Autopsy Round 8, 2024 : Hawks leash the Dogs

Mitchell Madness
Your Game Day Thread posting is atrocious & you should feel bad.

Take a week.

 

[Spudwick]

Fantastic hard fought win by the lads.
All contributed in one way or another, and we actually looked like we were play for each other.
Big confidence booster.
One of the contests of the year, dogs fought hard too despite some strange (read Bevo) coaching decisions.
Future looks bright, just need to bring that tenacity every week

I was thinking after the dogs kicked 3 straight it was going to be another of those games. We responded insanely well.

 

[JoeHawk]

Scrimmers should never be out of the side again.

Our whole defence was pretty solid even though they still kicked 14 goals but the defensive pressure was awesome and all contributed.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Can those lovely posters who do gifs of our game please get Watson’s 2 on 1 in the dying stages immortalised - STAT!

 

[wizzard400]

Best thing about that win is the maturity we showed throughout. Could've dropped our bundle in the first when Sic went down.

Challenged multiple times, just kept getting up and fighting back. Huge win for the psyche of the group.

Absolutely. Those are the kind of wins that help build young sides.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Great effort, now hopefully back it up next week

Dear first goal was a huge highlight

 

[MasterSamurai]

What a great gutsy win!
Just as aside , does anyone have the goals and behinds numbers on the following :
Gunston
Ginnivan
Watson
For this season. Been quite wasteful in front of the sticks.

We've played 4 of the top 5 (and the suns up there)

The ridiculously hard nature of that draw has masked the fact that we are no where near as bad as the doomsday posts and media reports have indicated.


I still think we are playing one Key defender short - which would allow us to do fun things with Sicily and Scrimshaw


Team was awesome today - Frosty holding it together down back, Meek is proving that he is not just our number one ruck but one of the better ones in the comp. Great games from Amon and Impey

A real captain's game from Sicily today

But the highlight for me was Gunston and Dear - the veteran and the debutant - linked by their positions on the ground and recent losses of fathers. Lovely moments all around

gotta love this club

 

[LunchboxLegend]

Backline take a bow.

Scrimmers (BOG, Meek unlucky)
Frosty.
Weddle.
Dimma.
Impey.

Undersized, but not overwhelmed.

What do you reckon Hardwick and Libba were jawing about when they were going at it in the first quarter? Who has the worst sticker tatts?

 

[badboybobba]

If we could only bring that effort every week.

Calsher was not out of place, it’s nice to have a key forward who can clunk a mark but also put on forward pressure.

Thought the Wiz after missing that sitter had some key moments, shows his mindset

Meeks best game in Hawks colours by a mile

Jars was awesome all day

Weddle is so composed for a second year player and hardly lost a one on one

A real team effort all afternoon

 

[HedgeFund]

Easily one of the best listens in a while

Matthew Hill is the best in the business.

 

[daniel23]

Great win! It just shows its between the ears for us, when we can sustain that effort you can see that we will be a good team in another 2/3 years.

Only concern outside of Sicilys shoulder is day having a serious looking chat with Peter burge at the end of the coverage, hopefully nothing to worry about there

 

[JoeHawk]

Could have been an entirely different story if Sic didn’t comeback. Mighty effort from the Captain.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

That is why we continue paying our membership year after year. To witness the effort and spirit that was on display today is all we ask.

Go you mighty Hawks

 

[ScottMaginness]

Pumped. Simply pumped.

Everyone else who has been mentioned.
CMac was great today.

Calsher gets the contest. Love it.

Winning the tight ones is culture.

Really happy for CMac today.

 

[Wesley2]

Love Meek's game, been super consistent, hope he stays fit

 

[The hands of stone]

Gutsy as win . Jumped then got back into it.
Challenged several times and responded each time .

Sam/coaches - you were right and I was way wrong. Calsher was terrific on debut ( please let's be patient here though )

A lot of pre game comments don't look great .
Back the coaches and players on this journey .

Going to enjoy this replay !!

 

[Books]

Part of me wants to suggest a ban for all the people who turned off after 5 minutes... but WE WON!!! All is forgiven. Go Hawks.

 

[Rich the babe Evans]

Thought Sicily spoke really well after the game and showed good passion and maturity.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

And there are people calling for Burge to be reviewed...

yeah made me laugh at the time.

 

[Blackhawk42]

So many things to touch on, but I'll limit my initial thoughts to just one.

I'd love everybody to go back and watch the final few minutes and take notice of Jack Ginnivan.
We've heard about his footy smarts, and it was right there to see if you knew what you were looking for.

Multiple stoppages in the final minutes all over the ground, and Jack jumped in on most of them to ensure the ball didn't spill out and we got a repeat stoppage.
Bont was looking ominous that final quarter around those stoppages and Ginni ensured there was no chance of a ball spilling out of a pack into his hands.

Was brave of the club to play Calsher but geez the hype is real. Looks a real player and has to hold his spot.
