Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 5 - Port v Hawks Sun April 13th 7:20pm AEST (AO)

[AlwaysHawks15]

I personally couldn’t care what those Hawthorn forwards do, just like they shouldn’t care what we do either. But by your definition clearly the world lives rent free in their heads, given how much time and thought they put into doing things purely for attention.

Quote: Hawthorn Coach Sam Mitchell

Suggestions from players during the week that they might emulate Hinkley's plane taunt of last year's semi-final failed to come to fruition, with both Nick Watson and Ginnivan failing to hit the scoreboard.

"They talk all the time about, if the opportunity came up, what celebrations they might do. Obviously, everyone who's done a celebration like that, they've prepped for it at some point so, you can look at that and think that we were talking about it. But it certainly wasn't a collective discussion," Mitchell said.

Who cares, so arrogant of Mitchell to encourage personality amongst the players. It's honestly laughable some of the garbage being posted here.

Your team went to water when the heat was applied then the entire 22 got triggered when Port decided to give you a bit of your own medicine (and aside from the Rioli thing there was nothing but a few words said that clearly hit some nerves).

Seems they can all give it when things are going well but can’t take it when someone decides to give it back. Sore losers, exactly the mentality Sam Mitchell had as a player.

Heard this morning that Hawks players started various levels of melees after 11 of Port Adelaide goals last night. Can’t vouch for the exact number but doesn’t seem far off.

I reckon there’s a mix of “can’t stand losing” (good) with “embarrassment at being smashed” (average) with “sore loser” (ha ha sucked in Hawks).

Give what out, provide examples. Still waiting for any actual proof we "dish it out but can't take it out" teams have been getting in our faces all year trying to put us off but that's ok because Sam and the team are arrogant and deserve it even though there's no basis to these claims. Everyone just has their nose out of joint because we are relevant again and people clearly have threepeat syndrome so you and others are just making stuff up to justify it.

Lol, you're not relevant again, you're nothing more than a top 8 clogger like my mob, the difference being, with the northern clubs up and about the Vic media are pumping you up as one of their great hopes along with the Pies and Cats.
Pies and Cats are relevant though.

We shall see

 

[PenfoldsFan]

We shall see

We saw last year, your answer was to bring in a backman thats been on the pies all offseason and did FA last night when the heat was on.

 

[PowerBaz]

Nice to see there's still a little bit of Collingwood left in Richards

Liking this guy more and more, he seems to be settling in.

Ahh yes you think one game is going to define our season cool

There was a bit on the line, your Skipper was putrid when it mattered and your mouthy small forwards non existent.
Infact, the only bloke who really stood up came from Clarko's era, Gunston.
Hardly suprising.

Can’t tell if you genuinely believe this. Your entire brand is built on exactly what Port did to you last night and the players couldn’t handle it.

I would have loved to find a way to keep him at the Pies, but Port offering 3 years when he'd played 9 career games was always going to be way too good to pass up. Gee he looked sharp last night

Yeah yeah love the smart arses they are the ones that achieve. There are quite a few in history.

And plenty of smart arses fail.

If you think you need to be a smart arse to succeed........that says everything really.

 

[Obeanie1]

Encouraging players to play and act like dickheads and smart arses. And the coach leading the way.

What could possibly go wrong?

Hawks providing opposition with a lot of reasons to lift against them. You want to be public enemy #1 because of poor character and behaviour. That comes with ramifications.

 

[jackag24]

Didn’t Watson do that to Giants players a couple of weeks ago?

Yes. And didn't the commentators love it! He's just playing with such exuberance and cheekiness! But Rioli is a dirty dog for doing it!!

Forget me, my opinion doesn’t matter, but ask all the opposition players? Noting that all those opposition players on the field are of the same generation, so none of that boomer, gen y, gen z, millennial stuff applies there (which is vastly overrated anyway in my opinion only)

There’s personality, and there’s levels of arrogance. Personality doesn’t invite retaliation because it’s usually celebratory (think Eddie Betts), arrogance does because it talks down to others.

Eg threepeat syndrome, really? And you think others are making stuff up?

Was there? Probably for Port not for a team that was sitting 4 - 0. The 4 points was on the line nothing more nothing less. All the gloating and media furore won't change the fact that this game was only worth 4 points

So no examples just the vibe bullshit. I'd say the same thing to you regarding genuinely believe we dish it out but can't take it, is that because Kane Cornes tells you to believe it? Damian Barrett? It's absolute nonsense.

Name a game we celebrated in the faces of the opposition, or better yet showed the ball whilst running into an open goal. That's the epitome of arrogance not celebrating goals with your team mates.

I didn't say that or infer that. What i meant to say is those smart arses are some of the more talented in our team and help us win each week. The are non-talented smart arses they acheive nothing. The ones that excel because they have that self belief that can not be shaken.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

While we are at name an occasion Mitchell has shown arrogance and dismissed any other team. Macrae has done it as has Goodwin. Is it the fact they have won flags so they can say what they like because I'm confused. Name 1 occasion, if it takes all day to find an example that's fine I'll wait.

If he finds smarts arses offensive he may as well not follow any team. There's at least half a dozen smart arses in every team. Day and Newcombe are smart arses too by association according to some of these posters. Absolutely laughable arguments.

What a load of contrived bullshit. Offended by smart arses? You may as well not follow football. Go look at any player at any clubs Tiktok account. You will find quite alot of attention seeking how good am I posts and videos. If you honestly think otherwise your either dumb or incredibly naive. What does any of that have to do with club culture. Least their not snorting coke like your mob did for years. Cut the PC bullshit act and start posting sensibly.

Apparently Mitchell encourages arrogance. No evidence to support any of it though.
