Autopsy Round 13: Hawks v the SA 25 (Port Power)

[Strapping Young Lad]

You boys just had the treatment from the same three umps we had last week vs Carlton.
Say no more

That slimeball with the undercut. Needs a chinning.

 

[davoss]

I really liked what Hartley brings to the team, he has to stay in. Liked CJ taking the game on too, I'll wear mistakes if they are attacking minded ones

 

[nickrebellious]

Jonathan Brown just said Port has had a gruelling schedule... They've had like 9 home games, we've had one.

 

[MinerBoy]

I think we got 1 in the second half?

Stop ruining my story

Unbearable listening to that mental invalid all night.

 

[Soft as malaxos]

Really happy with the effort and intensity, couldnt buy a bounce which is often the way when things aren't working out. And that was the most pissweak umpiring display I've seen in a long time. All thst port convinced me of is they are the great pretenders

 

[eldorado]

Liked what i saw from Cousins as well, still unsure where he fits with our team but I definitely think he is an AFL quality player.

And though he's not fast, he's a bit quicker than I remember.

Very pleased with his game.

 

[Gauntlet]

Loved the effort and spirit. Not so much the free kick discrepancy - but long since given up on that.

 

[Pessimistic]

I have said it before. Umpire 32 detests Hawthorn and has no desire to hide it.

‘I have said it before, don’t get full time umpires, just put them in regular psych sessions. Some of them have real problems, to be fair it probably comes with the job

 

[Baz_hawk]

Great effort today.

Umpires best on ground for Port.

 

[westhawk]

Those umpires may aswell stand in the middle of the power song and get a team bukakke.

Yeah good old Jono Brown doesn’t think much.. has lost his marbles after all the head knocks

 

[Pessimistic]

On draft day, I’ll be toasting the umpires

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Glass was brilliant in the first half. Tagged after half time.

Howe was great

Cj was great

Hartley was... great?

Can't beat 25

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

At least a decent game to watch despite the loss. Enjoyed watching the youngsters, they did well today especially that young whipper snapper Burgoyne


Umpiring, well it's all been said

 

[Hawkas1988]

Proud of that effort, gee Big Boy was great

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Safely can say port will be found out in the finals

Won't shed a tear about that.

 

[Camros2]

how the hell did Hawthorn go a whole half without a freekick, seems to me port got carried by the umpires

 

[Gliggin]

Really proud of the guys, all the in’s showed something positive and will be better for it with a few more games.

Happy for Port, Who seemingly just won a prelim.

A hard fought close loss is perhaps the best result. Go Hawks.

 

[Delecate Des]

Can anyone with the IT skills put together clip of the umpire howlers and send to Gilligan and his numptys???

 

[Hodgey 15]

Boys showing plenty of heart and effort. Great sign
I love CJ. I think he's got some great potential. Takes the game on and has a good skills base.

 

[Bardo State]

Worpel was massive, especially early. Cousins looked comfortable and gave the midfield a different dynamic.

I think it's pretty clear where CJ is at now. Great attitude and run, but not polished enough for the level yet. Glass and Howe looked okay in patches and I'd want them to have more of a chance to adjust.

Day and Scrimshaw very solid again and I thought Stratton played one of his better games of the season, despite a few mistakes. Ollie's forward instincts shone through in a tough position.

Patton straightened us up and his tackling was great. Needs quick ball movement to be really effective, though.

Hartley's kicks from the back gave the team a needed element with Sicily out.

Crap umpiring but the game was in Hawthorn's hands and the team wasn't quite good enough. Missing a couple more solid players to put it away.

 

[burnside5]

The umpiring was absolutely disgraceful cheating or if it was not those umpires should be sacked!

It ruined a really good game with totally biased decisions at crucial times.

Hold your head high Hawks as we deserved to win that game.

Oh well, perhaps another better draft pick at the end of the day.

 

[Pessimistic]

It was like barracking for the hawks in the nineties. Not quite good enough, but with terrific heart and just maybe...

 

[Spursfan]

Port are the great pretenders. Barely beat our VFL heavy side with absolutely horrendous umpiring.

20-8 free kick count too, we haven’t been able to buy a free all season. Hopefully Clarko rips into the umpires.

Don't think this'll help us
