Autopsy Round 19, 2023 : Hawks can’t get it done against Tigers

[Stevie80]

I’m ok with that. Secured 16 spot irrespective of the outcome.

Great first 3 quarters which is a great sign for the future and heaps of positives to take out of it.

Great reality check in the last and heaps that they can learn from so they don’t get too far ahead of themselves.

 

[Dragz]

But look at Essendon falling down the ladder even further after that result.
Every cloud etc etc

 

[smeltitdeltit]

Weddle stopped and watched there too. He would have easily been first to the ball.

That was the play that cost the game right there.

 

[Paul Kersey]

No-one cares about your gambling habits. You make s**t bets, that's on you.

Yeah was gonna say. Beggars belief.

 

[TylerDurden]

Absolutely stings.

But kicking 0 goals in the last is asking for trouble.

DGB 0 touches in a half. Pls.
We need a 2nd tall fwd for next week. Pick Ryan/ Ramma or Kosi. I don't give a fk. But all of the last quarter we kicked to Balta or Broad. That was the ball game.

 

[almuz]

When we can get 75% of our side above 50 games we'll be quite a fun side to watch. Saw glimpses today of a side that will punish their opponents, but a very disappointing fade out.

That’s all the reason for optimism I need.

We’ll roll teams like this next season

 

[TylerDurden]

My 7 year old son in tears at the ground. At least he's learning how to lose as a kid.

 

[Mr Lizard]

hahaha yes Damo! we tanked!

pick 3 for us, not for you!



hmmm...nope, didn't work. stupid one point loss.

 

[B&GBlood]

That was a tale of youth in the last. They will learn from it. We were out run in the last.

 

[peetoo]

Pathetic, heartless, insipid.
Would've been better to put 22 witches hats out there in the last

They went OK, but terrible high balls int f50 all quarter

We had it anyway. We would need 3 from tge last 6 and Freo to lose all 6.

We should have kept attacking but just been even slightly sensible.

 

[matey]

Wasn’t nice live listening to the feral Tigers supporters at the final siren but you could definitely notice that panic set in and lack of experience was a factor in the last quarter. To have a solid lead and then give it away with all that noise at the G our youngsters will benefit/gain some big takeaways on how to handle it better next time.

Our young midfield pantsed Tirranto, Prestia, Hopper for the majority of the game ……. they will dominate in a year or two

 

[WWSD]

I think Ryan needs to come under consideration now. Lewis is running himself into the ground.

 

[Kuuz]

Could not care less about results this year and more about the performance.

Boys played a great game until the final quarter. Final quarter fall apart will be a great learning tool and will definitely drive a rocket up a few who were not running hard enough, for long enough.

Those types of experiences are invaluable to a young, growing team. Plus you compare the average age difference and it’s a good end nonetheless.

We win those next year with another 12 months under our belt.

 

[grumbleguts]

Yes lets celebrate a s**t awful effort.

Breust had 30 seconds to do a set shot from in front of goal but instead rushes a left foot snap. They get a goal.

Brockman had the ball 60m out and instead of steadying and finding a safe teammate he rushes the ball to the middle missing everything and they get a goal.

Their kid in his 1st game had way more composure.

Did you want me to pick your teddy up and put it back in your cot?

This loss still doesn't hurt half as much as watching Isaac Smith

lining up for goal for Geelong vs the Lions

Sorry I should celebrate mediocrity. Thats how teams get better.

Yeah the vibe at the ground was rough late in the game

Compared with say a close loss to Geelong, a lot less gracious and a lot more feral

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

We would have won if Cam Mackenzie was there. He is a good luck charm. But look, in my opinion, it speaks volumes about the talent we have to even be in the position we were in at 3QT. It's just too bad that Richmond will always be our kryptonite team. It would have been a good morale booster for the side, but this is life. I'm just looking forward to seeing another elite youngster, as well as Will McCabe, come through our doors come November.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Our strength seemingly became our weakness as the game rolled on. We had three proper inside mids in Newcombe, Worps and Nash doing most of the heavy lifting but run out of steam towards the end of the third , to theirs six start up mids in Taranto Hopper Bolton Dusty Prestia and Cochin. Lot of experience there. Ward and Day didn't have great games either so getting run over the top was on the cards. But Gee, I wanna stop losing to these pricks. Starting to become their bunnies. Hopefully we play out the season strongly .

 

[Mitchell Madness]

I think Ryan needs to come under consideration now. Lewis is running himself into the ground.

Lewis is not a full forward. He does his best work running up the ground and leading. He goes to water when in a contest.

Ryan has been very good in the contest at vfl level all year

Starting to become their bunnies? We've been their bunnies for almost 20 years!

 

[grumbleguts]

So you think we were tanking?

I wouldn't bother, he thinks Nash has "never ever kicked a goal from a set shot" despite 30% of his goals from his first two seasons were from set shots.

 

[hebog]

A big thank you to Luke Breust for literally costing me $1400! Please this is not Gaelic football or a round ball. Go back to kicking a drop punt from 30 metres out in front and not lazy, arrogant rubbish; as defies belief. I said to a mate at the time I hope that doesnt comeback to haunt us and yep it did not to mention a couple of pathetic non chases in the dying minutes makes my blood boil. Not the sort of efforts you want from a so called leader. The mid-field building nicely so I think we really need a another big key forward to help Mitch and can take a mark or bring it to ground; another tall back would be nice too..

It only cost me a footy tip.

haha! Give no dinner and make him do extra laps in the morning!
