Autopsy Hawks v Pies - AFL 2025 Rd 22 - Thu August 7th 7:30pm (M.C.G.)

[RCAB]

This is what can happwn to old teams

The same old team you thought was going to overrun the Hawks in the second half?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I think we will get a Victorian premiership team this year. Interstates seem to happen one every six years.

Most likely Geelong but I hope Hawthorn

Brisbane’s best beats everyone and frankly know how to win at the G too

I was wrong

 

[SA HAWK]

Brisbane’s best beats everyone and frankly know how to win at the G too

Injuries piling up for them

 

[Nugett]

Nice when a team beats the umpires

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Only really Neale and he’ll be back for finals come top 2 with two home finals. Team to beat

 

[Tugga27]

I was wrong

Again.......

Wonder if Fly will be discussing his upcoming date with Silvagni this week

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Wonder if Fly will be discussing his upcoming date with Silvagni this week

Probably asking the afl is there any chance of him playing for the spies next week lol

Gosh I can’t wait for the Dean Disaster next week what’s Thilhorpe or Fogarty kicking hahaha

 

[Dewyyyyy]

exactly the same as May.

I’ll pick on Dan.

It isn’t.

Tackle v a brace.

Newcombe opened himself up, slowed down (slower than he was) changed direction and tackled.

Head clash purely accidental, alternative options not available.

Very very clearly fine and no case to answer.

Hope Howe is okay.

 

[Spook]

Hawks would be better without Gunston

Gunston ends up with 4

Did MMM cross to Peter Daicos post game? Need to know if he still telling the world that Hawthorn have been ‘found out’.

No vision of the Daicos family in the stands tonight on 7 either. Was a shame.

Team goes about 32 deep of truly capable players.

 

[Cyclops]

Too young last night. Wait til we get our experienced players back.

I'll strangle someone if i hear that Careless Whisper refrain again

When you look at Brisbanes line up compared to the Pies you really see how heavily they rely on their top 5. McStay, Lipinski, Hoskin-Elliot, Frampton, Membrey, Schultz and Mitchell would really struggle to get a game at Brisbane or even some of the other top 8 sides.

The last 2 good examples of a premier getting properly belted this close to September would have to be West Coast 1994 and West Coast 2006

West Coast 1994 lost to Carlton by 64 points in Round 22 and seemingly lost the minor premiership... only for Carlton to shit the bed against Essendon and the Eagles smoke Footscray in Round 24, then win all 3 finals while Carlton went out in straight sets

Then the 2006 Eagles lost the Round 21 Derby to a rampaging Freo by 57 points but got let off the hook by the Crows losing the Showdown to Port that afternoon... the next week the Eagles thumped Richmond to win the minor premiership, and ultimately overcame the Swans by the narrowest of margins

Tigers lost to saints by 67 pts in Rd 16 of 2017 and went on to win flag. However we were a young talented team on the verge of a dynasty while Collingwood are an old washed up team about to fall off a cliff.

Im pretty sure it won't be a case to answer but a lot of those elements are irrelevant as the duty of care overrides it all. The counter argument is: Newcombe shouldve foreseen that you can't make an effective tackle at that speed so it turns into a bump. He didn't slow down enough. 3 weeks. That's how disgusting the May decision was. It set a stupid precedent.

If you think its a suspension

You just knew it was first two goals to be a smashing based on their first two goals.

Both great crumbling goals from Watson but both set up by a Collingwood defense that looks like a sieve at the moment.

It shouldn't be a suspension but I can understand why people are thinking it could be looked at.

Big collision and a guy stretched off for a concussion. The AFL has conditioned people to think that somebody deserves to be punished for that.

But circling back. It won't be a suspension and more should it bem

Naicos is banged up and just not having the impact every week. Plus the old guys starting to drop away. Long has disappeared. Moore looks lost down back with no Howe and Frampton who was meant to come in and play the role Dean couldn’t, looked absolutely lost against any opponent last night.
McRae going to run it back with this list is a concern. It’s getting to a point of Naicos or bust at the moment. No way Pendles and Sidebottom have the year they’ve had next year. Mind you they are dropping away as the season goes.

Don’t be hysterical.

Nobody thinks it’s a suspension. The fact is that it might be given the AFL and their totally inept ability to remain consistent and understand accidents happen.

Like an old fighter who has had one fight too many, the Pies have gotten old! It will be tough going from here on in. Does anyone think they can beat Adelaide in Adelaide next week? Their position in the top 4 is very vulnerable now.
