Autopsy Round 21, 2023 : Hawks roast the Pies

[StillAtLarge]

Anyone able to make a gif of that Will Day spinning clearance? He looked like James Hird in his prime; poise, skill and ethereal movement

 

[lethalselbow]

You play forward, sometimes you’ll get hit from all directions, like forwards do.

The Blanck hit is a non-issue. Slightly late, didn’t get him high and and didn’t even go through with it. No 50 and Collingwood players didn’t seem to care, Blanck just got up and strolled off.

Even Daicos was matter of fact about it. I thought his response/behaviour on the bench was pretty mature tbh, given how his day panned out.

Daicos is a class outfit. Just plays for the wrong team.

 

[James Colorado]

The best part of the win is arriving at work on Monday and noticing the lippiest Collingwood fan has squibbed the whole day

Another thing I noticed in the replay is how much of an offensive weapon Weddle is forward of centre.

He just has too much power for any and all defensive wingmen/half backs.

And his size means he's competitive in the air; he's quite good overhead.

One thing I made a point to pay attention to at the game was how hard Lewis works off the ball. I groan whenever he's providing a linking option on the wing as he's more valuable taking those marks inside 50, but whenever he did that on Saturday I watched what he did after his kick. He works HARD to get back deep after centring the ball, and is often at the end of that same chain. Very fit and quick for someone his size.

Which one? Toes does it so often.

Remember when Bont took that contested mark on Luke Hodge in the 2016 semi? That was the torch passing moment from one superstar to another, and the final score of that game symbolised the ushering of a new era.

Had that exact same feeling when Weddle and Pendlebury were chasing a bouncing footy and Josh just ran straight past him and took off with it.

 

[A Diakos]

You've heard of this bloke named Matthews yeah?

Leigh matthews played ruck rover for the majority of his career

He played mainly forward the last 3/4 years of career

Are you suggesting that Weddle stole Pendlebury's talent like the Nerdlucks did to the NBA stars in Space Jam?

Wouldn't mind it!

I loved that moment for the commentary, when they said "Pendles is great but he can't beat Weddle in space" or something to that effect. Wether it's true or not, the fact that the wider footy world is already clued into the Weddle Waddle and sees him as a player of interest is great.

Will Day was a beast

Q: How come he is about 1000 times stronger than he appears?

Wonder which coach didn’t rate Maginness shutting down Daicos.
Would laugh if it was McRae given he spent half his post match press conference talking about the battle he had moving him around

 

[grumbleguts]

Four Hawthorn players got more centre clearances than Collingwood.

 

[bigmaxi]

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

The Get in his face attitude at every opportunity is sooo Hodgee. Made me giggle very proudly, saw Day shoulder someone and bounce off But with intent, the two of them get what it is to play for Hawthorn.

Yes, Lewis is quick. He was really motoring when he burst through with that 50 metre goal in the 3rd quarter. He was pretty pumped too.

Can someone explain how McCreery got a vote? 11 touches 1 goal 4 tackles even his large number of pressure cast at 25 was third behind Worpel and Crisp who had 26 and 27 touches respectively. I know stats aren’t everything but in a side that got smashed I am at a loss.
