Autopsy Round 9, 2024: Hawthorn v St.Kilda

[hayes]

We lost the game but we won the marks by 40+ so that’s a plus.

 

[Max the great]

Wish the AFL would fold this club or merge us. Put us out of our misery. Soul less weak football club

Honestly better we finish in the bottom 4 this season, we need to hit the draft in the top 5 range to have any hope of building for the future. I think we have a solid young core now, but it won't be enough without nailing a few more high draft picks.

I really don't want to finish in the 10-12 range, worst place we could possibly finish.

Also think we are playing way too defensive, not sure this type of game style will take us anywhere

 

[Miha]

PUTRID. Lyon is taking us nowhere. Shameful the lot of them. 16th will do us but I’d rather fold

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Monty would have made a pod

 

[westernsainter]

We are simply a bottom six team this year. Hastie and Garcia both not ready. I'd love to see Dow and Jones back in next week, both proven AFL level players.

Truly a putrid game of footy.

 

[wannabewinner]

Oh well. It's a close loss.

Missed Higgins/Butler.

Excited to see Battle up forward. He should be given more opportunities there.

Harvey is not a path-breaking forwards coach, unfortunately. He needs to grab some angry pills and make changes.

 

[austinnn]

I want my money back. This is pathetic. Inexcusable. Inept. Every single player and coach should hang their head. This was winnable even to the last minute, and they just didn't make the effort. I thought effort was a prerequisite but you can't tell me there was any genuine desire to win the game from anyone from our club.

Shocking way to represent a club, and whenever the club wonders why their membership and attendance are so low they should be forced to watch this replay.

 

[sauce_head]

Impotent forward line. Just don’t get it that we can be that bad.

 

[Michael Scarn]

We gave away plenty of free kicks in that last quarter, and most of them were there. BUT we got none going the other way. the inconsistency of umpiring was an utter joke. It 100% influenced the result in that last quarter and was a disgrace.

We were not the better side and deserved to lose. we got bullied around by a team that's trying to tank. it's a low point for me as a supporter. I just donlt know anymore.

 

[denisp]

How's the draft looking?

It doesnt matter who we get - hawthorns kids are at a successful club - draw the short straw getting drafted by us

 

[mad-saint-guy]

I'm actually glad that we didn't win that because it would have papered over the cracks. Season is over, time to blood the kids. For the love of god we need to stop playing Seb. Let's get Shoey and Collard into the team for the rest of the year.

The amount of goals that we have kicked this year is absolutely appalling and I'm starting to think that Lyon may be a relic of a bygone era.

 

[ULTIMATE_WARRIOR]

It’s not on King because it was a hell of an effort that last marking attempt. But it just sums up him and essentially our whole existence as just an almost player/club

 

[Saintbloke]

I think Owens will join Pou at Sandy along with Henry. Looks like whatever worked for Lyon in 2010 doesn't apply to 2024's type of game. Ring up Ratts please Bassat

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Same old shit St kilda.

Time for the board to be sacked.

RTB isn't working. Own the stuff up and and resign

 

[Max the great]

I hate how from the first play of the game you just knew we weren't here to play, weren't here to get involved and just looked like s**t.

Pathetic on-field leadership, pathetic midfield performnace again. I can't believe I sacrificed 2 hours of my life to watch that ******* vomit inducing s**t.

We are seriously cooked as a list there's just so many holes that we fill with half and half role players and it's been that way for years.

Yep Steele tries hard and is a decent footballer but he's probably the worst captain we've ever had.

This is very true. Probably 8-10 dodgy calls going their way throughout the game with no more than 2 in our favour

 

[Jade Buddha]

You really have to question what we are trying to do. Currently it’s very very ploddy unwatchable crap.
King, Owens, Membrey in the forward line are so poorly out of form.
Can we please look at the midfield Ross, it stinks.

 

[The Slug]

Shameful effort. Hawks didn't do anything just hung on knowing we weren't a danger.

 

[DougalHoward]

If Pou played he could have done something in the last quarter

 

[Michael Scarn]

Webster makes mistakes. that is all he does.

 

[hayes]

In all seriousness at least we’ll get what we need. You can’t rebuild by avoiding the top 5 in the draft.

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Clear Lyon has no idea what he’s doing. Same script every game then shakes the magnet board to see if something else works.
Players look uninterested. Nice of them to turn up and collect the paycheck.

Henry is just Billings
Owens dying in the forward line
Hayes isn’t a ruck and isn’t the answer
King looks like he wants to retire
Sebs skyballs taking us no where
Membrey was playing?
No one can kick straight for goal
No one can get a ground ball

Let’s leave battle forward bring arie in to his position.

[Strahany]

Look on the bright side

When Battle inevitably leaves this rabble in Free Agency, we’ll end up with pick 2 and 3
