Autopsy Round 22, 2025: Hawks thump the Pies

[PAOKTSIS]

First game for the entire season where we played with the same level of intent, hunger and intensity for all 4 quarters.

And what a time to do it - just before the finals!

Lol Macrae press conference is gold. Melting

Can someone please ask him if I can borrow $50

 

[Simon Crawshay]

How good was it when Worps kicked the goal, didn't look like he was checked out to me. Him Wardy and Nash did an excellent job on Naicos.

I don't think Worps would ever check out, he's just been low in confidence.

The display of affection from the guys when Worps kicked the goal said a fair bit about how much they love the Worpedo.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

McRae sociopathing up the presser

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Great team win. Was so low after Daysy getting injured but win our last 2 and we could finish top 4.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Lol Macrae press conference is gold. Melting

I was wondering how he would respond.

Sociopaths are fine when things are going their way (they can even be charming) but when things go south they make things very toxic very quickly.

So you cant play 4 talls so we played 5

Meeky was unstoppable whether in the Ruck pr drifting forward

The unsung guns running through the middle Moore, Amon, Ambrosio, Watson and especially Impey - I swear Jars has Brown and Gold flowing in his veins.

Barrass and Battle continue to grow into an incredible key defensive duo and Sicily is back to his best. Love Hardwick's game and Scrimshaw and Jiath's attack off half back was great.

There is no reason why we cant go deep into september now.

This is the most bizarre press conference ive ever seen. He's literally coaching in front of the press

 

[Hawkas1988]

Jarman Impey....what a 2nd half of the year he is having. Is in insane form atm. Love him.

The Pies are Ginni's b**ch

 

[VandoHawk]

They showed the image of the Newcombe hit. Both hit each other at speed, Newcombe has both arms around Howe in a legal tackle, but the heads collide.

Should not be a suspension.

 

[Sonny Hayes]

How many tackles did Nash just completely dismiss and bash through? Was bloody huge

Was the best game Nash has played in a long time, he was so physical tonight.

 

[Yuley95]

Gunston just gets better and better.

Imagine how good he’ll be with a few years more experience and preseasons under his belt. The young fella will be a force to be reckoned with.

 

[Bugs1977]

I don't think Worps would ever check out, he's just been low in confidence.

The display of affection from the guys when Worps kicked the goal said a fair bit about how much they love the Worpedo.

His disposal was terrible early on and he got caught holding ball early on but something clicked towards the end of the 2nd quarter and it looked like he got a bit of his mojo back. Also whomever decides to rewatch the game I'd really like to know if anyone else noticed how much work he was putting into Naicos especially around the stoppages. He wasn't applying a direct tag but he along with a few others really made him work for every possession he got.

We bashed them tonight and then ran them off their feet.

 

[Atch]

And happy with CJ did play the MCG well as I said.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

awesome..best win all season easily.
I’ve been waiting for that to happen all year

 

[onthemoney]

Craig Mcrae is gibbering like Dennis Hoppers character from Apocalypse

I don't understand his genius... Weird cat.

 

[James Colorado]

NEWK IS THE MAN!!!

Anyone else think Lloyd Meek looks like superman? Forehead curl and all. Played like him tonight.

You'd think someone would try and stand him on the goal line...

You'd think someone would try!!

 

[Snakelilbandit]

Never seen someone get borderline knocked out , then actually get better

Chance to go past Collingwood on the ladder next week. Who would’ve thought.

Amon 20 disposal second half. Never gets credit

Newk just needed a factory reset to produce his best

 

[Atch]

Nash bought the boom!

 

[Bugs1977]

Craig Mcrae is gibbering like Dennis Hoppers character from Apocalypse

Someone might want to check that guys wall cavities cause he sounds cray cray.

His nickname should be Craig McCray McCray

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Very satisfying win!

I think we have the players to challenge anyone and thus have a crack at the silverware. Just need to keep bringing our best

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

We will probably end up with no official AA but this team has a bunch of players thereabouts

Gunston Ginni Impey Amon Battle have all been elite in their positions and once again were tonight

 

[James Colorado]

Hopefully this puts to bed the value of 4 tall forwards. It was very premature to say the experiment didn't work last week. We scored another 100 points tonight.
We may not need the 4 tall forwards every week depending on the matchups but its a weapon no other club can match.

I wouldn't go the 4 talls in May-July when the weather is poor and we play our four games at Launceston, but August and September when it clears up and we play at the MCG for the run home and then finals, it's a very difficult thing for opposition teams to defend.

 

[James Colorado]

Man we have turned Ginnivan into one hell of a footballer. He has been bloody awesome since that early season vfl spell. So creative, diligent and calm under pressure

His footy IQ is severely underrated.
