Autopsy Round 11, 2024 : Hawks poach the Lions

[VandoHawk]

D'Ambrosio could well be the best player movement over the off season. All the bemoaning of no big moves and the little one is paying huge dividends.

All our recruits have been great.
Ginni is going to be a great forward for 10 years.
Chol provides a lot of forward pressure and a marking target.
Massimo an absolute steal and locked in our best 22.
Gunston provides on-field leadership and is basically mentoring Dear 24/7.

 

[Stranglers]

Top 8 clubs are going to be looking over their shoulder when they play the hawks.

 

[peetoo]

His athleticism is unreal for a big guy. Him just being around makes it easier for Dear and Gunston IMO.

2 of his tackles were in one passage

 

[perrdan86]

How good is it to see us in the same position we were last week and implement the things we learnt to get this result. Great fortnight of deveoplement for this group.

 

[Hodgey 15]

Can we make the Eight?

BEAUTIFUL WIN

[peetoo]

Didn’t we trade that for Chol?

Maybe

 

[CHUBBSS]

Reward for effort, that’s a great win. Huge for the whole team

Gunston to Lions doubters

 

[SSSSSS]

Should have tanked for the MSD pick.

 

[OnTheRocks]

Loved how players had moments, were play makers then others took over. Some looked down a bit but then rose up to contribute. They came at us but the horror of last week didn't faze our team, we looked mature for such a young side.
A big scalp albeit in Melb but a finals threat nonetheless.
Very impressive win after last week.
How good does it feel?

 

[moginie]

Very satisfying. Worpel excellent. Calsher had his moments. Meek worked really hard. He'll be feeling it tonight.

 

[Fleabane]

I couldn't help it. I peeked at the final score! HOW BLOODY WONDERFUL. Still have lunch guests here... I'll watch it later with my unsuspecting husband (he'll be very happy!) but so good to know.

 

[killerspud]

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

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Great Win, very happy

 

[Buzz Hawk]

We do like playing the lions don’t we. Thanks Fages.
Well played boys. Challenged at times and responded.
That’s maturity.

 

[OnTheRocks]

Never in doubt.

It looked that way from the moment we took the lead in the 1st qtr.
There will be more ups than downs from now.

 

[Nugett]

Gunners cooked Brisbane

 

[JoeHawk]

Chol with 6 tackles. Equal highest for the Hawks.

Absolutely did his job. Great game

Man I loved this Enter the Dragon/kung fu panda shit going on. I reckon Bailey Smith called his manager after seeing that and just said " hawthorn thanks

 

[The hands of stone]

Nothing's a given in professional sport but felt like a real reward for consistent effort over the last month .
Such a great effort after the last few minutes last week .
So many good efforts and moments from the guys .

A month ago my brother in law ( cats supporter ) said we had gone backwards and I should start watching them to see a good time......a months a long time in footy

Imagine being a teammate of Zorko... imagine choosing him as your captain.

is the example.

Overall, probably a good game for the learning, to know you can do it... Pies will get a lot out of it.

 

[Makedonija]

Massive last quarter, get in!!!!

Almost think the close score at 3 qtr time helped motivate us to get over the line.

We’re looking very promising. One thing I’ve noticed of late is that the boys are far more composed with the ball in hand and more often than not find the right pass instead of doing a hospital handball. Of course the polish is lacking sometimes, but that’ll come with time. Since his return, Day has been a big reason for this with his footy smarts.

It’s also refreshing to be the more accurate of the two sides in front of the big sticks. This was the main culprit for a few of our losses earlier this season.

Only disappointment today is that I didn’t go since I refuse to step inside that concrete hell-hole. Really hope we play more games at the G once Tassie come in, but that’s a topic for another day and thread.

Go Hawks!
