Autopsy Round 11, 2024 : Hawks poach the Lions

[Mitchell Madness]

Very impressive win.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, we look very vulnerable when things don't go our way, and that happened in the third.
Rather than grind it out, we attacked our way out of it

Breust is done. The way the players got around him after that last kick was not a standard goal celebration

That was the fame we expected from chol. Ran and tackled hard, took some good marks

Calsher again showing the other forwards how to lead. The moment a forward takes a mark on the lead these days, it completely opens up the forward line

Credit to the umps. They woke the fans up. That first half was as quiet as I've heard a footy game, but when the fix came in we rocked the joint!

Strapping Young Lad, you missed an easy pun there

 

[I got the outside word]

CJ didn’t have a massive day but boy oh boy did he do some really good things when the game was on in the last.

Let's. Effing. Gooooo!!

I liked that we poached them.

I liked that we poached them.

When they change their name to the Brisbane Eggs, it will be fantastic!

With the relative ladder positions of the Hawks and the Lions, is this the weirdest current win streak in the AFL? 5 on the trot against a team which has finished top 6 in the last 2 seasons.

Eldo I regret to inform you that poaching wildlife is also a thing

Gunston, Chol and Dear - finally got a full complement of forwards yo kick a score. Breust composure in final term.

Day is our best player.

D'Ambrosio is a gun and along with Amon and Jiath we have an outside game to go with our inside mids.

Sic and Scrimshaw back

We really could be close to the 8 right now. We could still really be close to the 8 come the end of the season.

They must envy us

Not sure we need tonnes of pieces to be a real contender.. If Dear continues to develop and McCabe becomes a quality interceptor, we’re not that far off the very best.
I love what CJ brings, he’s not just dynamic, he’s very assured, he and Weddle provide great drive.. Sheamus is doing a good lock down job.. I’m really excited about this list..
Worpel is in the conversation as being an A grade clearance player and Day’s quality and versatility are through the roof..
Genuinely think this team, as it’s assembled can go places.. Smith could be icing as a burst goal kicking mid surging forward which we don’t have a lot of..

With all the flags most of us have seen there's never a time to not be proud to be a Hawk.

Never heard of animal poaching?

 

[seysearles]

Mabior Blade Chol is starting to look like a great pickup.

Our trading from the past two years has been brilliant. Meek Ginniven Dambrosio Amon and Blade all big contributors for the club.

 

[Breustiful]

As much as last week hurt; it is a testament to the players that dug deep and stood tall in the last quarter. Shows a lot.


100% win rate at Marvel also in 2024. We used to hate the joint!

Amon 29 disposals, 11 marks - brilliant.

 

[KermitJagger]

Let's just hope he has a better accountant

Good bounce back from the 3rd qtr dominance of Brisbane. When teams play that dour kick mark style we really struggle to turn the ball over.

Good little run we’ve had and really should’ve won our last 4 on the bounce, plenty of winnable games coming up between now and round 16 too, Crows, Giants in Tassie feel gettable, Richmond then the bye, into WCE over there. Should really be setting ourselves for this 3 week block to leave nothing on the table and if we can get a good return (3/4) we can absolutely start eyeing off a spot in the 8

Well, yeah....but

 

[Argy]

Gunston and Bruest added that bit of maturity we lacked last week. Worpel had a great game. Sicily just sublime.

 

[MinerBoy]

4 wins now plus coulda shoulda woulda games against the scum, pies and port.

Not too bad

And I wanted gunners to play in the backline only,DO'H. Crows, gws and tigs coming up, looking tasty

Last four games weve won 10 of 16 quarters and have drawn one quarter.
Definitely good signs.

 

[lockheed]

Well done. Again!

Played very well, and as lots have already said, you learnt the lessons from your loss last week.

 

[macdaddio]

Never in doubt that’s why I tipped us

3/4 feels very gettable out of that run of games.

That would have us at 7/8 and I reckon 12 wins gets you in this year so not without a sneaky chance of winning 5 more in the run home.

Our % is awful though which makes it even harder.

Again? Don't you mean "still"?
