Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 14 - Hawks v Crows Fri June 13th 7:40pm AEST (UTAS STADIUM)

[smasha]

Goal kicking this year has been horrid in general.

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

I said receiving the most free kicks, now second after #freekickhawthorn last night, so trying to work out your logic, but you’re Adelaide crows so…..

The coin has two sides. Ignoring the other side of the coin doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The FF/FA differential is the best measure of how kissed on the appendage a team is.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Lol, Sicily.

Sicily being dropped is why you've had a chance to win the last 2 games as your defence actually defends now.
Since GR, with him in the team, you beat no one of significance.

Sicily wasn’t dropped he was injured

 

[Shueygod]

Laughable. Hewett is a pretty good talent but he’s not shown any reason that he’s “clear”. Harley will be great but he’s been horrible this year and runs on the board matters.

Who else is there? Archer Reid? Brockman? Ginbey?

Hawthorn have better youth, a better crop of prime aged players and better experience. It’s why they’re a young team contending and West Coast aren’t.

Willing to put money on who wins a GF next?

Getting the most free kicks in the competition to date is hardly a sign of being unfairly treated though, which was the original comment.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Yeah no. I’m not gambling with some random bloke on the internet.

But Hawthorn will.

 

[Shueygod]

Yeah no. I’m not gambling with some random bloke on the internet.

But Hawthorn will.

Ah, no leg to stand on then.

Not even you have faith in your youth.

Just can’t see who is going to take the step up to elite in the next 2 years before your older players are cooked.

Probably peak at 4th-6th then hover around 8-10th for 4 years after they retire.

 

[PenfoldsFan]

Yeah, you can believe that if it helps you sleep.
The point still stands, you have a better defence without him.
Weddle actually said it post game last week, 'a defence that defended'.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

He had an injury that had hindered his performance. He’ll be straight back in post bye. Conspiracy theorist much.

No leg to stand on because I’m not actively betting with strangers on the internet. Makes sense

Older players? Gunston and Impey are the main two, and everyone knows who’s replacing Gunston.

If you can’t see it that’s your problem. Newcombe and Day as the stars in the middle, Ward has had a great year and one of the most improved players, think it was last week they said he’s the #1 rated kick in the comp. Ward/Mackenzie types in the middle will be the next to turn into A Graders, Weddle, Watson etc draft picks still to come.

Still have Lewis (prime age), Meek (26), Dear, MacDonald, Butler. There’s a few highly talented players at BH, like McCabe and Mraz.

Still a quite large group of 24-27 year olds to go with the under 23. A couple above that.

Hawthorn will be in contention now, but also have the youth to sustain a run.

I sit and watch games with a neutral eye

 

[HeHateMe]

I hate these filthy Neutrals, SYL. With enemies you know where they stand but with Neutrals, who knows? It sickens me.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Didn't watch the game last night, but saw the score.

What's the story with both teams only kicking 40 points?? Was it wet or something?

Cold and dewy, super contested game.

 

[smeltitdeltit]

One of the more overrated players in the game.

Hewett and Harley clear.


eagles will win a premiership before the hawks.

 

[smeltitdeltit]

You can’t be serious. Free kicks in first halves of games are inconsequential compared to free kicks in the dying minutes of a tight game. Surely you can see that?

You realise a goal is worth the same 6 points in both the 1st minute and the last minute yeah? Surely you can see that?

 

[Lunchtime]

Last 3 games between Hawthorn & Adelaide at Launceston:

3 point win to Hawthorn: Round 6, 2021

3 point win to Adelaide: Round 6, 2023

3 point win to Hawthorn: Round 14, 2025

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Hawthorn living rent free in West Coast fans heads continues to be a fantastic by-product of last years trade period

It’s just marvellous

They can”t help themselves

PM is just the icing on the cake

I must admit I've never ever understood this whole "If you don't make a bet with me, then you're wrong and I win the argument!!" mentality.

1. Many people don't gamble.
2. Even if they do, they won't gamble with some random unknown stranger.
3. It's a freaking opinion forum, why the need to take it so seriously that you have to gamble actual money on it?

 

[smeltitdeltit]

About 50 times a week a player punches the ball over the line clearly with intent and it's been called a throw in every time. Until 3 minutes to go with a kick in it.

That wasn’t a marking contest though

 

[MisterMarcus]

Back on the game, Adelaide simply will NOT be taken seriously as a contender by many, until they take a big scalp interstate.

Collingwood/Hawthorn at the G (or in Tassie), Geelong at GMHBA, Brisbane in Brisbane, even Doggies at Marvel....

Beating up on WCE, North, St Kilda and Carlton at home won't be enough.

 

[Vindicater]

The Fogarty free was 100% there.

The frustrating thing for people is that Battle did the same thing a minute before but was hidden from the umpires view so was not called.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Cold?

A Hawthorn side without Day, Worpel, Scrimshaw, Sicily and possibly one of Dear/Lewis.

Huge win for the Hawks.

 

[Kickin_Goals]

I mean in a game that's so low scoring 10 free kicks on goal is massive.
