Autopsy Round 10, 2024: Hawks get pipped by Power

[Birdofprey]

I am gutted after that. I know that it was a great effort by our young team in a tough stadium, and I will get over the loss.

But to lose to that bunch of ferals that way just kills me.

Campbell Brown is a ******* - first time I've ever decided that a premiership player for our club is a complete arseclown but there you go

Oh Campbell Brown is a *******

surely his shit bloke behaviour and dad tells you enough... had his day in 2008, but thank **** he pissed off to the Gold Coast

 

[Cyril says]

That sucked. I can’t believe we lost. We will win that game in 2025. But geez.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Watching Hinkley carry on like a flog at the end of the game made me vomit just a little in the back of my throat

That one hurts, our midfield just went totally missing that last quarter.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Port absolutely DID NOT deserve to win this.

We did not deserve the win, we stopped trying to kick goals. We went 100% defensive on the last qtr. That is on us!

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

For me, the most shattering loss since the 1984 Grand Final. That's how bad I feel right now. Just as well I don't have a cat.

Yep, it's up there. Could see this a mile out though

 

[SSSSSS]

And Nash didn't really stop JHF either

I think JHF is too big, strong and fast to be tagged.

Butters doesn't have the size to wear a 97kg body at the stoppage for 4 quarters.

Sam shouldn't have changed a thing. It wasn't as if JHF was winning them the game. He was off the leash and we were still 4 goals up.

 

[killerspud]

Can I admit....I had to watch the final 5 minutes with the sound down because of BT and Butthead on the call

As Hyphen man boy kicked the ball I screamed NOOOOOOOOO! that's ****ed ! really loudly and immediately turned off the TV

I looked up to see both teenage daughters and wife staring blankly at me - I then yelled out "I hate sport" and am now sulking in the study


Not a great effort by me -

 

[BobHawk]

Lets not be too harsh on the team or coaches. They toughed it out but couldn't hang on. A bad result but lots to come out of the game. Team has improved dramatically over the past few weeks. They played some really good footy. Team didn't choke. They just couldn't hang on and that last goal was crazy. We lost it at the final ball up where we should have set up to bottle it up for another bounce to kill the clock. There were mistakes and some sloppy handling in that last quarter but we should be proud of the team.

They will not win the flag in 2024 so it’s all good

 

[bigmaxi]

What a game, young team totally spent in the last. Gutted, absolutely gutted but proud of so many for such a great effort.
A few need to have a hard look at themselves, gotta go HARD when its your turn.
NO Sicily NO Scrimshaw.
Bring on next week.

Really bizarre to swap the magnet to take Nash off Butters.

Nash had absolutely dominated Butters for 3 quarters and suddenly goes off him for JHF.

Butters pretty much wills his team back.
I'm no AFL level coach but I wonder if the old 'if it's not broken' approach would have been more sensible.

Happened last year with Richmond too, Finn was on Daniel Rioli and last quarter moved the tag and Rioli won it for them.

 

[SuperSic]

Sam coached extremely well for most of the game but that loss is on him. There was a clear instruction to try and play defensively and save the game for the entire last quarter. That mindset lost us the game. All we had to do was score 1-2 goals and we win. Lots to learn.

 

[DEECEE]

Cant wait for the press conference. Heat must come for the coaching group.

Few papers stamped i reckon. Some "efforts" will be looked at closely

Oh **** off, you clown

I thought Nash was on JHF for the whole game

Gutted.
Hope to see Phillips get some more games.
Meek, Day, Hardwick and Frost were all huge today.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Oh heck off, you clown

Calm down

 

[2008wasoverDEW!]

We were winning comfortably all game playing smart positive football. We lost our composure and went negative. As soon as Port had a sniff we were in trouble.
As disappointed as I am with such a heartbreaking loss, I am very proud of the effort. It's a learning experience for the playing and coaching group. Lick the wounds and move on.

To be fair going into this game if we had lost by less than 4-5 goals Sam would have had his praises sung by the media all week long.

 

[burnside5]

I think get rid of holding the ball decision as doesn't exist anymore especially at home games to pay the free. In that last quarter there were two free kicks so blatantly ignored why? Mitchell made some coaching errors in my opinion. Mcguiness is a stoppage specialist and would have thought that having him tag Horne Francis might have been more beneficial than McKenzie. Was he injured for this game? Moving Hardwick away from the goals defies belief and worst of all just trying to save the game when we should have just kept attacking. Should never have lost that game and Frosty enormous in last quarter. You take out a 19 year old kid in Francis with a tough tagger then I think we win by 6 goals. Mitchell I hope you learn from this and instruct the players attack always NEVER try and save the game as makes you look like a goose...

 

[hawkman]

Ginnivan needs to stop hanging over the ball when the umpire calls for a ball up. Eventually an umpire is going to get sick of it and pay a free at a crucial point of the game

Its nowhere near that, trust me .

Remember that when the campaigners finish 9th and miss on the finals and the heat is on him yet again
