Autopsy Round 23, 2024: Hawks smack Tigers

[boratsagdiyev]

Not sure about Newcombe's haircut

 

[seysearles]

Chol was even more laconic than usual today I thought

Mabior Chol being laconic.

Massimo was once again superb today. Some of his kicks and also defenseive efforts were insanely good.

That one play (at about 1:55 on the highlights) where he collected, stepped by someone and then drilled a kick from between two Richmond players was superb. The kick hit Moore on the tit with some velocity. It was a worm burning lazerbeam.

 

[Slainte]

Not a lot of love for Worpel in here so far. I thought he was great today

Yes - kept impacting the contests - as did Nash.

 

[Tall poppy Syndrome]

Couldn’t get Day a tracksuit at least

Yeah after seeing that I now can’t get out of my head the thought of Will Day permanently dressed in his game day strip - eating breakfast, shopping, at the beach…

 

[Phil McCreviss]

Tough crowd in here.
Round 5 : can't see where out next win comes from
Round 23 : that was an average 10 goal win

Here's our reality. We have a bunch of kids running around and are still developing. As Sam always says "not a finished product".

To constantly have the expectation we are going to trounce opposition en route to a flag is unrealistic. For many of us, the season has been a raving flippin success Even on the off chance we lose to North and miss finals.
Some posts in this thread smack of entitlement. We still have a long way to go. Mitch is building this team to not just win 1 flag but repeat the dynasty he helped lead 10 years ago.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

"Kick a ****ing drop punt!"?

Same screams in my section.

 

[smeltitdeltit]

Can anyone explain the 50m penalty against Worpel in the last? He ran up to the mark and then stopped. Didn’t run over it as far as I could see

If that was 50 then the one not paid in the lies/swans game should have been a 300m penalty

I think the best thing about the win is it’s clear where we were good and where we need to put the work in. If we can get 10% more out of a few players then we are really hard to beat. Biggest concern is young minds over the finals bye. I’m pretty quick to make some big statements after a poor performance but I reckon all we can do is get behind this team and give them everything we got. Get to the training sessions if you can. Keep positive in the comments. Turn up to the games. Keep your scarfs on. We have been fast tracked to finals by a great coach and willing young team. We are at the foot of the mountain range. This is about the next decade now. Go Hawks!

 

[MtGHawk]

And that basically tells you everything you need to know……

True. However booing a player that was let go from the club is a bit rich. Chol and Dear are certainly huge upgrades.

Geez, how good will Dear be for us!?!

Yep ure right and I am guilty of it myself. It's expectation after that scintillating first qtr. I apologise to everyone that was sitting in my location. We need to appreciate the monumental season from our boys

Unfortunately very few sides that earn a 50 point lead after the first quarter end up winning by 200 points

True but it’s human nature. In life we spend up to our income as it increases we expect better as we receive better treatment or results. Add to that how average the sides in the finals are and we have a chance this year. If we don’t that’s fine we are on the right path. I’m daring to dream.

Yeh that booing was pretty bizzare

Still need to cement a spot in finals. If/when we secure the 4 points this week then we can dare to dream. Sitting 7th in round 23 no matter how tight it all still is speaks volumes after a 0-5 start.

Yours is post of the day for me though.

Ginnivan also missed a sitter

 

[DogDaySonny]

I’m quite happy knowing that if we get beat in the finals it will take a great game to do it. The boys won’t roll over and pee on themselves for any side. But until I have to test that conviction, I’m thinking that…

Have a look in the gameday thread. There's expectation and then there's idiocy.

There were posters saying our second quarter was the worst football they'd seen this year (!). The reality is Richmond tried a few things and I think Sam let it ride to see how the team reacted. In the third we adjusted and then ran over the top of them.

Right on MtGHawk, last year our forward line consisted of Fergus Greene, Denver, Chad and Kosi in the main forward positions. We had nothing coming through when Mitch Lewis was injured. In 12 months the transformation is incredible, but there’s still more to do.

 

[Coathanger]

Ginnivan also missed a sitter

Along with a heap of tackles. His worst game in a while.

 

[TheFourPillars]

That second qtr is how Geelong got us at their home. Contested marking around the ground. It is our weakness. It can be used against us. We are building I wasn't annoyed by the second qtr the opposition came in with a plan and executed and we had to adapt and we did in the 3rd. We had so many chances in the last qtr but we still took some. Its Meek monday and a 10 goal win. We hold destiny and finals in our own hands. What's there to be upset about. Can't wait till next week. Excitement for finals is building

You’re 100% right. I still describe yesterday as a frustrating day at the footy because of all the circumstances - Day going down and West Coast failing dismally combining with our second and third quarters was a bit annoying. Definitely felt more philosophical about it all once Day was confirmed as no break.

Ginni has missed many sitters this year unfortunately.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Another year of Breust would be invaluable for Ginni and Watson. If they could be as reliable as prime Breust was then they’d be formidable.

 

[Flamin Joe]

We beat North regardless, just takes the cut throat factor out of it knowing we've made it and can rest a few who might be underdone and at risk of further damage. Not worried about Bris, haven't beaten us since 2019.

It's a nice stat but how many of those games since 2019 have been at the Gabba? None.

Brisbane are a completely different proposition at home and I wouldn't take them lightly, especially in a cut throat final.
