Autopsy Hawks vs Pies and the tribute to Phil Walsh

[StevenwellerHFC]

Proud of the Hawks tonight. Wasn't pretty but we got the job done.

Oh and Cyril is a star.

 

[WWSD]

Liam Shiels form has been sublime. Just keeps better and better. Another great performance.

29 disposals, 4 marks, 6 tackles, 8 score involvements, 2 goals

Hey, no pr0n please!

This is a family thread

[Ned Ryerson]

Jesus that was spine tingling just then. God I love Clarko.

 

[MadDawg]

The selection policy of 'Clarko's Favourites' threatens to submarine our season.

Too many players who play in a manner knowing they are assured of a game next week.

 

[WWSD]

Spangher + MCG = Winning!

 

[Off The Couch]

That was deadset amazing - so proud of the pies and Hawks with that mark of respect

Yep, Mitch was terrible.

Rioli was immense as were Lewis and Mitch. Shiels continues to grow and thought Langford really ripped in. Burgoyne was class when it counted.

Good to win a close one finally.

 

[seysearles]

Icing on the cake is forcing Collingwood to hug the victorious Hawks players and hang their heads humbly after getting beaten.

 

[MinerBoy]

Hey, we won a close one. Might have just found that bit of fight we've felt lacking this year.

No Rough, no Frawley. I said before the game any win would be good in the circumstances.

I'll stick by that. Pies are no chumps and pressure the s**t out of you. Add that to some *questionable* officiating and I'll take that and run.

Cyril super, Breust good, Lewis back to some good form, Gunston weird, Shiels solid again.

We're only just hanging on but we're still a sniff. Keep hanging in boys.... if it clicks....

 

[Bedi]

Pretty powerful moment. Great gesture by both clubs. Good on ya Clarko for initiating that

 

[James Colorado]

What the players and coaches just did is the most touching thing I've ever seen on a football field. The game is such a big part of our lives, but its not life. What we have with each other is, though.

RIP Phil Walsh.

 

[WWSD]

Brad Hill's second half was really good.

 

[Gunstall555]

5 yabby's for Rioli one for each goal.

I'm gonna let the umpire crap go, it is just a game. Well done boys.

I just love that pic.

 

[Procrastinator35]

SIZZLE....Apparently AFL coaches think Shane Edwards is a better footballer!.....LOL

 

[glenferry23]

Rioli immense.

Hill also excellent in key moments and very impressed with Shoey. Did some very good things and contested time after time.

Lovely scenes post match. Much respect to both clubs and players for that compassion.

 

[KOLOKOTRONIS]

We have not won those all year. I was convinced we would drop it in light of our form. We haven't been good against contenders this year. Collingwood choked mentally much like we used to against Geelong.

We were really challenged and pulled it off. A massive effort tonight.

Need to bring much more against Fremantle to have a chance of victory.

Next...

Really nice display from both teams after the game there, hopefully the other clubs can do likewise this weekend.

 

[Hodgey 15]

That was just a brilliant gesture.
I love my Hawks but man I love being an aussie following this great game that has the greatest people involved in it.
Vale Phil Walsh

Hawthorn in the white trunks. Rope a Dope lesson 1.

[Blaze Storm]

I'm converted on Bucks. He's got my respect for sure. His talk after the game, seemed to be saying "You see that? You played well, you lost, but life goes on. See the spirit of the game? Thanking luck you're still here to see another day? That's what is REAL."

 

[MinerBoy]

Yep, Mitch was terrible.

And Cyril did nothing last week and waltzes back in the team. Just like the bloody GF last year.

 

[Max Powers]

Very respectful and powerful tribute to Phil Walsh after the game, good on Hawthorn and Collingwood
