Autopsy Round 22, 2025: Hawks thump the Pies

[Cleavy]

Ugh, based on the stupid football media, it’s all about Collingwood losing. Where’s our kudos?

 

[Wingnut19]

Really impressed with Massimo's game.

So good. Looks like last year wasn't a flash in the pan. He is a jet, looks like he will be top class winger for a long time. What were Bombers doing

 

[hr_23]

If we didn’t drop the 3 games against Crom, Suns & Dorkers where we were up at 3QT we would be 2 games clear at the top of the ladder

 

[Harper_Hawk]

I’m really impressed by Josh Ward. That kid is growing in confidence every week. Just such a nice sharp left foot.

Corn & Kingy are giving us massive kudos on Fireball this morning, even Kingy knows how good that was

 

[CHUBBSS]

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

I still think Pendles is their best player, when he goes it will be a full rebuild

They've made some strange recruiting moves.
Shultz is the weirdest one. Sure he can tackle but sheesh he's limited. Tom Mitchell is a ghost of the player he once was. Ned Long as a starting midfielder? and then paying a bomb to bring in Perryman and playing him out of a back pocket.

It's a wonder they've put togetehr 15 wins this season.

 

[Gaston]

Can someone tell Impey, with a newborn in the house you are sleep deprived, lethargic, and simply go through the motions.

 

[Sprint Artisan]

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!!

It's interesting to note that all season we have only had three games where a midfielder has notched 30+ disposals, the last one being Massimo in round 8.
I think this is a reflection of Mitchell using players like Watson, Moore and Ginnivan up the ground a lot...

23 mid-week pregnancies at the pies?

They’ve had a good year considering but peaked when they played us earlier in the year and it’s been downhill since.

They’ll also be trying to rebuild a list while Tassie is dominating compromised drafts. Gonna be a long road back.

Glorious

Absolutely, once he and Sidey go they lose all their midfield smarts and calm. They’d be horrible.

 

[TassieGrown]

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

Amon was immense in the 2nd half

 

[TylerDurden]

Agree. They were their best 2 last night, again.

 

[TassieGrown]

Loved Warpel being responsible for a player. Makes him more dangerous. Maybe Lewis and Scrim our for Butler and Mackenzie in if they play well on the weekend. More run and we can contend.

There is no way you watched the game if you are maybeing Scrim to be out - Poor call

 

[Alex_au]

Impi - 2-3 years ago he was so frustrating to watch, but this year has turned into a real barometer for us. In PEAK form right now.

Lewis - Still finding confidence, I thought he should have been the one subbed out. But like the fact Mitchell kept him on as he needs to get some miles in. He's a long way off Chol and Dear output wise.

Breust - Was good to see him back, and really wish he could have snagged a goal. Ill be honest, he looks cooked. Bailey Mac would be much better suited to the sub role. Have no problem playing him against Melbourne one last time, but after that I think a tap on the shoulder might be in order.

 

[The Seaword]

They were pretty and their fall from grace Is a big story . There is plenty of pats on our back on sen though, our kaney making sure of it.

 

[TassieGrown]

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

The thrown down on Daikos was brutal

 

[Alex_au]

D'Ambrosio eating up marks in defence like he's a centre half back. GUN

 

[Stottzy]

Interesting that we had 1 less tackle than the last time we played them, they had -40. Couldn't find the stat, but pressure looked a lot higher.

 

[HawthornHawk]

King has to play devil's advocate to Kane's Hawthorn love-in sometimes but he is probably more fair than most give him credit for. Last Friday he said we'd played really well against the Crows and that we were every chance to beat the Pies.

 

[Hawker_85]

Who was the best on Ground?

…Yes.

Wasn't he on first?

 

[diggydig]

Wasn't he on first?

I Don't Know

Lewis hasn't been getting a lot of shots on goal, but Mitchell seems to be playing him in an important role as a midfield marking target. This really helps us out of the opposition decide to congest to middle of the ground to slow our run and handball approach...

 

[grumbleguts]

I thought the AFL.com.au's match report was great in that it accurately listed all those among the best.
