Autopsy Round 5, 2022: Hawks skin the Cats

[OnWardnUpWard]

Mitchell was unbelievable in the second half.

Sicily and Nuke unbelievable all game.

Missed out on $4.5k multi payout because of total points leg. Not even salty about that. Priceless win.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Have to say Jaeger played Stewart very well in that last quarter, great team game from him.

 

[hawkheart]

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

Way, way, waaaayyyy past.

 

[MightyHawks86]

These games continue to be a part of my defiance of the statistics in being a 35yr-old heart attack victim.

So proud of the boys. Sam's building something, and we get to get in on the ground floor. So happy to be a hawks fan right now!

Best resurrection since....

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

Kid was all class in the last. I thought his disposal was really solid in the end and looked like he had a dry footy whilst everyone else was working with a wet one.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

And he wonders why opposition supporters hate him.

 

[MightyHawks86]

Found some footage of Cats chatting to the umps after the game. Rest of the footy world behind them.

Way, way, waaaayyyy past.

Maybe he has. But I’ll give applause to Worpels response today. Has a better game this week than last within 2 minutes of being on the field, and played a solid, 3-quarter game

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

This is what passes for umpiring these days.

Yay umpires.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Glad you beat not only the cats but AFL house.

Worpel took a step in the right direction today. Was fired up and did some nice things.

Needs to build on it.

 

[rockin ronnie]

So happy that some of the players who struggled with fumbles and errors in the second and third (Cmac, Morrison, DGB) all had some really important moments in the last.

The growth in matches like this is the reason why we won’t be rebuilding for long.

Also love Ward’s balance and composure at the contest. Is extremely clever not to give away frees but still have an impact. Something that our previous midfield have struggled with.

I know he's a bit of a meme, but Frosty has been playing at an 8/10 + level the whole year.

 

[GOHORCS]

Voted Kosi for MVP. Newcombe was best on without doubt but Kosi allowed himself Nash and Newc to compete against the big bodies all over the ground.

So many incredible efforts today against the Corio senior citizens.

Was told I was as excited as a little kid, as a 49yo.
Couldn't be prouder or happier.

Just looking at the stats, yet again I am having my mind boggled by Moore's: 19 disp, 6 tackles, 4.1.

And Sis took 15 MARKS!!!!

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

That kick from Frost with one hand out to stop the tackle was a bit good

How good.

In fact, our whole game was a bit of a don't argue. We sat those old men on their arses.

 

[JaegarTime]

What a f****** win!!!!

Tom Mitchell’s second half but especially final quarter was absolutely amazing. The power just to will himself to clear the ball time and time again.

That was a special one.

 

[Dr.J]

Missing Bramble, Day, Wingard and McEvoy - All in our best 22

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Ive had too many heartbreaks vs Geelong. Was convinced we'd lose. Hawkins was threatening to break the game open, and Frost was lost. But he was brilliant in the last.

Again, the kids are doing the bulk of the heavy lifting which is what I'm loving.

The Reeves injury sapped our confidence, we were flat for a good quarter and a half. We'd normally be run over (maybe we were, but bad kicking is bad footy geelong)

Spent the middle quarters with the old bomb to Geelong. Thankfully, we went back to the Mitchell gameplan of using our running as a weapon.

If newk doesn't get the rising star nomination, the selectors can GAGF

 

[Judd2Sewell]

How good is footy

I know he's a bit of a meme, but Frosty has been playing at an 8/10 + level the whole year.

Really tried to give him votes in the Yabby but just felt there were few ahead of him. Has been great this year.

 

[rei154]

Felt like Ward had a really solid game for us. Has looked shaky at times and looked shaky at times today, but he's looking more solid more consistently.
I can see him being a massive improver as the season goes on and looking into 2023

I thought the weather was going to **** with our skills and be a major issue - it sure looked like it in the 3rd quarter.

But lol, Mitchell just said **** this, threw the team on his shoulder and showed the world why he is a brownlow winning midfielder. Still gasping at how clean he was in those last 15 minutes.

I’ve loved Frosty this year too
