Autopsy Round 18, 2023 : Hawks wallop Roos

[kirbatron]

cmac put put the jets on & has a gear I didn't know about.. like.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Why do I have this feeling that C-Mac is going to be one of the best players In the comp in 2-3 years?

Could be the hair, he zigs one way, the hair zags the the other way.

 

[peetoo]

Id rather he have a shot from 50m than try to find a team mate with 16 opposition players inside our forward fifty. Its a massive advantage to have that length and we should exploit it.

I’ve always always thought that, especially at marvel

 

[kenneje]

His going to be huge next year, will be a monster for us forward and midfield in the future.

Professional kid

Agreed. We have a clear senior midfield quartet at the moment - Worpel, Nash, Day and Newcombe.

But that group underneath - Ward, MacDonald, Mackenzie - who have played very little footy are ridiculously exciting. Think all three are going to be top line midfielders.

On the North side of things, looks like Wardlaw pinged a hammy. Great young player but those hamstrings are a worry.

They should pop him away now for next year . Give the kid a run at a full tilt preseason. He looks the goods, wish him well.

I like how C-Mac is tracking it was a good move to switch him to half forward while we expose a few new players in the center square rotation.

I think the next evolution is getting him back in square with another line breaker hopefully we pick up in either the draft or free agency!

When it all clicks being optimistic we jump the 7th -14th log jam in the comp.

Cmac31 had 27 and kicked a goal.
2nd year player flying right under the radar. Media don't even mention him.
If he played for the Dons we'd never hear the end of it.

Since he had that spell at Box Hill he's come back a more complete player.
Kudos to the kid for taking on board what to fix in his game and putting it into action.

Next test for him will be when opposition pay him a bit more attention.

I hope it is so we can play DGB forward next week. We are desperate for forwards.

Or we can hope he is not injured and DGB plays instead of him.

 

[Topiary]

Can’t wait to see Weddle given full license to ping them from outside 50. We’re lacking another tall threat to be finessing our entries and aside from those times when Bruest turns the clock back, we’re a Wizard shy of being a threat off the deck. Long range scoring capacity is there with the likes of Weddle, Amon and Impey.

To compete for finals, let alone silverware, we have to have some structure forward. Watson and a player like Ricardi we are desperate for. Add a Duursma or Curtin and we are much better. Assuming Mitch Lewis is better.

CMac likes playing at Marvel.

Lock it in for the rest of the year

He brings a great energy to the forward half, stoke the fire Sam

I don’t like taking pot shots at young players but Reeves is lucky he is seven foot tall and can tap it in the ruck because he isn’t much good at the rest of the game.

Well, isn't he lucky that is what we want him to do?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Brocky was disappointing I thought, laid 5 tackles but there some times when could have pressured or chased but didn’t.

He had more pressure acts(25) then any other Hawk, btw.

 

[ahhhhhh]

What are your thoughts on Meek then?

 

[kenneje]

My partner is going through ECT treatment at the moment. Turned to me at half time and said 'at least I won't remember this tomorrow'

Original post is original.

It's funny cause I have been critical of his pressure and tackling but this year he has been good and today he was excellent.

Did multiple long chases that were exceptional today and helped win is back the ball.

Fox Footy having the camera cut to the commentary team using binoculars - whilst blatantly not calling the game from the ground - was incredible.

 

[WWSD]

Hawthorn has won 4 of the last 5 games that Sicily has played in.

They call the games in Melbourne from the ground

 

[almuz]

Jeez the North board is depressing

We still need more talent, class and system inside 50 but glad we were able to put this mob to the sword somewhat

Eh watch them perk up at preseason.

North players magically get better the less games they play.

Still remember them talking about Charlie Comben with 0 games to his name like he's the second coming of Carey.

I can't decide if it's a relief or not.

I'm glad it's not being faked but if it's not being called from screens, what's the excuse for Kelly's commentary always being 3 players behind where the ball is?
