Autopsy Round 12: Hawks v Eagles

[Iceman!]

no change, cant drop CJ and Glass after 1 game.

We have dropped players off one game before. I thought Glass was okay enough.

CJ i would love to just go back to the ressies and work on his game. His disposal is just so far off AFL standard at the moment unfortunately.

 

[Burtman]

Not only has the ceglar experiment been a disaster but it’s also destroyed big boys ability to ruck and have an impact around the ground. That’s the least effect I’ve ever seen him have on a game. Happy with the effort this week, but we are just an extremely poorly skilled team without football smarts

 

[JoeHawk]

Sicily walking around so hope it’s nothing more than a hyperextension.

 

[Siri]

The Irish experiment is over. Didn't work for our club & we'll need to free up spots.
Better effort though!
Fortunately Sic looks like he may be okay.

 

[Spursfan]

Oh yes hopefully Sicily is ok

 

[Glebehawk]

You could drop glass. What’s the point of keeping him?

 

[palmomagpie]

Fine effort but skills and decision making just not up to it.

Day a shining light once again.

Fingers crosses for Sis.

Pooping myself for the Port game! Kind of scared to try get a ticket now haha

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Nash and CJ back to the scrimmages

McEvoy and Stratton should be dropped

 

[Maybloomer]

Reckon that was a MCL for Sicily. Done for 2020.

I thought something was missing from tonight’s game. An injury to a key Hawthorn player. Tick.

 

[cyrilicious]

PCL looks like it for Sicily

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

loved Worpel and JOM's game, thought they responded well after being pantsed by a bunch of kids + Nat Fyfe against, arguably the best mid in the comp. We just don't have that class anymore

 

[hamohawk1]

Nash, and Glass are top up players at best. Thanks for your service, see you later.

 

[Hodgey 15]

Endeavour and spirit is there. That's a good sign.

 

[JoeHawk]

Stratton, Nash never again. Good luck with life after football.

I don’t recall Nash ever mentioned. Was really hoping he’d have some impact.

 

[MitchHomieQuan]

Will Day has it. Our most exciting player, seriously impressive considering his experience at the level.

 

[VandoHawk]

I thought our midfield was better. WC have a quality unit + McEvoy was getting slaughtered by Nic Nat so the efforts of O’Meara/Worpel/Mitchell was good. Unfortunately all of them lack polish with the ball.

Our forwardline was dysfunctional. Yes, I acknowledge our delivery from the midfield was atrocious. But our forwards barely provided a contest. And this doesn’t just go for the younger players - guys like Bruest seemed to be taking the piss.

Day will be a hell of a player. Thought Scrimshaw was good bar some kicks. Didn’t mind Glass or CJ although they didn’t set the world on fire. There were a lot more positives than last week but man I’m getting tired of the same old negatives.

 

[Max Powers]

Wasn't horribly disgusted with the game, most of the boys had a decent crack in the second half.

Enjoyed watching Worps, JOM, Day, Gunners and Glass tonight all played well I thought.

 

[hfc70]

Day ! Wow....

I'm not sure you can blame Ceglar on McEvoy's decline.


It's the very reason Ceglar was to be our 1st ruck.

 

[Wingnut19]

Anyone in the camp that players are untouchable are in LaLa land. Mitchell, Bruest, Gunston are absolutely on the table for first round picks. We need a serious clean out and some youth injected. Gonna be some pain along the way but we need talent.
Stratts, Burgoyne, Poppy, Hendo, Scully, Frawley -Retired

Day, Glass, Worps, scrimshaw were positives today. I fear Morrison and Nash might just not be up to it. Need to give Ross, Moor, Jones and Walker a crack. No more wins this year with Frawley, Mcevoy, Burgoyne, Stratton in side. Absolutely ludricous.

Aim should be finishing below North so we can fleece Sydney an extra first rounder.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Plenty to like for Hawks. We jumped you early but you matched us after that. Worpel excellent. I was annoyed by some of the scrounged goals.

 

[In2theWild]

Simply not in the same realm as the Eagles. We've not the players on the park with anywhere near the size, skill or confidence to compete currently.
Stratton was and is by far the worst choice for captain I've seen in all my days.
Enjoy fellas what you all saw against the Tigers, Lions and Blues because that's the best we'll have to have to recall in this dog's breakfast of a year.
I hate 2020 with a passion.

 

[Billyc]

Effort was good.

Will Day is pure class. We got one.

Mitchell and O’Meara tried hard as usual but lacked impact, also as usual. The latter tackles well but can’t kick. He should be redeployed as a tagger.

In addition to Day, I thought Worpel and Scrimshaw were good. Glass showed a bit. The gradual injection of younger players a good thing.

The game’s highlights:
1. Day
2. Worpel long goal In the wet
3. Passage of play in midfield with Worpel and Day handballing and fend off (before O’Meara Clanger).

Lowlights:
1. Sicily injury. Fingers crossed not a disaster
2 Stratton, Frawley and McEvoy were all terrible. Nash has had no impact in his two outings. Will be lucky if he gets a third

[Jaeger]

The boys fought hard. More or less broke even in the middle, but beaten in the air forward and back.

Everything crossed for Sicily.
