Autopsy Round 9, 2024 : Hawks slap the Saints

[The hands of stone]

Breust’s tackle at the death inside their f50 sums up how good a team performance that was. When’s the last time we won without both Sic and Mitch?

Huge win without Sicily

Big shout out to Frosty.
Showed really good leadership and played another fine game.

Hats off the Frosty- he’s had an incredible season so far…

 

[extractasam]

Just don’t get why Ross refuses to back his players in to play a style that can actually win. Not the most talented list for sure but come on.

Very difficult watch today, stoked they didn’t switch off the boys

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Credit to Impey for having another quality game. He's back to his best pre-injury form.

Also, despite that shocking miss Ginnivan had a good game, he was still our 5th highest possession getter for the day. He is working hard up the ground and still having an impact even if he's not kicking multiple goals a game.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Most of his touches were just taking it out of the ruck and scrapping it forward. He played well but not sure those touches actually helped the saints.

If anyone can find me a better ruck battle this season I'd love to hear about it.

The Ross Lyon Game Plan = Don't Lose

It's strange given he has a great ruckman, one of the best contested midfielders in the league, multiple Rolls Royce movers on the outside and a nice set of KPP at his disposal.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

I hope Goddard enjoyed yet another A grade performance from the Jet from Poowong. Especially as opposition midfield coach. I take it he didn’t as he decided it was time to clamp down on the Jet in the 4th with a close tag.

2 weeks in a row Meek has stood up against two of the premier rucks.

Poor Rossy

Agreed it was like the 80s all over again with two big men just slogging it out.
Loved it. Meek was superb and so was Marshall.

New ruck interpretation has made him a beast. He no longer fears giving away a free and is now hitting contests hard as a result

Our forward line and backline are doing remarkably well for the gaps we have from injury. If only our midfield could manage to have everyone consistently better, we tend to have one fire on all cylinders and the others fall off a bit.

Hopefully he eats some J.Sweets next week

Hehe, must be a pretty crappy game plan then!

I thought our forwards over complicated some of our forward 50 work. Sometimes being selfish is in the best interest of the team as we can be exposed on turn over if we a trying to create something that’s not on.

I agree I'd like us to be more selfish but I understand why they're trying to play in a way that will be better when we're at full strength.

Easier to be selfish after you've learnt to be selfless than vice versa.

Brownlow Smokey get on him .

 

[Darwin_Hawk]

I was concerned when I heard Scrimmer was injured at 3/4 time. Would have wrecked the backline, but Diima came back to help too.

Good win. Was always on the cards at York Park, the fortress.

Saints like Sneddon, pretend to acheive.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Same old Ross Lyon defensive gameplan that never stood up back then and still doesn’t stand up now…

How he got another job after his epic cockup of the Luke Ball situation I'll never know

 

[Darwin_Hawk]

And once again, a four-quarter performance!

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Crazy Ross whinging he can’t use the runner more.
Kick more goals then you twit.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

We had no right to win.

So young and inexperienced - coming off a really hard game last week. Missing all the KP players.

No chance. Brownlow always goes to a mid-fielder or forward. Defenders need a lot more love for the work they do. Meek has gone to next level this year, Reeves has to do the same (which he has been doing until he go his hand injury).

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Undefeated….in May.
Considering cancelling my September holidays

Gutsy win, wa gain the young guys stood up, as did our senior players.
Similar to last week, we allowed the other side to stay in it by not finishing when we needed too (that’s you Ginni). But work rate got us across the line. We simply outworked them

Len Thompson , Gary Dempsey , Graham Teasdale , Barry Round , Graham Moss , Scott Wynd , Peter Moore would all beg to differ, but yeah tongue in cheek comment, love the way he’s going about it though seems like a genuine guy too hope he continues to improve.
