Autopsy Round 4: Hawks have mare against Saints

[Strapping Young Lad]

Terrible decision making and skills throughout the day.
Couldn't connect or score inside 50.
Midfield as poor as ever.

Effort got worse as the game went on.

Go at it.

 

[Off The Couch]

It’s been a horrible day

 

[eldorado]

Mentally disintegrated. Fell to absolute pieces.

Nothing to be taken from that apart from working over the game review tape again and again

 

[SSSSSS]

 

[Max Powers]

Well that was just a giant brain fart of a game.

 

[PenAndPaper]

To play this game style you need good ball users and composure. We need more of that, didn't help that some of our best ball users had an off day as well.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Well, we will always have round 2 against Port

 

[grumbleguts]

That was bad.

 

[SSSSSS]

Footy is a simple game.

Don't kick it to the ****ing opposition.

 

[Davo-27]

reality check, we're building something good, but it isnt the finished product.

 

[Siri]

I reckon the first two weeks was a false economy ... but we're not that bad surely. Just insipid today.

 

[VandoHawk]

We gave them 100 points from turnovers.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Very disappointing day with many players not even close to their best. I can handle a loss if we are competitive, but that was not good enough today.

is a drug cheating thug.

 

[SA HAWK]

Exactly the same margin as last year.

 

[smish]

That was a genuine stinker. We knew at the start of the year this was going to happen with our young side. Just can’t let it happen like that again.

 

[rdhopkins2]

May well have an apoplexy if I watch this replay. UnHawthornlike performance. A plane crash event with very few positives.

 

[MadDawg]

Got flat-deck bullied by the biggest downhill skiers in the comp.

Some shameful umpiring and mind-numbing commentary made it a rather painful few hours.

 

[Kermit]

Sorry to intrude fellas - just wondering whether anyone knows the reason that your boys were wearing black armbands today?
Thanks

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

We gave them 100 points from turnovers.

That's appalling.

 

[Gunbarrel Jack]

last year - 69 point loss
this year - 69 point loss

sad day but hope we learn a lot.

the worst thing is - the saints aren't that good

 

[shotgun_blues]

Disgrace Fox. You pay $25 for Kayo to watch your team play, win or lose, and if the other team wins don't cut to the commentators. Play the winning team song for 2 minutes before cutting to the commentators.

 

[SA HAWK]

I reckon the first two weeks was a false economy ... but we're not that bad surely. Just insipid today.

Well North are a bottom 4 side and Port are winless so i think you are correct.

I think we are on the right track Mitchell was left a turd by Clarko but will be some big losses and some thrilling wins the next few years i think.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Mitch Lewis really could've had a day out today. 3.5.

 

[The hands of stone]

Tough lesson but need to be realistic as hard as it is
Beat North - likely back to back spooners
Beat Port - now looking like a rabble
Loss to Blues - gave up 7 goal lead - blues getting rolled by gc at the moment

Saints loaded up 2 years ago to challenge. They just looked physically bigger/stronger and we unravelled agianst it.

We will cop the same next week too , lets see how we respond. Will need slick good ball use to trouble the cats
Though CMac and Ward looked a bit tired btw.
