Autopsy Round 18, 2023 : Hawks wallop Roos

[Strapping Young Lad]

Decent result, should’ve been a bigger win.

Overuse and bad kicking made it unwatchable at times.


Go at it.

 

[WWSD]

 

[Max Powers]

This game reminded me of this somewhat.

 

[spudmaster]

 

[WWSD]

Scrimshaw was very good.

 

[peetoo]

So hawks can have maybe 2 more wins and still stay #3

 

[lethalselbow]

Thought Wingard was impressive. Looking like a keeper.

Impressive use of the ball and 3 tackles!! Love it!

Go Chad!!

 

[Max Powers]

As I have stated earlier super impressed with Worpel. Very solid few weeks.

 

[Breustiful]

Felt like we never got out of first gear. Snooze fest.

Frost was phenomenal, has Larkey in his pocket.

Shame that Marvel initially closed over 20 bays on the third level. s**t ground.

 

[Hawks1994]

Yep

 

[KermitJagger]

Not a game I'll watch again, but good to get a win.

Nash becomes a more complete midfielder with every game, absolute gun. Thought our Port contingent in Amon, Wingard and Impey were all great too. Wingard was one of the few people who used the ball properly at half forward. Showing his quality.

 

[Dr.J]

Hard to make any definitive judgements on players given the quality of the opposition
We’ve still got structural issues up forward but when we run and carry we look like a quality outfit

Footnote Sic makes the likes of Scrimshaw and Frost look so much calmer when he’s thinking for them

Not ideal with a 30k crowd. Bigger crowd than against docklands tenants saints and doggies

 

[Glebehawk]

Tough watching first half. We looked good once things opened up. DGB is already looking like our second best KPF, let’s leave him there for a few games. Don’t get playing both Meek and Reeves, they’re both terrible as resting forwards.

 

[cryptor]

Really should have won by 100 given the dominance we held all game.

We’re clearly well ahead of West Coast and North Melbourne but we’re still at the bottom of the middle tier of teams trying to make the 8.

Some exciting stuff from a lot of young players today. Hopefully with this confidence boost we can pick up some of our better form again. There’s plenty of winnable games ahead of us if we play the right way.

 

[NineteenSixtyNine]

Good win all round, good for our confidence, good to beat North, good third qtr dominance and good to see DGB playing.

 

[VandoHawk]

We looked a lot better structured defensively with Sicily in the side.
Midfield smashed North.
Forward entries + conversion remains a worry.
North were very bad. We kicked 3.13, they had 12 frees to 0 in the second, we messed up so many chances and they still didn't make it competitive.

 

[H00t]

Not many highlights today. Got the win and will definitely take it after the year so far.

Lots of players getting into some strong form.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Awful game, worpel was on fire first three quarters and the standout.
Great to see Ward McDonald and Day keep getting the pill and hopefully building a bond for the next decade to be reckoned with.
Breust is incredible how he just keeps scoring!
Still though, need our mids to start scoring more goals. One area I be very critical of if it continues in years to come.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Can’t really complain too much when you win, however that first half, and especially the forward line was really frustrating. Game should have been done and dusted at 1/4 time.
Thought worps was best on for us by a mile.

Sloppy skills hurt us, we were lucky we played a team whose skills were as bad as ours. Lots of work to be done.

 

[lethalselbow]

Not ideal with a 30k crowd

Thank goodness we don't have to play at Docklands again....

Apart from a home game?? against St Kilda in two weeks.

 

[HairyO]

Frost made zero errors and kept Larkey to one goal. One of his best games.

Amon was fantastic. Worpel dominated in the middle. Weddle is like a young colt - explosive power and still learning how to use his body.

Sicily quiet but only a handful of Roos I50s making it hard for him to get a lot of the ball.

 

[Bugs1977]

After watching that mess it's so clear how badly we need another big marking target up front with Mitch (Caddy?). Also need a dynamic avenue to goal up front too (Watson?). Assume one of either will be there so you just take who's left over but the question is what if both are there who do you take?

Anyways I tip my hat to Worps, Amon, CMac and Scrim today. Also didn't mind Weddle either but with how ugly the game was it's hard to tell who really play good or was just made to look good because how bad North are.

 

[H00t]

Also what’s the record for the most amount of handballs in a quarter without kicking the ball. Duke’s last quarter would be in the top couple of not clear number 1. 11 disposals, 11 handballs in the last quarter.

 

[theiaofseed]

MacDonald, Ward, Newcombe, Day and Weddle that's a handy group of young players to have at the start of your rebuild.
