Autopsy Pies go down to Hawks 101-67

[adammania9]

Okay, campers, rise and shine.
Don't forget your booties
because it's cold out there today.
The National Weather Service
is calling for a big blizzard thing.
But there's another reason
why today is especially exciting.
That's right, woodchuck chuckers.
It's Groundhog Day!

Insipid rot.

Bucks boys doing him proud.

Long year...14th at best.

 

[jerry springer]

good to see the improvement since last year

Bucks defiantly has the list he wanted, whats the excuse this year?

Hawks were down a man for nearly 3 quarters and still out ran us

7 year itch coming up

 

[blackwhite2010]

Must be loads of Buckley defenders really getting uncomfortable in their seats... But really have no right to complain. This is what they asked for.
More of exactly the same skills , personnel and flgame plan they wanted .

 

[ppoiter]

Im jealous of Carlton

[Hong Kong Pie]

Hawks were largely in cruise mode too for a lot of the 2nd half, yet sadly we were our own worst enemies with our kicking and skills.

 

[shizzle]

The club said the gameplan didn't need changing this year, no surprise to see more of the same.

Stagnant, dour, insipid and unskilled.

But hey we halved the contested ball and that's all that matters lol

 

[SchuPie]

I’m sniping tonight but I rather Hine + Ed face presser tonight and have them answer Qs

I’ve said it before, footy is about HOPE for supporters
Hope of a premiership
Hope of moving up the ladder
Hope of developing “the kids”
Hope of effort in every contest
So what are we hoping for?

I’ll wait until R6 for improvement but if not by then it has to be the kids and see what we’ve got

Autopsy?


I'm ready for the burial.

Mason Cox 0 marks from about what 12 attempts.

Never seen the likes of it.

Treloar finds the ball but butchers it way to often for a player that costs us a bundle.

His DE was 40.6 and 19 of his 32 disposals were bloody handballs.

Unbelievable.

At the end of the day though the Hawks are just so well drilled under Clarkson and once again it seems like groundhog day out on the field for us.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

We need a few guys to get fit really fast, because that set-up won’t beat many teams even on a good day.

 

[grayza2018]

Some of those skill errors tonight would have made me gobsmacked...if I hadn't already lived through them the past few seasons

 

[unplugged]

The only hope we've got is of the Moana variety.

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Some small positives -

Stephenson worked his butt off and showed glimpeses, same with Murray. Reid presented hard all day. Crocker had a reasonable day, and probably should have finished with at least 4. Sidey worked real hard and had a bit of impact for about 3 quarters.

Get's much harder for me after that.

 

[barrackers]

Thought we played well in patches, but we had too many passengers tonight across the board. Even our regularly good players like Howe had a quieter game. On top of that we also made silly decisions.

Sure our structure and decision to let again allow Mitchell run amuck didn’t help, but to have any chance of a win we needed to be both smarter and more involved. Even with a perfect game plan we wouldn’t have won carrying so many.

With GWS, Adelaide, Richmond, Essendon and Carlton to come the realistic best placed we could be is 1:5 but may be 0:6. Tonight was a must win and the way we lost gives us no hope this year. Round 6 will likely be a time for Bucks to fall on his sword and the rebuild to begin.

 

[Black_White]

Murray showed us what type of player football in 2018 is modelled on.
Pace, pace and the ability/desire to take the game on and not hand responsibility to someone else as quickly as possible.
Hawks have several of these types of players. Carlton to.
We have a first gamer.

 

[JB1975]

Aish didn't lay a tackle. I thought that he'd decided to become a footballer over the pre-season, I was woefully mistaken. Flick him to the VFL for the rest of the year, then flick him off the list.

 

[Kick It 2 Me]

I can't decide what was worse. The 70 point thrashing by Freo in Round 1 2014, the Swans belting us by 80 in 2016, or tonights insipid swill.

But four years on from that Freo debacle and the club is much further away from a flag.

Thank you Eddie, thank you Nathan. And thank you all those that have supported these two in the last 4 years and shied away from criticizing them for their continued failures.

We'll be lucky to get 50,000 members this year. Maybe that'll wake Eddie up from his dreamy slumber, in which Nathan Buckley holds aloft a premiership cup.

 

[crackerss08]

Same gameplay
Same shocking disposals
Same result.
Moore is an overrated overhyped waste of space

The annoying thing is he only needs to mark a few of those and put up an honest effort to bring the others to ground to make everything look quite different. Didnt look very close to doing either

 

[Scritchyscroony]

The apparent continuity from last year in terms of game style, ball movement, skill and decision making was a real depressing stand out for me. It's like they have been workeding on changing absolutely NOTHING for the last 5 months.

Tonight was the worst.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Only round 1, and I just don’t care any more. Furious that Eddie’s ego will ensure that this is the 7th wasted year of Buckley’s reign as coach. Used to like and respect Eddie. Now wish that he and Buckley would just stand down for the good of the club. Need a clean out and fresh start right from the top.
