Autopsy Round 17, 2024 : Hawks fall in a hole in Geelong

[Strapping Young Lad]

Hardly turned up early.

Fumbly and a mess for most of the day.


Go at it.

Blergh

 

[Max Powers]

Well....

 

[VandoHawk]

There was always going to be a game when the pressure and skills would falter. It’s a taxing gamestyle for a young team. We were jumped early, and didn’t handle the pressure. Heads dropped.

Those slicing kicks that have been opening teams up were being missed and opening us up on turnover. They kicked 11.9 from our errors.

We move on.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Insipid. As bad as it gets

Round 17, 2024 : Hawks fall in the hole of Geelong

EFA

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Absolutelt smashed. Terrible performance, but I suppose we were due one. Shame it had to be against them.

 

[smeltitdeltit]

Nah nah nah. You’re idiots see, impey in the dying seconds, collect ts the ball whilst jumping, simultaneously being tackled.. that’s holding ball see

 

[extractasam]

get us off this sausages shaped pos asap.

Moore, Day, Worpel all good, majority of the rest missed the brief. Cats remain too good for us

 

[kirbatron]

didn't fire a shot which is disappointing

no hawk tuah tonight

 

[burger09]

POP!

was fun while it lasted.

Can we bounce next week?
Or is that us for the year.

 

[Wingnut19]

Not sure what has happened to Shammy but he’s a shell
Of his former self. Just looks completely out of his depth. No more Punky until his farewell game. Dear is a automatic pick from here on out

 

[HappyHawk_1]

We were completely outclassed - they provided the team with a massive reality check. They were clean, and we were incredibly sloppy.

Defence all at sea without Sicily.
Midfield bullied by an average midfield unit.
Forwards not at all connected.

Moore and Worpel deserve credit for cracking in, however we were ultimately just shown up by a team who were ‘on’ and better.

 

[Faraway Hawk]

Positives: Don't have to travel to that shithole of a ground again!

 

[Matilda05]

Young men could not dictate the use of the ball on their own terms tonight, Geelong were too good with their pressure , and turns overs cost us.

 

[Hawk Vision]

Like a kid with no arms in a tree…was just never in it

 

[Paul Kersey]

Pretty gutless effort imo. Outworked and not hard enough. Onto next week.

 

[seysearles]

We needed that. We aren’t a finished product yet and hopefully now the media will shut the **** up.

Geelong played really well and they deserve credit. They never let up and we couldn’t find a way to disrupt them.

Learn from how much pressure good teams put on you. Learn how to deal with it and learn how to emulate it. Then we can make these losses a positive. I think we are capable of doing that.

ps we didn’t lose because of Sicily just please don’t

 

[The Chad and I]

The Chad and I
I’m getting zero satisfaction from this game. I’d even say it’s potentially bad for our form.

West coast are awful.
We’re even getting some goals by accident.

From the West Coast game thread
We got soft.

Need to go back to hunting the contest.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Don't think I want to analyse that at all - the worst kind of game. Just half a second late to every contest and handball, no fluent plays from the back half.

When twerps like Close and Rohan are kicking goals it means your system has been broken down.

 

[kenneje]

Moore excellent. Worpel our only mid that turned up.

Thought Scrimshaw and D’Ambrosio were fine. MacDonald alright.

Basically everyone else was beaten today comfortably.

Felt the loss was coming, but still yuck.

 

[Stottzy]

A good wake up call that we still have some work to do if we want to compete at the top. Need more depth.

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

Sh!t coaching.

Sh!t team selection.

Sh!t on the ball.

Sh!t pressure.

Sh!t disposal.

Sh!t defending.

Sh!t effort.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Absolutelt smashed. Terrible performance, but I suppose we were due one. Shame it had to be against them.

Hard to stay up for two months. Every side has had similar games this year.

Trick will be the regroup as quickly as we can for next week as we are still in the hunt for finals with the Doggies and Suns also losing this weekend.

 

[VandoHawk]

I’d also like to give a shout out to the umpires who let Geelong kick not one but two goals in seperate instances because we were a man down without play being stopped.

It certainly wasn’t the reason we lost but there were two standards tonight.
