Autopsy Hawthorn pipped at the post by Port Adelaide

[Ridingthebumps]

Port will be flogged next week due to key players being busted. Sicily so close to glory, great move by Sam.

 

[GoldenHodge]

I feel sick! Who else feels sick?

I feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack, and no win to show for it.

 

[Hodgey 15]

HOK ball is over for Season 2024 but 2025...

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Sicily would kick that about 8 out of 10 times. We didn’t play anywhere near our best and still could have won. Thought all along not having Day would ultimately cost us this final series.

 

[Ashman23]

Regardless, for a tanking team we did pretty good.

 

[Jethro!]

Kept playing even though we couldn't get it on our terms.
Newk, scrim, Siss and Wizz played well.
Hoped a bit more from Chol, CMac and Ginni. Great improvement year.
Good game from Serong to hold down back.
Day plays and we win.

Well the Port game didn’t go as we had hoped! Hopefully it will make the Hawks hungry for the pre season and 2025.

Just think we got this far into finals without Lewis and Blanck for most of the season. We missed day for what felt like half a season. An no Frosty tonight!


Our development in 2025 has been out of this world! We have found a fantastic core of players. Proud of our Hawks in 2024.

We will tweak our list then Look out season 2025! Go Hawkas!

ing Barrass and Battle will be big ins next year.

Devastated

Utterly devastated

Mission now officially turns to ..... support everyone to beat Geelong

 

[Hens Hall]

Lack of proper key pillars at either end of the ground plus the class of Day showed up in the end.

Credit to port as they brought the pressure and not allowing the mids and half backers to transition eassily

 

[Brishawk]

Burgoyne and Rioli beat us

Port's pressure was great. But our inexperience cost us that game. So many bad decisions or just hanging onto it too long instead of keeping the game simple.

 

[Rioli magic]

What a flog bogan Hinkley is.

Ungracious in defeat.

Can you imagine mouthing off to opposition players after the game.

 

[RCAB]

Proud:

We did something no other club has done in 150 years of football after being 0-5.

Great experience for our young team, next year will be top 4 and even better.

Wiz made for big games.

 

[manB]

Missed Will Day badly. If ppl think Frost was not important. You are delusional.

Anyways happy with the efforts feeling sad for the boys.

 

[cryptor]

**** that stings. Barely anyone thought Port were capable of that, even their own fans.

Still proud of our team for what they achieved when just as many people thought we’d be bottom 4.

People will laugh at us now but we’ll be back fitter and better next year with Battle and Barrass.

 

[Cleavy]

What a roller coaster of a season and a roller coaster of emotions.

 

[Wile E Coyote]

What a ride this season was and so proud of the belief, growth and commitment in the team. Today's loss hurts but can't wait for where this team will get to next season!

Absolutely gutted but proud of the lads. It's been a ripping season.

A lot of the youngsters have got a taste of finals now. Moorey and Weddle will learn a lot.

Poor Sic. He'll be destroyed. Get around him!

 

[Jethro!]

We weren’t pipped at the post . They dominated us all night.

This one’s on Sam. We let them play the way they wanted all night. Let them attack the ball first all night.

WHY?

Not sure his instructions were to let them attack the ball first. They outplayed us and we hung in there and kept fighting. Not sure what there is to complain about.
Will learn and come back better next year.

 

[Snoref]

Great season, great experience...well done boys

 

[Roddy]

Man oh man oh man, does the future look beyond exciting.

 

[CD Xbow]

I'm just going to say thank you to the team, the coaches and support staff for an incredible year. We were a bees dick away from winning it despite not playing well, sometimes things just don't go your way. Premiers 2025!

 

[SA HAWK]

Hopefully we learn from this and come back bigger and better next year

 

[hawker79]

What a season we have had. Proud of our boys. Dissapointing result. We will learn and get better and get ours back on them next year.

 

[Franko Armani]

Burgoyne and Rioli beat us

we let Horne Francis play at will all night.

That’s why we lost

The first ****ing thing you would identify before the game. Dropped the ball big time
Tonight.
