Autopsy Round 1, 2018: Hawthorn defeats Collingwood

[Dixie Flatline]

How good is Tommy? Better than two ordinary midfielders.

 

[Hodginator]

Can’t wait to hear what Bucks has to say about Mitchell’s game.

 

[Hawk Hawkins]

LolNorth

 

[Lithium]

Sicily just keeps getting better.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

McEvoy with ice strapped to his upper leg I see. Limping a bit.

 

[wolvesjr34]

Can’t wait to hear what Bucks has to say about Mitchell’s game.

Haha that is exactly what I jumped on to say!

 

[Max Powers]

I liked the bit where we won.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

All hail Eddie for giving the rest of the competition a mediocre head coach for another two years.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Poor Burton

 

[ShoveYourCOLA]

How good is it to have Rioli back!?

 

[WWSD]

This is exactly the result you’ll get when Gunston plays as permanent forward.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

The only disappointing thing was the ankle injury to Ernie.

The boys looked good.

Tom, JOM, Cyril, Punk, Pop, Sic, Stratts.....some top efforts out there tonight.

 

[SA HAWK]

Lots to like about tonight but still plenty to work on.

Always a relief to win Round 1.

 

[Mitchell54]

How do you change your name?

Want to change it to Mitchell54

 

[Off The Couch]

Good start to the season in getting the 4 points

Ice on burton and BB and Shiels a last second injury - hopefully none of them are serious

Good patches and horrible patches but it’s a win and it’s one more game together.

On to the cats next week

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Amazing to think Mitchell has broken that record in round 1

Great win Hawks... LOVE THIS CLUB

 

[Gralin]

I thought we said four points and no injuries? Who didn't specify no injuries?

 

[Hawk Hawkins]

I thought we said four points and no injuries? Who didn't specify no injuries?

If it was Brishawk can we take the badge back?

 

[Agent Smith]

Liked our forward pressure, liked our structured backline without Hodge having to tell everyone where to stand, liked Mr 150's game.

Tom Mitchell, eh?

Jaeger O'Meara - I believe.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

What an amazing win!
Lets start with O'Meara amazing game great comeback
Stratton was instrumental in defence
Sis keeps getting better and better
Rioli's so instrumental!
And Titch. Well Tom Mitchell is just Tom Mitchell.
Hopefully the Sheils and Burton injuries aren't bad.

 

[MinerBoy]

A fair bit of good, a little bit of stinky, a solid win overall.

Hope Burto isn't too bad.

Loved Mitch, Sic and Gunna. JOM, Breust, Poppy, Cyril, Burger looked dangerous as a forward line. If Rough starts coming good that'll be a hard forward line to stop.

 

[jr4jane2004]

Great start. Cant believe were already in Top 4 so early in the piece. We just gotta beat dangerwood and Ablett and co next week to show were the real deal.

 

[Soft as malaxos]

Fabulous.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Is it wrong I just breathed a sigh of relief reading ankle and Burton - was at the game so couldn’t keep up with the news and was worried it was his knee. Any early news on how bad it was?

Really needed that win after a stressful week at work and my NRL team breaking my heart three weeks running. Thank you Hawks!

 

[madhawksfan]

Great win. Scrappy but looked very slick in passages.

Tommy is a superstar, Sicily ditto, Jaeger looked very good, Smith was great, Gunston and Bruest were dangerous up front, Big Boy was solid, Stratton found his feet after a shaky start, Hendo did some quality things, Timmy O was solid in D, Silk was Silk and the three speedsters did some nice things between them.

Only negatives were Burton’s injury, a quiet night from Roughie and patchy play from Doc and Frawley.

Happy to bank the 4 pts and hope Burton will be okay.
