Autopsy Round 21, 2024 : Hawks snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

[phreeze77]

Completely different rule book for both sides. Going into our shell at 3 qtr time again seems we haven’t learnt our lesson.

 

[Billyc]

Gutting. Won’t make finals now and after that, don’t deserve to.

 

[scrim reaper]

Need Barrass badly.

 

[CHUBBSS]

The only thing worst thing losing was listening to Kelly at the end, Jesus Christ

 

[VandoHawk]

Forwards have to cop some criticism. They were unable to pressure in the second half, letting Giants get quick rebound with little resistance. Left our defence far too vulnerable.

A bad loss that hurts our final chances. Next week is do or die.

 

[Viddiot]

Oh well. We just weren't good enough in the last 8 minutes...couldn't get our hands on the ball, and seemed a step slower all around the ground.

Lost opportunity.

 

[Franko Armani]

Horrible umpiring. Giants have a different amount of time to dispose of the footy?? Those 50’s to Greene were bullshit.

Have we ever fumbled more in a game this year? Disappointing to be 5 goals up at 3/4 time and lose. Honestly they were helped home. They all look like they are juicing with Kingsley too.

Also, I reckon Sam realised he made a bad call subbing Dear so early.

No answer for big bodied Hogan. Can see Why we need Barass. Curnow and McKay next week is a scary proposition.

 

[JoeHawk]

umps gave us absolutely nothing that quarter. Sic gets free kick for the same missed all game. gutted

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted, bring on 2025.

 

[Ridingthebumps]

5 goals for three quarters then let them kick seven goals in the last. And we said we learnt from the Port game. Mitchell shat bed last 1/4. Daniel killed us and no adjustment. Season ending horrible loss. Bombers might be above us again

 

[Mercy Seat]

GWS are a serious team, but considering how much we dominated that hurts. Conceding 7 goals in a quarter is not something we’ve done in a long long time.

 

[Sturty]

Starting to chip the ball around with 7 minutes left just isn't it.
We need to take Carltons spot in the 8 now.

 

[PenAndPaper]

A lot of passengers today.
Very disappointing when being 28 up at 3/4 time.

 

[Worth a Kick]

These things happen. It’s been an amazing run and it’s still not over. Just can’t be giving up 7 goal qtrs. Lessons will be learned just like they were from previous games.

 

[JRH]

Send Breust and Gunston back to the VFL next week.

 

[wafj]

How we let an average at best player Brent Daniel’s run amok in that qtr too amazes me.

Disappointing. I wonder what would have happened if we had someone like Barrass to take care of Hogan.

 

[Jethro!]

Can we just stick to what gets us in front instead of playing like St Kilda at their worst?

They won all the ground ball in the last and our possession was just chipping around the 50 instead of getting our smalls to work. Did exactly what was the GWS problem in the first half. So annoying because it was an in the head loss not anything else

 

[Brucie Buffer]

Did we even attempt to do anything about Whitfield today?

 

[Sleutheren]

Every goddamn goal they kicked in the last was from turnovers on our half forward flank. Mitchell NEEDED to get the message out to them to, under no circumstance, kick the ball to a contest on our 50m line. Move it around until you can get deeper. Just a complete collapse.

[KermitJagger]

Feel we learned nothing if we're blaming the umpires for that. Sure there were bad calls but we never seemed to try not turning it over at half forward constantly, and that's what killed us.

 

[Baz_hawk]

I felt like after we took Calsher out of the game they really controlled the game from the back half. We needed height down there, even if it was just to take a opposition player out of a pack. Dear didn't have the best game but we looked a lot slower going inside 50 when it was only really Chol we could sit it on the head of.

Disappointing.

 

[badgrill]

Was always gonna be the toughest game to win out of our last few.

Still a good finals chance, though need results going more our way!

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Shit loss. Bottled it completely with finals on the line.

No Jelly or Coniglio and they ran all over us.

We didn't bother to lay a hand on Whitfield all game.

Day, CJ, Worpel, Ward all had stinkers. Watson couldn't get near it, but at least he applied pressure.
