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

[Jirik13]

For sure Pies 30+ line-up does not like 5 days break. Poor pressure and contest, beaten up my Meek and co in the middle.

Let's see how they go in Adelaide.

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

I know you're not a fool.

 

[Cyclops]

The cheif bagged 11 that day.

With a hole in his mf head put there by scumbag Tony Campbell. Incredible.

 

[JackFlash]

They’re not losing to Melbourne.

Come on…

Why not? Currently they are playing like a bottom 9 team, old tired and many injured. The Crows will eat them for breakfast and I give the Demons a very good chance in the last game.

Melbourne are absolutely flipping terrible. Come on, Jack.

Just did my ladder predictor and I have these guys facing off again in round one of the finals.

So were Collingwood against the Hawks, maybe i'm just being over optimistic in my hopes of a complete Pies capitulation this year, but i reckon they're toast!

I’d like to think so as well but Melbourne will capitulate against them!

 

[The Gulden Child]

I found all the booing of Daicos interesting. Do the hawks fans have something against people of Macedonian heritage? It's casual racism surely!

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

If you think its a suspension

Delete your account

You have no business discussing football

Dunno, I think it might be worth checks fixture a two week ban.

 

[demondavey]

Interesting that Stevic wasn’t umpiring last night…I am sure he will he fixtured for the hawks come finals

WLWLWL...

Also me:

 

[Spook]

How many’s weeks should Howe get for head butting Newcombe and not showing any duty of care?

 

[Dewyyyyy]

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.

That’s not how it works Dan.

He made an effective tackle but there was a headclash, there weren’t alternatives, and it doesn’t turn into a bump

It isn’t at all similar.

 

[King Hansen]

This is probably the first time I'm truly doubting Collingwood's flag chances this season.

Damn you're slow. They were cooked since King's Birthday.

 

[King Hansen]

They’re not losing to Melbourne.

Come on…

How many points did they beat Melbourne by earlier in the year?

 

[demondavey]

Melbourne never beat Collingwood. They’ll probably win by a point again.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Newcombe and Impey might be their most important players.

Jarman is one of the most underrated players in the competition. Made it even funnier that somebody listed him in the most OVERRATED thread earlier this year.

 

[demondavey]

Massive respect for Ginnivan after he got around that young fan on Thursday night. Well done lad.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Pies don't have any line breakers with his speed - actually I don't know if any side does, but atm who is their Impey, Max Holmes, Ed Richards, Wanganeen Milera? They have no running speed through the middle. Players who can regularly rack up 25-30 and say 600 metres gained. Crisp and DeGoey get caught a lot last night. McCreery is more a short burst player. Lipinski?

Smith Mitchell, Mitchell Smith, Sam Mitchell, Mitchell Lewis, Jordan Lewis, Lewis Jordan, Isaac Smith, Smith Isaac.

Macreery can do what Impey does. He's vitally important to their transition between the arcs and he's a bigger loss than people realise. Gives them a spark. Likewise Hill. It stood out they were pretty slow Thursday night and we made the most of it. Spread the ground than ran through them.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Melbourne are absolutely flipping terrible. Come on, Jack.

Not flipping terrible but I get the opinion. You have been competitive most weeks and I think that won't change with a caretaker coach at the helm.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

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

Payne will hurt against teams with big forward lines. We will see in 2 weeks how they counter it.

Thats generous, we were also outcoached. Mitchell had them controlling the pace of the game, put it to bed in the second half in a pretty mature way.

So yeah our lack of pace hurt,but you were pretty good when you slowed it down too,

You definitely got the mix of screen and tackles right, last time we met it was the other way round, form and injury hurt you, and our tactical response matched better.

The top sides are pretty close these days, you have to get so many aspects just right, Hawks are tuning it up at exactly the right time.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Collingwood the only team to ever suffer an injury within the game and have a couple of probably best 22 out tonight. Apparently.

We don't have many injuries but we have 2 pretty big outs in Day and Weddle. If we can manage to win a few games the next few weeks without them it will be a great effort. Weddle might be back for a EF but at best I'm thinking a SF if we make it that far.
