Autopsy Round 11, 2026: Hawks drop the Crows
Got back to Melbourne late yesterday afternoon, my key takeaways being at the game are that I couldn’t believe how cold it was ! I will never complain again about being cold at Marvel ! Wanted to shout out to Dimma Hardwick, his attack at the contest either forward or back and footy smarts is a... -
Autopsy Round 10, 2025: Hawks get Demonized
Most of selection options have been aired in this thread so I wont labour on that , what I will say is the team was severely comprised yesterday , to give that context if you took Stewart ( Barrass) , Cameron ( Gunston) , Neale ( Chol) , Atkins ( Nash) and Bailey ( Day) out of Geelong’s team... -
Preview Round 10, 2025: Melbourne v Hawthorn, 4:15pm Sat 16th May MCG
Team selection will be critical for this game. With Barrass out, the biggest threat with their tall forwards is Van Rooyen; the rest of their forwards, with Mihocek out., we should be able to handle. It will probably be Battle on Van Rooyen. Their small forwards (Chandler & Co), combined with... -
Autopsy Round 9, 2026: Hawks get docked
Thought losing Barrass early threw out balance being so tall , not the end of the world losing to them at home on a hot streak. I am concerned about the ability to play out 4 quarters , McKenzie , Ward , McDonald and co have absolutely improved this year but they they are still prone to fade... -

Waiting for Geelong to be rubbish is an exercise in futility…. Surely it has to happen one day ? 😩 -
Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Hawks bottle it
Agree, we are still relatively young in key areas , Dear in 20 , the group of Wiz, CMac , McKenzie, Ward & Weddle have improvement and maturity to come , let’s see them with another 50 games under thier belts ! We should expect some level of variability with their form and resilience. Look out... -
Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Hawks bottle it
It’s a long season, we came off a 5 day break and played flat and were lucky to get a draw in the end . We take the 2 points and move onto next week. -
Game Day Round 8, 2026: Collingwood v Hawthorn, 7.30pm @ MCG
This is a repeat of the Port game , clog up the centre corridor/ lower the eyes going forward/ find short targets in F50 or get it in the ground . Cmon Hawks ! -
Autopsy Round 7, 2026: Hawks destroy Suns
Off topic I know , but, I wanted to shout out to Massimo D’Ambrosio. I have been to all the games this year bar last week in Tasmania . What has struck me is how much Massimo has improved his physicality at the contest and in particular his tackling. He looks stronger in all areas , big... -

Preview Round 7, 2026: Hawthorn v Gold Coast Suns, 25 April 2026, 12.30pm AEST @ York Park
This game will demonstrate the level of depth we have , would think Sam and the coaching staff will have specific roles identified for Harry and Finn or why would they bring them in ? The inclusions as previously mentioned in this thread will add substantial running power which could stretch... -

That has to be rewarded , if Finn is not picked on that form it would be fair to say his papers may be marked! -
Autopsy Round 6, 2026: Hawks dim the lights
Tough watch at the ground, great to get the 4 points and move on. I have heard Marvel Stadium described as the “Esky” , we were sitting in Aisle 36 on the back row of level one and it was as cold as I have been at a footy game with the wind blowing through the open doors behind us.. Port... -
