Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 4 - Cats v Hawks Mon April 10th 3:20pm AEST (MCG)

[Black Saab]

Yeah 3 posters, a couple where we overpossessed the ball a bit etc. Stengle got caught a couple of times.

My opinion doesn’t really change from this game:

I don’t think we’ll be contending to win the comp, think we will probably be mid-table, but have the game to smash a good side periodically.

Remember too - albeit aided by some incredible accuracy - Ollie Henry was running into an open goal to put us 27 points up nearing 3qt against the Pies in round one. It’s not like we haven’t played SOME decent footy this year, but our bad footy has been SO bad that it’s laughable. The first quarter today was a good example

Early days. Cats clicked after half time. Could be the start of something or it might be as you say.

I'd imagine they should beat the Eagles next week and that sets up a pretty interesting GF rematch the round after.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Why not?
Sam Mitchell saw the Harley Reid video on YouTube and dumped a bunch of senior players to make sure he got him.

Looks like tanking, and I've seen plenty of tanking before, my word.

Hawthorn are doing a tank, clear as day.

Haha righto

So many of you out there are genuinely furious that Hawthorn might get Reid. Nobody is cracking the sads that the Weagles or North might get him.

Its sweet really.

David King talking s**t about Jiath’s game and whether he’d be playing if there was selection integrity. Are you kidding me? He’s one of the only ones I saw giving effort for almost a full 4 quarters.

Does Kingy have a previous issue with Jiath or something?

Weagles and North didn't exchange Brownlow Medalists for peanuts so their team could get pumped every week.

King is a clown. He gets an idea in his head and runs with it, whether it is true or not.

Stop it, you're making me blush.

That’s the test. 3-3 with 1 win against a moderately credible opponent would at least give us a base to start from.

Thoughts on your ruckman’s technique Hawks fans?

And no I don’t think he’s dirty or doing it deliberately etc

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Does Scott buy into the bullshit that he comes up with?

This presser is a whinge fest

 

[MisterB]

Who on earth wastes valuable minutes of their life tuning in to a coach's press conference? You never hear anything insightful nor truthful.

The old "Sam Mitchell Knee" tactic.

Thoughtful and intelligent commentator on the game- week in, week out.

Seems to the moment it sparked Geelong into action.

Kness to the ribs should be suspended as should’ve T. De koning against Stanley!

 

[Quested]

Whatever was paid for Cameron still = an absolute bargain. Amazing player, fantastic to watch.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Credit to Geelong for a great second half. Absolutely smashed us. Hawks didn’t squawk after half time.

Thoughts on all Geelong players running head on into contests without bothering to contest?
The issue was blicavs not making a play for the ball and instead planting himself in meets running lane - it's a block that gets called against everyone else

Looks like something they'd post in dead seriousness on the Richmond board.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Jeremy Cameron is the best player in the league. Not even close. He is a stratosphere ahead of the next best

Yep. How he didn't win the MVP last year is still a mystery..

Think again.

Yeh well Harley Reid is ours!

You still won't finish last. That's the Eagles.

 

[My Tilly]

If Ratugolea wasn't playing this might already be a 5 goal lead for Hawthorn.

Unfairly scrutinized is Ratugolea.
He is beginning to show signs he may make the grade after all. Not sure you can teach a player the simple nuances of the game such as predicting the bounce of the ball, leaving your opponent to impact the play but he will progress better with De Koning & Henry back in the line up.

Disagree. No football nous. And kicks 50 up in the air and 40 to a contest.

They'll go the local boy in Curtin.
