Autopsy Round 10, 2024: Hawks get pipped by Power

[SSSSSS]

Just want to say Frost was absolutely huge in the last quarter.

Give him another year in the Brown and Gold. He is heart and soul.

 

[cryptor]

Remember that we lost this fixture last year by 9 goals. Now we’ve been unlucky to lose it by a kick without Sicily or Scrimshaw.

This team has grown tremendously over the past 12 months.

We should be excited because with another year of experience and another collective preseason we’ll be putting these games away.

Him and Hardwick.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Breust looked more fatigued than blokes who had played 3 quarters. Enough with the excuses for him please.

So many gave great effort today. It is sad that it turned to shit late. We overcame our 1st quarter crapness only to save it for the last quarter this week.

From the moment Brown mentioned the free kick differential in commentary in the third, Port then received 14 free kicks in a quarter and a bit. Astonishing.

It hurts to lose this game with 40 odd seconds to go and the opposition needing two goals. HTF does that even happen. This result is going to indicate what the remainder of our season is going to be about and to show us what this club stands for. I am a believer and hope it will be used to spur us moving forward. It cannot be allowed to leave deep scars.

I still can’t believe we lost.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Then magically switched back straight after

They wonder why people flip it with them

 

[Billyc]

In the long run, there are more positives than negatives in that game. For three quarters it was an excellent and disciplined performance on the road.

But it’s hard to focus on that after that monumental fck up of a fourth quarter.

 

[Bedi]

We so could've lost that 2014 prelim to Port, with Lake (or was it Hodge) throwing himself on the ball like it was a live grenade, so at least some random round 10 game is one we'll all forget in good time.

 

[Ballsontheline]

I'm worried we always seem to play bad, following a close loss, a game that we should have won.

 

[Goatie]

I personally don’t think the coaches went defensive in the last quarter. We lost contested possessions and clearances which means we were working the ball out of our backline in wet conditions. If we went quick we would have coughed up more goals.

That’s what happens when you have Karl Amon

as a defender. He will get you a goal with a money kick through the corridor and then give away a dumb free kick or not defend his opponent.

Gut wrenching loss but so many positives considering we had Lewis, Sicily and Scrimshaw out.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Oh crap

Codswallop

 

[LunchboxLegend]

I’m sure it’s been said, but I’ll say it anyway.

If we’re not naming a midfielder as the sub, we’re doing it wrong.
This ‘swap out a tall forward for (yet another) small forward’ is just trash.

We needed fresh legs in the guts. We brought on a sluggish goal sneak…. FMD.

 

[barbster]

Wonder who comes out for Sicily and Scrimshaw?

Serong and Phillips were good and would be unlucky. Breust, surely is one. He was so far off the pace.

Breust so far off the pace??? 6 disposals in a quarter of footy and the ball barely went in the forward line. For mine he should have been in the starting 22

 

[MasterSamurai]

Expected to lose by about 6-7 goals yet, we were beaten by a half a minute. A Sicily, a Lewis, a scrimshaw, anyone of those gets us the win. Great times ahead.

 

[hawkguru]

IF it ain't broke don't fix it... Sam decided to change that theory in the last qtr and it failed miserably.

 

[rei154]

Dermie just said what I was the TV. DON’T PUT Day out back. Put him in the ball

As part of our player development I would have liked to see Frenchie go behind the ball, and have Day on the ball.
Frenchie looks good when he can read the play and can take the safe/smart option. Day is a match winner who we largely wasted.
Would have been good for Frenchies growth, and arguably better for Days

 

[The hands of stone]

Watching Hinkley carry on like a flog at the end of the game made me vomit just a little in the back of my throat

That one hurts, our midfield just went totally missing that last quarter.

When coaches celebrate like that against you and oppo supporters start celebrating you losing in a game like that, you actually know your heading in the right direction .
You've become relevant again and the future is very positive .

 

[Back Pocket Rocket]

Bad luck guys, great effort.


Go at it.

Ryan Burton can eat a bag of dicks the way he gave it to the Hawks cheersquad at the end

 

[Cheersquad71]

Sucks …. but it wasn’t the 1984 grand final. Port won’t win a flag playing like they did today.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

I'm worried we always seem to play bad, following a close loss, a game that we should have won.

Hopefully the coaches are all over this and we break this pattern next week.

 

[wizzard400]

I might be speaking with emotion rather than logic here, and I’ll take some time to calm down after this.

But I don’t care if we’re a young side that ran out of steam. If you’re 41 points up in the rain you should not end up losing.

That was quite simply an epic choke.

 

[Lickmesocks]

Ryan Burton can eat a bag of ficks the way he gave it to the Hawks cheersquad at the end

Ryan won’t be able to sit down for a week the amount of times Hardwick pulled his pants down 1-1 and spanked his bum today.

 

[HawthornHawk]

Breust so far off the pace??? 6 disposals in a quarter of footy and the ball barely went in the forward line. For mine he should have been in the starting 22

The problem was that he handed it straight to Port 5 times

 

[Maybloomer]

We did not deserve the win, we stopped trying to kick goals. We went 100% defensive on the last qtr. That is on us!

It’s on me. 12 points up and they kicked that point I said to a fellow watcher, they’ll get a get a goal from a free and kick another with seconds to go. Tattslotto numbers to follow. Winner of the 3rd at Flemington is FIIK

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Two frees against. One of those kicks came off his knee after he dithered about, and his first touch was a handball he inexplicably gave up straight to an opponent. He looked too slow. IMO we should have subbed Watson out instead and kept CJ on.

100% correct. Port were gone today and our own tactics handed them the win.
