Autopsy Round 16: St Kilda defeat Hawthorn

[Strapping Young Lad]

Lots of good efforts today from some new faces.

Scrimshaw, Cousins, Day and Worpel really leading the charge early before Jimmy got injured.

Fought the game out well considering the slab of games we've played.


Have at it.

Proud of the effort, liked some of the kids and we keep pick 3. Great result.

Just hope Worpel is okay, fingers crossed for him!

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Players entitled to be a bit disappointed. Had enough chances to win the game but couldn't take advantage. Saints won't go far in the finals despite their heavy investment in recruiting players from other clubs.

 

[lethalselbow]

Great effort by Hawthorn.

Greaves looks like a player!

 

[JoeHawk]

Did anyone see that? Scully just smiled.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Result was expected, but effort was there today which can't be said about last week.

Geary reckons we've played good footy over the last couple of weeks....

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Loved the games of Cousins, Scrimshaw and Day. Greaves good as well.

 

[Glenhope]

Time to stop all the glad handing at the end of the game. They're not your friends.

 

[VandoHawk]

Great effort Hawks. They had a longer break and we had two injured players (Worpel & Morris). We kept fighting and it was only our execution that let us down. This was the textbook definition of an honourable loss.

 

[WWSD]

Good solid debut game by Greaves: 17 disposals - 7 marks - 6 rebound 50s - 94% disposals efficiency

 

[Max Powers]

We had a crack, tried our best.

Hoping Greaves and Moore get more games, played well i thought.

Liked Mitch Lewis' game.

Gutted for Worpel, rest up young man and come back stronger next year.

Big shout out to Gunston too, been a tough year and he has tried his guts out every week. All class.

 

[Millsie69]

Positive signs from the kids.

Greaves more than capable at the level.

Moore disappointing.

Morrison: see ya!

 

[Iceman!]

Great effort by Hawthorn.

Greaves looks like a player!

Greaves is a nice ball user, tough bugger as well. I like him.

Day, Sicily, Scrimshaw, Greaves and all of a sudden our ball use out of the defensive 50 looks much better.

Time to stop all the glad handing at the end of the game. They're not your friends.

Many of them are, you sod.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

pleased with the effort, a close loss with plenty of positives is a win/win!
thought really every one of the kids other than Morris and his son fired a shot today, but hopefully the former gets a chance to play the rest of the season

*that said i would still love a win, even if its detrimental to our future

 

[Billyc]

Good effort.

Impressive debut from Greaves and Scrimshaw and Day were good again. Half back line looks really good - Scrimshaw Day Greaves Sicily Impey.

Worpel was dominant until injured. His season is probably now finished but he was so much better when given greater responsibility.

Cousins should have now secured his spot for next year. I think we’ve seen enough of Morrison.

Moore will need to do more over next 2 weeks. I liked Hardwick forward

so now the hawks get a longer break than next opponents? No exactly the same

 

[hamohawk1]

Enjoyed that, all the kids had a crack. It's really all us supporters have wanted for a few weeks now.

 

[smeltitdeltit]

the first isn’t kicking in danger apparently.
The second isn’t a hip to the head. Apparently

no malice, accident but clearly two free kicks.

Edit: 2nd won’t load for some reason

 

[MinerBoy]

Win or lose, it was watchable.

That's a start.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

also how are them make up free kicks in the last 2 mins of the game when it's sealed? love your work umps!!!!

‘Pay holding the ball’

umpire just followed with a dodgy free against

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Pleased with Greaves' game, he must keep his spot. No more Stratton.
