Autopsy AFL 2022 Round 7 - Demons v Hawks Sat April 30th 4:35pm EST (MCG)

[Leeda]

I quite like what Hawthorn are building. I mean like as in respect coz I'll never really like anything about your mob, but it's very Hawthornesqe. You don't stay down for long

I like the scenic route you need not prostrate yourself,….you have us all worn out

 

[Xtreme]

For sure, 17 goal moral victory for Hawkies by my count.

Still too balanced to emulate the great one. Be more Xtreme please.

I hate using the ‘stomp’ method{

 

[RandB]

Not great that we let Hawthorn kick the last four goals but happy to pencil in a win. Hawthorn have played some fantastic footy this year.

 

[Tap Tap Tapperoo]

Similar to early last year, we are just doing enough without blowing teams away. Hawthorn are looking a hell of a lot better than I thought they would, and they were stitched up on the umpiring front too. Two weeks in a row we’ve had the favour of the umps.

I'd be pretty disappointed if I was a Hawkie supporter right now.

Not really. 10 point loss against the reigning premiers after we kicked poorly at goal, and endured a massively lopsided free kick count. Melbourne had a few outs, but so did we, and going in missing our two best ruck options due to injury was unfortunate against a team with Gawn in the ruck, and he quite predictably smashed us. 5 day break probably didn't help either. Did not drop our heads in the last quarter like we did last week against Sydney. Overall, I'd say most Hawthorn supporters would be relatively pleased with the effort, just a pity we couldn't kick straight, given the final margin was within 2 Ben Brown flops.

Good game and well done to Melbourne

I know Melbourne had a few out (we also had a couple)

So sick of the commentary banging on about Melbourne’s outs without acknowledging our three big outs.

Those supporters must have low standards.

You played a team missing it's senior coach, 5 premiership players, and with another two crucial players coming back from COVID (and visibly hampered). Melbourne has been up for a long time and due a "down" game, which I thought was going to be this one. We were clearly in second gear, even before we had to activate the sub as one of our key defenders were injured, but you then let us walk all over you in the third.

Hawthorn drew last year, after having lost pretty much every game to Melbourne since Jesus played half back flank for Jerusalem. I really though you were gonna win and I think it reflects very poorly that you couldn't with so many Melbourne players out and/or down on form.

Who were they?

 

[xmarksthespot]

Who were they?

Lewis, McEvoy, Reeves, Jiath are the injured. We rested Grainger-Barass and Ward who have played every game this year so far.

You do realise that Hawthorn had 5 players missing too, yeah? Coming off a 5 day break.

I mean, come on, we had to play a 1st game forward as a second ruckman. Was it not obvious?

No doubt Melbourne were missing players, but the reach-around the commentary gave Melbourne while completely ignoring that Hawthorn 1) don't have the same depth to begin with, and 2) also had players missing got a bit tiring.

Don’t engage with Donkeys.
