Autopsy AFL 2025 Rd 21 - Crows v Hawks - Fri August 1st 7:10pm ACT/7:40pm AEST (Adelaide Oval)

[Guardian Hawk]

How many direct result from ducking free kicks? Shocking way to play the game

Agree - would like to see that part out of his game.

Still a good player who hits the contest at pace, tackles hard, can take a mark, etc.

Hopefully he follows Ginnivan's lead and gets rid of that part of his game (and adding a more well rounded game), especially given his athleticism is miles above Ginnivan.

 

[Visions]

the **** are you on about, how many times have the stopped a game for daicos getting cramp or knocked over, at least twice.

You dont watch enough footy.

I have counted 17 times in the last three weeks alone….

 

[chaddy22]

Selwood was good at milking the high contact.....but at least it never stopped him actually contesting the ball.

also a lot of bandages unlike the Hoks smalls.

 

[The King!]

Hawks did a lot right , they probably need to have kept one of the interstate games they led at 3/4 time against the top 8 sides imo. Freo, Suns, Crows.

Just that level off top 4 .

Few tweaks to make . But took two sides to make it a decent game.

Don't go the 4 talls again

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

People criticizing Tex and Rankine earlier in the game must feel foolish.

Genuine matchwinners when it matters.

Both know how to kick crunch goals.

 

[chaddy22]

Watson has got f*ck all in his kit bag other than throwing his head back in tackles

i loved how he flopped to the ground and hit his head.
All his own fault. I suppose he was wexpecting a free.

 

[Guardian Hawk]

How are Hawks 5th?

They really aren't that good.

Bit harsh after a narrow loss interstate to the premiership favourites (who have only lost to Hawthorn in the last 10 weeks)

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I thought we were pretty good just too many weak links in our team.

Crows a very good team with no real weakness.

Who wants Worpel will give to a good home.

Cats apparently.

 

[chaddy22]

I thought Hawks were very gallant in defeat. If it was played in Melbourne, the result could very well have gone your way.

Or more free kicks in front of goal.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Can’t let the ball inside hawks 50 because it’s an instant free

The only way they were in the game. It was quite unbelievable.

 

[Elixuh]

It wasn’t designed to intimidate anyone.
I don’t see anyone getting worked up?

What was it designed to do. I truly loved it.

 

[Westlo]

can we bet on odds for over/unders tomorrow night?

Was a good effort but something doesn't seem right.

WIll Day is good but dunno about some of the other mids.

And Day is from SA. Probably wants to play for Crows

 

[WillHayward]

Dunstall's commentary all game is like sitting behind a negative pessimistic Hawthorn supporter , all he ever says is how Hawks should have done better

Yep it's very fricken annoying

Day is Hawthorn through and through.

His granddad was a Premiership player.

 

[Guardian Hawk]

I'm sure I'll regret raising this but you would think that Hawthorn won the free kick count OR the ones paid in front of goal were not there with all the carry on here...but neither are accurate

 

[WillHayward]

Cats apparently.

He's pretty shit....

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Gifting Rankine that goal really took the steak out of the Hawks comeback.

Some current small forward goal tallies after 30 games:

1. N. Watson 43
2. T. Papley 39
3. J. Rachele 34
4. K. Pickett 31
5. I. Rankine 28
6. J. Elliott 28
7. S. Bolton 23
8. P. Curtis 21
9. T. Greene 10

Probably a bit early to declare a 20 year old a 'bust'

Most of those players played in some god awful teams in their first 30 games. Nick Watson in his debut season played finals flanked by Dylan Moore and Jack Ginnivan.

 

[Red Bull]

Season done.

From premiership favourites to missing the finals after adding 2 million dollar per season defenders ??
Rebuilds are hard work …

Pickett and Bolton more hybrid small forwards. can play midfield.

Don't worry he's not going to the Swans lol.
