Autopsy Round 10, 2023: Hawthorn demolish the Eagles

[jerry_atrick]

Buggah!

Nothing to complain about!!

Found one.. Shame it wasn't in Perth...

Mood summarised for today tbh:

More accurate version, as suggested by one of the tweets

 

[Lickmesocks]

We did what we should have today against a reserves side.

I thought going in an 80 point margin was par looking at their side on paper.

They kicked 2 points in 60 minutes of football in perfect conditions against the bottom side.

If they play a top side that wants to slaughter them and puts the foot down we could be looking at 160 point losses for them to come.

 

[TylerDurden]

Reeves Ok? Anyone know the severity of the ankle?

 

[lethalselbow]

After the game, Sicily in post game interview... "we love playing in Tassie..."

Well played Sir.

 

[Topiary]

Unfortunately did not see a kick. Family event. Will comment after I see the Fox recording I have set up

Have some kleenex at the ready

 

[Kanga Commando]

Well that takes care of the tanking chat about us.

With the football community as headf@@ked as they are, their confirmation bias will reign for years.

Long may we live rent free in their heads.

 

[SSSSSS]

Reeves Ok? Anyone know the severity of the ankle?

Hope it's precautionary. Saw him motion to the bench that he was coming off but was still able to attend a few ruck contests before he made his way.

 

[eldorado]

Poor Eagles had one of the worst teams ever to take the field...and then lost another during the game.

Still, I'm glad we took advantage of it, and didn't just eke out an ugly 23 point win.

Now let's beat the Saints next week!!!

 

[MasterSamurai]

Great to get the win but I'm not going all over the top about it. We played a side box Hill would beat.

 

[I got the outside word]

My favourite part was the ruthlessness, didn’t let up, threepeat esque.

It was like we took the lame horse that is West Coast under our wing, said everything was going to be okay, got the lame horse a job, a job at a glue factory, watched the horse get itself a nice little rental on the edge of town, started to get the horse to work extra hours, withheld overtime rates, withheld super, started paying the horse sporadically, when the horse complained we cut back shifts, eventually we sacked the horse, he lost his rental and ended up on the streets to which we took the horse back to the factory and turned it into glue, glue that we never used…

Anyway, like I said, we were ruthless.

 

[Lickmesocks]

with Maxy Lynch moved to LTI list and reeves always on the edge with his body, I assume we will be looking at another ruck in the mid season draft.

Nobody here is saying that the lid is off, or that we're premiership bound. I think most people on this board would recognise that the standard of the opponent was very low. What we're trying to enjoy, without being a Debbie Downer about it, is the green shoots that we've seen from a number of players on which hopes have been pinned and a glimpse at the Sam Mitchell game plan when the playing group matures.

 

[grumbleguts]

All those commenting that we only beat a VFL standard side, who the hell else were they supposed to beat?

Ask for a better team to be presented?

All they can do is play the team in front of them and they did that.

 

[WWSD]

I think that was the first time since 2016 Hawthorn has scored 20+ goals in a game.

 

[Flamin Joe]

Stats can be funny in that they don't always tell the full picture. Collingwood went on to play off in the 1979 GF while St Kilda won the wooden spoon. That early in the year positions are largely meaningless.

 

[TylerDurden]

Correct weight. Must lock one in now.

****en Foxtel … I can’t watch the game live so record it (via season link)

It recorded the first two quarters on channel Fox 504 until half time, then they switch to Fox channel 503?

The Foxtel box continues to record the start of Carlton vs Collingwood, when the hawks are at halftime in Tasmania.

I’m sooo annoyed

Spot on - it was a good win (albeit by 116 points).

Backline seemed settled, better mid/fwd connection but for mine it was Weddle, Brockman, Butler and Mitchell taking a step forward which was most pleasing.

We have more list changes to make at the end of the year and these kids getting regular games will make those changes easier to manage.

 

[SJT76]

AFL app has Kosi as injured. Anyone know anything about what he copped?

 

[Nugett]

Just what the players needed. A huge win, with a no mercy slaughter. It gives them the belief that they belong, it gives them hope for the future. Who cares if it was only West Coast, the fact that this team won and won convincingly is more about our culture that we want to develop.

This season isn’t about wins and losses or draft picks, it’s the process of teaching a young squad of eventually becoming premiership players. This is the win that will enable us to start to instil that belief.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Correct. 23-13 to Essendon 6-7. A win by 108 points.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

All our best players were our younger players.
Lewis excellent, Nash, Newcombe, McKenzie we’re excellent through the middle, defence held up well and Weddle was a revelation.
Eagles are terrible, but it was great we put the foot on their throat early and never let up

You should be able to watch it fully later
