Autopsy Hawks v Blues

Poppy's last game for the Hawks IMO. Not the pocket rocket he used to be and has lost a few metres in his kicking. Can't see him going another year, at least not for us.

Sicily deserves to get dropped for that game. Stupid. Don't care who's on you, or how the umps are looking one way. Giving away 7 free kicks is abysmal and was down right ******* stupid. Gave away about 4 or 5 goals with his stupidity.

Hartung. So good yet so ******* awful. Game pretty much summed up Billy. So much potential shown but yet so disappointing. Take away his last quarter he was very good but for a bloke who has supposedly elite endurance, I can't fathom how he made two huge brain farts in the last two minutes. Still was one of our better on field which says more about the team than it does Billy.

Henderson. Was woeful. Not taking Curnow's body in the 2nd quarter late was just disgusting. Burton should have been filthy on him.

That's all I can think of now. It was fun while it lasted. Guess all streaks gotta end.
Id argue henderson was fighting schoenmakers and o brien for worst on. Decision making and skill level were putrid all night, the bruest kick wasnt even kicked properly to him, low and hard and jones wouldnt have even got near it, just floated it in the direction of bruest, there is a reason the crows turfed him. He will be spending time @ BH next year with vickery.

Way to many passengers and what's worse they are not even tradable - honestly who would want Shoey for example but we cannot carry both him and TOB -

absolute shocking lose but in a way doesn't surprise me
 
In 25 words or less can someone please explain to me what TOB, Schoey, Duryea and Breust add to the best 22 that's not build on reputation?

If Breust is not on the trade table this year we are kidding ourselves! I'd rather we have kept Jordan Lewis than give Breust a game. Seagulls soft kill goals, does nothing in games when the heat is on and is made to earn his own footy!

And every time I see TOB wearing that No.23 I just want to cry! Another 7 quality disposals tonight. Can we just admit the experiment is failed and the kids no good for crying out loud!

Carlton... We just lost to bottom 3 Carlton!! FFS!!
Bruest? You're joking right
 
Tonight is a perfect example of people just using Hartung as a scapegoat, made one bad mistake yet people are pointing him as the worst on tonight, ******* hell people need to get a grip of them self.

If people can forget his last minute (it's hard, I'm still trying) then he was without a doubt in our bests and possibly top 3 for the night.

Just not sure how he made two massive brain farts in a minute.
 
Was that Terry Wallace coaching the Blues?

Overhauling the gameplan to win one inconsequential game doesn't get your team anywhere in the long run.
It gets confidence I guess, I don't think we've lacked that for a long time so it's not the kind of thing Clarko would do.

Bolton smashed Clarko in the coaches box tonight, similar to how Hardwick did. Clarko gets a lot of credit when he gets it right like he did against Sydney twice this year. No coincidence that his disciples Hardwick, Bolton & Beveridge know exactly how to beat Hawks.
 
Dear Paul Puopolo. When you have the chance to goal in the final 2 minutes and 7 points down, it makes sense to try to kick the goal rather than kick to a contest. Yes?

Poppy is done. He was never a massive kick to begin with (anything over 45m was always a stretch for him. Could get on to something over 50 if it was his day) but he's lost a fair bit of power through the legs. Slowing down as well.

Love the little man but he's in his twilight years of his career now and not sure if it will be best served with us.
 
What was with the last 8-10 mins? Playing like it was the 2nd qtr and the game was even! Sideways kick here, backwards pass there, starting with 8 behind the ball. Clarko is a master but surely we switch our mindset? In the NFL if your down by 10 with 5 to go you don't run the ball, you don't run the short yardage plays. Feck me, I'm shattered.
The reason hartung made that shocking error was because there was no risk taking. Way too many players behind the ball for what reason exactly? We were 2 goals down ffs. Clarko needs to get his mindset away from being stubborn. Throw caution to the wind for a change.
