Autopsy Round 21, 2023 : Hawks roast the Pies

[cryptor]

Sammy said in the presser said he dislocated a couple of digits.

Must've got fingers caught up in Daico's jumper when it got torn.

 

[Topiary]

Must admit I was pretty sceptical when we selected Brandon Ryan in the MSD, but gee he looks a player. Also thought Scrimshaw was terrific, we are a far better team when he is playing and at his best. Let’s hope he can lock down his spot from here on in.

Scrimm just needs to see this, to feel this, be a hawthorn star, be a true hawthorn person. Not watch. Just be a true hawthorn person.

 

[Davo23]

Collingwood must have been very happy with the effort, they got pretty close in the end

Very brave!

Did someone say that earlier. Just checking.

 

[Agent Smith]

What a true professional.

Finn Maginness just tagged Daicos in a tweet.

 

[LRobbo]

Took my 8 month old son along tonight for the first time. He cracked it during the third quarter and I nearly left but I stuck it out to witness a landmark victory in this rebuild and made a memory with my son I’ll always remember.
Love this football club

 

[Breustiful]

Now that I’ve settled. Not enough love for Day in here. What a bloody champion. Made position and just ran. Was everywhere.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Sorry, which presser?

Would be the mid-week one

 

[RX Hawk]

How's that for a win?

What a performance from the midfield and Sic.

Take a bow Finn.

Enjoyable day, go at it.

This game should rest the case for Finn's importance for good. People sometimes don't understand and underestimate the importance of such a player. It's not always marks/handballs/kicks that matters but even how much your opposition best palyer got (5 for Daicos with a charity goal). He has a role to play and he does it every week when given.

Day could have been a dancer in another life.. my wife laughed when he twinkle toed his way out of a contest at one stage

 

[Brucie Buffer]

Wingard is done.
Why would you drop Meek for Reeves?
Kosi and Morrison in?
I will STFU, like most of you I’ve been a very fortunate supporter to see the flags that I have, but I can’t remember a time I’ve been so proud of my boys. I’m going to sit back and enjoy this next ride.
Go Hawkers!!!!!

Disappointing it was only 32.

Well... there's always next week.

M.Tuck reincarnated the way he plays .

 

[TylerDurden]

Chad needs another year. Another 26 today on a flank.
Morrison was outstanding.
Scrimshaw's best game for us.
3 tall fwds worked, and Ryan is a keeper.
18-3 centre bounce clearances is absurd.
Ward will be a star.
Sic is almost the best player in the comp.

 

[Topiary]

I thought Mitch Lewis, in spite of only getting 2, had one of the best games he's played all season. Some of his marking, pressure and tackling work was fit for a bloke 20cm shorter.

He competed. He became a target, but, BUT he had forward structure. He had TWO KP mates. Structure, just makes all the difference.

 

[Topiary]

M.Tuck reincarnated the way he plays .

Dare I say it, just a shade more pace and skill than Michael

 

[Bugs1977]

Just quietly, how good is Blanck. Doesn’t do a lot wrong.

Except for when he almost paralysed Reeves when he kneed him in the back. Pretty sure it was him.

 

[RustyHawk]

WE STUCK IT UP 'EM!

That was MOST enjoyable! Go Hawks!

Think that was Brandon Ryan

 

[spudmaster]

You ****ing little ripper!!!
What a brilliant performance. So nice to start a game off well - keeping them goalless in the first quarter was just class.
Withstood their repeated attempts to come back, and whatever the **** that double-goal drivel was (couldn't tell, neither could those around me - backchat?) and kept our foot on their throats as best we could until the very end, when the youngsters could've been forgiven for cruising in the final stretch given the margin, although that's always fraught with danger.

Finn's job on NDaicos, wowzers! He doesn't just reduce the impact of players like Kelly Daicos etc, he renders them damn-near useless.
Thought we were getting the ball out of the center pretty darn often (and stats seem to suggest that looking at them now) - looking forward to watching the replay to see it a bit closer up.

Beaut to see Ryan snag 3 also. Sicily with another champion game, bloke is all over the ground and marking anything and everything that gets delivered into our backline.

What a beaut performance and a great day.
Carn the Hawkers!

My daughter's just turned 4 and had been devastated by the Richmond loss as she had been hanging out to sing the song that day, only to be in tears at the end.

I wasn't so sure it was a good idea to take us to the game this week, as too many losses can kill the love of the game at that age, and i spent the tram trip in explaining how we are the youngest side in the competition and that as long as the team try their best we should be happy. But the hawks saluted and my daughter finally has her first W. Thanks to the fellow hawks fans who gave her a bunch of high fives. Being able to run out and have a kick afterwards and celebrate was just awesome.

Some highlights from where we were sitting, the first goal from Weddel was a real taste of things to come. The centre square dominance was just unbelievable. The tackles that landed that we've been missing. The star performances that we now expect from Sicily, Will Day and Jai seem to get even better. And the unexpected, Finn's game, his defensive goal square grab. Sticks. Chad. The gut running from Cmac. Scrim and Dimma down back. It will be good to see the replay.

It's exciting to see a bunch of players fighting for selection, and others stepping up a level to fight for their spots.

 

[MillerHawk]

Absolutely delighted. Sicily amazing, Finn's job on Daicos was superb, Jai great as usual, so many top performances today, and we've found a player in Brandon Ryan.

Absolutely love how Jai doesn’t take shit from anyone. Last saw that from a young Hodge.

 

[Bugs1977]

I thought Mitch Lewis, in spite of only getting 2, had one of the best games he's played all season. Some of his marking, pressure and tackling work was fit for a bloke 20cm shorter.

I noticed this too. His forward pressure led to 2-3 goals by my count. Awesome by the big guy especially when he was roaming all the way up to the middle of the ground and back again. Great leadership shown too.

 

[Phil McCreviss]

The presser was just posted on the AFL website.

McRae did pay compliments to the Hawks at the start and said Finn had a great game on Daicos and said he was a hard worker - having worked with Finn for 12 months.

Bit of a beat up IMO. He was an assistant coach with us for a year and wouldn’t think he would deliberately disrespect a former club. Never heard him disrespect Richmond or Brisbane either.

Presser mid week

I've been saying it for 2 years, he is far better at CHF than FF
