Autopsy Round 15, 2021: Hawks floor Giants

[KermitJagger]

Will day is just a freak , so many Similarities to Whitfield in the way he moves.

Already a margin ahead defensively

 

[grumbleguts]

Seeing so many people talk up Wil Day, but Daniel Howe was incredible today. What a turn around by him since the bye. Been easily in our top 5 players.
Dylan Moore could easily have had 6 goals.
And Scrimshaw was insane.
Ceglar and McEvoy dominated in the ruck and both did some good things around the ground and on the ground.
Mitchell 40 possessions, many of them didn't sell our players into slavery.
Someone said early Jiath was a liability, he was not.
And the less said about Tim O'Brien failing to bring the ball to ground in the goal square in the 2nd quarter, the better.
Better than* the Swans game.

Day being injured for much of the year is not the only reason we are near the bottom of the ladder but …tell you what …some of those close losses may have gone another way with him around

******* gun

He has top 5 player in the comp potential

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Huge response after quarter time.

Great to see the young players like Day, Scrimshaw, CJ, Moore and DGB on debut play so well.

Also credit where it's due - Howe has been good recently and was excellent today. He's stepped up and saved his career.

 

[MrPremiership]

Beat them badly at the stoppages, which is their one-wood and our poorest part of our game this year.

Huge concern for the Giants to keep losing these types of games.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Thought Cegs was not bad today either.

If he can produce games like today (decent but not out and out bog games like against Sydney) he stays in the team.

The Big Boy and Cegs combo seems to be clicking (albeit it a tad late in the season)

 

[blockman155]

I think Scrimmers is almost our most consistent performer over the last 2 years.

Can't really recall any truelly bad games from him since he joined the club to be honest.

That's how I rate players by and large, on their consistency.

Players like DeGoey or Stringer will have the odd outstanding game but plenty of dross in between but Scrimmers brings a high base level of performance every week.

Birchall 2.0

 

[James Colorado]

As much as David King is a bit of a numpty, he had it right in saying our backline is probably the most aggressive in the league. Almost all of them are elite contested/intercept markers

Nice... very nice

Sic to come back into that in 22, too.

From now on the Led Zeppelin song Ramble on shall be referred to as Bramble On.

You're welcome!

 

[Hawkas1988]

Howe again had an excellent game.

Day could be anything.

Scrimshaw was massive. Especially in the 3rd quarter.

Who was on Greene? Hardwick? Apart from 2 opportunistic goals, he was pretty much a non factor.

Before the game it seemed like this was the Toby Greene cup and they were about to unfurl a statue of him out the front of the G.

Quick question with this covid stuff and box Hill. Are our 2s having to isolate for 14 days? If yes, who didn't travel with them who might be available for selection. We will have two enforced changes with Dgb and Wingard likely to miss. Burgoyne comes into the 22. Mitch Lewis maybe as well. Could that mean seamus Mitchell is the last fit bloke standing who wasn't with box Hill??!

 

[Lotus]

On Kosi, although he missed few set shot since last games but receiving praises from Dunstall is really assuring.

Already watching the replay .

 

[Hodgey 15]

What do some feel is the reason behind Howe's turn of form?
Is he playing a different role? Tidied up some deficiencies?

Man..... My Dad died yesterday - He was a lifelong Hawks fanatic. He would've been proud of the effort today.

I know it's dumb but I feel like it was the club he followed all his life giving him a send off. Couldn't hold back the tears after the game.

So proud of this club

 

[Argy]

Our backline is going to be scary good in the next year or two

Where are we going to fit Sicily?

My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Today is definitely one for your Dad. Cheers to him.

Trying to add Sicily into that will prove a challenge

We are moving the ball cleaner. He’s playing on the wing we are moving the ball through and as the get out of trouble kick near the boundary.

As we are stringing possession chains together he’s able to get more ball on the outside. Also as teams tire as the year goes on he’s able to find more space that he wouldn’t otherwise

 

[VandoHawk]

Where are we going to fit Sicily?

Personally I think Sicily comes in for Hartigan. I like Truck and don’t think he’s been bad but Frost/DGB/Sicily is better balanced for the modern game. Could probably even rotate Frost and Truck based on the opposition.

Also think Impey gets pushed up the ground due to his flexibility to play wing/forward & his experience. I’d like to see Day on a wing but his defensive prowess is invaluable when we’re this attacking from the backline.

 

[WWSD]

This is the role that McEvoy should’ve been playing two years ago, not as a key defender.

 

[dermott]

Our backline is going to be scary good in the next year or two

It is pretty exciting now!!!!!

 

[Brant]

Hartigan's best game for the club IMO.

 

[theiaofseed]

The real challenge is opposition teams trying to stop that, when CJ is your 5th most damaging defender for run and carry, you know we've got something special

 

[dermott]

Day limping at the end there, is he all good does anyone know?

Leather poisoning
