Autopsy Round 7, 2022: Hawks fail against Dees

[Mercy Seat]

Same amount of scoring shots, and we missed a couple of sitters whilst they nailed really tough ones. Not to mention the free kicks… plenty to like, and we’re the closest to get to Melbourne all season.

 

[Sixpence]

Don't like losing, but hard to hate the result. Thought we were in it more than the score suggested. Things seemed to go against us after that BS Ben Brown

flops in it

Loving this sort of effort, the polish will come with more experience. Go Hawks!

 

[CHUBBSS]

* the umpires haha

 

[Max Powers]

Loving the excitement and energy our younger blokes bring into the game. Really feel like we are building something special, looking forward to the future.

 

[Gimmeafree]

Another brilliant effort by the Hawks. In 2 weeks you’ve blown away the swans and the dees early and you’ve had the umps against you. Umps today is bordering on Bulldogs bad. Fair umps and accuracy and you would have won. In any case, you must be absolutely stoked with this impressive rebuild.

 

[theiaofseed]

Moore found a new position?

30 touches, 6 score involvements and 500 meters gained.

 

[lethalselbow]

Great effort by the Hawks. Very proud effort by a developing team.

Goalkicking is everything.

Breust, Gunston & Wingard: 10 shots on goal... 2 goals and 8 behinds. They won't be that inaccurate again.

Lynch battled manfully but ******* hell how good is Max Gawn

? Like seriously, they lose this game without him. He's so damn good

 

[Franko Armani]

Amazing effort. So tough all game.
Only got really beaten by them when Callow was in the middle, he was way out of his depth at AFL level imo.
Umpires absolutely fleeced us all night, totally favoured Melbourne.
We have got something good brewing with Sam! Go the hawks

 

[WWSD]

Undersized around the ground. Another key defender would make a difference.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Really loved that game.

We got absolutely mauled in the ruck - but just kept finding ways.
Gunston and Breust just not playing like the class operators we expect.
We were off a 5 day break, and just kept at it to the last siren. A genuine 4 quarter effort.
Thought Worpel, O'Meara played well today.
Max Lynch copped a lesson - but he's gonna be good! I like the way he plays.
Kosi got 4 which was great reward for the huge effort he puts in.
Maginess may have payed his best game.

So much to like about that game.

 

[hawk for 37]

Outplayed but had a crack.

Probably so..10 points, Free count 14-26 and Gunners and Breust 1.6 between.
Nearly call it the one that got away.

 

[WWSD]

Koschitzke has kicked 7 goals in the last two games from just 16 disposals. Great effort. He’ll only get better with more games under his belt.

 

[theiaofseed]

If we had Reeves to help nullify Gawn more I think we win that game

 

[Viddiot]

We did all right at the end of the day.
Good honest crack, just skills were off at crucial times all over the ground.
No late goals given up for 4 quarters is the big progress, we have to be satisfied with that.

Overall, disappointing to lose a game, but the lads can take heart because having had the chance to measure up against the reigning premiers. Just keep calm and carry on, win the games we should in the middle of the season now.

 

[eldorado]

Kudos to Finn also, worked his ass off today.

Great work by Finn.

His best game.

 

[Xtreme]

As a "bottom of the ladder" side, taking up to the defending premier was really good. Glimpses of a good future, just need to tidy up a few things (and paperbag bribe umpires ? jk) and we'll be right.

 

[Slainte]

Much improved effort after Monday's capitulation. Worpel had his best game this year and Maginness did very well on Langdon. Moore was everywhere. Day was good until he tired. Lynch and Reeves will be a great combination. Lots to like.

 

[MadDawg]

Can't ask for more than every player having a crack, and the team trying their best to play fast, exciting football. Just gotta get cleaner.


Sidenote: is there anything more boring in football than s**t free kicks to Ben Brown

, then watching him take forever to kick for goal

 

[Endorphin Machine]

Good effort.
Can anyone comment on Impeys game? He looked to be outrun several times. Did he cop a corkie ? Looked unusually slow off the mark..

 

[Paul Kersey]

Probably so..10 points, Free count 14-26 and Gunners and Breust 1.6 between.

Nah. Reckon Mel were in cruise control. Like what we used to do to teams. Umpiring frustrating but don't feel like it made a difference.

 

[kenneje]

Coming off a 5 day break and umpiring not going our way, that's one of those losses you feel bloody good about.

Gunston & Breust kick straight today and we win.

In a warped way, that's kind of the best result we could have gotten? The players won't be disheartened, no pressure on Mitchell and we end up with a better draft pick.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Good effort.
Can anyone comment on Impeys game? He looked to be outrun several times. Did he cop a corkie ? Looked unusually slow off the mark..

Seems to play like someone who thinks he's much faster than he is.

 

[Breustiful]

Very happy with that. Kudos to Worpel’s last quarter.

I don’t like to post about the umpiring, but inconsistency was annoying.
