Autopsy Round 8, 2024 : Hawks leash the Dogs

[NewkTheLot]

How good. Have to go and watch the replay with a normal heart rate now

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Best game at the Hawks from Jars. Was magnificent!!

 

[kenneje]

That win is borne of pure, unrelenting EFFORT

Only need to look at the top runners of the game, and it’s all brown and gold!

That's ****ing insane. Sam Mitchells blueprint right there.

Wait til we have a full team available

This is the first game in years the leaders have stepped up, not the kids.
We have been bullied all year (even north bullied us), the leaders stepped up and threw their weight around to let the kids play their game. Even gunston - I've been critical of him not being an onfield coach given he's slowing down. Today he actually led, got the players making space, pushing up to be an option etc. His leadership impacted that game

Calsh Dear - needs to be in for the year. He hits the ball at the right spot (not overrunning it in flight). He also makes leads, which our forwards haven't done for years. Leads lead to frees (which he got for his second)

Meek is arguably our MVP this year. He's providing grunt in the middle. A few bruises to the oppo ruck and suddenly they aren't being a loose man for the rushed kick

Sicily - good to see him show some emotion after the game, clearly meant a lot to him

Scrimmers should never be out of the side again.

Super brave and awesome win by the Mighty Hawks

D'Ambrosio injured? Spent the last 22 minutes on the bench.

Saw him get a touch in the last minute...

 

[SpanishBrowne]

solid 4 quarter performance from pretty much everyone, even with depleted list, and being totally cooked in the 4th (when they could've lowered their heads after dogs took lead again). just kept going!

 

[Jethro!]

Should've been percentage booster... /s

Loved our fightback and grit at the end there. Played tough

 

[Stottzy]

Sicily with an old school captains game today. Stuffed shoulder, came back on, still competed, kicked a goal when we needed it. Inspiring effort!

 

[SSSSSS]

Wiz missed a sitter but his pressure on the wing in a 2 on 1 which he equalised was elite.

If he doesn't break even in that contest there they rebound and we would have been toast.

Get around him he's special. Once he starts hitting it through the middle he's going to be smashing it.

2 scoring shots as a small forward in a quarter and bit of footy is elite.

 

[triangulation_squared]

Pumped. Simply pumped.

Everyone else who has been mentioned.
CMac was great today.

Calsher gets the contest. Love it.

Winning the tight ones is culture.

 

[PlayHard]

Great win with the battered and bruised skipper leading by example. Really like the way Meek goes about it, sure he may not be the most skilled player but you can't fault him for effort.

Scoreline flattered the dogs and we really should have won by more.

 

[Hawkers88]

So happy with the effort and Dear! He looks like a great find.

 

[Hawk Vision]

They played for Calsher and Paul today…all heart…****ing epic

 

[Hawkers88]

So happy with the effort and Dear! He looks like a great find.

Well, I thought I'd pop on here early. Nup, 8 pages already
So proud of the team.
We can see the potential when we play like this. So much to like.
Calsher Dear is such a great story. Could have debuted with 3 or 4 goals, had 4 tackles and just kept presenting. Well done young fella.

 

[extractasam]

Was genuinely so flat coming into this week, so stoked to be wrong.

Ride the bumps with a grin

 

[Stottzy]

Meek is the most improved player in the comp. Terrific battle vs the AA ruckman.

 

[Mrzohs]

D.Moore - is a star does all the grunt work.
Meek- Gets better and better. Just broke even with one of the best rucks in the game.
Impey - Great game.
C.Dear - solid debut, what we need.

 

[cryptor]

A very well deserved win.

Dogs challenged us hard in the last quarter and we arrested the momentum twice and played it really smart to close the game out in the death. Terrific growth from the team.

Fantastic captain's game from Sicily. Put his body on the line constantly and definitely paid the price, and you could see how it lifted all his teammates to see him do it. Not the best look with his tantrum about Watson missing that certain sealer, but I can't say I wouldn't have let my frustration boil over if I was in his shoes.
