Autopsy Round 23, 2023 : Hawks fall to the Demons

[Strapping Young Lad]

Couldn't fault the effort for much of the day, but we were bettered by a more seasoned side.

Hustwaite with a nice debut.

Go at it.

 

[grumbleguts]

Moral victory.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Not disappointed by that - we had a decent crack.

 

[Jethro!]

Young blokes plucky against a premiership fancy. Had a crack.
Missed Mitch up forward bad.
Big Ned played well

 

[CD Xbow]

Damn fine effort sans our best forward and mid fielder.

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

Today's game;

Why I love the Hawks.

Why I despise the umpires.

And why I hate watching AFL games ruined by incompetent umpires and the overpaid meddling doucheclown AFL executive.

 

[Hodgey 15]

Like the look of Hustwaite.

[Paul Kersey]

Decent effort given outs and opposition. Last quarter was cooked though get that. Happy with what I saw.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Apparently your not allowed to remind Melbourne supporters they voted yes..
Security is ****ed

 

[Endorphin Machine]

Couldnt trouble May and Lever today.
Reasonable effort , looked good when we had uncontested possession. Weddle was impressive. Still holes up forward to fill.

 

[spudmaster]

Pretty happy overall with that performance.
Very impressed with the midfield in the absence of Newk - huge from them to step up and still be strong clearance wise and contested wise.

 

[hawker11]

Got a good look at the kids against a quality side. All we can ask for from today.

 

[LunchboxLegend]

Super proud, but super frustrated.

2 sets of rules out there.

Kosi and Impey can’t be in our flag side.

Think you might be my favourite poster on this forum, always piss myself laughing at your posts

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Happy with that overall. Onwards and upwards!

 

[VandoHawk]

Couldn’t get past their defensive wall. It was always going to be an issue with Lewis/Ryan out.

Loved the signs from our younger players. All of them showed a lot of good signs. Denver flying at everything & Hustwaite kicking 2 were my personal favourites.

Thought a few of our senior players didn’t perform as expected today.

 

[KermitJagger]

Promising. Ran out of steam, to be expected considering the run we've been on. We ice that early and win with Lewis and Newc.

 

[Rhayader]

Great viewing. Except for Amon and Impey. They were putrid.

Putrid gets thrown around willy nilly a lot in this place…

 

[blackheart]

We did have a crack. Couldn't have expected to hold up as well with HH, Ramsden, Long and Serong playing today, as well as DGB and Kozi as the main forwards. .

All I can add is that Melksham has a punchable face.

 

[WWSD]

Hustwaite: 15 disposals - 2 marks - 5 tackles - 2 goals - 80% disposal efficiency

 

[SSSSSS]

Result aside it was a great showing from what would probably be the youngest side we have fielded all year.

This was DGB's breakout game as a forward IMO. Ran out of steam but there is so much to work with. That 2nd quarter was WOW. Should have been paid an extra couple of marks.

Reeves had the better of Gawn.

CMac with another (almost) 20 possession 2 goal game.

HH great on debut.

 

[eldorado]

Tried hard.

They got the rub from the umpires, and the rub from the bounce, and we gave up too many turnovers from which they capitalised.

As soon as Lewis was out, followed by Jai, it was going to be uphill. A fair effort from our boys against a strong team with something to play for.

 

[daniel23]

Pretty obvious but we need as much fwd talent as possible this off season , we have everything else. Worpel is a star .

 

[RobHawk]

Worpel loves being the man.
A great game from him against top opposition.

 

[SA HAWK]

Like Dermie just said we made them play well to beat us.
