Autopsy Hawthorn defeats Gold Coast Suns

[Hawks1994]

The new strawberry one is the best

That is true. The watermelon is pretty tops also

 

[LuvMyHawks]

Chip Frawley now saying in an interview this is the first time ever his team has been top of the ladder.

I am staggered!

That was since he played there..

 

[Thaihawk]

They are excruciating to watch. Such horrible games.

Just as well we win there each time though.

We could ask the A.F.L. for a roof, couldn't we?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Not pretty but 4 points, looks like no injuries & Hodge looked good.... Cant complain with that.

 

[Davo23]

That was since he played there..

He said "ever"

 

[madhawksfan]

Positives: Hodge was solid, Lewis is definitely back to near his best, Birchall's best game for the year, Sicily played another great game, our defence stood up yet again led by Gibbo, Hartung recovered from a shaky start, Hill's best game for a while, four points and no injuries

Negatives: Minus 16 in contested possession, poor use of the footy going inside 50, indecisive once we got inside F50 and hospital hand passes galore.

Good to get the win but same story as most games in that we need to play better to contend.

 

[Goldhawk]

How many times Gerard Healy jumped the gun with free for and against was amusing

Gerard is a flog he was always willing to get the Suns up

 

[LuvMyHawks]

I didn't care if we only won by ONE point. As long as we won?

 

[crazywildhorse]

Maybe it was me but I found it difficult to follow our players in that special strip.

Another ridiculous jersey clash.

I haven't.istened to any commentators all day on Fox.Dont care what they say or who they support, we showed them! And that hurts them more than us!

 

[JustKickIt]

I loooooove Tasmanian games.

That pink strip was horrid. Raised awareness for people with televisions that have a color display problem.

Err what? There was no pink strip, it was the usual brown and gold home strip.

 

[Thaihawk]

Had to attend a wedding, so only saw the last quarter and a half. Thought Ceglar., Stratton, Mitch., Lewis, Sic., Hilly shouldn't have started names, as many were very good. Gunner, TOB and Poppy were quiet.

The game was probably a good work out going into the bye. Now let's hope tigers work over, and soften up Port for us on Thursday week.

 

[Samurai Hawk]

good to see Hill getting involved and having an influence in the last.. even if it was only for 10 min.

 

[James Colorado]

I thought Stratton was very good. Along with Mitch, Sicily and Ceglar.

Stratton has been criminally underrated for years now across the wider fan base. Only Hawks fans appreciate how good he is, and how integral to our success he's been. Today was just another typical Stratton game, but you won't see anyone outside the club recognise him for it.

 

[daniel23]

stratton, mitchell , cegs and sicily best on . how much longer can we carry Mcevoy ? so slow and barely wins a hitout , wouldn't mind shoe back to see if he can play that fwd/ pinch hit ruckman like a ben brown . He won't win the hitouts but it's not like we do anyway with mcevoy in there

 

[TyHawk]

These wins will hold us in good stead in finals when it's close and low scoring. All year we've found ways to win and gritted our teeth. I'm extremely happy with where we are. Btw, Stratton won't be AA but he definitely will be Top 4 in our B&f, looking at career best season imo. Breust is getting the ball a lot more in games where he isn't kicking too many goals which is a good sign. Sicily was just as good as last week all things considered and great to see Cegs play so well. Btw, welcome back Hodgey you GUN! Lazy 28.

 

[LuvMyHawks]

Another ridiculous jersey clash.

Well, I loved It. Surely you realise it was for CANCER? Whether you like it or not, the colour shouldn't matter. I don't care if it's green with purple spots, , as long they raise money for CANCER. ONE day , just ONE day they will wear them for, and you complain about the colours. FGS, The Scotts are Whingers, now we have some grizzlers in here.. Maybe they should design one THEY Like!

 

[Todman]

Good Weekend,

Brexit, St Kilda, chocolate cake and top of ladder

 

[Dragz]

Just got home. GC played pretty damn well. Poppy had a dirty day and just couldn't get near it much early. Every time we got a mark inside the 50 meter arcnear the boundary line at the Ract stand, we then passed it Nicely to a gc player. Really didn't see much running to open space for the next guy to run into.

Cegs, hodge, Mitch, Sicily were great. Thought McEvoy and Frawley were a tad ordinary.

 

[Soft as malaxos]

Bit scrubby but a wins a win. Good amount of fwd entries gcs stacking all bar one behind the ball on most occasions probs made most of those entries look untidy. Great to see some nice unbroken chains of play coming from the back half in the last quarter, most resulting in scores. Fantastic to see glorious leader back. Top of the tree going into the bye , gotta be happy with that.

 

[EIGHTYEIGHTEIGHTYNINE]

good to see Hill getting involved and having an influence in the last.. even if it was only for 10 min.

He was good all day

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Err what? There was no pink strip, it was the usual brown and gold home strip.

Huh?

 

[Simon Crawshay]

How ridiculous is it that Sam Mitchell is still racking up 35 possession games at 80%+ efficiency at 33 years old? Given he plays the game standing still he could literally play till he is 40 as long as he doesn't suffer any long term injuries. Rapidly moving up the ranking for all time Hawthorn greats.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

I loved the jumper, but think more brown in the socks would have been even better.
