Autopsy Round 13, 2021: Hawks sink the Swans

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Day, CJ, and Scrim all very close off the field. Work well together.

Jeez young Jai did the #44 really proud tonight. The Rat must’ve been sitting at home with a huge grin on his face after that debut.

Bring back #44. Nothing but fond memories. Platten, what a legend.

The break did a lot of good for our younger guys but I think Day’s inclusion was also vital. CJ & Scrimshaw seemed to have a lot more freedom than they had previously despite having to account for a handful of dangerous smalls.

The midfield actually having some defensive accountability seemed to help as well.

Honestly thought Buddy would kick 10 tonight. How good was Frost on him.

Buddy is cooked!

 

[The hands of stone]

Our team looks so much better with that extra creative class player back in the side.
So much difference with Day in .

I think tonight we got a little look of what might be on the horizon for us .
Lots of hard yards ahead but to have the younger guys play key parts in a big away win is pretty huge.

A real confidence booster .
We bashed them up too , pretty pleasing after looking so bad over the last month.

Buddy is cooked!

think of the brand power!

 

[MillerHawk]

Day is an awesome player. With a bit more hair tonight he reminded me of an old fave…Ray Jencke!

 

[bris tarangau]

Buddy is cooked!

And they are just nursing him to get him to 1000 goals, by end of 2022 season.

 

[Argy]

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.

Absolutely agree. Cegs was huge tonight.

Day, CJ, and Scrim all very close off the field. Work well together.

Sic also, when he returns.

Hey Damian Barrett…

 

[savagelunchbox]

Shoutout to Craig McCrae for identifying Sydney's lack of height in the backline and working a strategy around the horrid kick to the top of the sqaure gameplan that Clarko loves that worked against Syd's lack of height.

He sat 3 talls in the pack. All about 3-5m from each other with one at the front, one in the middle and one towards the back and when the ball was kicked in to the top of the square, who ever was best suit to the ball drop went for the ball while the tall behind them blocked the path of the defender coming in from behind to spoil. Small in height means small in length, and when you lose a step in your approach, you'll rarely impact the marker.

congrats on the win and taking a dump on our club

can you please carry the form forward to the next game at least

Oh yeah. Next week. Two wins in a season against the *? Chalk us up to be right in there!!

Buds legacy won’t be any different whether he has 999 or 1001 goals

In the same way that Fevola is not remembered as the last player who kicked 99 goals in a season, as opposed to 100.

 

[WWSD]

Dylan Moore has had 36 disposals, 12 marks and 4 goals in the last two games.

 

[Stottzy]

Midfield was the best it's been all year. Mitchell, Worpel, Omeara, Duke, Shiels were all huge, especially with contested possessions and disposal was a lot better, faster and direct.

Mitchell was back to 2018 form in terms of effectiveness in games. I've been one of the supporters who hasn't rated him this year. But tonight, he was brilliant!

 

[CHUBBSS]

How goods a win! Will be just as good im the rooms to! The best thing that stood out was the team balance was right.

For some of the players I normally knock; cegler and Mitchell played really quality games, strong team games and good decision making as well - cegler (best game I can remember for a while) may have pushed Mitchell Lewis out also - or callow to come in according to Clarko

Jai can’t be pumped up enough, midfield dynamic significantly changed and his no small boy, towers over omeara size wise

Morrison’s injury was stiff, starting to play really consistent quality footy - and in that group Moore, scrimshaw are becoming really consistent footy players which helps that 4 quarter performance

Also john Ralph is a stain, what a flog of a human - worpel tackle is one of the simple arm pull tackle of all time

 

[rdhopkins2]

Footy is a strange game. Lose to the bottom side and then play a fantastic match against respectable opposition. Great game tonight and it was fantastic to see the youth up & about. Nice touch at the end with all the team getting around Jai too.

 

[Hawker1167]

Day is an awesome player. With a bit more hair tonight he reminded me of an old fave…Ray Jencke!

your right there but he reminds me of a young Gary Ayres

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Also big wraps for a strong captains game from Big Boy tonight

His body may be fading but no one can ever dou t the effort he puts in every single week and is a much more suitable captain than Stratton was (in fact he really should have been captain 3 years ago but hindsight is always 20/20)

I don't mind him playing 70/30 forward/ruck either as his hands are still solid as plus his kicking for goal is still top shelf.

 

[Buckycrawfhodge]

So much to like.... Another contested/marking tall at either end, be it DGB, Jeka, Callow or other and a couple more midfielders with speed and spread through draft, things can turn quick enough over next couple... Love me Hawks!
