Autopsy Hawks vs The Party Pies...cold and soggy.

[Hawkas1988]

My guess was 48,954. Must've been "closest to the pin", as the actual crowd number was 48,973!

Have absolutely no idea what I've won though!

10 minutes in the dark closet with Hodgepodge

Missed the game, though I did catch the post match comments when I got home. I was very, very put off by Harley's massive praise of us. Is the apocalypse coming?

 

[WWSD]

We finish off the home and away season as the only top eight team that didn't lose any games to a bottom eight side.

When I recognised your name up on the screen I yelled out "I know her!!"

No one cared. I was also quite drunk so didn't realise no one would lol.

Congrats though!

Shame it doesn't include a couple of hundred dollars worth of vouchers which can be used to purchase finals tickets!

Geez that reporters joke about Gunston in the presser went down like a lead balloon...

[WWSD]

Jarryd Roughead 62 (3.1 goals per game)
Luke Breust 53 (2.40 goals per game)
Jack Gunston 51 (2.55 goals per game)

Great to have three players who have kicked over 50 goals this season. If not for those two game suspension Roughead would of won the Coleman medal.

Apparently that's only the 3rd time in history that's happened.

Anyone think Gibson is in trouble for the trip?
Has 70 carry over points so even the lowest charge would see him miss a week.
Dumb thing to do, 10 goals up with 7 min to go.

Didn't even see the trip this is the first I've heard about it. Haw bad was it?

 

[big footy cyril]

Worried about Lake. I think he is downplaying the injury. Clearly pointing to the groin. Would be catastrophic to lose him

I shared the concern but was glad to see him icing the outside of his leg corkie style. Fingers crossed

No. I was a legit tackle attempt that slipped low.

 

[threesixpio]

that was so *ingg lame. he needs to be shown the door NOW...

I sorta wanted clarko to rip him a new one, but more respect for biting his tongue and just saying yeah ok fckwit and walking away...

Were they work experience guys or something? I actually mean that question

What's awesome about it is that is a direct overwhelming response to Buddy leaving

 

[threesixpio]

I'm struggling with the idea that some think billy would go ahead of simpkin as the sub in a preliminary final. He came on in the third quarter of a game that was shot and played at half the pace and intensity of a final - you guys are dreaming

I'm pretty convinced on Simpkin as a sub pending what happens with Rioli

 

[apiro]

What sort of win would it take by Richmond to send us top?

4 goals ought to do it. Shame we didn't get these last night as then any win by the Tiges would have propelled us to minor premiers.

Please excuse the intrusion.

Just want to say well done.

And thankYOU, your players were amazing at the end, didn't rub our kids noses in it, and the classy heartfelt send off your team gave our Luke Ball was much appreciated.

I stayed to the end, to cheer off our hero, and even though the game was truly over 10 min before half time, there was none of the shitty stuff you see with teams like the cats, who even when thrashing virtually a VFL side, will really rub it it.

Good luck for the finals.

For me, Freo is the less painful option usually, but this year I figure if you guys go back to back, it will shut down those God awful cats fans, once and for all, and stick it up the AFL affiliated swans team! The only downer is my bandwagon hawks fan sister, but I can let that slide! So, good luck, thankYOU, and see you next year

Go Pies xx

Being hit by so many injuries has an upside. Your young blokes got exposure and after another preseason will go up a notch. At the Hawks some of our young blokes have progressed very nicely under Hodge, Mitchell etc

You have plenty of similarly talented types at your club so who knows how your young players will go next year.

Good luck next year and thanks for the post

Cheers mate,

 

[Jones Boy]

Really? I wouldn't say it is that clear cut. He is handy around goal but that's about it.

Very slow decision making tonight in the main . . .

 

[Jones Boy]

Our crappy first quarters/half are starting to worry me. Won't get away playing like that in the big time.

Just tried to be to cute and overused the pill. Pies pressured the ball carrier and receiver but couldn't keep it up.

 

[grumbleguts]

Wow, amazingly well spirited comments from pies supporters in this thread.

A few comments. Why are people praising spangher's overexuberance in contests, it's TOO much. He goes for the ball with way too much gusto, misses it because his hands can't cash the cheques his heart writes, leaving his direct opponent with the ball and free space while he picks himself up off the ground. He will be a force to be reckoned with when he works out what he can do and what he can't do.

Hartung, 50 dt points in a quarter of football, for a first year player is an astounding effort regardless of the quality of the opposition or the state of the game. His goal was a tiny glimpse into the future and one needed some serious eye wear it was so bright.

Schoenmakers was much better before his knee went and was showing signs of the player he would have become. Now he is struggling to become any player.

The three forwards kicking 50 goals is awesome, we have managed it at least twice before, but on the other two occasions we needed a finals series to get there.
1977 Hudson 110, Matthews 91, Hendrie 52
1984 Matthews 77, Judge 63, Brereton 50

I think Sewell still has something to offer. His goal last week against geelong was pure experience.

And the Pies youngsters will be better for that experience, too.
