Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 12 - Pies v Hawks - Fri May 30th 7:40pm AEST (MCG)

[hawkman]

hawkman words please. You advocated for your backs over the milky bar kid.
Were you stoned at the time.

Half our backline was out injured and we did better on the pies forwards than this.
Scrimshaw, Amon, Impey, Jiath etc etc. Come on now.

I don't blame the backline for the last few weeks. The lack of pressure up the field is frightening and would make it tough for any backline. Doesn’t help when Mitchell refuses to start our best small defender in the backline

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

If Sicily isnt injured he should be dropped.

If he is injured he should be rested.

So….you want to take away Mitchell’s entire Plan B?

Maybe that’s why he threw Barrass forward against the Eagles, was a genuine attempt to upskill him.

 

[Magpie Since 1986]

Lol hawf , glad we get them twice , hollywood primadonnas scared to lay a tackle

 

[Cleavy]

What we learned - Hawthorn midfield is rubbish

not just solely the midfield...

 

[PerthBoy86]

Last season they were the horse that bolted. Nil expectations. That gives you a certain freedom and everything clicked.

Yep. Haven't completely written them off for 2025, but I'll be surprised if they even make a prelim at this stage. 5-8 with maybe another EF win is my tip.

 

[PizzaPie]

Everyone talking about how many more tackles Collingwood laid than the Hawks, but interestingly Hawks players were also tackled while in possession of the ball significantly more often than Collingwood players.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Sicily had less of it than Scrimshaw?

Scrimshaw was subbed out when?

 

[Opium]

Hockball was a pump-and-dump scam.

Just like même coin

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

Sammy Mitchell in his infinite wisdom traded in two temu versions of Sicily. The temu versions are one dimensional which has destroyed sicilys natural game. It’s great to watch, it truly is.

Yep. Completely ****ed the team. Wish we still had Frost back there and used our picks to get midfielders in instead of getting Barrass in that moves like he weighs 200kg.

Had less than Maguiness who came on for Scrimshaw.

I think we can safely do that
The bigger question re Hawks is will they make the 8
A flag is fanciful

 

[Hoops]

Now, now we are being too harsh on these young Hok stars. How are they meant to develop with so much negativety. We need to encourage them to be themselves, and if that means losing games so be it. They are under.intense pressure to preform, in what can be a scary, unforgiving environment.
So instead of saying "You're Shit" and "do better". How about we say in our gentle voice "where do you think the leading forward wants the ball kicked?" It all about giving them control and encouragement.

Yep AT MOST only needed one of them , which should’ve been battle (as he was free and not half rooted like barass)

Then used barrass’s picks for a proper KPF

Alas the self appointed master coach knew best

 

[brutus76]

Needed to give it some of that Hok Tuah!

 

[No SPIN]

What we learned - Hawthorn midfield is rubbish

And no team can move the ball for a full game against Coll.

 

[OniAu]

More like Sammy Bitchell

 

[YeoShuey]

Hawthorn are too busy playing hokball that they forgot how to play football.

How to hang with this mob?

Well, Geelong lead the league for tackles inside forward 50. That helps.

Hawthorn - worst among the top 8 teams. Just a zero pressure side this year.

 

[Lingsface]

Can Ed Allen be a rising star nomination? If so would have to be a contender this week.

2008-2015: "Unsociables"

2025: "Social Mediables"

Tik Tokkers

 

[gillon]

Obviously the deliberate decision was terrible but it’s wonderful to see them actually umpire Hawthorn properly.

Forward line is ****ed

35 year old Gunston
Zero pressure Chol
Witches Hat Wizard

Can’t think of anyone else

Premiership favorites at start of year. How pundits got it wrong….

 

[toxic]

I think it's time we can all agree

Sam Mitchell is an over rated media inspired bog average coach

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Tackling practice at Dingley.
