Autopsy Round 1, 2022: Hawks skin the Roos

[Strapping Young Lad]

Great day to be back at the footy....

Sloppy early, but still a lot to like.

Congrats to Sam on his first win as coach!



Go at it.

Sammy Mitchell’s Barmy Army

 

[killerspud]

We bank the four point...and move on

 

[VandoHawk]

Young players show plenty, we play aggressive footy and we come away with the win. Fantastic.

 

[KermitJagger]

Things really clicked in the second half. Get the feeling our fitness is at a really good level.

Lots of mids, lots of rotations.

 

[WWSD]

Was that Finns first goal in Afl?

Yes it was.

 

[Sixpence]

Get in!!

 

[Blackhawk42]

Mitchell the master coach.

 

[James Colorado]

Love it. Thank you Hawks, thank you Sammy. It's great to back.

Lacking polish, but that second half shows exactly where we're heading.

Promising signs.

Under no illusions about the quality of opposition and how long the year will be but....

Some great signs to build upon and some great exposure to high pressure footy today.

Some dips, but overall a 4 quarter effort that should give confidence to the younger brigade.

The older mids need to step it up.

CJ, Reeves, Nuke & Mitch

 

[ScottMaginness]

I was impressed with Morrison today.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

100% win rate for Sammy. Clearly a good move with coaching shift.

That wasn't a great win overall - North had a bunch of injury concerns and are the worst team in the comp

BUT

I loved every minute of it.

Best: CJ, Gunston, Lewis, Newcombe, Scrimshaw
First gamers were really good. Really good. Wardy and McDonald both had great outputs.

It felt like we played very differently from quarter to quarter. Lots of experimentation.

 

[Wesley2]

CJ everywhere early, just a star
Lewis clunking marks
Newcombe was excellent
Jack finding form
Ward and CMac contributing well
Phillips off the bench was handy
Reeves playing all game under duress (without Lynch as partner)
Chad's cameo
Siciliy safe return

 

[TooOldTooSlowTooGood]

How good!!

Now someone tell me Day was best on by the length of the straight at BH at half time then put on ice!?

 

[Steven Tyler]

3rd on the ladder!!!!!!!

 

[Viddiot]

Good. We needed to get the season off to good start to build confidence. Would have liked a bit of a percentage boost though, but good enough.
That Umpire moment should be included in the 'why we love footy' ad, Why do we love footy? 'Cause you can do whatever you like! Lol.

Playing a final would be a great step to make this year!

 

[grumbleguts]

Who else thinks Jai Newcombe isn't too bad?

 

[offtherails9]

Great win. Good to get the year started like that. Newcombe, Sicily, Lewis all awesome
