Autopsy AFL 2025 Rd 24 - Lions v Hawks - Sun August 24th 7:20pm AEST (Gabba)

[SA HAWK]

Brisbane still the favourite. Hawks still have the balls to worry anyone.

Great game.

We are competitive but that is 4 interstate games (Gold Coast, Freo, Adelaide & Brisbane) where we lost by a few goals or less.

Just needed to win 1 but just not quite good enough.

Death, taxes and hawks fans whining about some bullshit

 

[danster168]

was that when you smoked us?

errr, when we kicked inaccurately and lost by a small margin and losing a player early.

 

[Elixuh]

He went completely out of the game after quarter time, disappointing.

He did his best. The Chols Royce did good tonight. Let down by the Datsuns around him.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Oh right. I'm sure the end of season trip thing was made up, too.

You're not helping yourself with my assessment.

 

[VicBased]

He'll get a fine as is appropriate.

He will get weeks.

dude, you'd be doing the same if the decision happened against the lions. the only thing BS was a match deciding incorrect decision.

 

[LindaCrescent]

Please tell us how Lewis’s goal was a free kick. It’s ok, suck it up and enjoy an early September again this year

Fair enough, as long as you explain how chol wasn't blocked in the goal square

 

[BIGHAWK23]

How about your coach making jab injection "jokes"?

Lions fans ain’t gonna stand here and claim moral superiority with their track record

 

[Harris Specter]

Oh right. I'm sure the end of season trip thing was made up, too.

Wow you’re not having a good night are you? Take a break away from the keyboard

 

[lordbob]

Lions were clearly the better team and the scoreboard flattered Hawthorn in the end. Wild that some fans are pretending that the umpires were the difference

The umps were attrocious and favoured brisbane. Hawks would have gone close if they were evenly as terrible.

Lions also dominated the hawks through the middle for the whole game.

Both can be true.

Simpletons who don't like personalities in the game hate him, I appreciate that. People familiar with his off-field work all acknowledge he's a good guy, even those who think he's a flog on the field.

lol- you didn’t answer the question. It’s his on field persona that is the issue - nobody knows what he is like off the field. And on the field he is a top goose. And apparently a bit of a sniper into the bargain.

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

Yeah sweet

His dad played 300+ games for Hawthorn, 3 time premiership captain and a club legend

You have rocks in your head if you think he will be a lion

looks like the Hawks went backwards this year, from 6th to 8th.

Apart from the kids he watson let down not so long ago

Was Zorko on that trip?

 

[Elixuh]

Don't give Elixuh ammo.

 

[Stottzy]

Difference was the midfield, which has been the story of our year. Brisbane are a lot more polished going forward, where's Worpel and Nash efficiency was terrible. Good game.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

We're not even having a good year, yet wouldn't have lost without spineless umpires at a ground where the fans don't know the difference between a deliberate OOB and a 40/20.

Your coping really really well- it’s delicious.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Looks like you still chose the wrong pick

When’s Harley signed on?

Been rumoured for weeks, surely it couldn’t…….

 

[StackedHunch]

Was Zorko on that trip?

No, but his lookalike did his best to emulate him.

 

[Elixuh]

Oh right. I'm sure the end of season trip thing was made up, too.

Oof. You’re not taking this well. Won’t be getting much sleep tonight will you. I wish you well.

 

[Happy_Neale]

dude, you'd be doing the same if the decision happened against the lions. the only thing BS was a match deciding incorrect decision.

No I wouldn’t. In fact if you check my post history you’ll see I don’t think our game is meant to be umpired perfectly. It’s a game of interpretation. Complain if you want but it’s idiotic to blame umps for a loss IMO

Not as bad as Meek non holding the ball that lead to a goal or the “front on” free to Lewis which lead to a goal.

Seemed like there were a few calls when Lions looked to be pulling away that dragged Hawks back in. At one stage it seemed impossible for Lions to get a HTB call. Then after Rosebury let Meek fend off and stride away before being tackled, he pinged young Ashcroft I think who had about a nanonsecond in comparison and put his arm up to protect himself more than anything, which led directly to a Hawk goal.

But then obviously you have the calls at the end, that people want to magnify. The fact is it was poorly officiated all night. 27 free kicks suggests a lot of scragging, holding, blocking and non HTB calls went by.

The better team won and looking forward to another opportunity to take on the Lions. You’ve chopped us up the last few times with your ball use, but within those games, we have also shown if we can get pressure on the ball carrier and higher up the field we can force turnovers. Hopefully with the break, we can maintain the pressure for longer this time around.
