Autopsy AFL 2024 Second Semi Final - Port v Hawks Fri Sept 13th 7:40pm EST/7:10pm CST (AO) Teams in OP

[RCAB]

Who did then?

Umpires

 

[CarnTheScray]

Ah of course not, but it would have mattered if you’d won that night……Did you forget who we beat?

Correct?

Yes.

Jarman Gimpey throwing his hands to his head after being caught cold in the dying minutes is the lasting image of Hokball. Little cheats had a game plan, got on a role and could’ve gone all the way. Alas, a 5 word online post steeled the opposition’s resolve and cost them the chance. Next year, everyone knows the plan, the umps know the tactics, and sh*t suddenly gets real.

You should give Jack your Wizard’s hat Watson, he just made a flag disappear!

100%, add chol flinging his head into the ground and then the little fella doing it to. Was caused by the player being tackled.

They certainly made Dogs flag disappear. How good was Ginni in the second quarter last week? Chin up

 

[demondavey]

Yes.

Haha. Can’t take your lot seriously. Have a word with your mate.

He also had his wings actually go one on one in a negating role. All year the Hawks wings have folded back to play as the 7th and 8th defender and then used their elite kicking with little pressure to kick-start their offence.

Their half forwards push up and play as traditional wings and the opposition wings get sucked into defending them leaving guys like D'Ambo and Amon to float free back and then have little pressure once they get the pill.

Last night the Port wingers just followed the Hawks wingers into their back half and created even more congestion and pressured them enough so they could not set up play.

Agree with all of that.

I think Port basically played man on man defence all night which the Hawks struggled with.

And then the Hawks dropped back to a zone defence when Port had the ball which left Port players free for chip kicks everywhere - which Port used to take the pace out of the game and gain control.

 

[RCAB]

Fact check.
Dogs didn’t win a flag in the 60’s.

Was it 50's... It was a while

 

[demondavey]

Was it 50's... It was a while

1954 they beat Melbourne.

Hawks have maybe a 3 year window. 2 left? Players still young but strategies get sorted pretty quickly by oppo these days, just ask Dees and Pies. The fantastic 2nd half of the year, has no real meaning for the future. A big chance was missed last night. They took Ports best shots, and were finishing strongly until Sicily's poster. Great game, but missed opp that may not come again.

Bloody hell - Hawks have gone from tanking rabble to a rapidly closing premiership window in 10 games

Ginni was better during the week when he posted on social media and cost his team a knockout final.

“A week is a long time in footy”

 

[RCAB]

Do premierships where you exploit the rules by rushing 15 behinds to relieve the pressure count?

Geelong have been rushing behinds all this year, more than anyone else. You rushed some extra behinds in 2008, we still would've won by several goals. Notice you had no issues with Duckwood, chappy and Stevie J playing for frees in 2008 but still lost

That's all good, we have plenty of years ahead.

It's a tough game!

Do you also think you'll live forever?

 

[QuietB]

You can’t disrespect a team that finished 2nd by declaring they are a walk over and not expect to get a reaction.

To be fair Ports's own fans probably pushed that narrative more than Hawks fans.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Ken apologized.
Sicily apologized.

Think we can all move on now.

Awwww have the poor hawk victims had enough... The rest of us will move on when we're good and ready, and not before.

 

[RonSon]

Hawthorn supporters of all people trying to take the high ground on sportsmanship is absolutely hilarious

These are probably the same people that defended Alastair Clarkson for all his many, many indiscretions.

 

[crackertiger]

Ginivan should apologise to the AFL community for being a cheating little Cockroach...

 

[demondavey]

Bang on

 

[SSSSSS]

[hawkman]

That 1 loss should of been by 100 points if not for horrible kicking.

Not 100 but probably more 70-80. You still did kick 16.14 so it wasn't completely terrible

Not too dissimilar to last night's game in that we were completely outplayed. Last night we held up better down back

 

[OneGreatClub]

All the talk is about Ken/Ginnivan/Sicily/Mitchell….

One thing that has gone under the radar is the filthy tactics of Hawks players grabbing their heads after a tackle.

Chol then Impey, trying to influence the umpires.

On top of the usual suspects ducking into tackles Hok ball is out of flavour pretty quick.

And getting stuck into Marshall’s head when he was down

 

[OneGreatClub]

Yeah exactly this. All good to have a bit of banter, back and forth.

Strange thing is the only person being aggressive and prolonging the exchange to the extent it impacted Bruests send off was Sicily.

Puffing his chest and arms out in an aggressive pose…w***er.

 

[Around the Wicket]

That Port coach is a disgrace, worst thing in sport is when your a bad winner.. hopefully they get flogged next week.
