Autopsy Round 13, 2022: Dockers breakdown the Hawks

[chopflop]

Hoping we draft a serong or Brayshaw type

 

[Off The Couch]

Gave it a shot and we should be happy with that, but there has been a few of those now and that could very quickly turn to disappointment. Need a win

The defensive pressure of our small forwards has been really disappointing - today they strolled out.

I’m actually feeling pretty flat about today.

Enjoy the break boys and hopefully they come back and win a few to finish the season off

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Thought we were really good, few poor patches and an undermanned side.

Genuine chance to pip the Dogs after the bye, a good week off and get the boys back after the bye.

Jaeger was great, Titch good, Duke solid and we competed well in there, Nash solid.

Reeves pretty good.

Sicily was great once again, Morrison worked hard all day and Moore was class.

Needed more from Callow.

 

[Gut Runner]

Won the inside 50s, OMG

 

[spudmaster]

Pleasing enough effort from the team today.
Did a lot of things right, hard to fault.

As happy as one can be with an honourable loss.

 

[Hodginator]

Solid effort.

JOM, Reeves, Sicily and Scrim best on from my point of view.

Hoping we draft a serong or Brayshaw type

Ward in time.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Kicking 82 points against Freo in Perth without our two best marking forwards is a good effort.

Loved the whole game but honestly the disappointment hit when Brayshaw kicked that goal

So much to like:

• Newcombe is just the best player to watch.
• CJ and Scrimshaws defensive skill is phenomenal to watch
• Mitchell needs to stick to the contested game and let others do the uncontested work
• Moore in the forward line is much better for us.
• O'Meara's best game for the year?
• Sicily continues to be the man.
• Reeves is awesome.

Other thoughts

• Our forwardlin could not keep it in. Prob more due to entries and kicking to contests in bad spots where we are outnumbered.
• The senior players carried us today. Sicily, O'Mear, Mitchell, Wingard. Usually they play side roles.
• Tackling pressure was incredible - especailly in that first half. Mitchell has this team playing with the right spirit. Awesome to watch.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Fly them back Business Class, I think they’ve earned it.

No.
We don't want to become north Melbourne or stkilda that reward losing.

It was a good effort when it looked like freo were going to run right over the top.

Turning point was some basic misses combined with Butler trying to be Hollywood for the second game in a row

Not a fan of what tom Mitchell is bringing. He's trying to play a new role, but he's too one dimensional, and it's hurting chains of possession.

Callow is growing, but he is Years away from being a decent footballer

Week off, regroup, move on, and keep developing

 

[Breustiful]

Gallant effort today. Missed Lewis down towards the big sticks.


Great game by JOM. Thought Scrimshaw was brilliant also.

 

[Hawthorn23]

The trend will probably keep following for the rest of the year, we will keep pushing the top 8 teams and pip one every once in a while.

Got a very winnable month of footy coming up with the Dogs, Giants, Crows and Eagles. Would love to get 3 of these in the W column, keeping the confidence up within the group

 

[Buttonsticher]

Great effort. Missing from 10-20m out is out. Wish we would leave a man or 2 behind the contest like other teams do. Butler is going to be a solid player. A weeks rest will do wonders.

 

[Lotus]

Great game, 3 missed directly in front of the goal probably cost the game.

Not yet there, still lacking consistency, but it's building. So happy that the boys playing really well against contenders.

Really enjoying Buckley as commentator, hopefully we're getting more of him for our games.

 

[Oddhawk]

Gave plenty, showed plenty, honorable loss...........tick?

I ****ing hate that term… feels like Carlton.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Gee their last goal was hard to stomach after Scrimshaw, Sicily and Day played park ring a rosy with the ball and turned it over.

 

[Fat Tony]

Freo were playing at 50-60%. I have a feeling that part of the reason why our stats against top four teams is so good lately is that the 'good' teams are treating our games like byes. As soon as we play a Gold Coast or Essendon who are desperate for the win, it's a totally different result.

 

[Mrzohs]

Showed heart! Poor execution!
We battled hard and brought our A game, just couldn't take our chances to do enough damage!

Missing some fwd targets and skill thru the middle ( breaks a pack hits a target). I Would love a quick on baller, gut running Wingman. We played one tall target short around the ground, Callow was unsighted.

The side really missed these 3 boys today.Lewis, Gunners, BigBoy.

 

[extractasam]

Felt that that was Morrison's best game for the year.
Was always in the right spots, neat use and great defensive pressure.

Acres gave him a bath in the 3rd. 11 touches in first 10 mins, leading metres gained on the ground and kicked a goal on him at stoppage. I reckon he’s had better days tbh.

Hartigan seriously needs to keep his feet more went to ground on 4 or more occasions that left everyone else helpless.

Effort was really good though, feel like we were 2 key position players from winning that. DGB/Lewis gets us over the line in that. How good is Brayshaw though. Gave our mids an absolute lesson in workrate.

 

[Dewnior]

Thought we missed an opportunity to swap Hartigan and Callow. Wingard went missing in the last.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Nash was huge.

But the fact he and Callow look like they had no idea what they were doing from 20-30 out straight in front is unacceptable from proffessional footballers.

I feel that Nash did soooo many good things - it outweighs that shocker.
But yeah - they should be able to nail that.

 

[Franko Armani]

Played with great intent for most of the game which was quite impressive against one of the best sides at home. Found we are severely lacking outside pace - had nothing to create run apart from Cj. Had plenty of chances in the last but Mitchell, Shiels, Hartigan burnt prime opportunities with trademark poor disposal at critical moments on multiple occasions moving forward. Great effort though.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Sick of us getting flogged at clearances, you think there would some improvement in that area over the season, The reason we aren’t getting it done in games where we have had chances of winning, also sick of honourable losses, they can only can go so far

 

[rei154]

Acres gave him a bath in the 3rd. 11 touches in first 10 mins, leading metres gained on the ground and kicked a goal on him at stoppage. I reckon he’s had better days tbh.

I reckon if you watch his defensive positioning, ball use and direction across the whole game it makes up for a Purple patch.

 

[The hands of stone]

JOM was superb today along with Sicily and Moore .
Really even performance from the rest.

Effort was fantastic , less ball more inside 50s .
Was a game we really could have won .

Hopefully we see that every game post bye !

 

[macdaddio]

Did well with the team we sent out. Lewis plays we win
Our 3 games against the top 3.
1-Dees lost by 10
2-Lions won by 5
3-Freo lost by 13
