Autopsy Round 22, 2025: Hawks thump the Pies

[Khmerhawk]

Suns will finish Top 4. I think we end up 5th-6th and a home final at the G against Freo or Dogs

Carlton actually looked ok last week so maybe there’s a small chance of an upset . As much as we want Carlton loosing I think we need to root for them this week

 

[hawkguru]

Apparently there's no room for Chol in our best 22 from the media. Well here's what 2phones thinks...

Did anyone have Gunston being in AA contention in 2025? This is some late career revival

 

[hawkguru]

Roast me

You roasted yourself with that shit.

And it was......



DELICIOUS!!

 

[Paul Kersey]

Just finished the replay. Now to check the player stats.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Even David “throw the book at him “ King didn’t have anything to say about it so surely he’s fine .

I think they will give him the rest of the weekend off.

 

[SA HAWK]

Did anyone have Gunston being in AA contention in 2025? This is some late career revival

Supernatural era Santana revival.

 

[theiaofseed]

Shut out to Watson 11 contested possession from 14 disposals

 

[Dave Id]

Really impressed with Massimo's game.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Liked how Sam was asked about Gunston potential AA, his response was not potential, he has the blazer!! Great answer.
Impey, Amon and Ginnivan deserve to be considered at the very least.

 

[perrdan86]

Massimo..?

Yeah.. he'd be on the other wing.

 

[Sprint Artisan]

Just having watched the replay. I hate working with work challenged mute vagina’s. HR have told me that I’m not allowed to call them lazy dumb campaigners anymore, so that’s my compromise. If they actually pulled their fingers out of their rectums, I could have watched the game live.

O.K. Now after my little whinge, whine bitch and moan. great game, great win. Loved Calsher’s game, hate seeing him subbed though, seems we lose that “X” factor and energy when he is subbed. Watson really started off well, gunners worked his way into the match, as did Chol. Sicily seems back to his best. Newcombe played well. Loved Moore and Wiz in the midfield, made us unpredictable. Scrimmers, Barrass and Battle were solid down back

The four talls worked this week, think it’s worth persevering with, just don’t sub Dear any more, that is my only criticism from the game, eventually it will cost us a big match.

Think he is still struggling with fitness. Also, given his recent back injury, I'm happy with him playing reduced minutes, especially when we are 40 points in front...

 

[triangulation_squared]

Jai Newcombe giving Leigh Matthews vibes with how hard he is at the pill. Sic and Jai getting their mojo back is a really beautiful thing.

The mids were clinical tonight and set up this win. Shout out Nash, Ward, Dylan Moore

and the Wiz rotating thru looks to be working.

The forwards and backs elite. Would like to see more from cmac but some positive signs.

Good to see us ditch 4 talls and play 5 forward. Let's see how Rama goes this weekend but would love to see 6 next week.

In Ramsden out Breust.

Tipped us by 2 points. Overperformed!! In Sam we trust!!

 

[FB19]

Really enjoyed that. Defence rock solid Sicily back to best. Mids very good and liked CJ and Massimo as defensive wingman really helped out the mids. Credit to Worpel god awful q1 but worked hard and glad he hit the scoreboard. Lewis building just want to see him get through the year unscathed. Meek immense I thought he looked tired but I got that wrong by some way. Destiny in our hands and I’ve never heard a sides supporters get 8-0 free kicks and whinge so strongly. Delicious!

 

[madhawksfan]

The performance we’ve been waiting for all season. Strong pressure and tackling and Hokball counter attack for 4 quarters.

Mitchell out coached Fly big time and the players executed beautifully.

Meek BOG, with excellent games from about 8-10 others. No passengers and a return to form for Worpel after a shaky start. Breust was handy when he came on.

That was finals standard football and if the midfield can at least break even against the better sides, our forward line will cause headaches for any defence.

Now to cheer on Port, North and Melbourne this weekend.

[bigbuddyboy]

How funny are we; worrying about how we fit in Sicily, scrim, tb, jb and potentially Weddle in the backline.

Imagine having to roll out Frampton

 

[Sturty]

McRae was MALDING at his press conference holy hell

 

[Slainte]

Not much to add to the comments so far - strong even performance, with some nice hokball moments. Collingwood are definitely off their game and were disadvantaged by losing Howe very early. However, we probably would have had their measure last night, even if they were right on their game and Howe did not get concussed.

People are saying Sicily is back to his best. I don't think that is quite right. His intercept game is as good as it has ever been - reading the ball, out-bodying opponents and catching everything that comes his way. However, his kicking is not so great. He is not hitting targets and opening up play as he does at his best. He was responsible for a couple of unforced turnovers by foot last night. When he gets his leg back, we will know he has really returned to his best.

 

[Glebehawk]

Can’t think of anyone in the side who had a poor game. Well done to Worps and Chol for turning it around. Impey in the form of his career.

break up? His presser felt like a jilted lover asking why me…

 

[Flamin Joe]

Just checked the stats and Jarman Impey played a huge game.

25 disposals
3 goal assists
494m gained
8 marks

Under rated player!

He's had a slow start to the year but peaking at the right time. Just over this past month he's averaging 24.5 disposals.

Primed to have a great finals series.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

That was a brilliant game from the hawks.
The lowest score Collingwood has ever kicked under McRae - no wonder he was sad.

Newcombe was aweomse, and Worpel did a mountain of work to help make it happen. (Worpel very uncertain withhis hands at the moment though)
13 shots at goal from our talls. 16 if you add Meek to that. Big return, especially as Chol and Dear could have got a couple more goals than they did.

I think that was the first game all year where we went away from the stock standard 4 mid rotation and rolled people through there all night. Wiz, Moore, Ginnivan, Ward supporting Newcombe Worps and Nash. I want to see how this works against a good midfield.

Just such a fun game of footy to watch - the boys looked like they were having a really good time.

 

[LRobbo]

Collingwood fans couldn’t wait to see the back of Ginnivan after bringing in Schultz, what a backwards bunch they are.

Weird club, clearly afraid to make a tough call on some senior players, Pendlebury an all time great, but he’s finished, and wants to go again for the record.
They’ll roll out Sidebottom, Elliot, Howe, Miocheck, WHE again and expect to contend, McCrae is delusional.

Richmond type drop off coming
