Autopsy Round 16, 2024: Hawks cook the Eagles

[Strapping Young Lad]

Nice win away.

Frustrating early though.

 

[Max Powers]

 

[Dinsdale]

Good.

 

[MinerBoy]

I remember frustrating 10 goal wins. Good signs

I feel good, who else feels good?

 

[KermitJagger]

I've never been so unsatisfied watching a 60 point belting. Felt like it should have been 100.

That said, it took them flooding D50 to stop it from being a 90 point belting that should have been 130.

Clinical

 

[VandoHawk]

Every week I hear the opposition played bad.
The pressure and structure from this young group is causing opponents to play bad.
A little bit of polish and this group will go a long way.

 

[HedgeFund]

That was a very pleasing outcome.

Ramped it up after half time and ran away with a handy 10 goal win.

No complaints.

 

[Bedi]

That premiership 3rd quarter is becoming our thing.

 

[Bugs1977]

A wins a win and dominated them from start to finish but you can't help but feel we left 8-10 goals on the table there.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Wasn’t pretty but we ground it out.
We are now a danger to EVERYONE.

Full credit to the boys btw.

 

[Bugs1977]

Was that Sammy there telling Brocky no you can't come back

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Happy Hawks …. A win is a win! Endeavours was great.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Watched it at the pub so hard to hear commentary etc. What did Sicily say at the end?

 

[Hotham Hawk]

Pretty stoked to have our first away win interstate in a couple of years.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Any news on Dear?

 

[marklar]

Take the win, take the percentage, just don't want to watch the replay.

Roll on to next week with confidence!

 

[Paul Kersey]

Few too many Hollywood moments. Forward entries need work - will kill me next week if Stewart gets it like Barass did today.

 

[peetoo]

Really impressed how the midfield took out the outlets from their midfield. Even when not denting first use.

For Geelong we need to watch the scores from turnovers when pressing. Weagles had a few dangerous looking turnovers, but managed to screw most of them up

 

[CHUBBSS]

We are being moulded into a very professional outfit as the season goes on, that was a clinical win with still so much upside.

Now onto the most important game of the season, a win at that catspiss stadium

Efficiency is something the'll need to improve on. Can't knock the effort though.

 

[Hodginator]

Can’t believe so many had their doubts about this game.

Should have won by 100+

 

[MistyAvalon]

so close to finals pity they missed all those goals

 

[BlueWaterHawk]

Good game to shake out the cobwebs, glad we came up against WC, they were awful.

This team is becoming really reliable, finals looming larger by the week. Hope none of the niggles are anything to worry about.

Lots of excellent players, starting with our captain and the dominant midfield group. Strange that Chol wasn't used in the ruck much, if at all. Mitch must have wanted him deep to attempt to counteract the affect f Barrass and McGovern... obviously. Edit: this isn't a knock on Chol, he was awesome. Just having a laugh at the influence of those two.
