Autopsy Hawthorn defeats Richmond

[jpzhawk]

Congrats Mitch ! Some great highlights with the kids. Best was the twins tumble Very cute.
Hill was very good. Lots of run.
Our kicking and tackling was terrible.
Handy percentage boost.
No injuries
Not pretty at all.
How did Langford play today because I'd drop JOR and bring in Langford. Offers more imo.

How's TOB game today? Couldn't watch as had birthday to attend

No good.

 

[MadDawg]

In reality we are 1 1/2 games on top due to our percentage.

If we lost 2 games in a row and those below all won, we would be sitting 5th.

 

[MadDawg]

Hawthorn fear the Tigers?

And we won contested possession today, but who gives a toss.

 

[Gunstall555]

Thank you for 300 beautiful games Sammy.

Brendan Whitecross played a really good game. He was even better then last week in my opinion. It's going to be hard to keep him out of the side if he keeps this form up heading into the finals.

Wonder if we will try to keep on the list for 17?

I don't really have any strong feelings towards Richmond, but beating them is good?

Percentage is a tad better though after that. Two teams are gettable % wise

Brad Hill trying to squeeze a few more 0's on the end of his fat contract out west.

 

[HawkMongrel]

It's that time of year that we need to start pounding on a few ordinary sides.

That was a good start.

 

[Tyrone Time]

Bring back Fitzroy.

We are now leading the squiggle race.

JOR was very impressive today. Albeit I only saw the last 3 quarters so my judgement might be flawed but I saw a lot to like with him.

Same goes WX. Doubted that he would be of any value other than pure depth. Thought it was just giving him a year out of sentiment and hope but I forget we don't do stuff out of sentiment. The guy deserved to be here and he's showing it now. Two magnificent defence splitting passes created goals for us today.
He's always been very clean and composed but never thought I'd see him kick at as good as he did. Usually was a sideways player that kept the ball moving (which isn't a bad thing in itself) but he took the responsibility to drive us forward. I like it. Big tick.

Big Boy was good. Not amazing but his best game in a while. Need him back in form as he is a very handy player when on. Ceglar was OK but I think the partnership comfortably won today.

Pretty ordinary game. Gibbo and Mitchell were great. Congrats on your 300th Sammy.

TOB was disappointing. Had an opportunity but didn't take it. Only thing going for him is he was matched up on Rance a lot and not a whole lot get past him. Seriously good player.

 

[JoeHawk]

Hope Hodgies hammy is ok. Talk on MMM that he may be something there as he sat out half the last quarter.

After nearly 3 quarters of pain and frustration very happy to finish with a 70 point win

Look who we beat as well

Brad Hill was everywhere today. Just ran and ran and provided an option.

Watching on from the top level today and seeing the work he was doing, he was fantastic.

 

[Hawkies]

We've boosted % from 102.7% in rd 9 to 123.9% in rd 17. Will continue to improve as we tighten the screws

 

[H2F]

Reckon Lyon said to Hill the way you're playing we don't want you.

Like WhiteX his turn-around in form adds a new player to the team.

Love the Hawks!!!

Looked like someone worthy of a high pick this October.

 

[macmate]

happy for mitchell, won't be watching that game again any time soon though

 

[Darth Docomo]

Frustrating game to watch but I attribute it to us being a fraction off, conditions and richmond being richmond.

Loved the work Hill put in especially after the couple of weeks he's had. Really enjoyed WX's game. And Mitch was Mitch. Looking forward to the next 300 from him.

If we didn't take Frawley, I wonder if Rance was ever a backup consideration. He was immense today

I agree about a fraction off. Didn't quite stick tackles, kick goals, structure properly etc but somehow we didn't look completely sh*t. It was quite frustrating BUT gawd Richmond are shit

 

[cryptor]

Just weren't gelling in the first 3 quarters. Last quarter it just clicked as the Tigers all but gave up. Not worth watching a replay.

Well he is either WAY too good for pick 3 (!?) or shit enough for a third rounder (!!??)

True, but lets just keep winning so its a non-factor.
