Autopsy Round 3, 2023: Hawks skin the Roos

[threesixpio]

Still not sold on brockman, but bloody hell it was a smart game. Led to the right spots, chased hard. Will make a believer of me very quickly if he keeps that up

Impey and bramble the turnover kings. At least Impey finally put his body on the line

Any doubt about Scrimshaw not being in the best 22 was greatly exaggerated.

25 disposals - 9 marks - 4 rebound 50s - 1 goal - 88% disposal efficiency

Spanked them in contested possessions (+20), clearances (+16), tackles (+8) and one-percenters (+6).

Solid game (even if they did have two key outs in Simpkin and LDU).

Day - BOG. What an amazing start to the season.

CJ - Scintillating first half. Well held in the second.

Brockman - What a return! Just class all round. With and without the ball. His bumps and sheppards in the forward half were almost as valuable as his goals.

Nash - Amongst the best I thought. 24 possies, 6 tackles, and just strong around the contest.

Greene - Great reward for effort. Could have had four.

Morrison - Thought he had a really solid game, despite a clanger or two.

Newcombe - Hard at it. Strong in the air. Felt he had to play a bit more forward with our outs?

Moore - Great first quarter, quiet middle, strong finish

Worpel - A bit of a quiet game compared to the last two weeks.

Meek - A day to forget today. Onwards to next week.

A bit of an emotional rollercoaster today! Credit to the team to get off the mat, and close out the win. A great game to build off!!

Very endearing hearing Brocky speak. Fast becoming a fave!

 

[Topiary]

Great win. We would be very competitive with Lewis back and a CHF who can take a mark.

 

[Stranglers]

This is Hawthorn!!!!

That was an awesome moment. Future captain right there.

 

[RoughysMullet]

Sure looked a lot like tanking today… what a pissant Barrett is

 

[the big lebowski]

Well done hawks. Wanted it way more.

Day is a star.

Suck on that one media flogs! I wonder how they will spin that into a negative. Amazing turn around from two insipid performances.

Only watched the last 7 minutes so looking forward to watching the replay. Harry, Brockman and Scrim made a huge difference in the small portion which I watched.

 

[ShortRaver]

The team showed belief, backed each other and held on till the last minutes to break open the wrestle. So many positives to take away when things click.

Having our first win being against Clarko is a little bit symbolic personally as it shows we can look positively to the future with Mitchell. Of course, we still have a long way to go, but I'm excited to see what's in store.

GO HAWKS!

 

[OnWardnUpWard]

Day, Moore, Ward, Brockman and Mackenzie. Gotta keep these lads together.

 

[SA HAWK]

Had to win that with the players North had out.

Frustrating game but plenty of good signs regardless.

 

[Jet_black]

Great game from this bloke

 

[MightyHawks86]

Shout out to both CMacs. Connor very very clean, and Cam WILL get his first goal!

 

[WWSD]

This game was won at selection.

IN
Scrimshaw
Brockman
Morrison
Nash (full game)

 

[WWSD]

Jiath seems to play much better when Scrimshaw is in the team.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Media create the pressure, then say "wow Sam, you had to deal with so much pressure this week!"

Good to get a win - we were alllll over them for most of the game.
We are a small side - Sicily the only tall in the side with any liklihood of winning his position on the ground.

• Day was brilliant to watch, thought it was the best skills he's shown. Took a big hit, dished out some big tackles, and just so creative.
• Newcombe was great off a forward flank
• Having Ward in the backline as a skilled player with good decision making (especialy when playing an uncontested game) was a great move.
• Brocky and Moore - smalls that know where the goals are
• Scrimshaw played a seriously good game.
• Absolutely smashed them in the clearances. 42 to 24

 

[Stranglers]

Haha how is Sam Mitchell's instruction to Brocky for his game plan - "go out there and take mark of the year"

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Gameday thread was a mess. There were a lot of posters - many who have been on here a long time - who chucked their tantrums far too early. You know who you are.

Pick it up or you are in for a long, long season.

This is where we are. We will lose most games and bottle a few winnable ones too.

But you need to relax, enjoy the kids and know that for every loss, we get closer to a generational player.. Insults without substance towards guys like frost, Greene, meek, reeves, impey and Nash, there is no need for it. These guys need to play to protect our kids. They aren't guns and likely they won't be in our next flag. But try and remember is a development year

Our most promising players (the ones who may become a grade) are all under 22.

Day, Newc, cmac x2, ward, brocky, moore, scrim, cj, worpel, hardwick, amon... it's a ****en exciting list but it's a slow burn.

Hmmm…it kinda was

NO IT WASN'T

 

[MinerBoy]

Did what we had to do. Threatened to fluff it but finally found the composure and much needed one goal to steady the ship.

Regardless of result much more to like in terms of ball movement, defensive efforts and tackling.

Day, Brockman real highlights but plenty of terrific contributors. Hardwick, CJ,Scrim and Moore great all day.

CMac x 2 both real talents.

So as is often the case, things are never as bad or as good as they seem.

Day, Moore, Brockman brilliant.

Day getting better by the week.
