Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 19 - Hawks v Pies Sat July 20th 4:35pm AEST (MCG)

[domus]

Can't help but think that Collingwood are putting McStay's career in jeopardy by rushing him back so early. I mean he literally did an acl within days of (supposedly) recovering from a bad medial sustained in the gws prelim.
I wish him well (and would be posting this regardless of Collingwood's opponent this week) but to have a rupture in December and be back playing at AFL level in July is absolute madness. I know the majority of posters here will think I'm a moron but it honestly reminds me of the negligence Melbourne displayed with Schwarz's knee injuries back in the mid 90s.
Just put him on ice til the pre season ffs and give him the best chance to avoid re-injury.

End rant

Goldsack did his acl in the last preseason game of 2018 and played in the entire final series including the grand final that same year and did a good job. That was miraculous.

pendles Long
cf: de goey McStay Elliott
ff: Hill Nick Daicos Richards
r: moore crisp noble
int: oleg lipinski reef WHE

i think its time to play moore as ruck will be the big change today and let cameron play down back in a swap.
kruger to fill the void of frampton there at chb.
howe down back.
forward line i have de goey and nick daicos there in the forward 50 with Hill and Richardsd plying deep in the forward line.
Nick at full forward.
On ballers i have Crisp and Noble Noble has a bit of bulk to him and provides musle there.
Long on the wing.
Welcome back Dan McStay there CHF.
Int has oleg defender lipinski mid reef forward and WHE the swiss army knife.
Sullivan as sub.
Must play Moore as ruck as as forward.
Maynard and IQ and Howe as the main stays down back.
Josh on the wing as per usual and Pendles centre again as per usual.
This is what i would do if i was Craig McRae

If we do this pies win.
Pies must make it a scrap and heat pressure game.
Make it tight from the get go.
Jump on it.
Scrag them.
If we do.
Pies win by say 12 points.
Hard tough old slog at the MCG.

 

[PizzaPie]

With McStay back in, you won't find many people that honestly believe any side will get within 100 points of the pies again this season.

 

[danster168]

Throw to Daicos. Of course not paid because he's a protected golden boy.

 

[Rod Stroker]

whatever happened to Reeves? I thought he was supposed to be their number 1 ruck?

 

[Delisted]

Meek came along

 

[LongSerong]

Watching Daicos roam around for cheap possessions off free kicks is hilarious

 

[Rod Stroker]

very quiet in here for what is supposed to be 2 big Melbourne teams. Deserves a bit more commentary for what should be a decent curtain raiser before the huge clash between the other 2 big Melbourne teams at Marvel tomorrow

 

[Osho]

Reefer MCinnes will be on a bit of a high after that goal.

 

[Rod Stroker]

That was a cracking kick from Naicos

 

[RAPPA]

Sicily having an absolute stinker. Put him forward

 

[bzparkes]

Wtf was Hill protesting earlier? Everyone watching saw him drag the ball under the Hawks player.

 

[Worm4]

Lol Kruger

 

[danster168]

as a leader you need to be better than that Sicily. Can't just carelessly burn the ball in d50. have some pride in your disposals.

 

[PerthBoy86]

God wish I was a Hawk fan atm, why can't we play with half the dare, ferocity and audacity of this team consistency.

 

[Walter H White]

Been looking forward all week to the Hawks ending the Pies season

 

[Osho]

Hawks have a good mix of rough diamonds and razzle dazzle.

But ... they should be 4 goals up.

 

[Pancakes]

Pies didn't learn from last week that kicking it off the ground is poor football.

That Ginnivan kid playing alright. Pies could do with someone like him.

Ginnivan cant run through the mark and then receive the handball

Pies should have 2 or 3 goals more too.

Luckily they have a first round pick this year to get a highly rated youngster in.

 

[Bloody]

Hawks should be atleast 2 more goals up imo. Left 4 goals behind and pies left 2

[SSSSSS]

We've been really wasteful. Should be at least 4-5 goals up.
