Autopsy Round 13, 2024 : Hawks slay the Giants

[Nugett]

I think Dermie mentioned that a few times…
God he does my head in.

Just in case people didn’t know it was Bruest’s 50th game at York Park, the most of any player. I was so pleased that Kelli kept reminding me of that fact every 2 minutes…

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Kingsley would be fuming over that.

They had a week off and couldn’t find the effort to outwork a young side in the second half.

Could understand if we jumped them and built up a lead, but they were ahead most of the day and we ran them down.

Where were their fresher legs?

Kingsley fumes about everything. Massive hot head.

I remember when we were really struggling there was someone posting that we need a coach like Kingsley who won't tolerate poor performance or players smiling (i.e. not being miserable) after a loss.

 

[Dewnior]

Hats off to our recruiting and development teams with what they have been able to do in the last few years.

If we haven't already THIS should grab the attention of some interested parties at trade time.

Checked the Telstra tracker at 3 quarter time and Weddle wasn't in the top 5 which was around 10.3km for the 5th placed player.

Finished the game at 15.3km so he's covered at least 5km in the final term.

Massive effort, what a weapon to have!

 

[Nugett]

What? Fourinarow?

Yeah… 2016 kinda killed that word for me…

 

[Fleabane]

What a win. I thought we weren’t too bad in the first half but we frittered our opportunities, luck wasn't with us, and I was worried we were going to just be gradually ground down. To come back like that, with that level of desperation and intensity in the second half was magnificent!!!

Videos that will never see the light of day:
- Replay of GWS goal which Day likely touched
- Replay of Breusts run down tackle, not paid.

 

[Lickmesocks]

Gutsy gutsy win.

We need Meek back badly for our midfield.

Let’s ruin Dustin’s big day next week and get the Tiger I mean Monkey off our backs once and for all.

 

[Glebehawk]

Massive considering no ruckman when it counted. Weddle, Day hats off. We might be the best scrapfest team in the comp.

 

[KermitJagger]

Videos that will never see the light of day:
- Video of Hunter Biden dropping his bag of coke at the Whitehouse
- Replay of GWS goal which Day likely touched
- Replay of Breusts run down tackle, not paid.

They showed a replay, it did hit boot first. That said I'm not convinced the umpire saw it, and just didn't pay based on the "Breust isn't getting a free kick" vibes we had today.

Weddle had a phenomenal fourth quarter.

5 disposals - 3 marks - 3 tackles - 3 hit-outs - 1 goal -1 behind (175 meters gained) - 100% TOG

The boys summarising the game:

 

[The_Axeman]

I emailed the club during the week, told them that today was my birthday and I'd appreciate a win please. I don't want to say I'm responsible for the win, but, well...you're welcome

 

[OnTheRocks]

Just in case it was in doubt, based on xG, we should have won by almost 4 goals:

And before the game, they should have

Did we ever see a replay showing if that Toby Green goal was touched by Scrimshaw?

Happy birthday Axe & miss your training reports btw

Don't be foolish grill

 

[theiaofseed]

We've matured since the start of the season. I haven't seen the second half but I thought after wasting our chances in the first half we would collapse and lose by 6 goals.

Big win in fighting out a game.

At this rate Dylan Moore is going to need his own personal cut man Rocky Balboa style to patch him up each quarter!

DGB needs to talk to his conditioning coach…

Going back and watching the passage everyone is complaining about, ignoring the other dubious decisions leading up to it.

Ginni played for the free and got it. I don’t like it and he needs to get it out of his game. However, they’d been playing that all game (like Bedford, Thomas, Moore etc.)

Newcombe clearly taken high. Wasn’t dubious at all.

Sicily was dumped after he kicked it. They’ve been (usually) paying that downfield all year.

This discussion is going to take away from the fact that our players juat don’t give up. It’s a fantastic trait for the future.

I am not sure if this has been highlighted but in the first half GWS(No. 20) kicked a goal as a result of a ducked tackle. He dropped his knees and went shoulder first and Scrim got him high. The Ginni one can be counted in the same category. At the end of the first quarter I thought I saw a player catch Ginni high while running forward at full speed which wasn't called and the ball reversal ended up as GWS score. Also in the first quarter there was a deliberate out of bounds called against Day..what a ridiculous call that was. I saw the game on mute so didn't hear any discussions around any of this.

 

[Viddiot]

Yes! Pass around the snakes, and get a sugar rush! Watched the scores see-sawing in the last with nervous anticipation. So happy the team found a way. Keep cracking on we're a chance of finals!!

Have a beer!!

*edit to add...I love Ginnevin's (well spell check later..srry G)..unbridled enthusiasm and obvious hunger for success!
