Autopsy Round 5, 2022: Hawks skin the Cats

[Denver Day Lewis]

That contest in the centre square with 1:30 remaining was extraordinary.

Tuohy kicked it from the boundary from our F50 to the centre square. Shocking decision. Selwood called for it. Terrible call. No mark, Selwood barely left the ground in the marking contest, but both CJ and Scrimshaw let the ball get out the back. Scrimshaw ended up on the ground. No. 45, Close, for the Cats seemed to get two hands on it. Breust had made the contest while Selwood ran ahead looking for a cheap handball. But Scrimshaw Jedi-mind-tricked the ball from Close's hands to Scrim's hands while sitting down. Handballs to Breust. Selwood makes zero effort to chase, Breust gets it forward.

O'Meara can't get his hands on the kick and it bounces back to our D50 where Mitchell makes a contest, Frost does the don't argue, bangs it forward to the centre circle where both Cats players leave their feet and Breust is front and centre.

Every Cat decision in the whole sequence of play was wrong. Badly wrong. We scragged and chased and got our fingertips on it, until we could bang it forward and Lewis was waiting to pounce.

Pure effort. Pure joy.

And so much pleasure in watching an old, ineffective Handbagger outfit play uniquely terrible football to gift us the goal.

You'd have to add Morrison to that mix as well. Best game from him.

Morrison had a couple of moments he’d like back but overall he played a good game. Love that he keeps running and creating options all day.

Nar that was an average for his standard.

[Brishawk]

There were only three hawthorn players that had more disposals than Mitchell had contested possessions

John Ralph just said Hawkins will be fined for his dive.

Credit to Shiels who shut out Dangerfield. Had little impact apart from a few Hollywood moments. Didn't go unnoticed from myself. I also thought the move of CJ onto him when the game was up for grabs was a smart tactical decision. He couldn't either outrun him or outmark him. CJ had him covered which you sensed Danger got frustrated about.

 

[WWSD]

Wingard, Day and Bramble to come back over the next few weeks to add some much needed speed on the flanks.

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

Got to love how we ran at the Cats in the first then were able to do it again in the last against the momentum.
Reckon its their kryponite and other sides will follow suit.

Over the past weeks you can see the high level of fitness is fantastic, with a young very fit team.

Such a contrast. Long may it continue.

 

[Blackhawk42]

What a win.

Chasing a 2 year old around during that final quarter was challenging, but made the victory all the more sweeter knowing I can rewatch it when he goes to bed and see things I probably missed.

Wish I could bottle today's stat line and send it back in time to 2020 Blackhawk42 berating Clarko on here for not playing Dylan Moore

. Boy oh Boy what a player.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Loved CJ's efforts when the game was up for grabs. Well held all day but was involved in everything good we did in the last

 

[Pessimistic]

Frost Bowled him over nose on fist. Frosts nose

Would be well deserved. Oh, and I'm only replying to this so I can give the quote a second thumbs up.

If anyone else would like to add another thumbs up for Jimmy Bartel (but not his wife) that'd be just grand.

Edit: I was stupid enough to think I could like my own internet drivel.

Thought he was fumbling a lot in the 2nd and 3rd qtrs, came back strong in the last and didn't give up. Not his best game

Well spotted. I realise only now that you mention it I barely saw Shiels, but saw even less of Dangerflog.

 

[lethalselbow]

Suck on that, little Kaney. We all know you'll find a way to stick it to Hawthorn and pile hate upon us.

 

[Rich the babe Evans]

Gotta say, props to Isaac Smith in the last 40 seconds of the game, to have the composure to slow the game down with that free kick, to secure the win for the Hawks.

Well played.

Impey was having a chat with him all day, maybe about a comment in 2013?

this is the contest. unreal ey. Looks like Scrim is gonna go through underrated but not by us!!

Great win, I reckon we are better with Reeves not in the ruck. Hope it stays that way.

Loved standing at the HFF screaming hawk fans around the area. That's what its all about

I wonder what that flog will have to say this week.

 

[KermitJagger]

Loved this game, loved the fight back.

I have one issue - ruck infringements. I don't understand them, holding your space is considered blocking and a free against, but Hawkins is lauded for barrelling all his weight into the opposition ruck's back and getting the ball. Make it make sense.

Otherwise - fantastic stuff. Scrimshaw took a lot of risks in that last quarter in leading his man to the football, or leaving his opponent to impact the contest and get the ball back on our terms. I love that confidence all these kids have now to do these things to impact play, even if they're high risk. We're playing such a great uninhibited brand of footy.

These youngsters own their positions now and it shows. No uncertainty, no over coaching.

 

[triangulation_squared]

Huge team effort!! Well done to this team for digging deep and sticking the W!! So many contributors...

 

[Roddy]

John Ralph just said Hawkins will be fined for his dive.

Can the ump be fined too, for getting sucked in to it like a gullible fool please?
