Autopsy Round 5, 2022: Hawks skin the Cats

[ahhhhhh]

Yeah he cops it a lot but he's the one that does all the defensive body work at stoppages to let everyone else go to work. He's such an unselfish player, very underappreciated

I can assure you he does not do the defensive work at stoppages, which is why our midfield has been so poor for 4ish years. Nash and Newcombe are our only midfielders that show defensive intent.

Scrimshaw and Mitchell were huge in that last quarter. So proud of this young team, we keep that pressure up and we win every week

Yep I lamented Mitch’s god awful dink kick on that outer wing but overall that was a really excellent game from him.

LETS GOOO

How good was Scrimshaw in the last 10 minutes? He 3 or 4 massive wins

 

[Dipper]

Awesome!

That scrimshaw contest in the centre with a couple minutes left needs to get some credit. He saved so many goals today. Love him. Anyone on not have Newcombe as their fave player? Cult hero already

 

[CHUBBSS]

That 4th quarter effort was amazing, season defining win!

 

[SA HAWK]

To come back 2x after it looked like they were going to blow us away with a team full of kids and no ruckman and actually win.

Amazing.

 

[JoeHawk]

that said, i knew we'd won about 2 mins into the last quarter when Sic started taking intercept marks again

it looked like Geelong had tired and their structures were falling apart, like they did at the start of the first when we caught them off guard

The conditions certainly suited us and Geelongs old legs began to tire. Losing Reeves in the wet also didn’t hurt us greatly either.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I really thought we'd blown it at one stage there, but the final term was ..... "Hawthorn".

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

a lot of talk about how we could lose Sic if it got us pick 3-4

i agree with the sentiment, but even beyond how good his game was today, just listening to him talk its so much different to a few years ago

he has evolved into a leader. I'm convinced he's our next captain. I don't think we should lose him

 

[Hawks1523]

Mission accomplished.

What a ****ing win.

 

[threesixpio]

Well done Nash!!! Very handy player now

 

[WWSD]

Jai Newcombe take a bow son. Fantastic game by the kid. What a great pick up by the club!

Is anyone else concerned that he’s now gone past Worpel?

 

[Pessimistic]

I swear gelling thought there were two CJs in the last bit

 

[SSSSSS]

I know JOM doesn't get much love this year but watch him take Stewart out of the game in that last quarter.

Things weren't going right. Didn't sook, sucked it up and did the sacrificial team role to take their most important chess piece off the board.

That's why he's our (acting) captain.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Is anyone else concerned that he’s now gone past Worpel?

Not in the least. Hopefully Worpel will take up the challenge.

A typical miserable Melbourne day, we’ve gone from Summer to Winter in a week, at least we weren’t in danger of getting sunburned!

1. I love hard fought, come-from-behind games like that, particularly against a club that considers us to be a rival: I hope the Cats enjoy the rivalry, we don’t even notice.

2. We conceded the lead several times, the comeback was all hard work across the whole team. I always feel the Hawks will come back, last week was an aberration. Everyone contributed, such a great team effort. And we finished with a bang!

3. Jai Newcombe is a player for the future, just needs to improve his decision making, and he’ll be there.

4. Selwood is a sad leftover of a footballer: I guess he doesn’t get the free kicks, and then has no influence on the game, and it’s been like that for a few years. I wonder if Scott will be brave enough to drop him.


Go Hawks!

Couldn't watch or listen to the game, will Duke get the Rising Star nom this week?

Nomination, he is currently shaping the medal out of iron with his own bare hands.

Excited yes

Concerned no

[hfc70]

Don’t care if we meet the Cats in the Finals (that’s if the Cats make Finals)

Jai Newcombe BOG (closely followed by Scrimshaw & Italian stallion)

 

[spudmaster]

Carn the mighty Hawkers!

 

[RX Hawk]

Good hard game all around. Things to discuss at training next week:
1) Kick ins
2) Handballing
3) How to avoid 50m stupid penalties
Amen.

 

[juice t]

us losing reeves (our only ruckman) makes this, for me, the best win we've had in a very long time

so many heroes

It evened itself out

We didn't have a ruckman for 3 quarters

And by the looks of it Geelong didn't have one for the entire game

 

[almuz]

Loved CMac's effort, had a few good touches late and was full of run till the very end
