Autopsy Round 18, 2021: Hawks draw with Demons

[SSSSSS]

BB led the way with his physicality. We were ferocious at the ball and man.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

O'Brien still hasn't played in a losing side to Melbourne

played in one earlier this year I’m pretty sure

 

[Nastyfish]

Ned reeves changes everything. No more max free ride. Kosi shoulda mon it for us.

Tom Mitchell had 40 pressure acts, thats an insane number.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Fantastic effort all round.

Mitchell was magnificent.

Ned reeves changes everything. No more max free ride. Kosi shoulda mon it for us.

What a difference not kicking it to Gawn makes

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Gooddraw was out of ideas

 

[SSSSSS]

Tom Mitchell had 40 pressure acts, thats an insane number.

He was in everything today. One of the best games I've seen from him.

 

[Nastyfish]

What a difference not kicking it to Gawn makes

We kicked it wherver we wanted and we had the big fellas to make it work. What a change!

Jeka was ordinary and kosi missed an easy one. But these fellas are kids with <10games.

Gotta pay respect to reeves and the midfield. We beat those guys and they are shite!!!

 

[H00t]

Worps was huge. Had a really poor start to the game especially with his disposal. But had a huge 3rd quarter with 12 and a goal that really kept us alive and despite having an off kicking night still managed equal highest score involvements alongside Breust.

Mitchell defensively probably had one of his better games, lots of pressure and a big mark in defence late.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

I don't think you'll find a better effort than that all season, and not just from us but I'm talking league wide.

A 17th placed side talking on the top side and running them close is a great effort, never mind drawing without the likes of:
- Sicily
- Gunston
- Wingard
- Day
- Impey
- Hardwick
- Scrimshaw
- CJ

We didn't have Morrison either, and he has been quite serviceable this season.

Edit: how could I forget Sicily.

 

[Hodgey 15]

Tom Mitchell had 40 pressure acts, thats an insane number.

He was great.
Yet the calls to trade him will still persist.

 

[Dipper]

Until today, he'd played in more losses than wins. 3 wins 4 losses from 7 matches until today. Now it's 4 - 4

Hmmm...is it really?

I think this is the happiest I’ve ever been after watching a draw…

Dees were just the opposite.
Viney at his post match interview looked gutted.

 

[Iceman!]

He was great.
Yet the calls to trade him will still persist.

Because trading him was never because he was no good...

 

[JoeHawk]

I always wanted Callaghan anyway.

Brocky has me excited.

If Kosi sorts out his set shots that'll go a long way for him and the side.

That’ll come. Roughy had some issues early in his career and managed to fix it. Give him time

 

[Cyril says]

Amazing game.

I didn’t believe before, but I believe now!

 

[JoeHawk]

10 players with under 35 games. But critically.... only one of them a top 10 draft pick (in his 3rd game mind you!). A lot of the others went 40-50+, and then rookies. Seriously, we are starting from way back but I reckon the club deserves some kudos for getting the best out of a crop of youth that not many other clubs could. Clarko, Mitchell, whoever... development is very good.

If this was Suns, the footy world would be in raptures about how good their youngsters are, but the difference is they’d be top picks. Excited enough now, let alone with what can happen with a sprinkling of top end talent coming in over the next year or two.

And there’s Fin still waiting. Excited to see what a preseason brings and having a real shot at it next year.

 

[Pessimistic]

hawkins notably

 

[JoeHawk]

I like frost to, but his turnovers that cost us goals will mean he won’t be a key in defence when we are back up, unless he can tidy that up I see him as the 7/8 best defender in the years to come

Most turnovers come from snickers defensive clearance kicks. Hoping that once we have a settled defence that can back up each other then still style of play mostly disappears

 

[bigmaxi]

Are we leaving Jeka in that mix too, to complete the 'three-headed monster'?

The other option is Jackson , great to have them competing for spots , will bring the cream to the top.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Dees were just the opposite.
Viney at his post match interview looked gutted.

He looked gutted because he knows next time we play we will be a much much better side and they won't get a better chance to get a run of wins against us than right now. Also because they have left themselves open to lose a top 2 spot.

And there’s Fin still waiting. Excited to see what a preseason brings and having a real shot at it next year.

Maybe twin Finns in the midfield too, if our draft position remains unchanged

 

[essaynode]

Whatever we did different this game with the midfield set up we must replicate. First time the midfield seemed to click after quarter time.

I think it was the Reeves McEvoy combination. Gawn did not completely dominate the ruck like earlier in the year when we got smashed.

 

[essaynode]

How good is it not getting absolutely pantsed in the ruck, and against the games best ruckman. I'm on the Reeves train.

Any seats left on that train?
