Definitely on the right track.

 

[mattpolo8]

Hawks defence is elite with Jiath, Sicily, Scrimshaw etc

ease up turbo. That 'elite' defence has leaked the 4th most points this season so far.

Yeah I understand where you’re coming from with that. Fremantle struggled a bit against Adelaide, Collingwood, Gold Coast, and now Hawthorn.

Having said that, it’s a good thing to turn up in big games as you wouldn’t want the opposite to occur. Fremantle have a pretty good record against the top 8 as it stands.

 

[raffrox]

Logue gets pushed under the ball a lot, needs to learn to hold his ground.

He seems to be misjudging it today for some reason.

 

[HairyO]

3 dropped marks in 3 minutes but Freo failed to capitalise.

They are rattled.

Fyfe cooked already. Probably should have had a week in the Reserves but Freo thought this was a Reserves opponent.

That's due to our game style, not our backline.

He did.

Similar could be said of Freo. Beat the other top 4 teams, lose to Suns and Pies and possibly Hawks.

That is partly because only WC and Roos have given up more inside 50s than us, and the gap to 4th worst after us is fairly large. It is also not just the number of inside 50s, our mids have generally done a poor job of putting pressure on the opposition guys delivering inside out defensive 50. We're probably also missing really good big KPD, to complement our other defenders, which can hurt us at times.

 

[WilloTree]

Pretty clear holding the ball.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Boundary ump has a killer mullet

 

[Lsta062]

I hate these 50s

 

[Plugger35]

Umpires trying their best to drag Freo back into the game.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Freo will run away with it from here - 42 points.

 

[Plugger35]

The Hawks won't be denied.

Great contest.

 

[mick500]

Hartigan, the gift that just keeps on giving... goals against his opposition.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Shoot out so far
