Autopsy Round 1 2019: Hawks defeats the Crows

[Restricted Free Agent]

So a great win! The underdog Hawks prove why you can't EVER write them off. O'Meara, Sicily, Worpel, Sheils, Stratton and James Cousins were all elite as the Hawks (12:15:87) Defeated the "flag favourites" the Crows (7:13:55)

The win was really emphasised by a strong 3rd term where if the kicking had been straight the game would have been over. A quiet Hawk debut for Jack Scrimshaw but he'll find his feet.

Some silky kicking from Nash, Gunston and Smith were also highlights. The marking (particularly intercept) was incredible with Stratton, Sicily and especially Impey showing what they're worth. The sealer was a banger from the 50 from Jaeger O'Meara which Rough let go over his head.

UP THE MIGHTY HAWKERS!!!

Written off all pre season against a hyped up team away from home and we walk away with a win again.

I LOVE THIS TEAM!

What a win. Brilliant way to start the season. Everyone contributed. Lots of goals from.our midfielders which is great.

McEvoy and Impey brilliant.

What a great win away from home

No Mitchell, no Wingard, no Scully - no worries

Cousens and Worpel were very good as was Scrimshaw

Impey was superb

Nice start to the footy tipping

It's official, Adelaide are Hawthorn's bitch.

 

[Iceman!]

Reminder we will have Scully and Wingard to add to this team in the near future with Mitchell and fingers crossed Birch as well down the track!

 

[MinerBoy]

Our coach is pretty handy.

Sicily, Worps, JOM, Impey and McEvoy stood out but I’m sure there were others that’ll come to me on a rewatch. Strats has Eddie in his pocket as usual who basically pinched a few cheapies.

The AFL is our bitch!

I reckon Scrimshaw and Cousins have earned their place for next week.

 

[Hawthorn23]

Can we play home games at Adelaide Oval?

 

[Max Powers]

Also Jimmy F****n' Worpedo!

 

[Breustiful]

Youth on fire, always good beating that side with its faux tough guy captain.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Could not be more proud of the effort. Well done Hawks.

 

[Bedi]

Strange ol' game but ecstatic to get the 4 points.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

My heart goes out to the usual culprits who were probably looking forward to a losing autopsy thread to offer up the usual doom and gloom.

Really looking forward to Scully and Wingard being added to this side!

Mirra haters suck on a long throbbing pole

The face says it all! Nice way to start your tenure as captain

 

[beta_condition]

Did we win the wooden spoon last year? Does my head in how any thought this was an upset

 

[Hodgey 15]

Scrimmer definitely showed some potential.
Look forward to seeing what he brings this side.

 

[Hawks1994]

Was not expecting that at all; what a fantastic win!

So many crucial contributors and it's so important to snag 4 points interstate
