Autopsy Paddy and Ray v Hawks in Hodges 300th

[zucchini]

Smith just can't ice games, that's that. The very best compose themselves and nail it, it's not on him of course but it certainly is hard to swallow that its cost us a few times.

No worries, can you remember 60 metres out v Freo.

 

[Aramis]

Good effort from the team, but what the hell Smith?

What's the opposite of clutch?

That Bigfooty invented gastro has now affected Breust and Smith for 17 weeks.

Should have won. Same rubbish from senior players cost us again.

 

[madhawksfan]

We missed some very gettable shots and played dumb footy at times. What was Smith thinking?

Overall though a great effort from our young side. Billy, Mitch, Sicily, Big Boy, Burton and Shiels all really stood up. We did have a few too many passengers today.

Shattered for Hodge as we were the better side. We lost due to inexperience down back and some disgraceful umpiring.

How was that not a free to Roughie for over the shoulder? No different than the frees Cheatwood and Dangerflog got inside 50. 4 free kicks inside forward 50 to zero was the difference. Hard when good tackles aren't rewarded yet we get pinged with questionable prior.

Geelong are absolute pretenders this year. One player won't win you a flag and they will be found out in September.

Twice in 2 years Smith.. emotions right now I'm so pissed at U! We cant win a single close game against that crap

Twice you've stuffed it against the Cats, Smith

A win would have been nice, but missed too many chances when we should have taken them.

Was disappointed with the number of careless/stupid frees Hodgey gave away in our defensive 50 that directly resulted in goals - helps to ease the 'do it for Hodge' disappointment to be frank.

Danger simply too good whether on the ball or as a resting forward - had no answer to him.

 

[Aramis]

Amazing effort given the amount of talent we have on the sidelines (infinitely more than the Cats) not to mention the amount of inexperience we're carrying in the backline.

Well done Hodgey on a superlative career, that final goal he kicked just before the sired was the perfect example of what a star he's been.

Nice gif, don't gamble.

 

[beta_condition]

**** that stings, really proud how we've turned things around since the Saints smashing, if we made finals we would give it a fair crack I reckon.

 

[tige19]

I'm pretty convinced Punky is way way off it, doesn't give much at all besides a few flashes here and there. Pretty horrid year for him

 

[Baz_hawk]

Why couldn't Smith have been Burgoyne

 

[Soft as malaxos]

These Hawks just don't go away do they. Shame about the end result, Dangerfield really the difference in the end, he was just ridiculous. I don't think I've seen such a midfield beast as Tom though his centre/stoppage clearance work defies belief. All in all this version of Clarkos Hawks is definitely heading in the right direction it's exciting times.

 

[Hawks1994]

So bloody close! Poor old Issy again

We've taken it up to yet another top side though which is a major positive, especially considering the inexperienced heads we've got

Disappointing not to get it done for Hodgey, gotta send him of in style come the end of the year

12.13 to 13:10

Bad kicking is bad football. Breust could have kicked a few more. Langford. Howe.

We missed our opportunities.

 

[Hawk Dork]

Danger simply too good whether on the ball or as a resting forward - had no answer to him.

He would have been less Dangerous in his predictable position having him in the goals square killed our backline structure.

 

[tige19]

No worries, can you remember 60 metres out v Freo.

Was that on the siren or after it? Did he do it when we were behind? Remind me

 

[LindaCresLove]

As I was leaving the ground herd on the radio that Birchall was involved in the post match regarding Hodge.

Couldn't help thinking there is a fellow who wears no 14 and who is a complete gentleman and an honourable and talented footballer,
Unlike the flog in the blue hoops wearing no 14, of whom, one couldn't say much nice at all.

 

[muston09]

are

Didn't think umps affected it. We got some lucky ones in the 2nd half. Great game. Another one for the ages.

are you for real

 

[Buddyball]

Had more shots on goal
Had more disposals
Had more contested ball
Had more inside 50s
Had more clearances
Hawkins went goalless~ surprisingly

Despite the loss, there is a lot of positives with the inexperienced side we have.

 

[threesixpio]

Oh man - yeah the umpiring was crap - particularly in the first qtr - but I never like whinging about umpiring. It was a good game of footy.

Danger was amazing. Hate saying it but he was

Today was a "I love footy" day for me. That's all I have. But a bit sloshed

 

[Cleavy]

Langford really needs to work on his set shot goal kicking.

 

[zucchini]

Was that on the siren or after it? Did he do it when we were behind? Remind me

It was a match winning goal in a GF.

 

[Superstar swan]

comiserations guys....that non free to ruff was hilariously bad...especially seeing the ump was 20 m in perfect position

 

[JustKickIt]

We didn't win and were a little patchy at times but bloody hell we have the makings of a terrific footy side.
Nonetheless, I'm a VERY proud hawk tonight.
...and congrats General - you're the f##ken best.

Especially when you consider who is not playing at the moment.
