Autopsy Round 13, 2021: Hawks sink the Swans

[burnside5]

Its the little old Hawks two tapper...


Okay let's do the old two tapper...

Dance at will...

 

[killerspud]

DAY opened up the defence and allowed Jiath and Scrimshaw to play their natural game.

NEWCOMBE pairing with Mitchell allowed the whole midfield to play to their potential O'Meara was huge but guys like Shiels and Phillips came into the game by having faith that others were winning the contest.

Massive win for the club. Not for the win but how we did it. The future is suddenly looking brighter.

 

[MightyHawks86]

Most tackles by a debutant in VFL/AFL history...

Think that Duke bloke goes all right...

 

[Cyzzametimbres]

Gotta be upsetting when the umpires can’t get you over the line.

 

[dermott]

Fantastic. You don’t get better than that. My son was at the game and he is ecstatic.

 

[H00t]

Duke looks a player. Good to see Day back. CJ back in form.

Our energy was the most impressive thing. We haven’t played with that much intensity since round 6. Now just to see if we can repeat it as we looked flat as before the bye.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Like a funeral in the after match commentary

hahahaha

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Just quietly how good was Big Cegs tonight?

Absolutely massive around the ground with 11 clearances (11!)

If we can somehow unlock that kind of performance from Jonathon on a weekly basis........

Also I thought CJ played pretty much a perfect game tonight, BOG for mine.

 

[Off The Couch]

That was fun

welcome back Will

welcome Jai - that was an outstanding debut - made the midfield look completely different

Sorry for bad mouthing you Cegs

Timmy “almost” played a role - crashing those packs was excellent

phillips was good

JOM and Mitch were huge

 

[Kanga Commando]

Also commiserations to the Clowns in the commentary box on the Swans loss. Chin up boys, stay strong!

How flat do they sound with this loss for them..?

 

[Mrzohs]

Great win great start Newcombe nice and tough added the much needed grunt. Ceglar played well, Scrimshaw is a jet I can't wait to see him and Day released on a wing modern day winger proto types.

 

[Viddiot]

Really good even performance from every player tonight.
Really liked:
Frost/CJ
Day
JOM, and the Duke looks right at home, he did a lot that was necessary.
O7brian gets into great positions, has a good leap...he should be a superstar of the game. He needs thumbs!!

I know the draft is important for us seeing as this year is lost, but it's important for the lads to get wins against Finals contenders and mess with other teams seasons a bit too.

 

[fieval]

Bliss !

Cegs was very good tonight, very good indeed.
Day is back and it is good !!

And did I imagine it or did Titch actually kick more than handball ? (only just... but still !! ).
Fantastic effort by the guys, sets up a good weekend !

 

[MinerBoy]

Tipped us by 44. A little disappointed to be honest.

Games are won in the midfield and Jonathan Ceglar was dominant, his best ever game and one of the best games by a Hawthorn ruck for a while.

Feel for big Ned rolls his ankle and now will need to fight for his spot back.

Sicily, gunston still out.

Hopefully we see DGB this year too.

 

[H00t]

For those who said CJ needed a spell

The bye came at a good time for him. Looked like a completely different player out there tonight as opposed to the last few games.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Anyone arguing game plans after tonight should think about whats happened tonight. Sydney COULD NOT play the way they wanted all night. We played fast football in the first half sydney structured much more defensively in the second half until 11 mins to go and we broke them.

Game plans are only as good as the players executing them and the opposition play a big part in how u execute

Great win hawks. Played with a plan executed really well especially defensively. Jai Newcombe holy shit. Day and JOM huge ins Cegs was great in the ruck

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Won't bore people with the details, but I've had a really tough week and I needed that. I can always rely upon the Hawks to put a smile on my face when I really need it. GO HAWKS!!!!!

 

[Wingnut19]

Imagine if Callow is as good as advertised. This MSD could be absolute gold! Loved Newcombes tackling but it was how clean he was with the ball that impressed me the most.

 

[Hawk Hawkins]

Free kick Hawthorn?

 

[JoeHawk]

Amazing.. Amazing..

Where was this performance in last few weeks?

Day was good.
CJ was impressive
Jai you are a star

Impressive

Special mention to Frost. Buddy did nothing after the first quarter.

 

[Dewnior]

F$#K YEAH !!

 

[Blackhawk42]

I thoroughly enjoy the metal/punk/metalcore channel 7 include in their Friday night footy now. Somebody running the music has their finger on the pulse because that Spiritbox song played in the highlights after our team song is VERY fresh.

 

[Hodginator]

Gary Lyon just said Sam Mitchell was the player of the match

 

[ShortRaver]

Huge All-Team effort and it shows! Confidence was high. Biggest notable improvement was the midfield, Mitchell / JOM / Worps trio clicked and the defensive pressure from mid made all the difference, giving our backline more breathing space to act as the final line when Swans got inside 50.

Great to have Day back and the Duke... What an absolute beast!

The only thing I'd critique would be O'Brien... He's clearly going all in on the contested marks, but still doesn't nail them... Is there a solution?
