Autopsy Hawks vs Bunnies no more

[beta_condition]

That umpiring in the last was almost as bad as our third quarter.

 

[SA HAWK]

People who want to target Vickery, and I know people will, Rough wasn't much better tonight.

Rough is obviously not the same player after having cancer and likely never will be again.

 

[madhawksfan]

Disgraceful effort in the second half. 43 points up and lose by 18.

Thoughtful Kiwi, Burton, Hardwick, Sicily (1st half) and Howe did really well. All should hold their spots.

Bruest, Mitch, Poppy and Shiels can hold their heads up.

Poor games from Roughie, Hendo, Billy and Swiss and quieter than normal games for Hodge, Silk and Smith. Duryea was okay without doing much.

The result many expected but the way it happened was disappointing. I think we will easily beat them once we get something closer to Hawthorn rather than Box Hill.

 

[Johnny Tapp]

How is Gibson still running around in this team - one paced (slow), no lateral movement, not contesting the high balls and MASSIVE indecision. He should have been in Box Hill 4 weeks ago.

 

[Breustiful]

What pissed me off was the commentators blatantly cheering for Collingwood.

Are you telling me you watched the entire game with Basil commentating?
Mute button was on ASAP when I heard that monotonous voice.

 

[Hawk Dork]

I was thinking of re-watching the first quarter and trying to forget the rest

 

[driftyhunter]

I don't mind losing, but the manner in which we lost was hard to stomach. We were 43 points up FFS.

Seriously 1 goal after half time? I don't think its the personnel...

Certainly expected to lose with players out, but then being teased with that first half lead.... bit hard to take

 

[Pie eyed]

Genuine congrats to Mitchell.
50 possessions is a fantastic achievement in any game of AFL.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Clarkson when are the catastrophic changes going to come? It's been blatant obvious from Round 1 that Gibson is cooked.

Whitecross 12 disposals
Gibson 8 disposals
Vickery 5 disposals

I didn't mind Whitecross, did some good things, showed ticker.

Im more critical of guys who should be stepping up when we need a hard outside running player once Rad Hill's gone Birchalls out and we needed some run and carry, His decision making was horrific


Our forwardline...im not sure what's going on, I thought Vickery had some good hit outs to advantage...thats it.

Sicily needs to do the team thing more, Roughy/Gunston look like shadows of former selves. Tmitch consistently great but needed to hurt collingwood when he got that mark inside 50.

We're missing gun 23-24 year old midfielders who will run/carry and split the middle open. I like Burton but he's 19, He'll be a 200 gamer. I dont think guys like Vickery/Hartung/Sicily will

positives is mitchell, burton
rest should be traded at the end of the year

 

[Hawthorn United]

What pissed me off was the commentators blatantly cheering for Collingwood. Often they'll favor one side or another but at least make the attempt to appear professional and unbiased, but tonight it was blindingly obvious who they wanted to win. Really says it all about the sad state of the football media these days.

This has been the norm for years. They want a close game of a good story, so them being 43 points down and winning was the story they were cheering for.

We'll be cheered on when we're losing as well.

Happens in cricket when Australia were on their undefeated run, commentators kept saying the other country was still in it.

 

[Off The Couch]

Errrr that's all upstairs, mentally pathetic

No, it's a player getting ahead of himself and as harsh as it is I hope he has shown enough that suitors come knocking

 

[wolvesjr34]

Vickery had 5 possies. I reckon all in the first 1/4. Not good enough, fitness???

He's playing mostly forward.... his possessions correlate with what our midfield does... I don't think anybody should hang any shit on Vickery after this game... Roughead was a lot worse.

 

[Paul007]

We desperately need another mid as someone else said, I have heard that there is a kid called O'Mera who is might be a good fit for us. Sicily can play in Box Hill if he is lucky enough to get a game there. We keep finding new levels of badness. I was expecting us to get flogged but we only lost by a couple of goals so not all that bad really.

 

[Mappa]

The entire game changed in the very moment that Roughead kicked it 40 metres backwards to a Collingwood player.

And dropped a sitter of a chest mark a little earlier in front of goal

 

[Hodginator]

At least Buckley keeps his job which is a positive for every non-Collingwood supporter.

 

[43214all]

Only got ourselves to blame our gameplan was significantly different in the 2nd half to our first half. Its time for clarkson and roughead to take the responsibility.

We don't have anyone left. I think our changes this week were pretty catastrophic already, unfortunately not by choice.

 

[Hawthorn United]

This feels like the David Moyes era at Manchester United. Teams/Coaches getting their "first win" against us or breaking droughts.

 

[Hawkas1988]

Remember when Gunston used to be a forward?

So... billy played well! The most scaredy cat player ive ever seen.

Nah, I reckon he comes second to Henderson.

 

[WWSD]

Tom Mitchell can hold his head up high. He played one hell of game. Pity our midfield lacks quality players in there at the moment and he's doing it all by himself.

50 disposals (Hawthorn club record) 22 contested
8 marks
8 tackles
6 clearances

Agreed. The game changer but still cannot fathom the umpires non awarding of the 50 meter penalty and saying he could have reaches it when about twenty meters over his head? That to me was either a clear question of that the umpire is not up to AFL standard (like a lot of our players at the moment) or he was being a little sentimental for the pie fans, in other words cheating.

 

[Mercy Seat]

Hate to say it but the game has gone past Rough. He needs to go to the twos to find some form. Same with Gibson. No more playing vickery, Henderson, Whitecross if there is a younger player that we can get games into. Did Dureya play?

 

[Tall Tales and True]

Some players who we thought were okay ... aren't!? Our midfield are mainly, truly, 2nd or 3rd raters. (Don't worry 'bout this year's pick 1, next year's is in the bag.)
